千里共婵娟

2009-09-25T23:52:00.000-07:00

明月幾時有？把酒問青天。不知天上宮闕，今夕是何年。
我欲乘風歸去，唯恐瓊樓玉宇，高處不勝寒。起舞弄清影，何似在人間。
轉朱閣，低綺戶，照無眠。不應有恨，何事長向別時圓？
人有悲歡離合，月有陰晴圓缺，此事古難全。但願人長久，千里共嬋娟。

　　　　　　　　　　 ~ 蘇軾．〈水調歌頭〉

語譯：月亮是從何時開始有的？我舉起酒杯，仰問上天。不知仙人住的天宮，今夜是哪一年的中秋了。我也想乘風歸去天上的仙府，卻又害怕會抵受不住高處的冷寒。我還是就待在原處，隨著月光年體沉醉起舞吧。

月光移照朱紅華美的樓閣，低低地照進雕花的門窗裡去，照著無法入眠的愁人。月亮對人間不該有什麼怨恨吧，為什麼總是在人們離別、孤獨的時候特別亮、特別圓？人生本來就聚聚散散，月亮從來就是圓圓缺缺，想要永恆的相聚圓滿，自古就不可得。雖然相隔分離，但只要人事平安，依舊可以跨過千里青天，共享美麗的月光。

Apollo Landing Sites

Apollo 11 Extravehicular Activity (EVA)

On July 20, 1969, man landed on the Moon and took steps that would inspire future generations and open the heavens to exploration. After spending four days in a spacecraft on the way to the lunar surface, astronaut Neil Armstrong famously announced, “The Eagle has landed.” Shortly afterwards, Armstrong and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin descended from the Lunar Module and began humankind’s exploration of the moon’s surface.
Armstrong and Aldrin landed in a dark patch of the lunar surface called the Sea of Tranquility, one of the Moon’s maria. These dark regions, which can be seen with the naked eye from Earth, were named maria by early explorers after the Latin word for seas. (The singular form is mare, pronounced “ma-rei”.) The relatively smooth surface of the maria allowed for good radio communication with the Earth and provided a nice, flat site for the first lunar landing.

Apollo 12 Extravehicular Activity (EVA)

On November 19, 1969, the crew of Apollo 12 executed a pinpoint landing on the lunar surface, setting their spacecraft down a few hundred meters from the rim of Surveyor Crater. The main goal of the mission was to collect pieces of the Surveyor III spacecraft, which had landed in this particular crater 31 months earlier. Pinpoint landing was critical to this goal, and astronauts Pete Conrad and Al Bean performed it flawlessly.
Dick Gordon, the command module pilot, joined Conrad and Bean on the all-Navy crew of Apollo 12. With the weight of making the first historical landing covered by the Apollo 11 crew before them, the Apollo 12 astronauts felt free to joke and banter as they accomplished their tasks.
Pinpoint landing was but one of many improvements made in this mission over its predecessor. The astronauts explored the lunar surface on two extravehicular activity (EVA) periods rather than only one, and during these EVAs the Apollo 12 astronauts deployed several more scientific experiments, gathered more lunar rock samples, and ventured further from the Lunar Module, giving scientists a wealth of new information about the landing site and the Moon in general.

Apollo 14 Extravehicular Activity (EVA)

On February 5, 1971, the crew of Apollo 14 touched down on the lunar surface in the Fra Mauro formation near Cone Crater. It was the second attempt to land at this site. Originally, Apollo 13 had been slated to land at Fra Mauro and Apollo 14 was to explore a site near Littrow Crater. The Apollo 13 accident had altered these plans.
Fra Mauro was a site of extreme interest for lunar scientists. It sits on the edge of the lava-filled Imbrium Basin, which is the largest lunar mare associated with an ancient impact event. A basin the size of the Mare Imbrium could only be created by an impact of truly gigantic proportions—such an impact would have been a key event in lunar history. The hilly Fra Mauro formation appears to have been formed by ejecta from this enormous collision. If this interpretation was correct, scientists would be able to date the formation of the Imbrium Basin by collecting samples of the Fra Mauro bedrock.
Rock samples from Fra Mauro were also likely to refine our understanding of the early solar system, a time when the Earth, Moon, and other planets were still forming. On Earth, the dynamic environment of plate tectonics, volcanism, and erosion have long since eradicated this early geologic history, but ancient rocks on the moon have been well preserved. Apollo 14 was an opportunity for geologists to go hunting for some of the oldest rocks ever dated.
The Apollo 14 crew was thrilled to be on the Moon. The occasion was particularly significant for the commander, Alan Shepard, who had been the first American in space but had then been grounded after his brief flight due to an inner-ear disorder. After a decade on the ground and corrective surgery he was given command of Apollo 14, joining Stuart Roosa and Edgar Mitchell on the mission. At Fra Mauro, Shepard and Mitchell deployed several scientific experiments and made a three kilometer geological traverse on foot near Cone Crater. This traverse showed that astronauts were physically capable of traveling long distances on the lunar surface, thereby paving the way for the longer and more complicated missions to come.

Apollo 15 Extravehicular Activity (EVA)

Apollo 15, which touched down near Hadley Rille on July 8, 1971, was a large leap forward for the Apollo program. The earlier missions were largely engineering challenges designed to achieve the goal of getting men safely to and from the Moon. Having shown that this could be done, NASA was ready to move on to missions that featured more extensive scientific exploration and experimentation. Apollo 15 was the first of the so-called “J-missions”, which were characterized by longer extravehicular activity (EVA) periods, landing sites with complex geology, and an increased number of scientific experiments.
Unlike previous Apollo landing sites, which had each contained a single geological point of interest, the Apollo 15 site was chosen because it contained a variety of interesting destinations to visit and understand. There was Hadley Rille, a sinuous lava channel winding 100-km through the lunar surface; the Apennine Front, a sizable mountain range overlooking a mare plain; and Hadley Delta, a high mountain peak.
Apollo 15 astronauts shattered the record for extravehicular activity (EVA) time. By logging 18 and one half hours outside the Lunar Module in three EVAs, the astronauts nearly doubled the traverse time of the Apollo 14 mission. The scientific payload carried and the number of rock samples returned were also nearly double those of Apollo 14.
Apollo 15 also featured the debut of the Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV). This four-wheel-drive dune buggy was a great step forwards in surface mobility—it allowed the astronauts to travel much farther from the Lunar Module and carry many more tools and samples. With the LRV, the astronauts could drive several kilometers to visit the diverse geological objectives at the landing site.

Apollo 16 Extravehicular Activity (EVA)

As the time approached for the Apollo 16 Lunar Module to descend from lunar orbit to the Moon’s surface, Ken Mattingly, the Command Service Module pilot, found that the backup gimbals (mechanical devices that allow rotation in multiple axes) in the Command Service Module were faulty. These gimbals controlled the direction that the Command Service Module rockets fired, and without them, the crew would be forced to use the Lunar Module engines to return to Earth. Mission rules dictated that, in this scenario, the lunar landing would be canceled. However, after six long hours of troubleshooting and analysis by engineers in Houston, Mission Control made the call that the margins for safety were just barely adequate and they gave Apollo 16 the “Go” for lunar landing.
On April 21, 1972, exploration of the lunar surface continued as Apollo 16 touched down in the Descartes highlands. Unlike previous landing sites, which had contained clues about the historical period during which the maria (the dark, lava filled plains on the Moon’s surface) had formed, Descartes was chosen as a site to study the origins of the lunar highlands.
Of the potential sites in the lunar highlands that had been considered, Descartes was chosen because it appeared to be the an area with much volcanic activity. There was consensus among geologists at the time that the landing site contained typical examples of viscous lava flows that had piled up to create the hilly formations in the area, and some scientists had even gone so far as to chart various flow fronts and cinder cones. Accordingly, Charles Duke and John Young had been thoroughly trained in terrestrial volcanic analogs. Therefore, it was quite a shock when, soon after Apollo 16 landed, Duke and Young reported that they could see no evidence of volcanic rocks at the landing site.
Duke and Young were able to build on the experience of prior Apollo astronauts to help them complete the longest lunar extravehicular activity (EVA) period yet. With the help of the Lunar Roving Vehicle, the astronauts covered several kilometers of highland territory and brought back the second-largest collection of samples of all the missions, including the largest rock taken from the Moon.

Apollo 17 Extravehicular Activity (EVA)

On December 11, 1972, astronauts Harrison H. (Jack) Schmitt and Eugene Cernan stepped onto the lunar surface as part of the Apollo program's last mission to the Moon. (Ronald Evans, the other member of the crew, stayed in lunar orbit as the Command Module pilot.) In a few short years, humans had gone from achieving President Kennedy’s goal of landing a man on the Moon to supporting a prolonged three-day stay on the lunar surface during which the astronauts carried out a complex geology field campaign.
The Apollo 17 mission was an exciting and challenging end to the Apollo program. Schmitt and Cernan set down in the Taurus-Littrow valley; a site with tremendous geological variety. It contained dark, potentially volcanic craters surrounded by soaring mountains that were formed when large units of bedrock were displaced during the catastrophic meteor impact that formed the Serenitatis Basin. Were the dark craters evidence of recent volcanic activity on the moon? How old were the massifs that surrounded the valley? The astronauts would sample each of these features to answer these questions and hopefully piece together the valley’s complicated history.
Apollo 17 set many records in the Apollo program. This mission’s astronauts brought back the largest bulk of lunar samples, explored the most territory, and spent the longest time outside the Lunar Module on extravehicular activities (EVAs). This was also the only mission on which a professional geologist, Schmitt, was able to explore the lunar surface as a field geologist, thereby greatly increasing the chance for “opportunistic science” to take place.

*Note: Apollo 13 was supposed to land in the Fra Mauro area. An explosion on board forced Apollo 13 to circle the moon without landing. The Fra Mauro site was reassigned to Apollo 14.

Blue Moons
There are also months with two full moons. The second full moon in a month is known as a blue Moon. Because this happens fairly infrequently, it has resulted in the expression "once in a blue moon."

Months without a full moon
There are months in which no full moons occur. For example, there was a full moon at 18:25 universal time on Feb. 28, 1991. This means there was no February full moon in east Asia and the Pacific, where it was already March. Years in which February lacked a full moon are 1809, 1847, 1866, 1885, 1915, 1934, 1961, 1999, 2018, 2037, 2067, 2094 (Meeus 1995, Odenwald)

Moon rise times
The New Moon always rises at sunrise.
The first quarter Moon rises at noon.
The Full Moon rises at sunset.
The last quarter Moon rises at midnight.
Moonrise takes place about 50 minutes later each day than the day before.

Peace & Tranquility

2009-02-14T00:38:00.000-08:00

The "Island of Peace" or Pulau Aman (in Malay) is a small island in Penang that is
home to a traditional Malay village. Situated on an island covering an area of about
115-hectare, the place is the gateway to tranquility and serenity.

As an idyllic fishing village with a population of only three hundred, the majority of
people on Pulau Aman are elderly folks and laughing, fun loving children. Life on the
island is simple in traditional ways with man and nature of co-existing in harmony
with one other. Here the warmth of the sun is only rivaled by the warm friendliness
of the locals.

Jerejak Island, Penang -- Alcatraz of Malaysia

2008-12-31T18:29:00.000-08:00

Known as the Alcatraz of Malaysia, Pulau Jerejak or Jerejak Island is a 362 hectare island located off the southeastern tip of Penang, and a short boat ride from Bayan Lepas jetty. It's an the only island in Penang rich with ancient history and preserved flora and fauna.

The History
This island though is not as famous as compared to other islands in Malaysia, but has had its fair share of
auspicious historical events. Francis Light, Founder of Penang first step foot in Pulau Jerejak in the early 1786 before heading on to Penang. 11 years later in 1797, it was Colonel Arthur Wellesley who proposed Jerejak as the possible site for Fort Cornwallis. It was known that the idea of establishing a military post in Jerejak Island was to offer protection to a new township called Jamestown, which was to
be set up in present-day Bayan Lepas.

This plan did not materialize as George Town was starting to become a profitable port and it soon became unnecessary to establish Jamestown or have a military facility in that location. Jerejak was deserted after that. It was only during 1910 that saw some activities at Jerejak Island. The island was made a heath quarantine centre for immigrants planning to go to the main island to work. Penang at that time started to experiencing economic growth and this has cause the island to be flooded with immigrant. A hospital for patients with Tuberculosis was later built in 1930s and is located at the eastern part of the island.

From 1943 to 1944, Jerejak Island was made a submarine base by the Germans. In the book entitled history of the USA Naval Operations in World War Two, S.E. Morison wrote that German U-boats sunk about 18 Russian ships in the Indian Ocean during World War II. A memorial is located in the island dedicated to the crew members of the Imperial Russian Navy who died when their cruiser Zhemchug was sunk by the cruiser Emden of the Kaiserliche Marine in the Battle of Penang. However, the total amount of bodies that was buried on that site still remains a mystery.

Pulau Jerejak was later turn into a rehabilitation centre from 1969 to 1993. Jerejak at this time was known as the "Alcatraz of Malaysia" due to resemblance of The Alcatraz prison that was situated on a deserted island. After a few incidents of riots and escape of inmates, the prison was closed on 13 August 1993. In its course of closing down the prison, over 900 detainees were transferred to prisons in Johor.

Present
As an effort by the state government to promote Jerejak as a popular tourist
destination, a beautiful resort was built on the island. Jerejak Resort & Spa provides interesting gateway for those who prefer a relaxing atmosphere with many outdoor activities. Some includes rock climbing, mountain biking or take to nature with fishing, jungle trekking or even camping under the stars.

梦·云南”是一台综合的舞台剧，它突破了以往剧作节目只有歌舞的局限，采用百老汇的表现形式，把民族文化始终贯穿进好莱坞式的精彩情节中，融马戏、杂技、幻术、魔术等于一身。再次，顶级舞台声光电特技也是“梦·云南”的一大特色，360度的旋转舞台，数百万元的强效法国音响，数百盏摇头电脑灯，空中飞行器等，都将一个美国退伍老兵与云南各族人民结下深厚友情改编的动人故事完美展现。既突出了云南民族艺术灵魂第一次与世界顶级艺术完美臻合，更能给现场观众带来震撼心灵的雷霆风暴。

昆明。金马碧鸡牌坊

2008-12-02T05:49:00.000-08:00

昆明是一个历史悠久的城市，远在三万年前的旧石器时代就有人类居住。随着历史的进步和时代的变迁，昆明留下许多文物古迹和人文景观，其中，金马碧鸡坊就是著名一景。该坊始建于明朝宣德年间，至今已有近四百年的历史。金马壁鸡坊历史悠久，民族特色突出，被誉为昆明的象征。

金马碧鸡坊位于昆明金碧路中段的金马、碧鸡坊，始建于明朝宣德年间，历史上曾有“金碧交辉”之说。高12米，宽18米，具有昆明民俗特色，雕梁画栋，精美绝伦，东坊临金马山而名为金马坊，西坊靠壁鸡山而名为碧鸡坊。北与纪念赛典赤的“忠爱坊”相配，合称“品字三坊”，成为昆明闹市胜景；南与建于南诏的东西寺塔相映，显示了昆明古老的文明。

　　金马碧鸡坊的独特之处，在于某个特定的时候，会出现“金碧交辉”的奇景。就是有那么一天，太阳将落未落，金色的余辉从西边照射碧鸡坊，它的倒影投到东面街上；同时，月亮则刚从东方升起，银色的光芒照射金马坊，将它的倒影投到西边街面上；两个牌坊的影子，渐移渐近，最后互相交接。这就是“金碧交辉”。相传，清道光年间有一年，中秋之日恰逢秋分。晴空一碧，万里无云。傍晚，许多群众在三市街口等待，到时，果真两坊影子见于街面，不一会靠拢相交，至此，日落月升，交辉奇景逐步消失。

　　据说，由于地球、月亮、太阳运转的角度关系，这样的奇景，要６０年才能出现一次。而这种奇景的设计，反映了古代云南各族人民把数学、天文学和建筑学有机地结合在一起的高度智慧。可惜的是，由于极左路线的影响，两坊于１０年动乱中被拆毁。有希望的是，如今万物复苏，已定为昆明市徽，金马碧鸡坊将重建，金马碧鸡的雕塑也拟兴立。秀丽的滇池之滨，奔腾奋进的金马、象征吉祥如意的碧鸡将在云南人民的心灵中闪射出新的光辉。

云南。石林

2008-11-29T22:20:00.000-08:00

石林，地处滇东高原腹地，东经103°10″—103°40″、北纬24°30″—25°03″，位于石林彝族自治县境内，距省会昆明市70余公里 , “冬无严寒，夏无酷暑，四季如春”气候属亚热带低纬度高原山地季风气候，年平均温度约16℃，是一个集自然风光、民族风情、休闲度假、科学考察为一体的著名大型综合旅游区。

石林以喀斯特景观为主，以“雄、奇、险、秀、幽、奥、旷”著称，具有世界上最奇特的喀斯特地貌（岩溶地貌）景观，以形成历史久远、类型齐全、规模宏大、发育完整，被誉为“天下第一奇观”、“造型地貌天然博物馆”，在世界地学界享有盛誉。

大约在2亿多年以前，这里是一片汪洋大海，沉积了许多厚厚的大石灰岩。经过了后来的地壳构造运动，岩石露出了地面。约在200万年以前，由于石灰岩的溶解作用，石柱彼此分离，又经过常年的风雨剥蚀，形成了今天这种千资百态的石林。石林地区，奇峰怪石，平地挺起。有的矗立如林，有的峻拔如墙。有的石峰高达三四十米，也有的只有几米。天晴时，石峰呈灰白色，下雨时则变为赫黑色。

云南。九乡

2008-11-23T23:08:00.000-08:00

九乡是国家重点风景名胜区，是云南省新兴的以溶洞景观为主、溶洞外自然风光、人文景观、民族风情为一体的综合性风景名胜区。九乡位于宜良县九乡彝族回族自治乡境内，这里气候温和，年平均气温14.6˚C，冬无严寒、夏无酷暑，气温与昆明市区相当。

九乡南距石林仅22公里，与石林景区共同形成“地上看石林，地下游九乡”的喀斯特立体景观。九乡拥有上百座大小溶洞，为国内规模最大、数量最多的洞穴群落体系之一。

荫翠峡——因两岸植被繁盛荫蔽河道而得名“荫翠”，荫翠峡还有一个俗称叫情人谷，据说，情人谷是过去九乡彝族男女青年对唱情歌的地方。届时，男的在左岸，女的在右岸，对歌对到一起的，就从横在峡谷的树上跨过峡谷走到一起。

关于九乡的形成，据国际国内洞穴科学家考察后论证：九乡溶洞群发育于6亿年前古老的震旦纪灯影组浅海沉积和灰白色含硅质条带的白云岩中。专家们认为这是一个非稳定断裂的、溶蚀与浸蚀迭加的岩溶洞穴系统。

卧龙洞——洞中双飞瀑高达30米，枯水季节流量为2-3个立方米/秒，洪水季节两瀑合二为一，如一条巨型黄龙，从悬崖上訇然而下，难分雌雄。

昆明。圆通寺

2008-11-08T06:57:00.000-08:00

圆通寺位于昆明市区内的圆通街，与昆明动物园毗连，是昆明最古老的佛教寺院之一。从唐时南昭国在此建“补陀罗寺”算起，已由1200多年的建寺历史。同时，它也是现在昆明市内最大的寺院，在中国西南地区和东南亚一带都享有盛名。云南省和昆明市的佛教协会都设在这里。

“圆通胜境”牌坊。这座牌坊是吴三桂在清朝康熙七年，也就是1668年命人修建的。原来，圆通寺的山门就在这牌坊处。吴三桂命人修这座牌坊时，将山门移到现在所在的地方。牌坊上部的木雕与下部的石刻融为一体，群龙在彩云间翻滚，时隐时现，狮虎在高山深涧，或奔或卧，栩栩如生。

圆通寺以造园手法建寺，青山、碧水、彩鱼、白桥、红亭、朱殿、彩廊交相辉映，景色如画，是全国重点佛教寺庙之一。寺宇坐北朝南，富丽堂皇，整个寺院以圆通宝殿为中心，前有一池，两侧设抄手回廊绕池接通对厅，形成水榭式神殿和池塘院落的独特风格。殿内供奉有清光绪年间精塑三世佛坐像，大殿正中两根高达10余米的立柱上，各塑有一条彩龙，四壁还塑有五百罗汉像，均堪称中国佛寺中的上乘之作。

云南。昆明市

2008-11-03T06:48:00.000-08:00

昆明地处云贵高原中部，位于东经102度10分至103度40分，北纬24度23分至26度22分，东西最大横距140千米，南北最大纵距220千米，城区距首都北京2100千米（航空线），南达中越边境515千米，西抵中缅边境876千米，西南至中老边境906千米。

　　市中心海拔1,891米。南濒滇池，三面环山。属于低纬度高原山地季风气候，由于受印度洋西南暖湿气流的影响，日照长、霜期短、年平均气温15℃。气候温和，夏无酷暑，冬不严寒，四季如春，气候宜人，是极负盛名的“春城”。每年的12月到来年的3月，一群群躲避北方寒风的红嘴鸥，万里迢迢地从遥远的西伯利亚贝加尔湖飞来，落栖在昆明城中的盘龙江、翠湖、滇池等水域。

　　昆明市域总面积约21111平方公里，其中市区面积约249平方公里(2007)。总人口608万。全省26个主要民族在昆明都有居住。昆明是中国首批历史文化名城、云南省省会昆明，是云南政治、经济、文化、科技、教育、商贸、旅游、信息、金融中心和交通、通讯枢纽，是中国内地和西南地区通向东南亚、南亚各国的一级口岸城市。昆明市内交通发达，昆明市机动车数量即将突破100万，人均机动车拥有量居全国第二。

昆明人自古就有爱花、惜花、养花、赠花的习俗，在这座城市里，不论您在公园里、大路旁、小巷内、宅院中，一年四季都能看到各种盛开的鲜花。迄今，昆明地区栽种的花卉已达460多种，山茶、玉兰、杜鹃和报春为昆明四大名花，山茶为昆明市市花。近年来，昆明人利用良好的自然资源和环境条件，大力发展花卉栽培业，每天能将大批五彩缤纷的各种鲜花销往内地、沿海和国外。随着昆明花卉外销量的不断增大，昆明“花都”的美名也将斐声海外。

昆明。西山龙门。滇池

2008-11-01T07:27:00.000-07:00

昆明西山森林公园濒临滇池西岸，距昆明市中心15公里。西山又称碧鸡山。北起碧鸡关，南达灰湾，由碧鸡山、华亭山、太华山、太平山、罗汉山等山峰组成，由北向南逶迤升高，海拔约2507.2米，最高的罗汉山高出滇池水面约620多米。
　　西山森林公园峰峦起伏，林木苍翠，百鸟争鸣，涧堑流泉，云蒸霞蔚。远眺西山群峰，既象一尊庞大的睡佛，又似一个仰卧的少女，所以，西山称为“卧佛山 ”，昆明人又称她为“睡美人”。山中幽篁碧翠，浓荫垂翳，清涧流泉，琤琮和鸣。明嘉靖年间谪滇诗人杨慎在《云南山川志》中赞美西山“苍崖万丈，绿水千寻，月印澄波，云横绝顶，滇中一佳境也。”琉璃飞檐，雕梁画栋的华亭寺、太华寺、三清阁等古刹殿宇，掩映于碧鸡山茂林修竹深处。沿山盘旋的游路，曲崖徊峰的石磴，四时不断的山花，山间幽静的曲径，奇峰嶙峋的怪石，万丈崚嶒的峭壁，雄奇峥嵘的楼阁，宏伟中见清秀，明净中见幽静。清人李堂阶题西山联：“南浦绿波西山气爽；春风落日秋水长天。”西山还是佛教、道教胜地。每年农历三月初三，民间还有“耍西山”，对唱山歌小调的传统风俗习惯。陈毅同志曾赋三言长诗《昆明游西山》赞道："昆明城，三月三，数万人，游西山。华亭怪，太华寒，龙门险，滇池宽。叹浩渺，嘉空阔……车如潮，人如海，清明游，相随攀。

滇池，位于昆明市区西南面，是个烟波浩渺风姿秀逸的高原湖泊。它是受第三纪喜马拉雅山运动的影响而形成的高原石灰岩断层陷落湖。湖面海拔高度为1886米，湖面南北长39公里，东西间最大宽度为13．5公里，平均宽度约8公里，湖岸线长约为200公里，湖面积约为318平方公里，湖水最大深度为8米，平均深度为5．5米，蓄水量约为15．7亿立方米。在云南所有湖泊中，它的面积最大，在全国众多淡水湖泊中，位于鄱阳湖、洞庭湖、太湖、洪泽湖、巢湖之后居第六位。
　　滇池四面群山连绵，东有金马山，西有碧鸡山，北有蛇山（又名长虫山），南有白鹤山，这些连绵起伏的山峦形成了昆明坝子的天然屏障。在长约十百公里的湖岸线上，分布着昆明、呈贡、晋城、昆阳、海口等大小城镇以及大观楼、海埂、西山、观音山、白鱼口、郑和公园、牛恋乡、石寨山滇王墓、盘龙寺、柳林、官渡金塔等风景名胜。

春城。大观楼

2008-10-28T23:55:00.000-07:00

大观楼位于近华浦南面，三重檐琉璃戗角木结构建筑。清康熙三十五年（1696年）始建二层楼宇。[乾隆年间，孙髯撰写长联，由名士陆树堂书写刊刻，大观楼因长联而成中国名楼。

　　道光八年（1828年）修葺大观楼，增建为三层。咸丰三年（1853年）咸丰帝题“拔浪千层”匾，咸丰七年（1857年）长联与楼毁于兵燹。同治五年（1866年）重建，复遭大水，光绪九年（1883年）再修。光绪十四年（1888年）赵藩重以楷书刊刻长联。一九八三年大观楼公布为云南省重点文物保护单位。

　　大观楼长联：
　　五百里滇池，奔来眼底。披襟岸帻，喜茫茫空阔无边！看：东骧神骏，西翥灵仪，北走蜿蜒，南翔缟素。高人韵士，何妨选胜登临，趁蟹屿螺洲，梳裹就风鬟雾鬓；更苹天苇地，点缀些翠羽丹霞。莫孤负：四围香稻，万顷晴沙，九夏芙蓉，三春杨柳。
　　数千年往事，注到心头。把酒凌虚，叹滚滚英雄谁在？想：汉习楼船，唐标铁柱，宋挥玉斧，元跨革囊。伟烈丰功，费尽移山心力，尽珠帘画栋，卷不及暮雨朝云；便断碣残碑，都付与苍烟落照。只赢得：几杵疏钟，半江渔火，两行秋雁，一枕清霜。
