Yunnan in winter is not all covered with white snow, but has kinds of colorful scenery, which well decorates this winter.

Snow scenery full of poetry, a landscape scroll composed by winter cherry blossoms, green trees, blue sky and clear water, metasequoia that melts with clean sky, the first sunshine over Yulong Snow Mountain in the morning, willow catkins that flutter in the light, elegant reeds, clean Cheng Lake as a mirror, starry sky above Yangzong Lake... Which scenery of colorful Yunnan in this warm winter could move your heart?
