Hello, Yangzong Lake, everything will get better!

During the Spring Festival holiday, I had my first encounter with Yangzong Lake, a place I had heard of but never seen before. Taking the elderly and children out to see the world, and incidentally checking out the lakeside trail and the actual situation of the Yunnan-Burma Railway, to prepare for this year's hiking. The starting point of the lakeside trail is Shijiaozui, a peninsula paved with gravel. To the right of the peninsula are steep cliffs with mid-mountain villas, and in front is the misty lake surface, where flocks of bare-headed ducks float on the water, and a few red-billed gulls circle overhead. Distant mountains, mist, the calm lake surface, and flying birds sketch a tranquil and harmonious landscape painting. At the front end of the peninsula, a quaint stone-paved path extends into the lake through the gravel beach, dividing it in two, yet adding a bit more interest. People on the stone beach are chasing fun, feeding gulls and taking photos, flying drones, or simply sitting in groups under the shade of trees, staring at the lake in a daze. I simply squatted by the water, picked up stones on the spot, and built a small stone tower, listening to the gentle lapping of the waves, and revisiting the carefree mindset of childhood. Around the left side of the peninsula, facing the thermal power plant. The tall chimneys and large cooling towers sit quietly on the opposite shore. The sudden appearance of industrial buildings in the natural landscape brings a significant visual impact. The development process of humanity is one of self-correction, and sometimes the cost is high, as was the pollution of Yangzong Lake in previous years. After more than a decade of introspection and remediation, everything seems to have returned to balance, and I sincerely hope that everything can truly return to balance... Behind the peninsula, the garden is lush with trees, very suitable for picnicking in the shade. The trail leads down to the Overseas Chinese Town base. The entire Overseas Chinese Town is divided into upper and lower parts, with a flower sea and lawn built against the mountain on the left side of the road, and several train carriages parked on the right side, painted with graffiti, full of artistic flair. The blue-roofed and white-walled buildings inside the base are very reminiscent of the style of Santorini. The idle hotel looks beautiful but carries a bit of desolation, telling the story of the hardships and bumps in the real estate development of Yangzong Lake over the years. On the side, there are several amusement parks suitable for children to play, and behind the hotel is the brand new lakeside trail, with lush greenery on both sides. I heard in January that the lakeside trail was connected and really wanted to come and see it in person. It's a great trail that should be included in the plan early . Finally, we drove to Yiliang to end the trip with the much-anticipated Yiliang roast duck, a short and refined outing that made the elderly happy, with only the teenagers feeling bored . 🚉【Traffic Strategy】 Drive from the south of Kunming, take the South Ring Expressway ~ Shangkun Expressway ~ Sanaluminum Road ~ Fukun Road to reach R&F Bay. 100 meters from R&F Bay community, there is a huge public parking lot 🅿️ on the right side of the road. Exit the parking lot, turn right and walk to the gate of R&F Bay community, then turn left and you will see the two-color trail (if you can't find it, ask the security guards or staff). The trail passes through the R&F Bay villa area, and the end is Shijiaozui - a man-made small stone beach. 💾About Yangzong Lake Yangzong Lake, the third deepest freshwater lake in Yunnan, has a lake surface elevation of 1770 kilometers, a water surface area of 31 square kilometers, a storage capacity of 600 million cubic meters, a basin area of 192 square kilometers, and an average depth of 20 meters. It spans the junction of Chengjiang, Chenggong, and Yiliang, and is a fault-trap lake. Yangzong Lake was anciently known as Daze, Yixiu Lake. It was named Yangzong Lake in the Southern Song Dynasty, called 'Dachi' in Yuan, and also known as 'Tangchi' because of the hot springs on one side, and Ming Lake in Ming. The downstream water system belongs to the Nanpan River Pearl River system. The tribulation of Yangzong Lake The trajectory of human development always begins with excessive demands on nature due to greed, and Yangzong Lake was no exception. In the industrial development wave from the late 90s to the 20s, industrial and domestic wastewater was discharged without restraint, severely polluting the water body, and Yangzong Lake, once a highland pearl, was innocently turned into a forbidden lake. After 12 years of management, with huge financial, human, and material resources, the water quality has been restored from class 5 to class 2. Everything has its good and bad sides, and perhaps it is these years of seclusion and cultivation that have allowed Yangzong Lake to recover from severe damage and gain more of a serene charm. Hello, Yangzong Lake, everything will get better, looking forward to seeing you again Thoughts 1. The plateau region is rich in ultraviolet rays, so do good sun protection before going out. 2. In addition to the lake, Yangzong Lake also has many hot springs to enjoy.

#jiuxiang Karst Caves Very good place to see the different geological features.

The saying 'Above ground, you see the Stone Forest; underground, you see Jiuxiang' is indeed not an exaggeration!

Recommended reason: Visiting the Stone Forest in Kunming is a standard activity. The 'Number One Wonder of the World,' the Kunming Stone Forest, allows one to experience the natural marvels crafted by the forces of nature, and to feel the traces of time flowing through the rocks. Within the Jiuxiang Yi and Hui ethnic township, about 35 kilometers from Kunming in Yiliang County, lies an 'underground Stone Forest'—the Yiliang Jiuxiang Scenic Area, a site dominated by a group of karst caves. The area is rich in dense forests and abundant in flora and fauna, featuring both magnificent mountain gorges and exquisite underground caves, and is a typical karst landscape. The main attractions include: Yincui Gorge, Jingshen Gorge, Male Lion Hall, Male and Female Waterfalls, Shentian, and other sites. Among them, the Male Lion Hall was the filming location for the flying scenes of Jackie Chan and Kim Hee-sun in the movie 'The Myth,' and Shentian is a rare 'limestone dam cluster' (similar to 'Cotton Castle'), a wonder formed by billions of years of sedimentation. Address: Jiuxiang Yi and Hui Ethnic Township, Yiliang County, Kunming City, Yunnan Province. Ticket price: Adult ticket 60 yuan, cable car ticket 30 yuan (optional). Touring time: 3-4 hours. Best seasons to visit: Spring, summer, and autumn, with spring and summer being the most suitable seasons. Touring route: Enter the scenic area → dock, take a boat tour through Yincui Gorge → walk through Jingshen Gorge → visit the four caves in sequence: Male Lion Hall, Goddess Palace, Male and Female Waterfalls, Shentian (limestone dam), Yi Family Village, Underground Inverted Stone Forest, and other attractions Precautions: 1) The scenic area mainly features cave tours, so if you visit in spring or autumn, be sure to wear thicker clothes like a windbreaker to avoid catching a cold. 2) There is climbing up and down in the scenic area, so it is recommended to wear light and comfortable shoes, and women should avoid wearing skirts if possible. 3) There are few food supply points in the scenic area, so it is advisable to bring some bottled water, bread, and other snacks. Be careful not to litter water bottles, food packaging bags, and other trash in the scenic area, and protect the environment.

What can be arranged for a one-day tour of Yiliang Jiuxiang?

1. There are ninety-nine karst caves in Jiuxiang, which is known as the hometown of karst caves. The natural caves here are warm in winter and cool in summer, maintaining a constant temperature of 19 degrees Celsius all year round, especially comfortable in summer. The scenery is tranquil and charming, known as the Valley of Lovers. The grand and spacious Lion Hall, with its majestic appearance, is like two silver dragons hanging down from the sky, forming a male and female double waterfall. The entire scenic area possesses a unique and exquisite landscape, essentially a massive cave museum, which is truly breathtaking. 2. After visiting the attractions, right next to it is the Azalea Garden, where you can enjoy flowers, cute pets, and it's especially not to be missed by families with children. You can take beautiful photos and interact with small animals. When you're tired, it's just the right time to enjoy a sumptuous self-service barbecue. These two full cabinets, with dozens of meat dishes, are all you can eat, including scallops, beef, oysters, and more. There are also many alcoholic beverages and soft drinks available for self-service, and they are all branded products. 3. In such an environment, it's really comfortable for a family to eat barbecue and have hot pot at the same time. If you don't want barbecue, you can also take away a Yiliang roasted duck. In a day's tour, not only do you experience the perfect blend of mountains, water, and caves, and marvel at the wonders of nature, but it's also not exhausting.
