Dreaming of Haiyan Nanbei Lake, encountering poetic dwelling between mountains and waters

In the gentle water towns of Jiangnan, there lies a place like a paradise on earth—Haiyan Nanbei Lake. It is like a pearl carefully carved by time, quietly resting between heaven and earth, exuding unique elegance and charm.

Stepping onto this land, the first thing that catches the eye is the vast expanse of lake water. The water flows gently, like a pair of bright eyes of the earth, clear and bright. On the lake surface, lotus leaves spread out like green oil-paper umbrellas, providing shade for the creatures in the water. A breeze stirs, the lotus leaves sway lightly, creating layers of green waves that complement the shimmering lake water. Occasionally, a few fallen leaves drift onto the lake, rippling small circles, as if the lake is softly singing the ballad of time.

In the distance, the mountains roll on endlessly, like green waves rising from the earth. The trees on the mountains are lush, changing colors with the seasons. In spring, mountain flowers bloom brilliantly, dotting the green hills like a splendid tapestry; in summer, the green trees provide shade, dressing the mountains in a cool, elegant garment; in autumn, the maple leaves blaze like fire, dyeing the entire mountain in a brilliant red glow; in winter, the mountains are wrapped in silver, resembling a hermit cloaked in white, serene and solemn.

By the lakeside, willows sway gently, their strands dancing with the wind like a maiden’s flowing hair. The willow branches lightly brush the lake surface, as if whispering softly to the water. Walking along the lakeside, the winding path beneath your feet resembles the veins of time, leading people deeper into this landscape of mountains and waters. In the distance, a stone bridge spans the lake, its simple and elegant structure harmonizing perfectly with the natural scenery. On the bridge, people stroll in small groups, some pausing to admire the view, others chatting quietly, adding a touch of human warmth to this tranquil landscape.

Here, time seems to slow down. You can find a quiet corner, sit peacefully by the lake, watch the clouds roll by, listen to the water lapping the shore, and feel the tranquility and peace far from the hustle and bustle. When the sunset’s afterglow spills over the lake, the entire Nanbei Lake is dyed golden, the shimmering surface scattered with tiny pieces of gold, breathtakingly beautiful.

Haiyan Nanbei Lake is not just a landscape of mountains and waters, but a sentiment, a love and longing for nature and life. Here, you can forget the troubles of the world, embrace the mountains and waters, converse with nature, and rediscover the peace and purity deep within your heart.
