5月6日，立夏啦！

May 6th is the beginning of summer (立夏) and is one of the traditional Chinese solar terms.

从此，“一夜薰风带暑来”“绿树阴浓夏日长”，蓦然仰首，北斗七星的斗柄指向东南，拉开了夏天的序幕。

From this day on, the weather turns hot, and the wind carries the summer heat. Trees become lush and green, and the Big Dipper constellation points towards the southeast, signaling the start of summer.

蝼蝈在田间鸣叫，奔走相告着夏日的来临，听到呼唤的蚯蚓也按捺不住掘土而出。接着，王瓜的藤蔓开始肆意攀爬生长。而吃过“立夏饭”的人们，正欢欣鼓舞地“尝鲜”“斗蛋”“称人”……尽情刷一波夏天的存在感。

The chirping of crickets and grasshoppers can be heard in the fields, announcing the arrival of summer. Earthworms, called by the call of the season, start to emerge from the soil. The vines of watermelons begin to grow rampantly. People who have had the traditional “Li Xia rice” are excited to “Chang Xian”, “Dou Dan”, “Cheng Ren” and fully embrace the presence of summer.

如果说，春是“生”的季节，那么夏就是“长”的季节。春播作物渐渐长大，夏收作物进入生长后期，冬小麦扬花灌浆，油菜接近成熟。广袤大地，万物至此皆长大。

If spring is the season of “birth”, then summer is the season of “growth”. The crops planted in spring gradually grow up, and summer crops enter the later stage of growth. Winter wheat is in the flowering and filling stage, while rapeseed is approaching maturity. On the vast land, everything grows to maturity.

北纬25度，在中国贵州南部，在苗岭山脉的崇山峻岭中，还有一处世界上面积最大的喀斯特原始森林。这里是世界同纬度上最后一块“绿宝石”——荔波，拥有“中国南方喀斯特”世界自然遗产地和“世界人与生物圈自然保护区”两张世界级名片。

At 25 degrees north latitude in southern Guizhou, China, in the towering mountains of the Miao Mountains, there is still the largest karst primitive forest in the world. Here is the last “green gemstone” at the same latitude in the world, that is Libo, with two world-class name cards: the Natural World Heritage——South China Karst, and the World Man and Biosphere Reserve.

荔波小七孔古桥

30万年的用力生长，早已为这里铺上了极致的绿色。百年的小七孔古桥上，是厚重的绿；仙气飘飘的卧龙潭上，是热情的绿；蜿蜒曲折的鸳鸯湖上，是繁盛的绿……

With 300,000 years of vigorous growth, the place has already been covered in the ultimate greenery. On the ancient bridge of Xiaoqikong, there is a heavy green; on the mystical Dragon Pool, there is a passionate green. On the winding and twisting Yuanyang Lake, there is a thriving green.

当穿越时空的清凉吹来，还有比这里，更有夏天的感觉吗？

When the cool breeze of a thousand years passes by, is there any other place that feels more like summer than here?

总要来一趟荔波吧！在万物可人的夏天。

You have to come to Libo at least once, in the pleasant summer season.
