After entering May, the weather suddenly became hot, and my temper became irritable day by day. I was in Kunming, but I really couldn't feel the kindness from the "Spring City". In previous years, after summer, I would go to a place with water to stay for a few days, whether it is Dianchi Lake or Fuxian Lake, in the world of mountains and rivers, the irritability brought about by the summer in my heart can always be quickly dispelled .
But this year there has been a lack of interest. Perhaps due to the impact of the epidemic, everyone seems to dislike traveling far away. Places like Dianchi Lake, Yangzonghai Lake, and Fuxian Lake are increasingly overcrowded due to their reputation. In the past, I was crazy about entering the mountains, and I fell in love with the water, but now there are people in the mountains and waters, and the number of times I go is more, which makes my expectations for the journey less and less.
Fortunately, there are many mountains and rivers in central Yunnan, and soon I had a new "prey", the small town of Fenglongwan in Xundian. Yes, I regard every outing as an action, hunting mountains, hunting water, and hunting strange things. Fenglong Bay Town is a newly opened scenic spot in the past two years. Many people know it because of the dreamy fairy tale world there, but I am different from others. I went there for the fjord scenery.
Starting from Kunming by car, heading north all the way, I didn't expect it to rain heavily just after leaving the toll booth. This is not the point, the point is that there is a rainbow in the sky after the rain! Although only half of the rainbow can be seen from the car, it was enough to surprise me. The vehicle is driving fast, as if it is not going elsewhere, or chasing the rainbow at the end of the road. The countryside washed by the rain is exceptionally clean, and the air is also mixed with the aroma of soil and plants. This moment is really long gone.
Unexpectedly, because of a rain, my trip to Fenglong Bay became exciting from the very beginning. After more than an hour, I failed to catch up with the rainbow, but saw a castle hidden in the forest at the end of the road. I think this is the destination of my trip.
The huge Aladdin's magic lamp, the magnificent Persian-style buildings, the strange houses with strange shapes, and the unfinished fairytale castle... The buildings in the town all exude their unique temperament. I just looked at them from a distance, and didn't go in to join in the fun. People are good, I only love mountains and rivers, and the train to the depths of the forest is about to leave. As for them, I plan to have a good look around before leaving, if there are few people.
Taking a train cruise and seeing the scenery of the fjord is a long-planned tour route. When I got on the sightseeing train, I knew I was in the right place. I didn't hear a word from the staff's introduction about the sightseeing train line. All I know is that the track is very long and the train is very slow. Sitting on it, time seems to slow down, giving me enough time to close my eyes and think about everything, or nothing at all.
After passing the garden square, the train shuttles through the dense forest and occasionally crosses the lake. The scenery along the way is of course not a problem, but what really makes people feel at ease is the kind of time when they are not in a hurry and only love one person in their lives. A 40-minute train ride can take people from one city to another, or from one state to another. The floating air polluted in the city has already been purified by the mountains and waters along the way at this moment.
The terminal of the sightseeing train is Hebian Village. This is a village with both nature and humanities. In addition to the natural scenery such as streams, mountain flowers, meadows, and forests, there are also historical relics such as the Three Bridges Concentric. The villagers here seem to be still living the farming life of working at sunrise and resting at sunset. People in the village envy the life of the people in the city, but they don't know that many people in the city envy them even more. After walking along the river for half an hour, I boarded the lake light yacht and started the return journey.
Unlike traveling by train, traveling by yacht leaves no time for wild thoughts. The Huguang Yacht sailed around the mountain. Although the speed was not too fast, it was definitely not slow. The scenery along the way is beautiful, especially after entering the Small Three Gorges, the forests are green, the valleys are deep and secluded, and the scenery is one step at a time. Even a person like me who usually pretends to be sick can only say "so beautiful" in the continuous scene change emotion.
During the nearly 40-minute journey of the Huguang Yacht, the people on board with me were busy recording videos all the way, but I just took a few photos casually. Although the scenery is beautiful, I don't intend to keep them, whether in the mobile phone or in the memory. Because I know, next time, I will come again.
After going back and forth, when the yacht finally stopped at the pier, I saw the castle and the iconic buildings of the strange house again. It seems to be back to the starting point, but it is not the past. The quiet mountain nourishes the nature, the moving water is pleasant, among the mountains and rivers of Fenglong Bay, I found the long-lost peace in my heart.
