Mining in Bolivia Lithium rush in the Andes

As of: 06/20/2021 4:40 p.m.

The largest lithium deposits on earth are believed to be under the Uyuni salt lake in Bolivia. The planned dismantling of the metal, which is important for batteries, raises hopes, but is controversial because of the high water consumption.

It lies dazzling white between the majestic peaks of the Bolivian Andes, an area nine times the size of Berlin: the Uyuni salt lake. Hidden underneath is a treasure: white gold, lithium, or as Panfilo Huayllas, Mayor of Rio Grande says: “our future”. He demands: “All communities around the salt lake and all Bolivians must benefit from the lithium that is under this salt crust.

Lithium, the lightest metal on earth, is required for lithium-ion batteries. They are not only found in cell phones and laptops, but also in electric cars. Without lithium there is no e-mobility – and nowhere in the world are more reserves believed than here, on the roof of the Andes.

Bolivia doesn’t just want to be a supplier of raw materials

But Bolivia wants to be more than just a supplier of raw materials. “We local residents have to share in the profits, because we will feel the effects of lithium industrialization here in Rio Grande,” says Mayor Huayllas.

Lithium is said to be a driver for Bolivia’s industrialization. The plan is to build the batteries yourself. Ex-President Evo Morales was once looking for partners for this project – and found them in a German medium-sized company: ACISA from Zimmer ob Rottweil on the edge of the Black Forest. It was a deal of the century. But it burst in 2019 , after the election overshadowed by allegations of fraud and Morales’ flight into exile. Since then, the German-Bolivian project has been on hold.

Not everyone is enthusiastic about it anyway. Luis Machaca is the spokesman for a citizens’ initiative that opposes the project. “The Germans wanted to mine our raw material behind our backs, with a contract for 70 years,” he says. “They may be a good partner, but they have neither the technical means nor the technology.”

Lithium mining uses up a lot of precious water

What does mining mean for people, but also for the sensitive ecosystem? It is about the most precious commodity on the roof of the Andes: water.

A look across the border into the Atacama Desert to Chile: SQM has been mining lithium there for 25 years. The brine is pumped up from 40 meters, then evaporates in basins over months until a lithium-containing slag remains. It is a very water-intensive process, of all places in one of the driest regions in the world, says the Chilean biologist Cristina Dorador. “We can see from satellite images over the past 20 years that the soil has lost moisture,” she says. At the same time, the ground is heating up and the vegetation is receding. “These changes are directly related to lithium production over the past 20 years.”

Water protection should be improved

The company promises to make mining more sustainable. In Chile’s new constitution, on which the biologist Dorador will also be co-writing, environmental and water protection should be a top priority. Local residents like Cristian Toroca remain skeptical. “The company had not previously intended to involve local residents, that bothers us about this group,” he says. “They’re pulling this mineral out of the ground to sell in Europe as a clean product, but that’s a lie.”

In Bolivia it is still unclear who will be awarded the contract: the Germans are competing with Chinese and US companies. Panfilo Huayllas continues to hope that the white gold will bring prosperity to his community. But he too says: not at any price. “Alternative ways of supplying lithium production with water in the future must be found. If they only tap our wells, we will ruin the future of our children.”

Following the social network during the epidemic, I suddenly saw that my friends shared more pictures of camping and family picnics. Quiet, not crowded but still experience and rest with familiar people. Camping is not a new form of tourism, but perhaps now “on the throne” when tourism activities are limited, everyone is self-aware of distance to prevent epidemics. And camping is one of the best ways for people to relax and enjoy nature; in parallel with compliance with regulations on prevention and control of the Covid-19 epidemic. Camping is a great way to enjoy unspoiled nature. Has anyone told you that our country has countless beautiful places to camp? Try spending a weekend to experience it. I like the mountain roads leading to the Dong Cao steppe (Bac Giang), where I can zoom out to see the majestic mountain scenery, love the feeling of freedom in the middle of Dong Lam valley (Lang Son province). ), where there are green grass and green river. Who doesn’t like to hear the waves crashing right next to their ears on a camping night in Tuy Hoa (Phu Yen), or open their eyes to see a sea of ​​white clouds in Da Lat (Lam Dong)… Fresh air, wide mind The openness, the ultimate sense of freedom and the slow pace of life when truly immersed in nature can be “addictive” to anyone. The beautiful sea of ​​clouds view from the campsite in Dong Cao (Bac Giang). Going camping is not boring because outdoor activities are extremely diverse. Hiking in the forest, fishing, yoga, cycling around the lake, kayaking, SUP board on the river or in the sea, … all consume a lot of energy and require basic skills. But sometimes, visitors just need to be spoiled for water in the cool water, “foot massage” with pebbles in the stream bed, walk together on the lawn, watch the sun set in a sunset. .. is enough. For families with young children, camping becomes even more interesting. Away from TV screens, phones, children will be free to explore, have new lessons about the natural world around in the most realistic way. I love that the whole family comes together to prepare food for a barbecue, which can be incomplete but is always delicious. By the flickering campfire, everyone told stories together, playing guitar under the starry sky. Affection, family cohesion, friends are also a benefit that camping brings. Sharing moments together makes camping more memorable. Safe, environmentally friendly With self-sufficient tourism such as camping, safety is always a top priority. In addition to fully and thoughtfully preparing furniture, tools and costumes; Everyone must always consider and choose a suitable camping site for the weather, time and participants. Regarding the location, the experience to remember is to avoid areas with difficult terrain, or rain at night, high winds or too far from residential areas, without phone signal. First aid items and some simple medicine should always be on hand. The dishes when camping are not picky, do not require a chef’s talent, but always have to be hygienic, fresh and attractive. The picnic meal is simple but still very attractive. For me, it only takes the most basic tools and a car to get to the camping site not too far from home, but there are many people who like a thoughtful camping trip. Pickup trucks, minivans like a mobile home with full of handy camping gear are becoming more and more popular with Vietnamese families. But if you are inexperienced and shy of places that are too wild, there are many tourist campsites with relatively convenient services. From Hanoi, there are many places that campers whisper to each other and quickly become familiar such as Ban Rom tourist area Soc Son, Dong Mo, Dong Do lake, Son Tinh Camp… Not far from the city center In Ho Chi Minh City, besides Tri An lake, Chua Chan mountain, Ba Den mountain, there are also many campsites in Ba Ria – Vung Tau, Dong Nai, Binh Thuan open to serve tourists. Besides, grasping this trend, many travel agencies have also opened tours with suitable services for families, groups of friends, even “glamping” (glamorous + camping – style camping style. luxury and comfort). Natural places that are not too far from home or are not famous can become camping spots, limiting contact with crowds. “Take nothing but photos, leave nothing but footprints”, camping requires each of us to be more conscious in protecting the environment, collecting waste and minimizing the impact on the environment. surrounding nature. There have been “camping without leaving garbage” movements called for and responded by many camping lovers, spreading beautiful actions. And of course, camping, like any other activity, needs to comply with epidemic prevention regulations, so that the trip is a good memory when you return home.

Largest Lake Windermere in England The romantic wedding photography session turns tragic when the precious diamond engagement ring unfortunately falls into the lake. Lucky for the couple Rebecca Chaukria and Viki Patel found a ‘gentleman’ right before the official wedding ceremony. Angus Hosking, a free diver, received a wedding invitation after finding an engagement ring that fell from a woman’s hand at the bottom of Britain’s largest lake. Rebecca Chaukria, the girl who lost her engagement ring, said the special gift fell from her hand while taking wedding photos on a breakwater at Lake Windermere, the largest natural lake in the UK. Viki Patel, her fiance, said that despite his best efforts, he could not see through the water to find a ring for Rebecca Chaukria. The couple returned to the hotel and contacted freediver Angus Hosking. This man quickly ran to and dived into the lake in search of a white gold ring with diamonds. Hosking used an underwater metal detector to search for the ring and within 20 minutes, after a few false detections, he brought the ring ashore and returned it to the couple. Viki Patel described the freelancer as an ‘excellent guy’, and when Angus Hosking returned to shore, the couple repeatedly thanked him. Angus Hosking is a volunteer with the Lake District diving center in Windermere. Previously, he helped clean up the lake, find and return items such as phones, rings, cameras and other valuables to tourists.

Photo: Thinh Gia Pham Seen from above, the lake looks like clouds flying over Chop Chai mountain. When walking around the lake, you will find countless beautiful photo angles. The highlight of this project is the bridge across the lake, which is also one of the background The most expensive photography. Photo: Phuong Quynh If you are not interested in taking pictures but just want to find a place to go for a walk to watch the sunset, the lakeside location is the most ideal place. Because here, the roads are built in a winding style combining the pillars sitting along the lake to create a poetic and romantic beauty just like Korean movies. “Entering the Ho Son air-conditioned lake is completely free of charge, but also free to live virtual. The ideal time is from 7:00 am to 8:30 am because at this time the weather is still cool and quite empty, suitable for photography. If you love the sunset, you can come here in the afternoon from 16:30, it’s still sunny at this time, but surely the set of photos will be born with the sunset light.” Phuong Quynh’s friend shared. Photo: pttsang28 On a free weekend afternoon, if you don’t know where to go in Phu Yen, let’s go with your close friends to go to the lake to go for a walk, admire the scenery and take some pictures together. check-in be here!

1. Which river is the hottest in the world? Icon Boiling River Icon Congo River Icon Nile River The correct answer is answer A: According to the Telegraph, the Boiling River, located deep in the Amazon rainforest, is the hottest river in the world. Locals call the river “Shanay-timpishka”, which means “boiling with the heat of the Sun”. The Boiling River is about 25 m wide and 6 m deep but only extends for about 6.4 km. The river water temperature always fluctuates from 50 to 90 degrees Celsius, sometimes up to 100 degrees, enough to cause anyone who touches it even for a few seconds to get 3rd degree burns. 2. In which country is the Boiling River located? Icon Colombia Icon Peru Icon Ecuador The correct answer is answer B: Peru, officially the Republic of Peru, is located in South America, bordered to the north by Ecuador and Colombia, to the east by Brazil, to the southeast by Bolivia, to the south by Chile and to the west by Peru. is the Pacific Ocean. The national area is about 1,285,000 square kilometers, the population is more than 32.6 million, the capital is Lima. In 2011, scientist Andrés Ruzo witnessed this river with his own eyes. Mirror reports that Mr. Ruzo has heard from him about Shanay-timpishka since he was 12 years old. According to what is said, the river was discovered by the Spaniards when they were deep in the forest looking for gold. Some of the people on the way back said that this land was dangerous, filled with poisonous water, man-eating snakes, hunger and thirst, disease, a river boiling from the bottom. He was later told by his aunt that he had seen the river. Originally studying for a PhD in geology at Southern Methodist University, Ruzo was really curious about this river. He consulted with colleagues at school, oil, gas and mining companies, all suggesting that the river is not real because the boiling rivers and lakes in the world often have a relationship with volcanoes. While the Amazon has almost no sign of any volcanoes. Despite all the disproved theories, Ruzo still decided to go deep into the forest and track down the location of the river that had cured the Ashaninka people in Mayantuyacu. The boiling river seemed to be out of the world, but Ruzo discovered it. He wrote a book about this river in 2016 called The Boiling River, Adventure and Discovery in the Amazon (roughly translated as Boiling River, adventure and discovery in the Amazon jungle) in the hope that the book will draw public attention to the real natural wonder and care to protect it against the growing threat from illegal logging. 3. Where is the hottest place on Earth with the temperature like walking on a baking pan? Icon Dasht-e Lut . Desert Icon Sahara Desert Icon Kalahari Desert The correct answer is answer A: According to Oddity Central (UK), the Dasht-e Lut desert, Persian for “empty plain”, is a large salt desert. Scientists believe that this desert region known as the “fire pan” of the Earth was formed on the seabed. Millions of years ago, the tectonic change of the sea floor rose, the water also gradually evaporated due to the increased temperature. Today, Dasht-e Lut becomes a barren land with an area of ​​​​about 51,800 km, surrounded by mountains on all sides. This prevented moist air from the Mediterranean and Arabian Seas from entering the desert, contributing to the record-breaking temperatures. The medium-resolution imaging spectrometer installed on NASA’s Aqua satellite conducted global surveys between 2003 and 2010. Collected data Data collected shows that the highest temperature ever recorded in Dasht-e Lut was 70.7 degrees Celsius in 2005. According to satellite data, this Iranian desert has the highest annual temperature in 5-7. 4. Which of the following lakes boil all year round? Icon Lake in the island of Dominica, Caribbean Icon Lake Kivu, Rwanda, Africa Icon Lake Karachay, Russia The correct answer is answer A: This is a boiling lake, located in the national park of the island of Dominica, Caribbean. This lake is 61m wide, 59m deep, the water is grayish blue. The temperature at the edge of this lake reaches about 82-92 degrees Celsius, the lake surface is often covered with a layer of white mist. Many people are curious why this lake is boiling all year round. The reason is that at the bottom of the lake there is a fountain, it can spray out many different gases such as carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide… These gases can create bubbles up to 2-3m high, looks like the lake is boiling. In fact, the most terrible thing about this lake is not the temperature but the toxic gas. The plants and animals around the lake were greatly affected. Most of the factories have gone bankrupt and the surrounding area is uninhabited. 5. Which of the following lakes is likened to an “invisible killer lake”? Icon Lake Kivu, Rwanda, Africa Icon Blue Lagoon, Iceland Icon Lake Karachay, Russia The correct answer is answer C: This lake looks beautiful from afar, but there isn’t any living creature inside. The lake looks very peaceful, quiet, looks like an ordinary lake, even more beautiful when the water is very clear, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds on the lake surface. The lake is only beautiful when viewed from a distance because the lake is full of poison underneath. If you stand near the lake for 1 hour, people will die of poisoning. Therefore, this lake is also known as “the invisible killer lake”. 6. Where is the hottest place on earth where human life exists? Icon Dallol Icon Valley of Death Icon Death Valley The correct answer is A: Dallol is the hottest place on earth, but still inhabited by the Afar people, a nomadic tribe living in portable huts. Dallol is located in the Danakil Desert Basin, a remote area in northern Ethiopia, bordering Eritrea. This is a very remote and least explored place in the world. In addition to the heat from the sun, Dallol is also subjected to heat from hot sulfur and lava lakes, making the average annual temperature here always at 34.4 degrees Celsius. 7. Where is the hottest surface temperature on Earth? Icon Dead valley Icon Lut Desert The correct answer is answer B: New research into the highest surface temperatures on Earth reveals that the Lut Desert in Iran and the Sonoran Desert in North America are hotter than Death Valley in the US. The Lut Desert holds the top spot for the world’s highest ground temperature. From 2002 to 2019, this sandy area regularly hit the highest temperature threshold, likely due to its location among the mountains, causing hot air to be trapped above the dunes, especially in areas including covered with black volcanic rock. The new findings are in line with research published in 2011 that concluded the Lut desert is one of the hottest spots on Earth. From 2004 to 2007 and 2009, the Lut Desert experienced the highest surface temperature on the planet. In 2005, preliminary data showed that the area had a temperature of up to 70.7 degrees Celsius, although the new study authors say the estimate is likely to be lower than reality. From that initial analysis, NASA announced a new version of satellite software, allowing for more accurate determination of the ground temperature on Earth. Using the updated version, the researchers were able to conclude that the temperature in the Lut Desert was in fact 10 degrees higher than previously thought. The Sonoran Desert, which lies on the border between the United States and Mexico, is similarly hot, although not as hot as the Lut desert often. The desert’s low altitude means the air is less likely to rise and cool. Result Please work harder! point

This land is large with winding white sand dunes interspersed with turquoise rainwater lagoons. Lencois Maranhenses has an area of ​​about 1,500 square kilometers, made up of many large, deep white sand dunes. So at first glance, it looks like a desert. (Photo: Whenoneearth) Because it is located just outside the Amazon basin, this area often receives huge rainfall around the beginning of the year. Rain created a unique scene. Because of the low, flat terrain, when the rainy season lasts, clean water gathers in the valleys between the dunes, and at the same time, a layer of anti-permeation rock under the sand prevents water from seeping into the ground. As a result, blue lagoons between the fine white sand dunes were formed. Because of that uniqueness, this place is often called “the flooded desert”. (Photo: @flymaniacs) The many types of fish that can thrive in freshwater lakes are thought to have come from birds that carried their eggs from the sea. The park also possesses its own unique flora and fauna that have adapted to the periodic drying up of the area. When the dry season comes, the area of ​​the lake decreases, and the creatures inside are also reduced. (Photo: Whenoneearth) (Photo: Whenoneearth) Endless deep turquoise lakes winding through white sand dunes create a natural landscape that is both unique and beautiful. The special thing is that when taking photos, depending on the angle of the shot, visitors can “fool” netizens that they are in the middle of a large, arid desert or sunbathing on a clear blue water beach despite the fact that not so! (Photo: G-switch) “Wetland desert” is most beautiful during the period from July to September when the lakes are at their fullest. From October to November, there are strong winds blowing from the sea continuously, which hinders tourism because of dangerous sand flying. In addition, between January and June, the amount of rain in the national park is quite heavy, leading to longer nights than days, making the beauty of this place no longer show perfectly. Therefore, if you want to fully experience the attraction of Lencois Maranhenses National Park, it is best to come here between June and September because then the lakes are relatively full and it is not too sunny. There is also not much rain, so it is easy to visit and check-in freely. (Photo: @lencoismaranhenses) (Photo: Whenoneearth) (Photo: @lencoismaranhenses) (Photo: @lencoismaranhenses)

The most authentic touch is naturally a swim in person. In fact, many well-known rivers, lakes and seas have no lack of traces of people swimming. Although it is not common for safety and hygiene reasons, we still collected some different swimming stories to see what swimming in these waters is like. Experience. For people in Wuhan, there should be many memories of swimming in East Lake. When I was a child, my dad would take me to the lake to cool off the summer heat naturally. Jumping into the lake with a swimming ring, you can feel the occasional fiddle of water plants and sand slipping through your feet, and you can smell some grassy plants in the lake when you swim. Later, when I grew up, the control of the lake became stricter, and the number of “wild swimming” gradually decreased, and some water activities were replaced by water activities. The “Jumping in the East Lake” activity at the end of summer is a ritual to say goodbye to the summer. People rode into the lake one by one in a cheering, and they can also fall into the lake freely in the most beautiful posture. It seems a little nonsense, but it precisely records the love of Wuhan people for this lake. Now every time I drive by, I think of the simplest happiness of those hot childhoods. In 2010, I visited the West Lake once. At that time, I was traveling to Hangzhou with my wife. A few local friends asked us to row a boat. Halfway through the rowing, there was nothing special to do, so we stopped to chat. A friend suggested: It’s better to have a “skin kiss” with West Lake. “? So everyone undressed and jumped into the water. It was early June, and the water temperature was neither high nor low. Although the water of the lake is not deep, it can’t be pushed to the bottom. I heard that the bottom of the lake has accumulated silt for thousands of years, and it is particularly trapped (but there are no water monkeys). The water quality is good, but because my hometown is on the edge of the Yangtze River, and I often visit the Yangtze River, it is generally more pleasant to visit the Yangtze River. We only swam for a while, we were found by the patrol speedboat and sent back to the boat, and we were educated by the police. A local friend later explained that although the guardrails were not visible by the West Lake, it was still quite safe, because there were many plainclothes lifeguards and security guards “ambushed” nearby. Once they saw the water, they would come out to dissuade them immediately. In the first winter of coming to Beijing, going to the Summer Palace ice skating is what I look forward to most. The anti-freeze treatment before the cold weather has made me feel strong enough. I didn’t expect that the grandfather and aunt swimming in the Summer Palace are the anti-freezing king who plays with the temperature in the palm of the hand. In the river course of Nanruyimen, the bottom of the river can be seen from the part where the ice surface is knocked on. I saw a few old people walking on the shore and jokingly plunged into a specially opened “swim lane”. The relaxed posture and the soft warm sun also seemed to give me the illusion that it was not too cold. It was not until a strong wind blew that the unstoppable chills made me recognize reality. Later, the old people after the exercise told me that in fact, although the hands and feet would freeze quickly under the water, they did not feel particularly cold because the body was moving all the time. When they came ashore after swimming, they were exposed to the cold wind of more than ten degrees below zero, and even their hair quickly formed icicles. Therefore, they also specially formed a winter swimming team to run and exercise together after landing to relax menstruation and invigorate blood. In the summer 5 years ago, I always went to Lingshui Lake for swimming. Many people from Nanning would deliberately drive to Wuming County to find this natural swimming pool. The lake is warm in winter and cool in summer. It stays at around 23°C all year round, so you won’t feel uncomfortable after getting into the water. On the contrary, it is like being baptized by a wave of water before swimming. Lingshui Lake has always been known as “Bi Liuli”. The lush and lush trees on both sides of the lake cover the clear and clear water. It is really a pleasure for people with good water to swim here for two hours. However, I heard that in order to protect the ecological environment in the small county and the involvement rate was too high, it was no longer open to the outside world. To me, the little thing of swimming is more like a miniature “jianghu” of summer entertainment and social synthesis. When I was in high school, I often made appointments with my classmates to swim in Houhai during the summer vacation. The water is not deep, so I can get my head out of the water by tiptoeing. Compared with the swimming pool under the dumplings, Houhai is our open-air summer resort. I also became a rich man fishing, catching shrimps and clams in this “sea area”. Although the water is not too deep, the underwater environment is more complicated. Leaving the stone embankment, I slowly explored the depth with my toes. The mud and green moss on the bottom of the lake were smooth and greasy, and the water plants stuffed between the toes squirmed like a loach, and the unbearable itch made me stagger into the water. I started to swim forward, the water filled my chest, the rapid heartbeat lingering in my ears due to my breath, and while I was distracted, I was photographed underwater by the waves suddenly rolled up by the ferry. After the carp stood up, he found that he had an unexpected joy-a handful of large clams, just at a competitive age, immediately started the clam-touching competition. Now that the water level has also risen after the revetment is built, this wild interest is lost. When I was young, the Jialing River was near our home. In my impression, there was a very gentle embankment, and the smooth pebbles stretched down the river. A large area was framed by floating marks. The water level was not very high, and adults could be stable. Stand up. Before I go to the swimming pool, my grandpa will take me here to play. I set in the swimming ring and can float steadily without exerting any effort. Grandpa tied a rope to the swimming ring and let it go and let me drift down the water for a while. Pull me back again. So, it seemed to me like a mini rafting. The funny thing is that I was not afraid of water at the time, but that the fish in the river would come to eat me. But now, whether it is water quality, embankment environment or river safety, it is not suitable for swimming in the river anymore. This kind of memory is more of a joke after a meal. The winter three years ago should have been the coldest winter in Fuzhou. During the heavy snow festival, the cold air keeps going south and the temperature is close to 0℃, but the water temperature of the Minjiang River remains at about 20℃. So even in winter, swimming in the Minjiang River can only be called spring swimming or autumn swimming, but it takes courage to undress and enter the water in the cold wind. Winter is the time when the water quality of the Minjiang River is the best. I will launch it on the first or 15th day of the lunar calendar when the tide is high. I will swim in the warm river water, step on the rich “special products” carried by the tidal flat, and dry my body after a long swim. Sitting on the edge of the river sunbathing, happiness overflows all over the body, and every pore seems to be reborn. But now the hydrological environment is complex, and the two daily high and low tide packages given by the East China Sea tides are prohibitive. The water quality is no longer suitable for swimming in the lower river. People are more cycling and walking in Minjiang parks along the line. Do you have such swimming experience?

When we arrive at Ranwu Lake, we are not far from Bomi and Nyingchi where we are going. I have been here twice and stayed twice. The altitude is close to 4000 meters, and I still feel a little uncomfortable.

In addition, the weather was a bit cold and I didn’t sleep well all night, but I got up at 6:30 in the morning and went to shoot. As a result, the ideal picture was taken today. 1. Ran Wuhu encounters good weather, it is enjoyable to shoot. I used to shoot at Ranwu Lake on Line 318, but this time Lao Xu took us to the upper reaches and left Line 318. This is a canyon, but the water surface is a little frozen. The surrounding mountain peaks, because it has snowed in the past few days, are completely covered with special beauty. In the night, everyone was looking for a shooting location, but they were all limited to a small hillside, but the front was completely covered by ice, and the reflection of the water could not be captured. I simply walked forward by myself and walked a long way down to the bottom of the ditch, where I could be close to the surface of the water, and there was melting ice water on the shore, and the reflection of the water surface I wanted was available. In fact, the angle of photography is very important. Just like a person’s perspective, what you see and what you photograph will be different when you change the direction. So you can’t be lazy. Whether it’s behavior or thinking, you must always have your own ideas and discoveries. When entering Tibet this season, there seems to be a lot of fog. The photos taken these days are not ideal. Today, there are not only snowy mountains, sunshine, and transparent air. 2. Ranwuhu meets Buddhist worshippers and walks 50 kilometers a day I left Wuhu, not far from Linzhi. After the checkpoint, I stopped for lunch and had a bowl of rice noodles for 20 yuan. It felt like a long time ago. In fact, I have not left Yunnan for less than a month. While I was waiting, I first took pictures of the surrounding mountains and met two young people walking to Lhasa to worship Buddha. They said that they could walk 50 kilometers a day, and it would take more than ten days to get there… In fact, people on line 318 have their own goals and goals. Line 318 is not the starting point of life, nor the end of life. It is just a process in life, but the results of harvest may affect life for a long time. Whenever I see those who believe on the road, I always feel emotional. Perhaps, in their eyes, we are the people who have lost the way. 3. The accommodation in Bomi is overcrowded, stay here for three days Starting from Ranwu Lake, I arrived at Bomi in the afternoon, which was already overcrowded. Although the hotel we stayed in was booked early, there was still a lack of a room. Old Xu had to find another place, and I was living in the same room with another movie friend… However, the peach blossoms here have not yet reached their best season, and some are not flourishing and colorful. I went out to take a photo in the afternoon. Unfortunately, it was cloudy, the light was not good, and the shot was not bright, not the ideal scenery. Fortunately, I still have to live here for three days, and I still have the opportunity to shoot again tomorrow morning! 4. How much does it cost to eat a meal in Bomi, Tibet, the hottest tourist destination? Bomi, at this time, it can be called the hottest place to travel, not only is there a lot of tourists, but almost all the places where peach blossoms are in full bloom are overcrowded! The increase in tourists is the first manifestation of the pressure on accommodation. All hotels are full. If it is not booked early, the rooms are now at the top level. For example, the original room booked for 260 yuan has now risen directly to 600 yuan. The price of accommodation increases, so what is the price of food? This is the meal we ate in the evening, 16 people, two tables (double servings), a total of 836 yuan, 52 yuan per capita. how do you feel? In the most popular scenic spot… 5. How many days did the fastest person ride in Lhasa? Riding the Sichuan-Tibet line generally starts at Chengdu and ends at Lhasa. According to the standard time in the past, it is 28 days. Now, because the road is easy to walk, the speed is getting faster and faster without climbing. Since it is not the peak season for cycling, there are not many people who ride. When the summer vacation, those college students will be the mainstream on this road. However, because of the difference in human strength, the time taken is also long and short. I met two cyclists in the territory of Linzhi Bomi. One of them set off on the 5th and the other set off on the 8th. They merged together. … Old Xu told me that the fastest record for this journey was 7 days. It was created by a Shanghainese. He was riding a road car and had complete logistics support. He rode all the way, and rested for a while when he was tired. Go to bed for a while and ride the rest of the time! The 7-day record has not been broken yet? Is it really? Later, I checked the information and found a great man named Sun Hui who was in the Eight Heavens Sichuan-Tibet Extreme Riding Challenge in 2019. The result is 6 days 00 hours 56 minutes . The total distance is 2,160 kilometers, with a total of 14 high mountains, and the highest altitude is more than 5,000 meters.

(Photo: iExplore) Not only beautiful and peaceful, this island also owns a mysterious lake called Jellyfish Lake – Jellyfish Lake. Until now, science has not been able to explain why there are millions of jellyfish living here. (Photo: Flick) Jellyfish Lake is up to 12,000 years old, and probably has existed since the ice age. About 12,000 years ago, when sea levels were at their peak, seawater flooded the area and filled the lowlands to form present-day Jellyfish Lake. Until the glaciers recede, the jellyfish and fishes have no place to live, they just freely grow in the lake, eat all the algae and gradually develop into unique jellyfish species, creating unique species of jellyfish. so the ecosystem is very diverse. (Photo: ABC News) (Photo: The Travel) There are only 2 types of jellyfish living here: golden jellyfish (scientific name is Mastigias papua) and moon jellyfish (lunar jellyfish – scientific name is Aurelia), the most crowded is the yellow jellyfish. They need sunlight to grow and survive, so they will move from east to west in the direction of sunrise and sunset. Until dark, they will dive deep to the bottom of the lake to rest, and so on this cycle repeats throughout the jellyfish’s life. (Photo: iExplore) To get to Jellyfish Lake, from the pier, visitors will have to cross a rather long slope. Right at the right time to stop to rest, the dark blue Jellyfish Lake also appeared in front of everyone. To observe jellyfish in the lake, visitors are only allowed to swim, snorkel and mask. Everyone has a strange feeling when swimming and interacting with countless jellyfish around: It’s quite ticklish, but it’s also very enjoyable. (Photo: Lonely Planet) (Photo: Reddit) (Photo: Viator) Although both species of jellyfish have stinging cells, they are generally not strong enough to cause injury to humans, so swimming in the lake is safe. This is not a big obstacle for adventurous travelers. Because the opportunity to swim in a space filled with golden jellyfish like this is something in life that not everyone can enjoy. Therefore, despite having to pay a lot of money, but every visitor coming here is very eager to experience swimming with these special lovely jellyfish.

In the Altai region in Russia, there are two mysterious pink lakes. One is the Pink Lake in Crimea on the grassland. After the temperature rises in July each year, microorganisms in the lake multiply and the lake water turns pink overnight. It is not until the temperature drops sharply after October that the color of the lake gradually returns to Normal color. The other is the Malinov Salt Lake on the border between Russia and Kazakhstan. Malinov Lake is located on the edge of the village of the same name. This is a village with a population of more than 20,000. The villagers have lived on salt production for generations. However, because they are far away from major Russian cities, this village and pink lake are rarely affected by the outside world. Known. The water color of Malinov Lake is darker than Pink Lake, and it looks more crimson like a steak. In fact, from the perspective of aerial photography, its lake shape really looks like a steak, coupled with the crimson lake color, like a piece of Wagyu beef embedded in the ground. The dark red color is related to the microorganisms in the lake. This is a kind of Serratia bacterium that lives in salt lakes. It is a pink or red microbe. Our common pink lakes are mostly caused by the presence of Serratia in the bottom of the water, except for iron. After the water temperature rises in summer, the microorganisms at the bottom of the water rapidly multiply. Looking down on the lake from a distance or from a high altitude, you can see the wonders of pink in shallow waters and crimson in deep waters. If there is such a spectacle in our country, needless to say May Day, the daily time can be in a full state, and it can become an Internet celebrity every minute. But in Russia, Malinov Lake is little known. This is not because the village does not have access to it. On the contrary, because of the existence of lake salt, the village has direct road access to the outside world, and there is a salt-pulling train built in the 18th century on the lake. The main reason is that it is very far away from Moscow and is located on the border between the two countries. According to Russia’s economic development capabilities and customs, the village has no prospect of developing tourism. In the past, there were few tourists in this beautiful pink lake. Only in summer, villagers or residents of nearby small towns occasionally go to the salt lake to bathe in the sun. Because the locals believe that the silt and salt in the salt lake have a good skin care effect. In recent years, with news media reports and tourists sharing, Malinov Lake has gradually gained a certain popularity, and the number of tourists has also increased to a certain extent. But compared with our Chaka Salt Lake, the number of tourists can basically not be mentioned. So it also attracted many Russian tourists to come to vacation. Although there are no tourists coming, there are certain living facilities on the lakeside that can meet the basic needs of tourists. Of course, if there is no self-driving Altai, there is no need to make a special trip to this magical lake. Because it is indeed very far away, but if you have the opportunity to visit, you will have the opportunity to encounter the most fascinating scenery of the “Land of Thousand Lakes” in the Altai region.

Archaeologists have accidentally found female skeletons from hundreds of years ago at the bottom of the lake In ancient China, the status of women was very low. The ancient doctrine of “three submissions” comes from the book “Rite – mourning” by Boc Thuong. In the book, it is written that “at home, follow the father, when married, follow the husband, the husband follows the son” (At home, follow the father, marry, follow the husband, the husband dies with the children). Simply from this point of view, it can be seen that a woman is completely dependent, has no autonomy, can only obey her father, husband and son. The higher the status of men, the lower the status of women in the old society. They are only considered as a tool to give birth, not allowed to read books, only “take, exam, exam, draw” is enough because these abilities can be used to please men and become men. famous women. Ancient society had a mindset that limited women’s abilities. They even firmly believe that “A woman without any talent is a virtue”. This idea is so deeply ingrained that many women at the present time still agree with it. In “The Commandments of Women”, Ban Co once mentioned this point of view: “Men consider strength to be a precious thing, women take weakness to make beauty”. To a certain extent, this saying reflects Ban Co’s prejudice against women. She believes that women only go up to do things within the rules, but men must be stronger than women. In such a society, women are naturally subject to a lot of oppressive rules. If you do something wrong, you will face a great tribulation. We have to talk about these things today, because at the bottom of a lake in Guangdong, the bodies of many women have been found. After the archaeologists conducted investigative research, they also came to a conclusion about an extremely cruel fact in history. Women have almost no status in feudal society Every country has its own supreme basic principles named law. It not only limits people’s words and deeds, but can also be a powerful weapon for people to protect themselves, the key to helping society to be harmonious and stable. However, in ancient times, the law was not quite like that. Many of the provisions set forth in the ancient laws were cruel and draconian, imposing cruel punishments on prisoners, there were various types of death sentences, and more and more tortures. For women without status in ancient times, the punishments were even harsher. There are even punishments specifically designed to deal with women only, many of which involve the use of corporal punishment. Because of her low status, women always have to accept all their mistakes. Emotional misbehavior is all about women. For example, if a woman is close to men other than her husband, it will be considered a violation of her virginity and imprisonment, and the most serious of all types of punishment is imprisonment in a pig cage. In the past, a woman’s virginity was the most important thing, so if many people wanted to slander or harm a woman, attacking from this aspect would be a fatal knife. The punishment for this is to put the woman in a bamboo pig cage, then dump a lot of rocks and drown her in the water until she dies. Confinement in a pig cage is the heaviest punishment. Women who are no longer virgins will be dealt with in this way. Therefore, the bamboo cages originally used to carry pigs are called “soaked pig cage” is for this reason. Blue Cave Lake in Guangdong is very famous and is loved by many people to visit and explore because under the lake there are many extremely strange caves. By chance, a diver while exploring found a lot of skeletons on the bottom of the lake. The man panicked and went ashore and called the police. When police arrived at the scene to collect the bones, they discovered that the skeletons were more than a hundred years old. So they contacted archaeologists and asked them to send experts to survey the site. After experts arrived and examined them, they confirmed that these were the remains of women from the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. Experts have also discovered that these women are all locked in feudal pig cages. However, after the establishment of the Republic of China, this punishment was gradually abolished. The notion that men despise women is also decreasing, and more and more women in society protect their legitimate rights and interests, flourishing in many fields.

This is the Mermaid cruise ship. Along with dozens of other yachts, it was once splendid and lavish, with lights on every night to welcome guests at the corner of West Lake, at the intersection of Thanh Nien – Nguyen Dinh Thi streets. Scenes from many years ago Now the ship lies dormant in the area close to Nhat Chieu Street, rusty and deserted. The once carpeted entrance to welcome the footsteps of diners, now stands a cold broken leg chair. Even the canoe tied to the ship was broken. Stairs at the rear of the ship lead to the rooftop – in the past, diners often went up to this area to see the whole view of West Lake, while the train moved slowly… Going back in time, after many years of operating yachts, welcoming guests along Thanh Nien road, to a time when the restaurant business on West Lake was no longer suitable… …In 2016, Hanoi People’s Committee issued a decision to stop this type of business, so as not to disrupt the landscape and environment of West Lake. A year later, the yachts were towed across the lake and gathered in the present area. At first the yachts were also guarded, then the doors were bolted and abandoned. After half a decade of rain and wind, the yachts rusted and turned into scrap metal, greatly affecting the environment and beauty of West Lake. Billionaire silver ships are now deserted and deserted A corner of West Lake is now a “ghost ship graveyard” From once colorful colors, now all of them are… rusty There are at least two yachts located next to the lotus lagoon Potomac Cruise is the furthest one, located a bit from the shore, on the right is West Lake Water Park Potomac Cruise while welcoming guests In May 2019, the Hai Dang ship caught fire. Fortunately, the Fire and Rescue Police were present in time, extinguishing the big fire within 10 minutes, not letting the fire spread to neighboring yachts. Yacht owners install iron fences to prevent strangers from entering the ship. But in fact, fishermen get in and out easily, many of the ship’s iron and steel are ploughed and stolen by bad actors Six yachts are located next to the West Lake Flower Valley, which attracts women, ladies and girls to take photos all year round From this angle, it is clear that a ship has sunk, the water is full of compartments Along the winding road, where a lot of people (and foreigners) come to enjoy the wind and exercise every morning-afternoon are “ghost” trains. There are times when this yacht is flooded with water, lying on its side. Even the swan boats that trampled their feet sank These yachts, after no longer polluting and disrupting the landscape of the West Lake on the side of Thanh Nien Street, “caused harm” to the corner of the lake next to Nhat Chieu Street. Aerial photo of a yacht that was flooded. Perhaps because West Lake was not deep enough and lying on the shore, the new ship did not sink completely. A sign prohibits entry, but in fact this place has become a favorite fishing spot for many anglers specializing in poaching West Lake fish. Recently, a few small ships have been towed to the area for dismantling. This corner of West Lake really turns into a “ship graveyard”. The workers used torches to gradually cut the iron of the train compartment. Photo taken on the afternoon of May 13, 2021. However, these are small ships, and more than a dozen “ghost” yachts are still lying dormant and faltering. It is unknown when these giant iron and steel blocks will be dismantled and expelled… … to return to West Lake the clean environment and inherent beauty.

The idea of ​​a green building is the mainstay of the design, and one of those elements is the green fence that brings friendliness and closeness to nature. The designers tried to create as much green space as possible.

The beauty of Thien Tri Lake. A place with charming scenery Thien Tri Lake in Chinese transliteration is Tian Chi (Lake of Heaven). This is a lake formed by a volcanic eruption around 969 BC, located in a caldera at the top of the Changbai Mountains. There are many legends surrounding the lake, many people believe that the lake is inhabited by the Thien Tri Water Monster. Located at an altitude of 1,907m above sea level and an area of ​​4.9 square kilometers, 105m deep, Tianchi Lake is located about 30km from the Chinese city of Fukang, 45km east of Ürümqi in North Korea. Located in a favorable location adjacent to many places, tourism here is very developed. It is known that with reserves of more than 2 billion tons of fresh water, Thien Tri Lake is enough to supply water for all people in Beijing for 22 months. Due to its high altitude, the lake water is cold all year round, from mid-October to mid-June every year the lake is frozen 1m thick. In the summer, the temperature is also at 8 to 10 degrees Celsius, the oxygen concentration in the water is assessed by experts as low, the soil is arid, the vegetation is sparse, so there are no aquatic animals. reside. Only traveling to China can you see Thien Tri Lake with your own eyes, a place likened to a fairyland. Thien Tri Lake is known as the emerald at the foot of Thien Son range because of its beautiful turquoise water. The space around the lake is harmoniously adorned by immense mountains and forests with green botanicals and conifers. Surrounding the lake are dark green spruce trees mixed with snow mountains silhouetted on the lake surface, creating a magical shimmering beauty. There are four distinct seasons here, the scenery changes constantly over time. The beauty of the lake has unique features in all 4 seasons. Spring is full of life, summer is fresh, autumn is surprisingly peaceful, winter is white, cold but charming. The water in the lake due to melting ice and snow should be cool and transparent. The most beautiful season here is summer because this time is not too cold, the ice melts, the trees are lush and green, the flowers are blooming, making the painting even more beautiful. “Monsters” in Thien Tri Lake Thien Tri Lake also has many mysterious legends. According to a North Korean statement, leader Kim Jong-il was born in the area of ​​Changbai Mountain. By the time he died, the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported that fierce snowstorms had arisen, the ice on the lake surface was broken. When the blizzard dissipated, bright inscriptions carved on the mountain rock that read “Mount Paektu, the sacred mountain of the revolution. Kim Jong-il”, are said to be visible throughout the day, until sunset. Besides, there is also a mysterious story about the “water monster” living in Thien Tri Lake. Accordingly, local people said that the Thien Tri lake monster appeared in 1903, very much like a giant buffalo that emerged from the water, roared to attack three people on the lake and then disappeared after being shot 6 times. stomach. Information about the Thien Tri lake monster appeared again in August 1962, when a witness observed through a telescope that two large creatures appeared to be playing and chasing each other. This story has created a wave of rumors with more than 100 people claiming to have seen the monster with various descriptions ranging from a giant fish to a long-necked fish, resembling a Plesiosaur – a sea monster. Long necks dominated the Jurassic ocean. It is also said that the monster has a head as big as a human head, two very large round eyes, a protruding mouth, and a neck length of 1.2 – 1.5m. The photo is said to capture the horror monster on Thien Tri Lake. On October 9, 1980, China’s “Quang Minh Daily” published a story of a person who had witnessed the “monster” of Thien Tri Lake. The author of an article entitled “Recalling a time when he saw a “monster” said that around 4 am on August 21, 1980, while standing on a high cliff by Thien Tri Lake to watch the sun rise, he discovered In the distance there is an object, body like a buffalo, head as big as a jar, moving very fast, creating a long shelf of water behind. What makes people confused is that Thien Chi Lake is located near the highest peak in the northeast of the Changbai Mountains, formed on the mouth of an extinct volcano, the water is very cold (winter covered with snow and ice, summer at noon). here is also only about 11 degrees Celsius), the nutrient content in the water is extremely low, basically, it is difficult for any kind of organism to live. The results of a survey also show that Thien Tri Lake has no vertebrates. Therefore, the story of Thien Tri Lake suddenly appearing a large animal caused a great shock. On August 23, 2003, a group of tourists including more than 40 people were playing at Thien Tri Lake. It was around 11am, when suddenly, someone shouted, “Look, the beast has appeared again.” All eyes turned to the direction the visitor pointed. In the clear blue water, a black creature, about 3 meters long, was swimming from the south bank to the north bank and then dived and disappeared. Nearly a month before, about 20 “monsters” of Thien Tri Lake made a parade lasting about 50 minutes. Two years later, on 7/7, a person named Trinh Truong Xuan (residing in Phu Tung district, Jilin province, China) while walking around Thien Tri Lake, he happened to notice a shadow floating on the lake surface. Strange black immediately took the camera. Although some people think that it is just a driftwood, Mr. Trinh claims to have captured a picture of a strange creature in Thien Tri Lake. While everyone was still arguing, on July 21, 2005, the “monster” reappeared on the north bank and broke the calm water of Thien Tri Lake more than 10 days later. According to Mr. Hoang Tuong Dong, one person had the opportunity to see the “monster” of Thien Tri lake with their own eyes, the head and neck of the “water monster” protruding above the water surface was over 2 meters high. In 2013, a number of rather poor quality photos were circulated on social networks that are believed to be of the monster at Thien Tri Lake, once again raising attention to the existence of this creature. As recently as October 2020, an employee of Thien Son Thien Tri National Park (China) said that he had captured an image of a round black object floating on the water and thought it was ” Monster Lake Thien Tri”. An employee of Thien Son Thien Tri National Park told the Daily Mail that he spotted “a large creature, about 2.1 meters in size” while on patrol. He saw an unusual object in the middle of the lake and recorded it and posted it on Chinese social media. The footage, shot from an observatory 500 meters above the lake’s surface, shows the black circular object in the water. The black spot looks small on the video but it’s actually quite large in real life, the employee said. This staff member insisted it was definitely not a boat. Up to now, there are still many controversies surrounding the story “Tian Tri Lake Monster”. Many people believe that the “Monster” of Thien Tri Lake is the product of a mutation like in fantasy movies: An ordinary animal, after being affected by chemical radiation, became a giant, carrying monstrous form, even becoming a demon that endangers humanity? But many others found that this is a product of the statue, made up to attract tourists here. So far, there is no explanation or explanation to prove this, the truth about the giant “monster” in Thien Tri Lake is still a place to stimulate the curiosity of tourists when traveling to. China. In North Korea, the lake belongs to Ryanggang province (Luong Giang). Thien Tri Lake has for a decade now become a destination for Chinese tourists curious about the mysterious pair of “monsters” in the lake bed.

From the scientist’s notes The people of Lake Tanganyika have long spread about the appearance of a large and ferocious creature living at the bottom of the lake. The Tabwa tribesmen in northern Zambia call it the “God of Fishing”, they often hold rituals before the fishing season to pray for the “god” to facilitate the trip. The first reports of the monster appeared in 1893, when a survey led by Irish explorer Joseph Augustus Moloney went to the lake and met missionaries in the area. The monks told them of a large “sea serpent”, lurking in the murky depths of Lake Tanganyika, also sometimes seen lying in the sun on the shore. Another 1907 report came from the English naturalist Lord Walter Rothschild. He said he had heard stories of a large tusks monster lurking in the southern part of the lake, said to be quite ferocious. Rothschild did not see the creature, but said one of the witnesses was a South African police officer who recounted it and he believed them. Tales of the monster of Lake Tanganyika continued to circulate through the 1900s, mostly from foreigners, with a growing presence in the area. In 1914, a German doctor, MV Thierfelder walked along the banks of a remote lake in Burundi, where he set up a medical station to help deal with the alarming situation of sleeping diseases. One day, he went hunting with a local guide named Ilsgensmeier. This man took him around the area of ​​the lake, which is bordered by a cliff, and here they saw an entity that the German doctor did not know how to describe. It was a giant sea monster that he later estimated to be 30 meters long. “Suddenly, I saw from the lake a monster that looked like a monstrous snake appeared,” he said of the monster. It did not zigzag like a snake, but vertically above the water, at a fairly fast speed, straight up to the area bordering on the rocky shore, where I was lying still. It has no legs, near the head there are slender, fin-like structures on the sides. The whole body has a light brown color, without scales, but is covered with a thick, silky coat. The head of the animal is difficult to discern, because it appears only briefly in the water, but is not large and not clearly separated from the body. It is not like the head of a snake, but quite like the head of a mammal, like a manatee. However, its mouth seemed narrow and elongated. After moving among the otters for a while, the giant beast turned around and plunged into the lake, mixing in undulating waves. Where is the truth? Lake Tanganyika seen from satellite (left) and the area is said to have appeared monsters. In 1920, another remarkable story emerged, also of a foreigner, French writer and explorer, Victor Forbin. He said he had collected many reports on creatures called “amphibians, of enormous size, similar to elephants, rhinos and hippos in many different ways”. But Forbin’s documents in later years were considered untrustworthy, mostly just rumors and false assumptions, even the famous mysterious animal researcher, Bernard Heuvelmans, expressed doubted the authenticity of his stories. In 1928, there were numerous reports of an underwater reptile being seen by sailors on ships passing through the lake, and on one occasion they even spotted traces of this creature on shallow, described as the claw of a giant bird. These stories inspired explorer George Gray. He conducted a search throughout the area but was unable to locate the strange creature, other than reports from natives. Witness sightings after the 20th century began to dwindle, leaving one wondering what was seen, if it were a monster, where it was. Is this an unidentified reptile or a thick-skinned animal (pachyderm) with unidentified horns? It’s difficult to answer because the descriptions vary widely, from a sleek, zigzag reptile, to a large, lumbering hippopotamus. This made one consider, whether there could be more than one beast in the lake area. Whether the story is based on a real creature or just a part of the imagination, the monster Lake Tanganyika has become a bizarre African story and the search is not necessarily over. But with a depth of 1,436m (the second deepest in the world), 670km long of the lake, it is not easy to detect strange creatures here.

Rock and soil also flow into the drainage area of ​​the Hunza River and quickly fill the area, creating a new lake. The landslide, which displaced about 6,000 people and damaged, flooded more than 20 kilometers of the important Karakoram highway, was the only connection to the outback at the time. Karakoram Expressway started construction in 1959 by China and Pakistan together and completed 20 years later, in 1979. About five months after the disaster, Lake Attabad expanded to 21 kilometers long and more than 100 meters deep. The lake runs along the valley, narrow like a large, blue serpent, adding to the breathtaking beauty of the Gilgit and Hunza valleys. The truth behind a picturesque blue lake in Pakistan The beautiful blue color of the lake is like blending with the sky, creating a beautiful natural painting. Nestled among the majestic Karakoram mountains in northern Pakistan, Lake Attabad is currently the largest lake in this Gilgit-Baltistan region. The lake becomes a major tourist attraction. Hotels and guesthouses spring up around the lake, along with a variety of recreational activities such as boating, water motorbikes and fishing. But for those affected by the landslide, the lake, the scenery is not quite as picturesque. The Attabad disaster completely engulfed four villages including Ainabad, Shishkat, Gulmit and Gulkin. Apple Tree Garden with many hundreds of years old trees, historic sites, temples are submerged in the lake. At that time, the army evacuated the local people and temporarily took them to another valley. Highway is flooded, vehicles, passengers and goods must travel by wooden boat. Five years later, the Karakoram Expressway changed course along the shores of the lake and people’s lives returned to normal. Today, Lake Attabad attracts tourists from all over the world, freely admiring the special wonder created by nature. Pakistan has many beautiful lakes such as Lake Borith located at an altitude of 2,600 meters above sea level, or Passu glacier lake in the middle of mountains … but few lakes have both natural beauty and disintegration like Lake Attabad. .

Speaking of the most distinctive scenery in Qiandao Lake, there is nothing more than a thousand dotted and verdant islands. Meifeng Island, as the first-level scenic spot of Qiandao Lake, is the highest among all the islands in the lake, and it is also the best place to climb the scenic lake to see the lake. As the saying goes, “You can travel three thousand islands in the lake, and it will be in vain not to reach Meifeng.” Meifeng Island is named because the five hills that make up the island resemble plum blossoms. The ecological environment on the island is excellent, and the scenery is changeable in the four seasons. The natural and cultural landscapes are integrated, and you can see nearly one-third of the islands in the lake from a high perspective. It can be described as an overview of the beauty of the thousand islands. Of course, there is another way of saying that it is called Meifeng. It is said that the Willow-leaves Chimonanthus was all over the island in the past. Today’s Meifeng Island can be regarded as a veritable plum-appreciating resort in Qiandao Lake. Whenever everything is dying in the severe winter, thousands of plum blossoms on the island are in full bloom, and the fragrance is floating, which is beautiful and poetic. In the southeast lake area of ​​Qiandao Lake, there is also a small island full of Zen flavor. According to legend, the story of “three monks without water to eat” happened there. This small island is Mishan Island, known as the only “Xianshan Mountain in the Lake” in Qiandao Lake. Since ancient times, Mishan has been a Buddhist resort, with curvy Sanskrit sounds and flourishing incense. The reason why it is called “Honey Mountain”, according to the “Chun’an County Chronicles” of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty: “There is honey in the water and empty Shihu”, hence the name. Climbing up the Mishan Ancient Road paved with bluestone slabs, you can deeply feel the tranquility and Zen of the “Bihu Qingshan Ancient Tibetan Temple”. There is a majestic, secluded and solemn Mishan Temple, one of the “famous places in West Zhejiang” in ancient times. There is a sweet water quality and the “first spring in the southeast” which is endless in all seasons. There is also a Mishan spring that commemorates Mr. Guo Moruo’s presence. The poetry pavilion built to recite poems and other historical sites. Osmanthus Island is about two kilometers away from Mishan Island. It is named after the wild osmanthus everywhere on the island. It is also called Longyang Mountain because of its location as the legendary dragon girl herding sheep. It is the earliest tourist attraction developed in the Qiandao Lake Scenic Area, and it is mainly composed of three natural scenic areas: Pine Forest, Osmanthus and Shiyan. Among them, the most eye-catching is undoubtedly the wild osmanthus trees escaping from the jagged rocks, giving people a sense of beauty of “cinnamon sticks with special affection.” Most of them are old and diverse in variety. Every late autumn, wild osmanthus on the island is blooming, sweet and very charming. Of course, the natural rockscape on the island is also a major feature. Osmanthus osmanthus island is a calcareous karst landform. In the process of natural evolution, it has created wonderful landscapes such as oolong water, rhinos roaring in the sky, and clear waves reflecting the moon. While appreciating the beautiful scenery, don’t forget to express the wonderful workmanship of nature. In addition, there are five dragon islands with rich ruins, lock islands shaped like giant locks, strange stone islands lined with strange rocks, Yunmeng Islands and Shenlong islands filled with monkeys and snakes, etc., which can be described as thousands of islands.

The clear water in the scenic area is peculiar, thousands of islands are beautiful, the natural scenery is exquisite, the ecological environment is excellent, and it has the reputation of “the middle reaches of the Qiandao clear water painting”. Its main characteristic landscape is the so-called Thousand Islands, Xiushui, and Golden Belt. Thousand Island Lake, the island is as its name, because there are more than a thousand islands of different shapes in the lake, so it gets its name. These islands have their own characteristics and are green and dripping, and they are hidden from the green mountains and clear waters.

Of course, the most worth seeing is Meifeng Island, a first-class scenic spot in Qiandao Lake, because it has the highest altitude and is the best place to ascend the scenic spot to view the lake. It can have a sweeping view of the beauty of Qiandao Lake. As for the water of Qiandao Lake, let alone how clear it is, although it is 100 meters deep, it has a visibility of up to 12 meters. Nearly 600 square kilometers of the open lake, the blue sky and white clouds, surrounding mountains, lush green forests and other scenery are all clearly reflected in the water. Boating on the lake can experience the artistic conception of “boat walking in the scene and people swimming in the painting”. People can’t help but think of a poem by Shen Yue in the Southern Dynasties praising his clear water: “Dong Che follows the clear and light, and there is no winter and spring in the bright mirror; Qianren writes the tree, and sees the scales in a hundred zhang.” Moreover, the water quality of Qiandao Lake is pure and sweet, reaching the national Class I water quality standard. According to China’s largest rivers and lakes, it not only benefits the thousands of households in Hangzhou, but also the Nongfu Spring, which we often drink, is water taken from the depths of Qiandao Lake. . He was praised as “the best beautiful water in the world” by Mu Qing, former president of Xinhua News Agency. However, behind the magnificent scenery of lakes and mountains, it is of course inseparable from the dedication and love of people. Looking at the vast expanse of blue waves in front of him, who would have thought that there are still two thousand-year-old cities hidden underneath, and a period of poignant homesickness. In 1959, in order to cooperate with China’s first five-year plan, China’s first self-designed and constructed large-scale water conservancy hydropower station was built at Tongguan Koukou of Xin’an River, and the reservoir formed by interception and impoundment will be built in Han and Tang Dynasties. The two thousand-year-old cities of “Lion City and He City” during the year, together with many surrounding towns and 10,000 acres of fertile land, were all submerged under Qiandao Lake. Nearly 300,000 people have left their hometowns and emigrated, showing that the lake’s beautiful waters are full of ancestors. We miss our hometown. For the beautiful lake in front of us, the people of Qiandao Lake today are doing all they can to care for them. They insist on closing mountains for reforestation, shutting down polluting companies, cleaning the lake regularly, etc. I believe it is also the care of the people of Qiandao Lake. Good for all the world!

From the city center of Buon Ma Thuot, drive 56 kilometers south for more than 1 hour, you will be present at this beautiful natural place. As the largest freshwater lake in the Central Highlands, the lake is surrounded by a vast primitive forest with rich flora and fauna, the surface of the lake is flat, green, reflecting the silhouette of mountains and forests. The course is beautiful, peaceful and very poetic. Living around the lake are mostly M’Nong people from villages such as Jun village, M’Lieng village, Le village … which still retain many unique traditional cultural values. Therefore, when traveling to Lak lake, tourists not only can feel the natural beauty but also have the opportunity to discover cultural beauty. In it, you should not miss the opportunity to experience elephant riding in Ho Lak. Surely this is a very wonderful experience for those who love the Central Highlands elephants. Accordingly, in Jun village, there are about 20 elephants living and participating in tourism activities, visitors can visit to play with elephants, feed the elephants, and especially ride elephants to visit Lak Lake, interesting wonder. Below is a series of photos by Dr. Mai Kieu Phuong capturing the elephant moments in Lake Lak at dawn and dusk.

Lugu Lake is one of my favorite places. It is located at the junction of Sichuan and Yunnan. A major element that is more different is that in addition to its unique natural beauty, it also has a very unique ethnic customs. Therefore, it also makes It has become a destination that many people like very much and are willing to visit many times. Lugu Lake is a plateau faulted and subsided lake. It is the third deepest freshwater lake in China. The entire lake is composed of 5 islands, 4 peninsulas, a long island, and 14 bays. There are 5 islands and 3 bays scattered in the lake. The peninsula and a seawall are connected with islands, generally 15 to 30 meters above the water surface, surrounded by mountains around the lake, Goddess Gemu Mountain stands high beside the lake, and Houlong Mountain is wedged into the center of the lake, forming a horseshoe-shaped Lugu Lake. In April, the Lugu Lake near the south has a warm weather and looks very comfortable. On the backside, many trees have already grown very luxuriant branches, which are very different from the scenery in the north. The Lugu Lake in April is sunny when the weather is clear. It is very beautiful, not only will you breathe the fresh and cool air, but also some of the things you see in front of you will appear pure and natural. Every spring and summer, it is a good time for many people to come here to visit the lake and take photos. Every time they go to check in, their thoughts and photos are different. Some people are to record their lives. People just check in here, and more people are attracted because of the unique scenery and customs here. If you come to feel it, maybe you won’t come again in many years. What if Lugu Lake is there? In fact, it is not clear in one or two sentences. When the weather is fine, there are thousands of miles of clear sky and you can see the realm of the sky. Do you know what heaven looks like, and what is this place? If the weather is normal, but you want to feel the difference, even if you are walking by the lake and under the weeping willows, you will see that each segment in front of you will be divided, and at the same time different pictures connected together. Color may best explain all of this. The biggest highlight of color is that every place here is different, and even if it is the same time period every year, there will be different. This is the reason for the season and climate. The colorfulness is It’s not the best repair at this time, but the clean and comfortable feel is fascinating. Almost all the flowers are ready to bloom, or have already bloomed, and the number of tourists is gradually increasing, becoming a shining landscape on Lugu Lake. Whether you want it or not, it is actually a very good choice in itself. When you occasionally hike through the plank roads and stone roads by the lake, and walk by the resident residents living near Lugu Lake, you will feel that life and daily life are not as simple as the beautiful scenery you see in front of you, sometimes it is firewood, rice, oil and salt. Every detail, countless people working hard day and night behind each scenery to show what you like, this is the beauty of Lugu Lake at this moment, authentic, simple and clean!

Chongqing native Xie Ke built a home in Dali, Yunnan.

500 square meters, four floors, sitting on Cangshan and Erhai Lake,

People who have been here sigh,

“This is the most comfortable home I’ve ever stayed in.”

When the decoration started, he only thought about simple functional partitions.

Where to open the window, where to turn, where to leave blank,

The design is solved on site,

Even spend a whole day observing the trajectory of sunlight,

Bring nature into the room as much as possible,

One package is three years.

Xie Ke worked as a fitter for seven years after graduating from high school.

By mistake, he was admitted to the Oil Painting Department of Sichuan Academy of Fine Arts.

Later, I fell in love with design.

Engaged in interior design for 27 years,

He used sensitive intuition and aesthetics,

Created a lot of well-known works.

“Xie Ke-style residences” are mostly made of white walls and wooden furniture “colored”.

The sun can breathe in every corner,

This home in Dali is even more classic.

Xie Ke hopes that every design he makes,

Are like flowers that grow in the environment,

“With dewdrops and human body temperature.”

Early April is the most beautiful spring season in Dali.

We came to the “mountain and river” under the shade of rose pink cherry blossoms.

Readme | Xie Ke Written | Tan Yibai

Editor in charge | Chen Ziwen

People who know Xie Ke will use one word to describe him-warm and moist. Like all the houses he designed, the “Xie Ke-style” temperament runs through.

Shanshuijian is an ordinary villa area one kilometer away from the ancient city of Dali. Xie Ke bought one of them in 2016. “The landscape is great. Facing the Erhai Lake and backing by the Cangshan Mountain, the most beautiful scenery of Dali has been taken in. In this house.”

Xie Ke is not a professional architect, nor is he a background design major. All the space transformations come from his keen sense of space.

The original staircase extends from the negative first floor to the third floor, and the space surrounds this main axis, which is very boring. So he translated several flights of stairs in the inner garden on the first floor, creating a turning point. When he went upstairs, he made a turn and moved instantly to change the scenery.

Or, he moved the window down 10 centimeters. This adjustment was enough to frame the shadow of the tree on the opposite side.

He opened a lot of windows to introduce air, sunlight and vegetation into the room, blurring the boundary between indoor and outdoor. This idea is similar to the literati landscape.

“I like holistic thinking, studying light and feeling people.” In the landscape, his designs are based on the landscape conditions. “I will observe in the space what I see first and then see what, which needs to be enlarged, and which Need to be circumvented.”

There is always music playing in the corner at home. He likes to listen to Mark Knopfle, the Munich Bach Orchestra version of the “Brandenburg Concerto” conducted by Richter, and Xu Wei.

As a Chongqing native, he actually felt that Dali was more smoky, and he ate all the restaurants in Dali. On weekdays, the scope of activities is within one kilometer of halal restaurants, porcini noodle restaurants and street cafes. After wandering around, he returns home and sits down, which is his most enjoyable time.

Xie Ke defined his house as “a corner where friends can gather together joyfully”. He hoped that his family, friends, and even company colleagues could come and live, so he decentralized the house. Each floor has a large enough public area, which is often greeted and sent, and everyone who comes in is very comfortable. Drinking tea, chatting, and gathering scenes can take place in any area.

The following is Xie Ke’s narrative.

After so many years of designing, my biggest feeling is that all powerful techniques, materials, and design languages ​​cannot be compared with nature. I will maximize the natural elements.

If time permits, I will go to the scene to observe the sun as much as possible.

I spent more than half a year on the construction site during the renovation, living in the guest house next to it. I came here as soon as the sun came out in the morning to see how it walks this day? Come after seven o’clock, and come after nine o’clock. If moonlight comes in at night, I will come to feel it again.

Therefore, the zoning of this house is basically determined according to the trajectory of the sun.

In the morning, the round table area on the first floor usually has the best sunlight, so the first cup of tea or coffee is drunk here.

Slowly, as it approaches noon, the temperature in the yard rises, and my friends and I will unanimously move outside and grill our backs in the yard.

At 2 o’clock and 3 o’clock in the afternoon, the platform on the third floor seemed particularly attractive. It was very comfortable to take a nap watching the sunshine on the Cangshan Mountain.

At night, sitting on a deck chair on the terrace, you can see the stars of Dali.

As for the wall, I used the simplest method, leaving a lot of white space so that sunlight can be painted freely on it.

Many design details can not be solved on the drawings, and most of them can only be discovered on the spot-this is a habit I have developed for many years. Especially in the early stage, it is necessary to go to the construction site to sort out and improve all the design problems at that stage.

In addition to imagining how the sun shines on that day, I will walk back and forth inside to see what I can see and the different feelings that the height of sitting brings me.

For example, in a bedroom on the top floor, the Erhai Lake in the distance can be seen from the window. I was at the same height as the bathroom in the bedroom. I told the worker that there was a window open at this position, and it happened that the height was invisible to others. Me, but I can also enjoy the view of Erhai Lake when I take a bath.

There are also some rooms facing west. On the spot, I found that it looked at the living room of the house next door, which was not very comfortable, so I used a kind of glass brick there, which transmits light but does not transmit shadows.

After the space transformation, we still have to think about emotions and feelings in order to make full use of materials.

I also try not to make the space command absolutely precise, leaving room for craftsmen.

You see, all the woodwork in this house is made by the master on the spot. I met these carpenters in my first project after graduating in 1994. I have known each other for 27 years. They are a group of masters who are very good at making wood, and they are full of wisdom in understanding and handling many things.

Sometimes, the designer does not want to create a complete space, but to allow a space to grow freely. This is true even with my projects. About sixty to seventy percent is enough, and the rest is left to the owner of this space.

I can’t tell what the style of my home is. I bought 70% of the furniture in my home. It comes from all directions, Southeast Asia, Europe, Japan… I can only say that they all bring a sense of comfort. , Rustic and comfortable atmosphere.

In addition to personal aesthetics is very important when shopping for things, I also have a principle: I don’t like a particular piece of furniture. I will choose objects that are quiet and can have dialogue with other things.

That is very interesting, like a creative process.

One of the cabinets is particularly interesting, with a round hole in the middle. I was in a village in Southeast Asia. I was attracted to the cabinet when I saw it. It was a bit like a cubist painting. Later I asked the owner where I found it. He said he made it himself. This cabinet may have the soul of an artist in it.

There is a chair with a mirror. Its two wooden legs are curved in an unusual curve. This folk item is very vivid and natural. Sometimes I still imagine, who made this chair? Did he do this thing in his entire life?

There is also a coffee table in the public area on the second floor. If there is no carving on it, it is just a piece of pure empty wood. I was left on the side of the road at the time, and I felt very good after seeing it! It took great effort to transport it back home.

The furniture looks old, but you don’t find this house boring. This has a lot to do with the introduction of the outdoor environment into the interior, because with the sunlight moving around, the light hits the cabinet, making it a state of breathing.

The concept of home, the first thing I think of is the space where all the children, parents, grandpa, cousin and cousin lived together when I was young. I was born in the late 1960s. When things were so poor, every small change in my family brought great joy.

In the past, the color of each household was very single, generally in gray and blue tones. I remember one year, in the early 1980s, our family bought a bucket of paint and painted all the rooms. The impression seems to be apple green, and the curtain on the attic is blue, with a small sailboat and a villain on it.

This was very rare in that era, but it was very beautiful. It’s because parents like to find some fun and beautiful things, take them home, and bring them into life. So many of my thinking and observations about design now come from my childhood memories.

Although my life was very simple at that time, I am especially grateful to my parents for teaching me that life must be tuned. At that time it was called Tiao Tiao, but now it may be called Paying Attention. When my mother inserts a flower, she will adjust the angle of it.

I grew up in Chongqing. I didn’t get good grades from high school, so I went to the factory and worked as a worker for seven years. One year my cousin wanted to enter the Academy of Fine Arts. I actually liked art and architecture very much. At that time, there was not much work in the factory, so I accompanied her to paint for more than half a year. In the end, she was admitted as a stewardess and stopped painting. I wanted to try it. After two years, she was admitted to the Sichuan Academy of Fine Arts.

When I graduated, there was almost no concept of “design” in the mainland, especially in Chongqing. You can only get some income by designing for free and then doing a little engineering.

After doing this in 2007, I felt that that state was not suitable for me, and I still wanted to do the design relatively purely. So all the project works were stopped and started from the beginning.

I am very thankful that I made that decision, and now whenever someone finds my design because they see my work, they feel very excited.

After the epidemic, I also observed that hotels and restaurants with good environment are more popular, and people want to live in more comfortable houses. For a long time in the future, people will begin to pay attention to the “small environment” in which they live and the quality of life.

I will spend about one-quarter or one-fifth of the year in Dali now. If I stay here, most of the time I will be empty, and my phone will not ring anymore.

When I came to Dali for the first time in nine years, I really liked it here. Although there was a period of time when people were less enthusiastic about coming to Dali, I still loved this place very much, not only for the scenery, but also for people.

It seems lazy, but it gives me enough time to ponder the space, to feel people slowly, and to find a way to “space serves people”.

Are people happy, comfortable, and comfortable inside? That house is the house for people to live in, not for people to take pictures to show. What really impresses me is a very simple language.

• Natural factors (sunlight, ventilation) and orientation are the most important, it can bring more care and comfort to people.
• Don’t care too much about decentness or good-looking, learn to be like a cat, find the most comfortable area in the house, make the most of it, and you will have a continuous sense of happiness in the future.
• Putting aside the inherent logic, if you don’t need a study, don’t install it, but stimulate your desire for home from your own lifestyle.
• Feel the most relaxed state of yourself in comfortable public spaces (parks, cafes, etc.). The height of the seat and the spaciousness of the space can learn from the layout of your own home.
• When choosing furniture, choose natural materials such as stone, wood, and leather. One is environmental protection, and the other is that you will find that they will grow with people.

Hanoi is a city surrounded by the Red River with great flow and fertile alluvial deposits. With long-standing living characteristics, two riversides are always crowded places. Many big bridges in Hanoi connect the two banks of the Red River such as Nhat Tan, Chuong Duong, Vinh Tuy, Thanh Tri, … Stretching from the residential areas of Hoan Kiem, Ba Dinh, Tay Ho districts to the middle of the river is a blank stretch of land with a green color of trees and crops. Although it has a large area, this place where people are used to calling it “middle ground” is just a place where people cultivate, increase production and make beaches. Mr. Pham Van Thi today visited the garden and harvested water spinach. He has 2 sao of land along the river. Every season, he kept a different kind of vegetable, and he planted it for his family to eat and sell at the same time. Rubbing his hands onto the wet, wet field ground, Mr. Thi shared: “The land along the river should be fertile. Vegetables and grass are up, no need to fertilize much nitrogen. Just sowing, watering, clearing the grass is a vegetable garden for harvest ”. However, the fertile land is so, but the plants here are mainly: bananas, corn, potatoes and Northern vegetables. These are cultivars with little capital and short harvest time. The reason for planting these trees is because this is the land area of ​​the city, people only plant trees in the “temporary” mind, when planning will be returned. The entrance to the beach in the middle of the Red River is covered in a green color with rows of bananas, vegetable gardens mixed with dense vegetation. If you are not familiar with the way down, it is easy to get lost by the blinded view. – Squid! Where are you running? Come back. The voice of Mr. Vu calling his dog so that it does not get lost on the way to the beach. Every afternoon, Mr. Vu and his companion ride a bicycle across the Long Bien Bridge, together to cool off along the Red River. Along the riverbank, there are 3-4 large and small beaches. Each beach also went to dozens of people. From children, young people to the elderly, calls to each other, laughs stirred up both sides of the river. No one remembers when these riverside beaches have existed, but for a long time, swimming here is a very familiar living image. Located close to the edge of the Red River, Phuc Xa (Ba Dinh) inn with old cement-tiled roofs has been around for more than 20 years. The inns are long, connected with dozens of rooms. This is known as the lodging area for people from other provinces who come to Hanoi to earn a living with low income. Most of them are workers working in Long Bien night market such as selling, loading, towing … Ms. Pham Thi Ngat is a State official, mobilized to Hanoi in 1992. She owns 30 rooms of about 500 square meters in Phuc Xa ward. In the past, this was a part of arable land along the river, to grow vegetables. Later she poured land, built a room and rented it at a cheap price. The small rooms are the accommodation of 2-3 workers, the area of ​​which just fits a bed, wardrobe, cooking shelf is about 10 m2. People in the neighborhood go to work from 22:00 the day before until 6-7 o’clock the next day. They spend most of their daytime time resting, eating and drinking in their rooms. Until more than 15 o’clock, the inn is still quiet. Only Ms. Khuong and a few people woke up, and she pulled some stained plastic chairs from the house to sit and enjoy the wind. – Wake up, get up here to sit cool, Mrs. Hai, Fresh! The voice of Miss Area was loud enough for Miss Tuoi’s room at the far end of the inn to hear. The story is the same every day, just revolves around the shopping, selling … but always juicy. While talking to each other to eat fruit and hot weather, we buy ice cream and yogurt. Heaven in Hanoi on hot days is considered “harsh” extremely for the neighbors. Sitting in the inn at dusk, Mr. Pham Van Binh dined with sweat drops on his forehead. “In the day it is hot and can’t sleep, and at night there is no strength to go to work,” he lamented. Ms. Tuoi has been working in Hanoi for 4 years now. The room less than 15 m2 is where she lives with her husband and daughter “in and out”. Her health is not good, so the main income in the family is still under the care of her husband and daughter. Occasionally, she went to Long Bien market to take some shrimp and bring them to retail to increase her spending. The temporary accommodation is built on a cultivated land, without a red book. Although she pays full land tax every year, Ms. Ngat and the whole hamlet always have the spirit of “temporary residence”. If the city has land to build, they will move. “The living quarters of the working people are not spacious, beautiful, everything is temporary, but everyone living together is always happy,” said Ms. Tuoi. She added, there are families living here for decades, since the first days the village was built. Just like that, there are kids who have grown up here with their parents. “Grandma let me go ashore”, the boy Hieu called to Mrs. Oanh. For people in Phao hamlet, “going ashore” means going to work, going out, and “going in the water” means going home. The old boat with an area of ​​about 20 m2 has been the house of Mrs. Oanh’s family for nearly 20 years. The whole family of 3 is 3 generations: Grandmother, youngest daughter and grandchild. Nguyen Tien Hieu (5 years old) was born here, can also be considered a Hanoi boy, although Hieu’s birth certificate and household registration must be very difficult to do. Ms. Nguyen Thi Oanh, a farmer from Yen Thanh (Nghe An). She was one of the people in Phao village for the longest time. She did not remember the year she came here, the woman only remembered that her youngest daughter was only 7 years old. Over the years, her boat house has been damaged, or even broken, during the great floods. However, she still repaired to stay, because life here “is still easier than in the countryside”. The Red River is in high water season, every time a boat goes back and forth, the water waves rush into her family’s boat, the boat keeps rocking all day. However, with grandchildren, “it will be familiar to live a long life,” said Mrs. Oanh. The people of Phao village, nearly 30 dozen households, live close together by the river bank. Until now, their activities have no electricity or water. So is Mrs. Oanh’s family. A few units came down to support people with solar panels, batteries. However, every day when the sun is strong, the electricity is strong, and like in winter, the whole space in the boat is dimly lit because there is not enough electricity. Although it is about 3 km from the center, but Phao hamlet wants to connect and move back and forth with the city, there is only one road from the middle of Long Bien Bridge sloping down. A hurried, bumpy, concrete road less than 1m wide with grass cluttering on both sides. Young Hieu attended a private kindergarten across the river. Every day, at 6:30, Mrs. Oanh took her bicycle to school, and picked her up again in the afternoon. A few days ago, while taking Hieu back from school, when we took the bicycle from Long Bien Bridge down the steep road, our two grandchildren fell down and had to wait for everyone around to help. The accident also made her knee aching so far. The life of the people of Phao village was like that, when the big country came, they ran ashore. They stayed at the neighbor’s house. Soon, for a few days, for a whole month. That’s why everyone wants the flood season to be short for life to be stable. When asked, if she later proceeded to plan the land on both sides of the river, where would her family live, Mrs. Oanh just looked at the far bridge, dropping her thin shoulders: Where is not known. At least there is no cost of rent here like the lodgers.

Ho Tay embankment, section passing Quang Khanh street, is used by people to grow clean vegetables. Every day, Ms. Nguyen Thi Hoa, a native of Vinh Phuc (a housekeeper for a family on Quang Khanh street) regularly 2 times to water and care for the vegetable garden in the morning and afternoon. The vegetable garden here is very convenient for watering because it is close to the edge of the lake. The soil is poured into concrete holes like the rock-hole cultivation of the Ha Giang people. The guard of a villa on Quang Khanh street also takes advantage of his free time to grow vegetables to improve daily meals. There are all kinds of vegetables such as amaranth, water spinach, spinach, basil, cabbage … depending on the season. Ms. Hoa said that in order to have land to grow vegetables, she had to buy 5,000 VND / bucket, then put it in each concrete hole. Planting right on the edge of the lake, vegetables are always green because water is always enough. Without using plant protection drugs, vegetables here are only fertilized with microbiological fertilizers, so every day, Ms. Hoa has to pull grass by herself and catch worms. Harvest time depends on the growth rate of each vegetable. Water spinach will be harvested after about 1 month from sowing, amaranth after 2 weeks, vegetables usually just over 1 week are already picked … Taking advantage of about 100 meters of the embankment to grow vegetables, Ms. Hoa has enough vegetables for herself and her host family. Sometimes the vegetables grow too fast, she even has to give. Unlike vegetable gardens grown in the style of cultivation on Ha Giang rocky plateau, vegetable gardens on the bank of West Lake embankment, passing Tu Hoa street, are divided into beds like normal vegetable gardens.
