Yunnan is a moutainous province ,so ,When thinking about travelling in Yunnan Province, high mountains and beautiful valleys may be the first things that come into a tourist's mind. But there's more than spectacular mountain scenery in Yunnan - there's also a spot that is as pretty as any to be found in East China's provinces.The name Puzhehei, in the dialect of the Yi Nationality, literally means: " a Lake Abundant in Fish and Shrimps".sounds amazing ,right? But, does the place really live up to its name? Let’s go and take a closer look, check it out.Here ,standing on the dock, we can see the crystal clear water and strange-looking hills right before us,actually, there are more than 300 mountain peaks scattered in the scenic region, some low, some high, some thin, some fat, some close, some far, all stand compactly and dot amidst the lake water.P is a basin scenic area , puzhehei scenic area covers an area of 165 square kilometers, consisting of 3 parts ---- puzhehei chongtou and wenliu. Altogether there are about 109 scenic spots in these areas. amaong them,P is the major and well developed part, boasting of beautiful Karst landforms, lakes and the unique cultures of the Zhuang, Miao, Yi and Bai ethnic groups which are living a peaceful live there In the area .Popular Chinese saying states that, topography of Guilin in Guangxi Province“tops the china in landscape”, and Puzhehei is hailed as south Yunnan's answer for Guilin,or rather, a miniature of Gui lin because its mountains and lake water look so similar to and perhaps are even more beautiful than those in Guilin. Chinese believed that “moutains come alive when there are rivers for company”and that ”rivers gain in beauty when flowing around montains ” therefore, artists, scholars and painters all retreated to this "Venice of the East" to seek inspiration and to relax.A visit to puzhehei would not be complete without a boat excersion on the river, but something unusual is about the boat, to protect the environment, power boats are not allowed on the lake so the boat we are taking is rowed by local people. the traditional canoe is no more than 3-feet wide, merely spacious for 5 people, it is narrow and it sails fast in the water.As you cruise on the zigzagging waterway, you may notice that the water in these lakes is actually mobile. It is a fact that there is a lake group here, about 56 lakes, and 16 of them connected, the major water route is about 21 kilometers long, consisting of three lakes connecting to each ly the Luoshuidong Lake, Puzhehei Lake and Xianren Lake.All the lakes here are fed by underground water. as the saying goes, "running water is never stale," which explains why these lakes are so clear.and the water make the lake free from pollution,Because the water is pollution-free, the fish and shrimps have a more delicious taste than those available in other places in china .July to August is the best time to admire the most beautiful country landscape of Puz hehei, because the lotus blossoms are in their best.Cruising the lakes of Puzhehei is a very relaxing experience. As the canoe sails forward, you will feel that we are cruising in a painting , around us, the weeping willows on the river banks are shading the river, fish and shrimps are swimming in the water. Lotus flowers send forth their delicate fragrance, local Sani people picking lotus seeds and lake seaweed. You can take your time sit here,thinking of anything ,thinking of nothing, a way to kill time.Besides the water, the karst caves are another attraction in Pzh, There are about 100 karst caves in this region, most with two floors--a higher dry cave and a lower wet cave, inthe cave,there is a spacious hall with stalactites ,stalagmite. Among the caves , the cave of immortal is most legendary, it is about the story of the local sani people’s ancestors,A liang and fairy of lotus flower were regarded as the ancestors of sani people in PZH, the cave they lived in was named “the cave of the immortal”.the village and the lake nearby were also named after them.Sani people is a branch of Yi ethnic group, Sani People call themselves “Ni”, meaning happy people, As a part of Yi, Sani People enjoy some common cultural features such as similar character, religion with the other branches of Yi. But they have their own features in costumes and buildings and customs.Among the customs, the blacken face ,To the Yi people in Qiubei County,the blacken-Face Festival is quite unique, it is an occasion for the worship of fire and to offer sacrifices to the mountain gods. On that occasion, young women and girls will mix soot with lard, and try to put them on other’s faces, the more the better, some young men and girls take that occasion to choose their loved ones and express their love to each other, however, the ceremony today not restrain strictly to that tradition, it is also held as a special welcoming ceremony for tourists.。
