Hidden on the green sea pearl of Yunnan Double Cypress is an intoxicating scenery called Chamu Lake. This lake named after the epic carries thousands of years of past events of the Yi people and emits slightly rippling ripples. As the field of vision widens, a mirror-like lake appears in front of you, with the breeze blowing and the waves shining. This is Chamu Lake, known as the "West Lake of Yizhou". 💦 There is hardly a square kilometer of flat land in Shuangbai. Perhaps, this land that has given birth to countless ethnic cultures does not need flat ground at all, because mountains are its skin and ravines are its blood. Flat ground will make it lose some of its persistent character. Chamu Lake seems to be hiding among the green mountains, green trees, clear water and blue sky, showing itself shyly. She is not ostentatious, not gorgeous, she only blooms in silence. However, she is not unknown. With the rejuvenation of Chamu Lake, she has already begun to emerge. With just a little embellishment, she can make the "six palace pink and white without color" unique among the mountains and green trees. Nowadays, tourists from all over the world come in an endless stream, just to lift her dreamlike veil and have a glimpse of her face. ✨ In the early morning, when the first ray of sunlight passes over the Ailao Mountains, the goddess has woken up and greets guests from far and near with her graceful appearance. The lake surface is sparkling, the blue water is rippling, and the reflections are dancing. The green trees on the lakeside are shady, the light and shadow are mottled, the water and the sky are the same color. This natural oil painting is a gift given to us by the goddess. No need to add color, no rendering, no need to sensationalize. You will naturally be intoxicated by it and indulge in her fresh breath. 🌞🌳💦🎨 If "West Lakeside" is a gift from immortals to Suzhou and Hangzhou, then "Chamu Lake" is undoubtedly a gift from God to the people of Shuangbai. It is not as beautiful as West Lake, but it is equally beautiful. There is no White Snake and Xu Xian passed down through the ages, but it is an ideal place for lovers to confide in their hearts and hold hands to spend romantic time. When the rainy season comes, the lake is covered with smoke and mist, looming. At this time, looking at the Huizhou-style buildings by the lake, with their cornices and tiled windows, it feels like you are in a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, which is enchanting. Who can say that on the banks of this beautiful Chamu Lake, those romantic poems that hold hands for a lifetime will not be written? 💑
