Characteristics of Caoshan

Caoshan is a subalpine meadow with flat terrain and vast expanse, covering an area of 180000 mu. It has always been famous for its beautiful scenery such as grass, flowers, clouds, fog, snow, light, water and peaks, known as "Oriental New Zealand". In the Tang Dynasty, the Nanzhao king was granted the title of "five mountains and four desecrations" in Yunnan, and was granted the title of "Dongyue".

From the mountain road winding up to the top, the sea grass mountain will show in front of people. The meadow is flat,

The mountains are rolling, broad and broad, broad and gentle, vast and deep, empty and full of vitality.

Meadows, flowers, streams, blue sky, white clouds, sheep, constitute a beautiful and charming picture. The stream is like a belt, the spring water is clear, the grass is green, and the mountain flowers are brilliant, forming a huge "colorful Grassland". Under the background of blue sky, white clouds and little sheep, it is more and more clear, quiet, elegant and clean. Sitting quietly beside the stream, the white clouds pass by, and the mountain breeze blows slowly, caressing the cheek, as if into a fairyland.

Guniuzhai peak, the highest peak of Dahai Caoshan mountain, is 4017 meters above sea level. It soars to the sky and dominates the world. According to Dongchuan Fu Zhi, "Chonggang Jue mountain is more than 30 Li high. Dangerous peaks stand and are often covered with clouds. When it is sunny, it is green and can be seen in four or five hundred li of central Yunnan."

Caoshan's Yiyun is full of strange and ever-changing things; Caoshan's Buddha light is mysterious and profound, gorgeous and fantastic; Caoshan's rime is covered with jade and pearls, and Yao and Qiong are everywhere.

As a result, people say that the sea and Grass Mountain are fairyland on the clouds, fairy tale world and photographer's paradise.

Main attractions

Guniu Village

The peak of guniuzhai in the southeast corner of Caoshan mountain, 4017.3 meters above sea level, is the main peak of Wumeng Mountain in Northeast Yunnan. The mountain peak is steep in the South and gentle in the north. After years of rain and snow, it is often covered by clouds. It looks like Guniu playing in the sea of clouds, so it gets its name. Guniu village is also known as jiangyunlong mountain.

It is said that in 787 ad, Yimou Xun, who was then the king of Nanzhao, imitated the practice of Fengchan's Five Sacred Mountains in the Central Plains, and granted the five sacred mountains and four sacred places in his territory. In the east of the territory, Dahai Caoshan was named Dongyue jiangyunlong mountain. Guniu village is also called "Fu Zai Shan" The mountain ranges over 30 Li high, and the dangerous peaks are often covered with clouds. Every day, the sun is clear and green, which can be seen in four or five hundred li of central Yunnan "(Dongchuan Fu Zhi). Guniu village also witnessed a little-known history.

At the beginning of 1942, Rangoon, Myanmar was occupied, and China's sea and land access to the outside world was completely interrupted. In order to ensure the delivery of war materials, the Flying Tigers of general Chennault of the United States opened up the famous "Hump route" and the only main route in China from Kunming to Huize to Chongqing to deliver urgently needed military materials to the rear area of Chongqing. Since then, until 1970, Kunming Huize Chongqing route has been one of the main routes of Air China in Northeast Yunnan. The route of hump flying is like a forest of high peaks. The altitude is close to the altitude limit of aircraft climbing at that time, and the mountains along the way are often shrouded by clouds, so the flight is very dangerous, and many pilots have sacrificed their precious lives for it.

Among them, the large transport plane c-46-4717, which crashed in guniuzhai on March 24, 1944, is one of the 20 planes in the Northeast Yunnan crash of the "Flying Tigers" air transport corps that has not yet found the exact location of the crash. For a long time, this period of history has been hidden in the mysterious Guniu village.

Sea Grass Mountain

Dahai Caoshan is famous for its grass. The huge 200000 Mu is a sea of grass rising from the top of the mountain? Or mountains of grass? In the south, spring in Caoshan is slower. In the middle of spring, the grass all over the mountain began to sprout. From a distance, the pale grass green replaced the withered yellow blocking the heart. However, when approaching, the grass green was hidden in the withered yellow.

At this time, it is easy to understand the "grass far see near but no". It didn't take a few days for the green grass to be spread into the undulating grass carpet that seemed to be wrinkled by the wind. The colorful mountain flowers were embroidered among them, and the gurgling streams turned and turned, making Yunnan's two "colorful grass blankets" as famous as Shangri La meadow.

Spring and stream

Haihaicao mountain is located in the monsoon region of the Indian Ocean, with low latitude, mild climate, abundant rainfall and spring streams everywhere. No matter which ridge or gully you go into, if you don't pay attention, you will stir up the water hidden in the lush grass. At a glance, the mountain springs converge into a pool of stagnant water, and the pools of stagnant water connect into streams. They flow freely between the grass mountains, zigzag and snaking, and sometimes have the illusion of water flowing to a higher place. Even at the peak of guniuzhai, which is 4017.3 meters above sea level, there is a pond of water two square meters wide and three or four inches deep, which is in line with the old saying: "how high the mountain is, how high the water is.". The magic thing about this pool is that it always keeps a certain amount of water. There is no decrease in the dry season and no increase in the rainy season. The amount of water that cattle and sheep eat oozes out will not go down or overflow, and it will remain the same during the once-in-a-hundred-year drought.

Buddha light

Buddha light is the most mysterious scenery of Caoshan. When the sky is clear and the sun is rising, the Buddha light will appear. It is said that in the hinterland of Guniu stronghold, there is an eminent monk who practices and becomes a Buddha. Every time he meets a chance, he will emit the light of the Buddha. Where the light of the Buddha shines, the mountains and rocks turn into gold. The Grass Mountain in spring and summer is the world of grass and the sea of flowers. All kinds of mountain flowers bloomed all over the Grass Mountain almost overnight, making the original green carpet colorful.

Among the dozens of mountain flower families in Caoshan, the Rhododendron at the foot of guniuzhai mountain is the most magnificent. It covers an area of 50000 mu, with yellow, red and white flowers blooming in the whole summer. Those who are autistic, melancholy and pessimistic just need to go in and keep it gorgeous! Different from the flamboyant Rhododendron, the girl flowers in every corner of the Grass Mountain blossom and fall with restraint and care. Girl flower is the name of local mountain people, but its name is unknown. The flower is only the size of soybean, blue, five petals, to its light ha breath, even called three "girl girl hide", trumpet shaped flowers will be like Mimosa like heat, close into buds, "Girl Flower" hence the name. Girl flower is so inconspicuous that few people notice its existence except those who are familiar with it and have a special liking for it. However, it is never ashamed of its own small size. "Moss flower is like a grain of rice, and it also blooms like peony"; it is also like Yougu Zhilan, which is still blooming and fragrant.

Colorful clouds in the South

In the south, colorful clouds are flying everywhere. Yunnan is the hometown of colorful clouds, and the sea, grass and mountains, flying clouds and fog are the songs of the four seasons. In the spring breeze, the song's irrepressible vitality is slow and urgent; in summer, every note of the song is soaked with wet rain, and it drips into the water with a light grip; in the season when it should be mature, it is weird and unpredictable forever. From time to time, it is as ethereal and beautiful as the ink scroll painted on plain silk with exquisite ink method and detached style.

All of a sudden, it flew across the mountain, and in a twinkling of an eye, there was a rainbow in the sky, ethereal and reaching pure beauty. In winter, it became deep and heavy. It's hard to find a clear boundary between the cloud and fog in Caoshan. The fog comes out of the gully and rises around the mountain, but the bottom of the cloud is on the top of the head! "White clouds look back together, green haze into see nothing.". Only when we get to the sea and Caoshan can we realize the artistic conception of Wang Wei's poem.

snow

There is almost no boundary between autumn and winter in Caoshan. Snow often comes suddenly. With the snow, the wind and the Dragon sing, sweeping the snow in the low-lying leeward place, one by one, against the yellow grass, the white is whiter, the yellow is more yellow, especially in the unexpected setting sun, the strong red, the color is more mysterious and rich, the lines are more flexible.

After three or five snows, the continuous Caoshan mountain is tightly wrapped up. As far as you can see, it is full of silver, winding and reckless, just like the scenery of northern China. Especially when the snow is flying, the sky is pulled lower and the ground is raised higher, and the sky and the earth are the same. The snow in the low-lying shady place forms a hard layer of ice on the surface and stays until the next spring, just like the silver belt scattered in the world, hanging between heaven and earth at will, with clear and dazzling layers.

limestone cave

There are two caves in Caoshan, both of which are karst caves with various kinds of lava. One is a small stone cave, with six openings connected in series. The narrow part is hard to bear by itself, and the wide part can contain more than 1000 sheep, with a depth of more than 10 kilometers, which leads directly to Jinzhong Bazi qingshuinian. The second is the Swallow Cave, which is located on the cliff of guniuzhai. From March to September every year, thousands of swiftlets gather in the cave. When they come out of the nest, it looks like smoke, and when they come back at night, it looks like clouds.

The aborigines of Dahai Caoshan are the Yi people. The word "Dahai" comes from a slip of the tongue in the Yi transliteration of "daqibai", meaning "Dahai"
