Bigu Tianchi

Bigu Tianchi is called "Chu Zhang" in Tibetan, which means small lake. Because it is located in Bigu pasture, it is named Bigu Tianchi. Although the lake is not big or deep, it presents strange quietness and strange clearness. The clear water seems to be the pure soul of the colorful world of flowers and trees around it. Around Bigu Tianchi, there are not only vast primeval forests, green pastures, quiet cattle and sheep, but also the rhododendrons on the lakeside.

brief introduction

Shangri la tourist attractions - Bigu Tianchi. There is a lake with an area of 0.21 square kilometers in Bigu pasturing spot, Lianhe village, Xiaozhongdian Township, Shangri La County, 3500 meters above sea level. The average water depth of Bigu Tianchi, a tourist attraction in Shangri La, is only 1.62 meters, and the deepest is only about 3 meters. Although the lake is not big or deep, it is still and clear. The clear lake water of Shangri La tourist attraction - Bigu Tianchi seems to be the pure soul of the colorful world of flowers and trees around it. More than 30 square kilometers around Bigu Tianchi Lake, a tourist attraction in Shangri La, are covered by primeval forests, with tall and straight trees, mostly spruce and fir. The lush green forest is full of the vigorous vitality of nature, so in its arms, the scenic spot of Qingshui Shangri La, Bigu Tianchi Lake, is peaceful and quiet, far away from disturbance and never dry up. The forest envelops it and purifies it.

scenery

The rhododendrons in Shangri La are distributed in forests, most of which are yellow Rhododendron, white Rhododendron and red Rhododendron. In the blooming season, the flowers are blooming, and the lakeside becomes a beautiful wreath surrounded by the lake. The flowers are of different shapes and colors. The elegance and purity of white, the calmness of yellow without concealing the style of beauty, and the warmth and gorgeous of red are combined into the chorus of silent flowers. On the hillside a little far away from the lake, there are cherry azalea with an area of nearly 100 mu. This flower is not as graceful as the big flower beside the water. Instead, it grows with a very small trunk, forming the landscape of Shangri La flower sea.

winter

The Rhododendron is not always in full bloom in Shangri La, and the pasture is not always green. At the end of autumn and winter, snow begins to cover the holy Tianchi Lake. But the water covered with ice and snow is still clear, the trees are still green, the flowerless Shangri La Rhododendron trees and grass free pastures are decorated with snow, which makes them more charming. Bigu Tianchi is connected by Panshan Mu Road, which is about 30 km from the junction of g214 United Village. Four wheel drive vehicles can get to Tianchi directly. The road is bumpy and slow. It takes about 2 hours to get to Tianchi. There are many side crossings on the mountain road. It is suggested that the local villagers guide the way. Self driving from Shangri La County, you can go back and forth on the same day.

Travel

Bigu Tianchi is a paradise of sea flowers. The annual flowering season, that is, from May to August, is the most beautiful time of Bigu Tianchi, and also the best time to travel to Bigu Tianchi.

People who see flowers only feel that large areas of rich purple and red are drawing their eyes, but they can't tell which plant is which one. If you stroll among them, you will naturally be drunk with flowers.

There is an oval island in the center of Tianchi Lake, where rhododendrons grow into forests. Wild ducks in the lake and in the water and grass around the lake do not spread their calls and flying figures, quietly following the rules of Tianchi Lake.

Ecological damage events

From May to June 2004, the film "the promise" directed by Chen Kaige was filmed on location in Bigu Tianchi, Shangri La County, Yunnan Province. In order to build gravel roads, plank roads and "Haitang jingshe", the crew destroyed and occupied 500 square meters of alpine meadow and shrubbery. After the film was shot, the crew withdrew from Bigu Tianchi and entrusted the relevant local departments to clean up and demolish the site. However, due to various reasons, the cleaning work did not start until the end of April 2006 due to the intervention of environmental protection departments and media exposure. According to Xinhuanet, the arrival of the film "the promise" makes the beautiful Tianchi Lake look like a disaster of disfigurement. Not only are lunch boxes, wine bottles, plastic bags, raincoats and other garbage everywhere, but more than 100 piles have been driven in the Tianchi Lake. A mountain Rhododendron in the forbidden cutting area beside the Tianchi Lake has been flattened, and a simple road filled with sand and stone and a concrete steel frame monster has been built Standing by the lake, a dilapidated wooden bridge splits the Tianchi Lake in two.

When the beautiful Bigu Tianchi was destroyed, Chen Kaige, as a great director, left. Later, although the Publicity Department of Diqing State Party committee contacted the crew of Wuji for many times, in August 2005, the crew finally sent out an auction letter on Entrusting the disposal of the remaining articles of Wuji, entrusted the remaining matters of the film's setting to the Publicity Department of Diqing state, and entrusted the site cleaning, demolition and restoration work as well. However, according to Li aiming, Vice Minister of the local propaganda department, the recovery work has been unable to start due to the continuous snow pressure. No wonder the tourists who came to visit said angrily, "it's such a rubbish film as the promise that destroyed Shangri La. It's really chilling that Shangri La destroyed the cultural beauty in the name of making films.

It is said that similar incidents happened not only in Shangri La, but also in recent years, I have heard from time to time that some local cultural relics and nature reserves have been damaged by the film crew, but the degree and form of damage are different. Such as "Jingqing Shennongjia" and "Qingdian Dasheng" crew's destruction of Shennongjia's setting, the "Shendiao" crew's destruction of Jiuzhaigou's shooting, and the "myth" crew's potential destruction of terracotta warriors and horses.

The State Environmental Protection Administration pointed out that the crew of "Wuji" did not report to the local environmental protection department when they entered the Bigu Tianchi Lake, and the shooting activities caused a certain degree of damage to the local natural ecology. The roads and houses built by the crew belong to the construction projects, and the environmental impact assessment should be carried out in accordance with the relevant national laws. With the intervention of the State Environmental Protection Administration and other relevant departments, Yunnan Environmental Protection Bureau punished the crew in accordance with the law and restored the ecological vegetation of the shooting site within a time limit. However, it is difficult to remove the 100 meter long gravel road. The 500 square meter meadow, rhododendrons and other vegetation damaged by the construction are difficult to recover for a while, mainly because the rhododendrons in the place where the plank road was built were damaged. When the "Haitang jingshe" project was built by the limitless crew, it did cause some damage to the scenic spot, which will take three to five years to recover. However, seeing the scenery in front of us, I don't know how much time it will take The beautiful scenery of Bigu Tianchi can only be reappeared in 20 years. We can only imagine the charm of Bigu Tianchi from another angle.
