Damei Puzhehei Wetland Park, Swan Lake (Series 8)

Damei Puzhehei Wetland Park, Swan Lake (Series 8)

January 4th, Saturday, sunny.

Well, it’s been half a month in Puerto Rico, and every day is sunny. Even if it rains occasionally at night, the daytime is still sunny. Moreover, no matter whether the weather forecast is sunny, cloudy with little cloud, or even cloudy with light rain, the sun is basically sunny. of.

Today we first took a car to the place where Qiubei came to enter the scenic spot. This is equivalent to the gate, but it is strange that this is the official entrance to the scenic spot, but the real gate of Puzhehei scenic spot is inside.

There is a wetland park here, actually two, one is Xihuang Wetland and the other is Puzhehei National Wetland Park.

In fact, the entire Puzhehei is a huge wetland park, but the gate of the wetland park is here.

Its characteristic, unlike other wetlands, is that there is more water, and the rest is also dry land. The Puzhehei wetland has a lot of swamps, and large tracts of thatch and reeds can be seen everywhere.

Going out of the gate is the road to the north of Tongqiu. There is an iron fence near the lake on the road, and there is a small strip of land along the lake inside. The other side of the road is the lake. Go straight north, and there is a pier and a bridge leading to the opposite bank.

There are few tourists in this wetland, but the scenery is quite good. There is a large swamp at the entrance, and after entering, the swamp turns into a lake, and there are still hills on the opposite side. The lake and mountains are very beautiful.

The only problem is that the boat ride is more expensive, even though it is off-season and there is no discount.

We walked to the junction of the swamp and the lake in front, where the land narrowed considerably, and then followed a path deep into the depths of the swamp until we reached the junction of the swamp and the center of the lake.

The thatch is still gray, the reeds are vast, the water is shining, and the mountains are empty.

There are also gulls and herons flying up and down, and jacanas swimming around in the lake, so happy.

The cool breeze blows away our dryness and heat (Although it is the middle of winter, but the sun is too fierce, I made up a song saying: Counting nine in the cold winter and sweating profusely, the weather is not cold and the sun is shining...)

It goes all the way to the center of the lake, but it is a pity that it is interrupted here. In fact, it only penetrates less than one-third of the center of the lake.

We pretended to sigh at the lake, went back to the other side of the gate, and here is the official gate of Puzhehei National Wetland Park.

Taking pictures, in fact, the Wetland Park refers to the entire Puzhehei, where there are only symbolic buildings of the gate and the pier.

There are very few tourists at the wharf now. Depending on the ship type and route, there are nearly 100 yuan and 170 yuan. After we have a look, we can go to the interior of Puzhehei.

A road divides a large lake and swamp into two halves. One half is naturally the Western Wilderness Wetland. One is dominated by the lake, and the other half is mostly swamps and wasteland. The grass is luxuriant and the reeds are blurred. Time is limited, and we have not gone deep into it. .

Walk along the road to the opposite mountain, here is the No. 1 entrance of Swan Lake.

Today I brought my old age card and asked the ticket office, the old age card is free.

This is good in Yunnan. Many scenic spots are free for senior citizens.

Other places are a little bit worse. The Baimo Cave and Bainiaoyan in Bama, my dad was over 80 a few years ago, still can't enjoy half price, but the so-called preferential price, which is roughly 30% off...

It wasn't until the year before last that there was a half-price policy for seniors. As for free for those over 70, don't even think about it.

This Swan Lake ticket is 80, if it is more than 60 half price, it is 40, and the old people's card is free. It seems that Yunnan is really friendly to the elderly.

It would be even better if the ferry tickets can also be discounted.

Note that age is not considered in many places in Yunnan. It is free if you have an old age card, but half price if you don’t have it.

When entering Swan Lake, there are mountains on one side and a lake on the other. There are water birds, but no swans have been seen. I have been in Puzhehei for so long. Only when I went out for an adventure on the first day of my stay, did I see a swan, and I didn’t see the rest. However, there should be a Swan Lake, right?

While thinking, walking forward, on a high cliff, stands a toilet... against the background of the blue sky and white clouds, it looks extraordinarily tall and holy...

After arriving inside, there are mountains, lakes, bridges, and many waterfowls, but I still haven’t seen swans. It is stable that the swans are released, and naturally they will not do it in the off-season now.

Although the scenery of Swan Lake is slightly better than the outside, there is actually no fundamental difference, because Puzhehei is so beautiful everywhere.

Caption: This is the place where the legendary swans are released, and there is no one in the off-season.

The scenery along the way moves with the steps, the mountains do not turn, the water turns, the water does not turn, stop and go, take pictures, and take a break in the rest area. It took more than an hour to finish the Swan Lake. See the photo for details.

Coming out of the Swan Lake, there is a cattail pond with a dock. There are many lotus leaf boats in front of it. There is a bus stop and a large parking lot outside. It is also the starting point for battery cars. But now there are very few tourists. Two tourists asked us We gave an introduction to how it was inside, and they were very happy to go in.

It's a bit far from Puzhehei Village. We planned to take a bus, but after waiting for a long time (more than half an hour), the bus didn't come. Just now, Stable and I looked at our mobile phone, raised our head suddenly, and saw the bus passing by, waving desperately, non-stop, go away...

Dumbfounded, and not wanting to wait another half to an hour, we drove the No. 11 bus.

Unexpectedly, until we returned to Puzhehei Village, the bus was still missing. It seems that the so-called half-hourly bus is not so accurate.

Xihuang Wetland is very big and beautiful. It is worth visiting. It is a good place to relax in a daze. There are large swamps and grasslands; Swan Lake, although there is no essential difference from the outside scenery, is still beautiful. The essence of Puzhehei lies in it. tour.

Comparison of health preservation environment between Bama and Puzhehei:

The natural environment of Puzhehei in winter can be summarized in a song: the thatch is green, the reeds are vast, there are a group of old cows, on the side of the water, the thatch is luxuriant, the reeds are blurred, there are a group of old cows, living by the water, the landscape and rural scenery are very natural and beautiful . Including the artificial environment and facilities are also in harmony with nature, plus the scenic area is large, no need to spend money, and there are few people in winter, so Puzhehei is one of the best places to live in China in winter.

Bama, the natural environment used to be beautiful, but now it is severely damaged, many original features have disappeared, and there is no modern project to make Bama more beautiful, and all man-made facilities have no aesthetic feeling.

The natural environment of Puzhehei is much lower than that of Bama, but Puzhehei has a higher altitude, with a minimum of more than 1,400 meters. Mountain climbing and activities are tiring, which is a disadvantage.

Climate: There are many rainy days in Bama, so even though the temperature is high, it is still cold. Therefore, winter in Bama is often winter.

Puzhehei climate can also be expressed with a song: in the cold winter of counting nine, sweating profusely, the weather is not cold and the sun is shining, almost every day is sunny and the humidity is low, so even though the absolute temperature is not high, only more than 20 degrees, but Sun exposure, almost the same as summer.

Living conditions: Bama has complete facilities, making people feel at home, and they can live a free life similar to that at home. Therefore, it belongs to the category of home-style health tourism. Puzhehei is mainly for sojourning services. , there is no kitchen, there is a gap compared with Bama, but it is a good place to live in winter.

However, the consumption in Puzhehei is very high during the peak season, and many accommodations cost more than three to five hundred yuan a day. Therefore, it is not suitable for home-style health tourism, and it is only suitable for migratory birds during the off-season in winter.
