On the way back from Xishuangbanna, stay in Pu’er for one night; take a detour to the border town——Jiangcheng, stay for one night; return to Pu’er for another night; stay in Shiping, stay for one night; go to Fuxian Lake via Jianshui , stay for three nights; during Fuxian Lake, go to Kunming Dianchi Lake to see red-billed gulls once. Every place I visited has its own advantages and disadvantages. Most of the places I have known before, and I have been to Dianchi Lake before. Only Shiping and Yilong Lake were completely unknown to me.
Shiping is a county belonging to Honghe Prefecture, about 60% of which are ethnic minorities, and it is about 250 kilometers away from Kunming. Arrived at Shiping at noon, and settled in an inn not far from Yilong Lake outside the city. After settling down, most people took a lunch break and went to the "Shiping Ancient City" in the city by themselves on the "fire three rounds". On the way, they chatted with the owner of the car. She proudly said: "The economy here is underdeveloped but the air is good. The winter is warm and full of air." Love of home. In addition to wandering in the "ancient city", I saw the Confucian Temple and the former residence of Yuan Jiagu, the number one scholar in the special economic department in the late Qing Dynasty, and the editor of the Imperial Academy, all of which are relatively well preserved and quite distinctive.
After returning to the inn from the city, we went to Yilong Lake together. When we arrived, our hearts were shocked, what a beautiful lake! The lake is a national-level wetland. When I went there, the sun was setting, the mountains were against the backdrop, the water and the sky matched each other, the air was clear, the temperature was pleasant, and the scenery was quite beautiful. The scale of Yilong Lake is far from that of Fuxian Lake. The beauty lies in: the offshore shoal is very wide, and there are plots out of the water in between. The trees and plants are verdant, and the scenery is pleasant, which is also conducive to the habitat and reproduction of birds; there are plank roads extending into the lake. The connecting trail meanders into the wetland, and tourists and local residents can get close to the wetland, which is very suitable for leisurely strolling. In addition, the winter here is warm (the average temperature in the coldest January is 11.6°C), the air quality is good, and the housing prices and commodity prices are not high. It is really a good place to spend winter.
