I have a date with spring

For people who are accustomed to urban life, the tense rhythm often makes people feel tired. Going back to nature, going on a spring date, and truly experiencing the beauty of life is the best reward for yourself.
Qiubei is rich in fish, shrimp and lotus root, all of which come from Puzhehei. A quick glance two years ago, the memory is especially deep. The terraced fields and beautiful scenery of Yuanyang are only a few hours' drive away. This time, I deliberately lingered for a few days to experience the idyllic life again.

The dusk of Puzhehei is intoxicating. The quiet village, the calm lake, the sunset is like a dream, and the mountains are like brocade. The horseshoes are leisurely on the path, the water buffaloes return to herd at the edge of the fields, and a group of ducks looking for food disturb the spring water of the lake. Leaning on the edge of the lake, leisurely putting bait in the water, and waiting for two or three fish and shrimp to get the bait, it is enough for dinner.
Zhuangmeiyang has been the hometown of Hani people since ancient times. When the sun rises in the east and the morning fog gradually dissipates, watching the terraced fields above the clouds in the mountains, the majestic momentum is surging and moving. Layers upon layers of terraced fields outline the mountains, like a cloud mirror bursting, reflecting the sky and the earth. What belongs to the nation is what belongs to the world. It is really fortunate that the once ancient terraced fields have finally become a world cultural heritage.
The mysterious beauty of the dam is hidden deep in the mountains. Surrounded by mountains, outsiders have no way out. Walking hundreds of steps along the stream, there is water coming out of the cave, and the boat carries it in, but there is no other cave. Ancient cypresses and giant banyan trees, rural style, and hundreds of households have lived here for generations. I sigh that there really is such a paradise in the world, and it is finally disturbed by tourists.
Stopping at Bisezhai Village, the vicissitudes of life have preserved the small station, looking for the ancient city of Jianshui, and the centuries-old clouds have passed through the eaves. Along the way, I saw ignorant children, shy village girls, white-haired old men, and boatmen in Tsing Yi, all showing sincere and innocent smiles. The folk customs are extremely simple, and they are often suddenly moved by it.

I have a promise with spring, even if the mountains and rivers are separated, even if there are thousands of waves in the clouds, the spring breeze will turn into rain without dust and smoke.
The remnants of the lotus have revealed their sharp corners, and the swifts have come to hold the spring title again. The peach blossoms are gorgeous and the willows are swaying in the wind, and the grass is luxuriant and green.
