Because of a song, I traveled to a city.

📸 Erhai Lake | It's the wind, it's freedom, it's blue 💙 If you are trapped in a windless place, Then go to a place where there is wind~ 🌊 Erhai Lake, the name itself is full of poetry. It is like a sapphire inlaid on the Yunnan Plateau, exuding a desirable light. The scenery here is not only a visual feast, but also a baptism of the soul. When you stand by Erhai Lake, you are faced with a boundless blue, where the sky and the lake meet, and the boundary becomes blurred. The lake is as calm as a mirror, reflecting the blue of the sky and a few light white clouds, as if it were a mirror of the sky. The breeze blows, and ripples appear on the lake, as if someone is gently plucking the strings, playing a wonderful piece of music.
