Beauties In Our Country: Color Section -- Land Art Toning The World

Isn't the land astounding

when viewed from the sky?

The view is out of this world, and is rarely found on earth.

This is not the color of soil,

evidently it is the palette spilled by the immortal by accident,

which is left behind on earth and thus become such beautiful scenery. 

 

Let's take a look at how beautiful Dongchuan is!

It is recognized as the most powerful red land all over the world!

Dongchuan Red Land is considered by experts to be

the most powerful red land in the world,

in addition to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil,

and its view is more spectacular than the red land in Brazil. 

 

During summer harvest season of wheat,

except red and green color,

it also adds the blue sky and the bright yellow billowing wheat,

the view is most extensive and shocking at that time. 

 

 

Every minute the view you see will be different: 

one minute before it is brilliant and sun shinning,

and the whole scene is magnificent;

one minute later a piece of cloud you least expect comes,

blocking part of the light, the red land lighting,

presenting another picture. 

 

 

In autumn, colors become more vivid. 

From September to December, it is even bright. 

Until autumn in November,

scenes here become even more eye-catching.

The gentility sentimental of pea green is faded,

showing a magnificent golden and crimson. 

 

Each attraction has its own characteristics, and the scenery is changed at different time. The red land turns to be more beautiful after raining; it is faint in the morning, while the light and color is much better in the evening.

Beauties In Our Country, Rivers Section-- Ancient Village On The Cliff 

Baoshan Stone Town in Lijiang is introduced on CCTV for 4 minutes.

So let's take a look at how beautiful it is!

In a place about 140km away from Lijiang County, 

there is a place called Baoshan Stone Town,

which seems very much like a castle from a fairy tale.

Baoshan Stone Town is located in

the valley of the Jinsha River at 110 km north of Lijiang,

and it is named so because of hundreds of families living on a separate

mushroom-shaped stone. 

Baoshan Stone Town has been called "La Bo Lu Pan Wu" in Naxi language,

meaning "Bao Shan Bai Shi Village".

It is easy to see the harmonious building complexes and the intersecting alley-ways within the town.

As Lijiang Naxi people build houses by breaking the rock, and house stone pillars and stone eaves are made along the rock.

It is simple and natural, yet wonderful and spectacular.

Looked at Baoshan Stone Town with the "view of God",

it is utterly a huge rock

standing on the steep hillsides of Jinsha River canyon,

towering around powerfully, with rolling Jinsha River to the east,

the magnificent and precipitous Tai Zi Guan in the North,

the winding Yak Mountain on the west,

and rock and cliffs on the south. 

All three sides of Lijiang Baoshan Stone Town are steep precipices and cliffs,

one rock slope directly goes into the Jinsha River,

only two rock crosscuts are available to and from North and South.

It is really a city of natural barrier.
