Lashihai-migratory birds'heaven

Today we have a funny vocation in Lashihai lake. Lashihai is in the center of the Lashi Dam and it is the first natural reserve area of Yunnan province named “wetland”. The avifauna in Lashi wetland can be divided into 4 communities: water surface area, swamp, agricultural farmland and forest vegetation. We can choose different areas to have a visit. Also, because of its special geography location, unique climate and distinctively ecological environment, Lashihai Lake is an ideal hibernating ground for migratory birds. If you like this kind of birds, you can come here in winter.
Then, let’s talk about our vocation. In the morning, we ride a horse along the Tea-horse road. What is the Tea-horse road? In the ancient times, because the representative commodities trade on this road were tea and horses after Tang and Song Dynasty, it was called Tea-horse Road. The ancient “Tea-horse” road was a major old route for trading tea and horse between the inland agricultural region and the remote nomadic region. So, when we walk along the road ,we can have a feeling with deeply historic and cultural. Lashi  Lake is a beautiful place for us to go.actually,we have a lot of fun there.Also,if we want,we can have a barbecue there.After the lunch,wo go boating by ouselves.it also makes many fun.
