Jian Lake in Yunnan, where seaweed flowers bloom like a fairy 🌸

In autumn, Jian Lake in Dali, Yunnan, is as clear and blue as a polished gem on the plateau. The water temperature here is moderate, with an annual average of about 11°C, and the water is clean and fresh, making it a rare living water lake on the northwestern Yunnan plateau. Flocks of water birds play on the lake surface, occasionally diving in to feed, adding a touch of vitality to the tranquil lake. The unique charm of Jian Lake lies in the white seaweed flowers swaying with the waves, dotted with tender yellow stamens, beautiful and ethereal. Taking a boat tour on the lake to admire this natural beauty up close feels like being inside a moving painting. Besides the natural scenery, Jian Lake also carries rich cultural heritage. The beautiful scene of "fishing lights on the sea" can still be seen today; at night, when fishing quietly, the firelight shines like stars in the sky, creating a unique atmosphere. Every year on the 15th day of the 6th lunar month, a festival is held around Jian Lake, where villagers from surrounding communities walk around the lake, creating a lively and festive scene. Come to Jian Lake in Dali to experience the romance and tranquility of autumn and enjoy the perfect blend of nature and culture!
