Like Jiuzhaigou in Sichuan, it is known as the "king of water features" because of its outstanding lake landscape; Elephant trunk mountain in Guilin is called "the most famous mountain" because it looks like a giant elephant drinking water by the river. In fact, there are many such "best scenery" in China!
Let the editor English Jay introduce you to a beautiful lake on the plateau, which also has the reputation of "the biggest"!
This lake is located in Dianchi Lake, Kunming City, Yunnan Province!
Dianchi Lake is located in the southwest of Kunming City, Yunnan Province, with an area of about 330 square kilometers, equivalent to 50 West Lakes in Hangzhou (the lake surface area of the West Lake is about 6.38 square kilometers), and it is the largest freshwater lake in Yunnan Province!
The average water depth of Dianchi Lake is 5 meters, and the deepest is 8 meters. In addition, the lake is about 1886 meters above sea level, so it is also known as the "Pearl of the Plateau"!
Dianchi Lake is famous for its clear water, beautiful scenery and numerous scenic spots besides being located on the plateau and having a vast lake surface! There are scenic spots such as Cuihu and Xishan around Dianchi Lake, and the tourism resources are very rich!
Dianchi Lake is an earthquake-faulted lake. It is about 30-40km long from north to south, with an average width of 7km from east to west, and the widest point is about12.5km.. In the north of the lake, there is a 3.5-kilometer-long and 300-meter-wide bar sand, which divides the lake into two parts, inside and outside, and there is a "one-line bisection" landscape!
Here I have to tell the story of "past lives" in Dianchi Lake!
As early as the 1960s, the water quality of Dianchi Lake was still excellent, but after the 1990s, the water quality deteriorated further!
The most obvious thing is that the transparency of the lake is reduced, the aquatic vegetation is reduced, and the aquatic resources are also reduced!
The most amazing thing is that there are few luxuriant and beautiful "kelp flowers" and they are replaced by "water hyacinth", which shows that the eutrophication of Dianchi Lake is getting more and more serious!
Dianchi Lake suffered "damage" mainly because of the discharge of domestic sewage, industrial sewage and agricultural sewage. In addition, Dianchi Lake is a semi-closed lake, and there is not enough clear water to replace the lake! So it caused the "aging" process of Dianchi Lake!
But fortunately, by the beginning of 2 1 century, relevant units had paid attention to related problems and began to control and protect them. Now the water quality in Dianchi Lake has improved!
So I, Jay of England, also appeal here that when I come to Dianchi Lake, I must take good care of the ecology here and be a "qualified" tourist!
Having finished the story of Dianchi Lake, I, Jay of England, will focus on introducing the scenic spots and landscapes of Dianchi Lake to my friends!
There are many landscapes along the Dianchi Lake, such as "Cuihu", which is originally a part of Dianchi Lake and is the most worthwhile place to visit!
Cuihu Lake, formerly known as Caihaizi, gradually separated from Dianchi Lake because of its low water level. However, there are still rivers in Dianchi Lake that connect with Caohai through Honghua Bridge, which can be said to be a scenic spot that "breaks" with Dianchi Lake!
Cuihu Lake is also called "Jiulong Pool" because of the continuous gushing of groundwater in the lake! Now Cuihu Lake has become one of the important landscapes beside Dianchi Lake!
In addition to the Cuihu Lake, we also have to introduce the "best scenic spot in Dianchi Lake"-Xishan!
Xishan is located next to Dianchi Lake. Climb the western hills, commanding, overlooking Dianchi Lake, panoramic view! Therefore, Xishan is also considered by the public to be the best place to watch Dianchi Lake!
Xishan Mountain and ancient Dianchi Lake were produced by ancient geological movements. Due to crustal changes, faults appear, and the fault line rises in the west and is relatively depressed in the east, forming a beautiful scenery with lakes in the east and mountains in the west!
Now there is a better choice to climb the mountain to see Dianchi Lake, because there is a cable car to ride, and tourists can overlook Dianchi Lake from the cable car, with a panoramic view of the lakes and mountains!
Dear friends, this largest freshwater lake in Yunnan Province is equivalent to 50 West Lakes in Hangzhou. It is located on the plateau and has a legendary story of "past lives"! Do you want to come and have a look? Come and play this summer vacation!
Finally, I would like to remind you in a friendly way: when traveling, you must pay attention to protecting the local ecological environment and be a qualified "tourist"!
