Original Title: The Source of Erhai Lake: Twelve Hours

Located at the source of Erhai Lake in Dali, Yunnan Province, Yibi Lake has a season of life and poetry. Twelve hours is the rhythm of poetry and the movement of green mountains and green waters.

At midnight (23:00-01:00), the wind was calm, and the sky over the blue lake was filled with stars, which turned into star tracks.

Ugly time (01:00-03:00), the mountains and rivers are interdependent, the moonlight is falling, and the bright Milky Way rises from the lake.

At Yinshi (03:00-05:00), the water and sky are shining, the Milky Way stretches across the sky, and sometimes there are meteors across the night sky, which is romantic and beautiful.

At the prime time (05:00-07:00), the sun rises in the east, and the colorful auspicious clouds meet unexpectedly, opening a new day in a beautiful way.

In the morning (07:00-09:00), small boats and light boats were rippling, and environmental protection personnel were picking up water and grass to play the overture of the lake.

At the end of the day (09:00-11:00), the water of the lake is clear. Boating on the lake, you can taste the artistic conception of the ancient poet, "Who knows the thousand scenic spots of the Erhe River? The source is more clear here".

At noon (11:00-13:00), take the yacht all the way north to the center of the lake. The water drops gush out from the bottom of the lake and enjoy the wonders of "water flower trees".

At the end of the day (13:00-15:00), green mountains and green waters have been patrolling and protecting. Since 2023, the whole lake has been closed to fishing and a clear water has been protected into Erhai Lake.

Shenshi (15:00-17:00), the rippling blue waves, a tree of cormorants dancing and singing, this is the paradise of life, poetic home.

At Youshi (17:00-19:00), the sunset was like fire, and the colors were flowing gold. The Caohai Wetland on the bank of the Yubi Lake is a place where people can enjoy the herons and lotus in their paintings, and people and nature coexist in harmony.

At the end of 1890 (19:00-21:00), when the sun was setting and water and sky were dancing together, a flowing ecological scroll slowly unfolded.

At the height of the sea (21:00-23:00), the lake is sparkling when the moon rises on the mountain. The sun and the moon alternate, and the time is waiting for you gently, playing the harmonious resonance of "mountains, rivers, forests, fields and lakes".
