Mengbang Reservoir in Menghai County, the local people call Mengbang "Swan Lake", because the auspicious birds and swans that migrate south or return to the north often stop here to forage for food and supplement physical fitness.
I thought that the beauty of "Swan Lake" was nothing more than a beautiful scenery "processed" by prose lovers or writers.
As everyone knows, when you hug her closely, throw yourself into her arms, and stand next to the blue water, only to see the sky high and the clouds are light, the fish playing in the lake, the egrets flying from time to time, and the exquisite scenery of the birds singing in the dense forest by the lake, in an instant you will feel that your heart has been enchanted by her beauty, and your soul has long been captured...
No wonder the Dai family will put the legend of the place where the prince summoned Shutun and the seventh princess of the fairy, Ranona, to meet and settle in the "Swan Lake" of Mengbang.
In the sleepwalking mood, look up and look around, the mountains are lush, the canopy is shaded by the sun, the lake nearby is sparkling, and the shadows of the trees by the lake reflect the water, like a dream.
Looking up at the lake in the distance, what comes into view is the local people called "water hyacinth", a few water birds with the scientific name of XiaoYi, in the water you chase after me, one will float on the water, one will dive into the water, one will glide and take off, one will tread the water and land, and you will enjoy yourself.
Farther away, a small island in the lake appears from time to time in the morning mist, such as the heavenly palace que, such as the penglai in the world, adding a little mystery and a lot of aura.
On the edge of a small island in the lake, an erratic boat moves slowly on the water. Say it's a boat because it can float around on the water and walk freely. In fact, this is a small boat called "bamboo rake" by the Dai family on the lake, which is a very simple but practical water transportation.

As soon as the old wave came to the shore, I chatted with him.
"Bo Tao (Dai: Big Daddy), see the water in the reservoir is clean, drink a sip and a little sweet, why is this water so good?"
"There is a saying in our Dai family: 'Where there is forest, there is water, there is field, there is grain, and only when there is grain can there be Dai family'. You see there is water in the tree fields on the mountain, and if there is water, we can grow food. ”
As soon as the box was opened, he said excitedly: "You see, those beautiful houses that can be seen in the distance shaded by bamboo and trees are our villages, and our peasants' lives have changed greatly from the past, and every household has built a new type of Dai building." In the past, to do things in the county town, you had to walk out to wait for the bus on the side of the highway, plus the mountain road was not good, and it was very troublesome to turn around. Now to go to the city to run errands or to go to distant relatives' homes to play, almost all drive their own cars, when you want to go, when you want to go, it is much more convenient. ”
A phone rang, interrupting my pleasant small talk with Bo Tao.
"I didn't tell you, my son called me and asked me to come home for dinner. If you go to my house for lunch together, I will make Dai dishes for you to eat. ”
"Thank you Wave, when it comes to Songkran next year, we will definitely come to your house as a guest and feel your good life now."
"Okay, then it's decided."
Goodbye, "Swan Lake" charming lake and mountain color, my mind is a wonderland on earth. Goodbye, the rural people who have become rich under the guidance of the party's policy of enriching the people.
