Recently, I took a self-driving tour of Yunnan with a few friends and revisited Haigeng Park in Kunming, Yunnan, and the scenery here is always surprising! A lake of turquoise jade and a vast pool of smoke rippled. It has both the beauty and charm of the lake and the atmosphere and mood of the sea. What is even more gratifying is that the red-billed gulls who migrated here from Siberia thousands of miles away feel more poetic and appropriate.
If you come to Haigeng Park in winter, you can also get up close and personal with red-billed gulls from as far away as Siberia. Red-billed gulls come to Haigeng in early November and leave in early March of the following year. This kind of scene of harmonious coexistence between man and nature abounds in Haigeng Park.
Kunming Haigeng Park was built in the early 1960s, located in the southern suburbs of Kunming City, the "Spring City" of Yunnan Province's "Spring City", the "Pearl of the Plateau", on the shore of Dianchi Lake, about 10 kilometers from the center of Kunming. It is about 2.5 kilometers long from east to west and about 200 meters wide from north to south, covering an area of 750 acres.
After the establishment of Kunming Dianchi Lake National Tourist Resort in 1992, under the care and attention of the resort management committee, a new type of park integrating tourism, leisure, entertainment and vacation, and promoting the historical, cultural and cultural landscape of Dianchi Lake is being presented in a new look on the laterite plateau and the shore of Dianchi Lake.
The natural Haigeng Park is a good place for people to relax and vacation. The Painting Pavilion, the Stone Boat, the Sea Viewing Promenade, the lush lawn, the gorgeous cherry blossom forest, the luxury yacht, the seaside leisure plaza, and the tens of millions of seagulls flying in winter and spring make people harmonious and romantic with nature.
There are golf courses, tennis courts and other projects under construction, neat and green, dynamic and static combination of natural environment. If you are immersed in the scene, you can make you full of fun, heart, beauty, and lingering. Haigeng Park welcomes friends from all over the world to come together and spend a warm and romantic holiday night together.
Haigeng Park is in the northeast of Dianchi Lake, haigeng is a long causeway in the lake that juts into Dianchi Lake, where the river port is long and the embankment is weeping willows. Looking out over the railing, sparkling, white sails, gulls chasing the waves. In the face of such a beautiful view, I would like to compare this pool of clear water to a beautiful woman, with a rich posture, feminine swaying, and soft eyes. That flow was calm and slow, and she was closer to the nature of life than to passion and unrestrained.
The origin of haigeng
Haigeng is 8 kilometers away from the city, as the name suggests, "Haigeng" is the Henghai Ridge, which was originally a wedge-shaped embankment inserted in dianchi Lake from east to west. From Haigeng Village in the east to the foot of the West Mountain in the west, with a total length of 5 kilometers and a width of 60 to 300 meters, it divides the Dianchi Lake of more than 300 square kilometers into two; the south is the vast Dianchi Lake, and the north is the "Sea of Grass".
The whole haigeng naturally forms four major scenic spots: the east is the national sports winter training base; the middle is the beach bath, the slope is gentle, and the beach is soft. To the west is a park area where you can enjoy water views and west mountain views, as well as fishing. The northern marshland is home to health and tourism. There are goldfish lakes, hundred gardens, large ethnic villages and several home-style resorts.
Haigeng was originally a long embankment inserted into Dianchi Lake from east to west, starting from the Jinjia River in the east and slowly extending to the west, ending in Dianchi Lake, which is one mile away from the foot of the West Mountain. The water echoes with scenic spots such as Xishan and Daguanlou, and becomes a seamless tourist area. The length of the embankment is about four and a half kilometers, and the width varies from 40 to 50 meters to 200 to 300 meters.
Do seagulls flying from Siberia to Haigeng Park carry "coronavirus"?
Every year from March to November is the most beautiful season in Kunming, tens of thousands of seagulls from distant Siberia across thousands of mountains and rivers to this beautiful city, inhabiting the beautiful waters of Dianchi Lake. It adds a beautiful "landscape" to Kunming. However, since the outbreak of the epidemic began last year, did these "elves" carry foreign "viruses" with the arrival of these "elves"? Still unknown. After playing in Haigeng Park, I took a local taxi, and I thought it was funny to hear what the driver said to me, but I still thought it made sense afterwards! "Stay away from these seagulls because they all flew from Russia and are carrying covid-19 on their bodies," he said. These are little elves who know that China is safe, so they flew over early to take refuge. "Is there a scientific basis for the driver's words?" Hope to get an answer.
Only when you go to Haigeng can you truly see the appearance of Sleeping Beauty Mountain
Looking at the West Mountain on the other side of Haigeng Park, the silhouette of "Sleeping Beauty" is clearly visible, lifelike, with a clear face, curves and graceful hair, and a magnificent picture with the sunset. The scenery of the four seasons is different, beautiful and harmonious. It is the best place to see the "Sleeping Beauty" of xishan mountain in the distance, and it can also feel the grandeur of the mighty Dianchi Lake, so it is a must-visit place for tourists from other places.
In the early days of reform and opening up, due to the rapid development of urban industry, the water quality of Dianchi Lake was destroyed. In recent years, the Kunming Municipal Government has invested a lot of manpower and material resources in the rectification of the water in Dianchi Lake, and has initially seen results. Look, this is a device to remove cyanobacteria from the water of Dianchi Lake.
The beautiful legend of Dianchi Lake
Legend has it that a long time ago, the Kunming area was a dry land. A handsome hunter's newlywed wife crossed thousands of mountains and rivers to the East China Sea in search of water. On the seashore, A goshawk was seen holding a small red fish, and the hunter swung a bow and arrow to shoot down the goshawk to save the little red fish. It turned out that the little red fish was the third princess of the East Sea Dragon King, and the three princesses envied the heroism of the hunter, and was originally married to the hunter. But the hunter missed his wife at home, and in the absence of the Dragon King, he broke free of the shackles, sucked a belly full of fresh water, and returned to Kunming. But his wife died of excessive thoughts and transformed into Sleeping Beauty Mountain. The hunter was very sad, spit out the water in his belly, crashed into the mountain and died, turning into Dianchi Lake.
Dianchi Lake, a thousand willow trees in the park, is a witness to the vicissitudes of Haigeng for 30 years
In spring, when the shy buds protrude from the soft willow branches, the earth is tender green, and the sky, the willows of the sky flutter with the wind, singing and dancing softly, forming a picture of spring.
Haigeng is the most stylish
The ancients called Dianchi Lake "sea", and now, the ten-mile long causeway is lined with trees, the speeding fast boat splashes the snow white waves, the blue sky, the deep blue sea, the turquoise grass, the fresh air, showing people what the sea has - seaside style. Here you can deeply feel what is "the sky is high and the clouds are light, and the sea is wide and the chest is wide".
Haigeng snacks and eight pieces of Dian pastries
Haigeng Park has a lot of vendors selling freshly, bamboo tube rice and eating rice, you can smell the aroma of grilled tofu from afar, be sure not to miss the local snacks.
Kunming-style pastries are carefully prepared using raw materials with local characteristics and using the traditional "two-sided fire" baking process. Each box contains eight pieces, there are eight varieties, eight flavors, so it is called "Eight Pieces of Dian". There are hard shell ham cakes, washed sand white pastry, crystal puff pastry, hemp seed puff pastry, rose puff pastry, Wu Ren crisp, chicken brown puff pastry, ham kohlrabi puff pastry. Unique flavor, beautifully packaged, and a great gift.
On the journey of life, encountering a landscape is extremely joyful, and it does not even require the crowd to watch and sing. Great views with
A pleasant mood is always encounterable and unattainable. Every time I go out and have free time, I like to be so aimless and casual
Go for a walk. A pool of green lotus, a quiet path, a hill of rice stubble, a leisurely cattle, for me, are all beautiful scenery.
Greeting the sunrise and sending the sunset at dusk, I always feel that everything is natural generosity and gifts
