The origin of the name

In the early Ming Dynasty, after Zhu Yuanzhang captured the Central Plains, he established the capital of Nanjing and ordered the general to invade the rest of the Liang king of the Yuan Dynasty who was stationed in Yunnan. The army returned triumphantly, leaving more than 10000 people stationed along the Maotiaohe River. Three of them were garrisoned and seven of them were garrisoned. Around the bottom of the lake, there were a number of garrisons and barracks. In fact, the Hongfeng Lake Reservoir area was developed as far back as the Han Dynasty. In 1958, the government built a power station here, excavated 19 Han tombs and unearthed more than 400 precious cultural relics. Hongfeng power station is one of the six power stations in Maotiaohe. Hongfeng Lake is a man-made lake formed after the completion of the dam.

When it was first built, it was unknown. Later, there were hundreds of maple trees on Taohuayuan mountain in the lake. Every golden autumn, maple leaves were red like flames, which made the lake red. So the artificial lake was named "Hongfeng Lake". There is another saying: at the beginning of the formation of Hongfeng Lake, someone looked down from the sky and found that the lake on the Karst Plateau was cut into a beautiful picture by the hills, just like a maple leaf falling on the earth, so it got its name.

Four scenic spots

Hongfeng Lake is divided into four areas: North Lake, South Lake, middle lake and back lake. Each of the four areas has its own characteristics: the island of North Lake, the cave of South Lake, the water of middle lake and the bay of back lake are called "four unique Hongfeng", which makes the water surface of Hongfeng Lake open but not monotonous, and the Bay narrow but not vulgar. Some new scenic spots, such as Dong village, Drum Tower, Fengyu bridge, Miao Diaojiaolou, and Buyi Village stone house, add a bit of beauty to the original beautiful Hongfeng Lake.

Nanhu Lake and Houhu lake are separated by a series of strange mountains, such as Luoji jade hairpin and Cuiping brocade. There is a natural passage under the Qifeng, called Xiadong, which can be used by light boats. Although Kuma sneaked in the cave, it was a new scene after he came out of the cave. It was a bit of "at that time, I only remember the deep mountains, and the Qingxi river went to Yunlin several times" (Wang Wei's poem "a journey to Taoyuan"), which made people not know whether the world was immortal.

The lake is deep and quiet, the water is blue, the air is fresh and free from dust. On the shore of the lake, the trees smoke cages, the wild flowers cover the land, the fences scatter, and the birds contend. Each bay is a unique landscape painting, some leisurely and tranquil, some full of vitality, some elegant and cool. If it's sunny, the lake is clear and bright, and the sky is brilliant with the sunset. Egrets perched on the island fly away looking for the sunset. It's really "sunset and lone ducks fly together, and autumn water is the same color in the sky"! Rainy days are more charming, close to the island and far away from the mountain, with different layers and distinct shades, just like a volume of elegant ink painting.

Hongfeng Lake is now rated as AAAA tourist area by the National Tourism Administration.
