Darinor Lake, a bird paradise

Darinor Lake, encounter a bird paradise 🌟Darinor Lake, one of the four major inland lakes in Inner Mongolia, is known as the "Bird Paradise" and is also the third largest swan lake in China. It is located in the southwest of Gongger Grassland, only 90 kilometers away from Jingpeng Town, the seat of Keqi Government. 🏞Dalinor Lake, translated into Chinese as "a lake as broad and beautiful as the sea", was called "Yuer Luo", "Fishuoer Lake", "Daerhaizi" and so on in ancient times. The lake has a circumference of over 100 kilometers and is shaped like a seahorse. The surrounding grassland rises gently, and only the terrain in the southeast corner sinks. The Mantuo Mountain stands out obliquely, adding a touch of barrier charm to it. 🏞In addition to the Darinur Lake itself, there are two sister lakes, Gangenur Lake and Duolunnur Lake. The Liangzi River, Gongger River and Shari River are like fuses, cleverly connecting these three lakes together to form a plateau lake area with an area of ​​238 square kilometers. The total water storage capacity here reaches 1.6 billion cubic meters, and the maximum water depth reaches 13 meters. 🏞To the northwest of the lake, you can also explore the ruins of Yingchang Road, the last capital of the Yuan Dynasty. On the south bank of the lake, Mantuo Mountain is quietly waiting, with Shuiying Cave and the ruins of Yuanlongxing Temple on the mountain waiting for your visit. Pingdingshan Mountain on the north bank of the lake is called Dushishan Mountain in Mongolian and Zishan Mountain in Chinese. There are rock paintings left by our ancestors on the side of the cliff, which are full of ancient legendary colors. 🌈The area has a typical temperate monsoon climate, with long and cold winters and warm and short summers. This drastic temperature change makes the climate zones here present a belt-like distribution, gradually transitioning from humid and semi-humid areas to semi-arid and arid areas from east to west. Corresponding to this is the abundant solar, thermal and wind energy resources here. 🐦Dalinor Lake is not only a treasure trove of natural scenery, but also a comprehensive national nature reserve that focuses on protecting rare birds and the various ecosystems on which they depend for survival. There are 152 bird species from 32 families and 15 orders living here, including 26 national first and second category protected birds such as the rare red-crowned crane. Spring and autumn are the seasons with the most birds. The entire lake is bustling with the singing of hundreds of birds. Come on a spontaneous trip to explore this bird paradise and feel the wonderful charm of nature! 🎉
