Yunnan - Kunming Dianchi Lake - Dali Erhai Lake

I've always wanted to visit Yunnan, and my first stop was Dianchi Lake in Kunming. In the morning, the sun gently shines on the lake, making it sparkle like countless diamonds. Many tourists and locals have already gathered by the lake, skillfully throwing bread crumbs into the air, attracting flocks of black-headed gulls to fly and fight for food, chirping all the while. I couldn't wait to join them. As soon as I stretched out my hand with bread, several bold black-headed gulls flew over and snatched the food. Their white feathers glowed softly in the sunlight, and their graceful figures were fascinating. A breeze blew by, bringing the fresh scent of the lake mixed with a faint fragrance of flowers and grass, making me feel relaxed and happy. After saying goodbye to Dianchi Lake, I went to Erhai Lake in Dali. The beauty here is more gentle and quiet, like a serene girl. Riding along Erhai Lake, the water flows slowly beside me, and the distant Cangshan Mountain undulates with clouds and mist lingering on the top, like a dream. From time to time, I can see small boats moored on the lake, gently swaying with the waves, as if telling ancient stories. In the evening, Erhai Lake is dyed orange-red by the sunset, and the sky looks like a spilled palette, colorful. I sat by the shore, quietly watching the beautiful scenery in front of me, and my troubles and fatigue were swallowed by the boundless Erhai Lake. At this moment, time seemed to stand still, leaving only me and the lake and mountains gazing at each other. The lively and cheerful Dianchi Lake and the tranquil and leisurely Erhai Lake left an indelible impression on me. The mountains and rivers of Yunnan are like nature's proudest masterpieces, each exuding a unique charm that makes me intoxicated and reluctant to leave.
