Aquatic grassland

In the northwest of Tengchong County, 12.5km away from the city, there is a special wetland, which belongs to the plateau volcanic barrier lake ecosystem.

It turns out that people and scenery also need fate. Casual chat, you can achieve a beautiful encounter. It's really strange here. The water plants are dense, and the roots crisscross together. Day after day, year after year, the old grass decays, the new grows on the decaying grass roots, and then decays, and then grows new, and finally forms whole patches of meadows, floating on the water, just like small grass islands, which are usually more than one meter thick. Taking off shoes and walking barefoot on "Grass Island" feels like stepping on a sponge.

The local people often use a small grass row cut at will as a bamboo raft to fish shrimp; some people just open a hole in the grass row and put the fishing rod into the hole to fish, which is very enjoyable.

It is said that it is the most beautiful in the middle and late April of every year. At that time, Beihai orchids are in full bloom. In autumn, the color of the grass is a little yellow, but it still makes me excited. The air is filled with the fragrance of grass leaves, the wild ducks whine from time to time in the reeds, and the pleasantly surprised cries of tourists trampling on the grass rafts on the lake. Boating on the lake is like being on the prairie. But this "prairie" is floating on the water.
