Introduction Yiliang Cave Exploration

Introduction
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Yiling, Yunnan, the core of the karst secrets of central Yunnan, is famous for its Jiuxiang caves and various stone forests, and is known as the "Asian Cave Museum". The ancient ocean deposits 270 million years ago, carved by groundwater for hundreds of millions of years, formed more than a hundred three-dimensional and staggered cave systems. The male and female waterfalls are like giant dragons tearing through the strata and roaring into the Yincui Gorge underground river; the Shentian terrace-like travertine pools are glowing with emerald light, forming a symphony in the center of the earth with the giant stone curtain hanging 30 meters high. Explorers can take a boat to cross the thousand-meter underground river of Jinghun Gorge, look up at the stalactite forest hanging from the top of the cave, or use SRT technology to quickly descend a 60-meter vertical shaft, and discover fluorescent mycelium and transparent blind shrimp in the undeveloped bat cave branches. The Lion Hall spans over 200 meters, with ancient marine fossils densely covered on the dome, and rock paintings of Yi ancestors hunting hidden in the mottled stone walls eroded by sulfur. Extreme projects such as underground river rafting and cave via ferrata connect the boiling underground waterfalls and the travertine maze that has been silent for thousands of years. Yiliang uses the primitive brushstrokes of crustal upheavals to engrave the hydrological power and humanistic codes into a book, inviting the brave to go upstream and touch the pulse of the land in central Yunnan that has been beating for billions of years.

How to play in Yangzonghai on a cloudy day.

How to play in Yangzonghai on a cloudy day.

Yangzonghai is a large lake. The place I went to is on the beach in front of Fuli Bay. To be precise, it is a wetland park. When I went to Yangzonghai, it happened to be a cloudy day. Generally speaking, the lake is more beautiful when it is sunny. I didn't expect that the cloudy day would be a pool of clouds, I really don't know whether it is in the sky or on the ground, it's very dreamy! Many people took small national flags and took pictures on small sailboats during the National Day. There is a very intimate green grass blanket, where you can relax and set up a tent in a daze. The most fun thing should be cycling. There are three or four people riding, and there are also electric cars. Many parents took their children, barefoot in the shallow beach, scooping up small fish with a spoon, it's fun! There is also an area designated as a fishing area, and fishing friends should be very happy to be free 🚉Traffic strategy: If you drive by yourself, it is at the gate of Fuli Bay Community. There is a large sandy parking lot, which is easy to park. Although it is not free, it is very cheap. 🍽Restaurant recommendation: On the left hand side of the road from the parking lot to the beach, there are many family restaurants. The most common one is rice noodles. A bowl of sauerkraut and minced meat for ten yuan is not bad. There are also many roasted potatoes and sausages, which are cost-effective.

Hello, Yangzong Lake, everything will get better!

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.
