烟柳大道 Willow Avenue

“洒渔烟柳”相传是彝汉先民为了护堤保埂，在洒渔河两岸世代广植柳树而自然形成的景观。在明清时期与“龙洞吸月”、“恩波蜃影”、“宝山环翠”、“凤岭飞霞”、“珠泉涌碧”、“雨公云鬟”、“利济浮光”并列，成为昭阳八景。烟柳大道全长17.8公里，柳树多达1500余棵，大部分已越百年树龄。洒渔烟柳或苍翠穹劲，或旁移斜出，树型各异、形态万千。

According to legend, "Willows by the Sayu River" formed into a natural landscape because the ancestors of the Yi and Han people planted willows on both sides of the Sayu River in order to protect the river bank. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, it became one of the Eight Scenes in Zhaoyang, Yunnan Province with "Moon in the Dragon Cave", "Reflection Mirroring the Enbo Tower", "Trees in Baoshan Mountain", "Clouds in Phoenix Mountain", "Pearl Spring Water", "Clouds in Rainy Mountain", "Willows by the Mother River". Willow Avenue is 17.8 kilometers long with more than 1,500 willow trees, most of which are over 100 years old. Willows along the Sayu River are lush or straight or tilted out with different species and various shapes.
