Big Mountain Bag is a place for all seasons
The climate in Big Mountain Bag in Zhaotong, Yunnan is unpredictable. In a single day, you can experience fog, rain, and snow, as well as the rainbow that appears after the snow, which is colorful. The weather in Big Mountain Bag changes rapidly. Yesterday it was still sunny and sunny. Overnight, the temperature dropped sharply. The next day it seemed to come to another world. When you wake up from your dream, the window is already 'Morning silver threads hang on branches', like a fairy tale world.

I saw the black-necked crane foraging in the snow in the mountains of Zhaotong!
I traveled thousands of miles to see the black-necked crane in the mountains of Zhaotong, Yunnan~~
Someone even bought a telephoto lens specifically. Because it can only be shot from a distance, I found that the lens is still not enough when I use it
The black-necked crane is a national first-class protected animal. Local materials show that there are only more than 8,000 in the world (a documentary a few days ago said that there are now 15,000 in the world), and there are more than 1,800 in the mountains of Zhaotong, which is the place with the most black-necked cranes in the world.
These black-necked cranes fly from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to the mountains of Zhaotong to overwinter every November, and fly back before March of the following year. People say that these black-necked cranes usually fall in love in the mountains, and reproduce offspring after breeding on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
The black-necked crane has several gathering points in the mountains. At 11 o'clock every day and 1 o'clock in the afternoon, workers will specifically feed them into the mountains. Therefore, during these two time periods, the black-necked cranes are the most concentrated.
Although I can't shoot the black-necked cranes by the water at close range, I happened to encounter a few black-necked cranes foraging in the snow on the mountain on the way back, very close to the roadside, which is still very lucky

In Yunnan, the geographical concept of northeastern Yunnan, as long as you look at the map, it is understood to be part of Zhaotong City and Qujing City.
There is a little secret in Zhaotong - Dashanbao, where there is the sea of Jigong Mountain, the black-necked crane with the sea, and the scenery is excellent. The following is a self-driving road book for Chengdu and Chongqing.
Self-driving route: Chongqing Chengdu is the first to go into the high-speed highway, and the inner river to Yibin Expressway to Yibin (the lunch can be arranged in the inner river, and the squid museum is delicious not far from the lower crossing of Neijiang Expressway). After going to Yibin, continue to go to Yunnan. After passing through Shuifu County in Yunnan Province (the location of the Grand Canyon in the west, the hot springs) is a pseudo-high speed of more than 80KM. After the walk, it will go to Zhaotong. Generally, it takes 6 from Chongqing to Zhaotong. Many hours. The next morning, I will take the 80KM Panshan Road from Zhaotong to Dashanbao, Zhuquan Road---Old Town----(All the way to ask)-----Dashanbao, this section is relatively narrow, sometimes I also have to encounter foggy weather. Generally, after going to Dashanbao Township, I will drive to the sea to see the black-necked crane. After reading it, I will return to Dashanbao Township for lunch. I will take another road to the Flea River after dinner. I will not let the car go here. Yes, you can walk 3KM to the Jigong Mountain Scenic Area, or you can ride a horse for 15 yuan one way. After enjoying the clouds in Jigong Mountain, you can return to Zhaotong. Back to Zhaotong is basically 7 or 8 o'clock in the evening.
