£²¡¢Crouching Dragon Bay
The Crouching Dragon Bay, on the way coming close to the Kanas
Lake, along the river the peaks stand erect, forest become lush
and dense. canyons become deep and rivers become swift. After crossing
a wooden bridge, one will
see a stretch of pure betula pendula, whose trunks are tall and
straight, barks are white, branches are drooping gracefully, with
clear-cut aspect, being known as A Maid in Forest. After the birch
forest, the valley suddenly become broad, wjth the Crouching Dragon
Bay ahead, shaping like a cauldron, called Cauldron-bottom Lake
by the local people. Some tourists, on getting here, will think
it is the Kanas Lake. However,they wont know the truth until lingering
on with no thought of leaving for half a day and then, they simply
call it Little Kanas Lake. The Crouching Dragon Bay has a water
area of about 90,000 sq meters. The Kanas River slowly flows by,
its color is pure blue and clean and soft waves are floating, with
the scenery of rivers and mountains behind being reflected on the
water. The ait in the bay looks like a giant crouching bay. It is
said that long, long ago, a giant dragon once played with water
by mounting the clouds and riding the mist. All of sudden, the weather
changed drastically, the ice sealed and snow froze in a moment,
for which the giant dragon was frozen stiff here, thus being named
the Crouching Dragon Bay. Here is an ideal place for cultivation
of fish with its long bay and slow flow, in which someone once caught
a 2 meter-long Big Red Fish.
3,Moon Bay
Taking a trip northward 1 kilometer from the Crouching Dragon Bay,
one can overlook the Moon Bay on the mountain-encircling road. The
bay is a section of Z-shape river course, whose serene, blackish-green
water looks like a ¡°Crescent¡±.
At sight of this scene, one can feel the magical creation of great
nature featured by an evening crescent compared to faint and quiet
dreamland.
In the crescent like section sits a foot-shape isle, which is said
to be a foot-print left by the goddess of the moon, having secretly
eaten the glossy dragon while flying back to the moon in a hurry.
The indigenes also call it "Crescent Lake" or "Foot-bottom
Lake".
£´¡¢Tuwa Kampong
The Tuwa people build their houses with pine wood, whose four
walls are stacked up with logs, with ceiling floor and slant pointed
roof suitable for frequent rain and snow arrounding in mountainous
area. When flowers bloom in warm spring, they drive their cattle
and sheep to the summer pasture on the top of a mountain. In late
autumn, they drive their stocks down the hills and live in the log
cabins for a long winter.
