Tourists stroll and cycle around the spot, where limpid waters, lush mountains and blooming flowers combine in weaving a picturesque scene.
The delicate blossom seen floating there is Ottelia acuminata, an aquatic plant endemic to China, which is known to have extremely strict water quality requirements. It demands high water transparency, cleanliness and calcium content, and survives only in unpolluted waters, serving as a reliable natural indicator of aquatic ecological health.
Its large-scale revival vividly testifies to Erhai Lake's remarkable ecological restoration achievements.
China's Ecological and Environmental Code, enacted on Saturday, stipulates nationwide protection and restoration of river and lake ecosystems, providing solid legal support for systematic water ecological governance across the country.
As China advances its Beautiful China initiative, this code is expected to strengthen rule-of-law guarantees for ecological protection and provide fresh impetus for the country's green and low-carbon transition.
In the early 1990s, agricultural pollution worsened Erhai Lake's water quality, causing frequent blue-green algae outbreaks. A severe algae bloom hit the lake in 1996, leaving the water turbid and smelly. As the environment degraded, Ottelia acuminata nearly disappeared from the lake.
Thanks to years of targeted ecological protection and restoration efforts, the lake's water quality has improved steadily, maintaining an excellent Grade II standard from January to June 2026, and creating favorable conditions for the return of Ottelia acuminata.
Official data show that the plant's coverage on Erhai Lake has surged from 90,000 square meters in 2021 to 950,000 square meters in 2026, marking a remarkable ecological recovery.
The improved water environment has also brought tangible economic benefits, turning the lake's ecological advantages into a sustainable industry. From lake ecology to farm cultivation and consumer products, Ottelia acuminata's dual ecological and economic value has been fully realized.
In 2018, environmental worker Zhong Lan noticed the edible plant's great potential for water purification and industrial development. With support from local authorities and Shanghai Jiao Tong University in eastern China, she started a company and built a professional research base in 2024, developing standardized planting techniques that enable high-yield, repeated harvests and offering jobs for local villagers.
Villager Li Xinyuan, who quit Ottelia acuminata cultivation years ago due to low profits, resumed planting in 2023 and earns a stable monthly salary of 4,500 yuan (about 663 U.S. dollars) at the base.
His fellow villager Du Hongquan earned over 100,000 yuan last year from growing the plant and has more than doubled his planting area this year. "The base takes full charge of sales, so we can plant without any worries," Du said.
Eryuan County, the source of Erhai Lake, now has more than 200 hectares of Ottelia acuminata plantation area, creating numerous jobs yearly. The plant has been developed into a diverse range of products like tea, plant-based coffee and cookies.
"I used to think it was exclusive to Yunnan, but I can try it elsewhere too," said a tourist surnamed Ai after tasting the plant at a hotpot restaurant in Hangzhou, east China's Zhejiang Province.
The beautiful lakeside scenery at Erhai has also boosted local tourism. In 2025, Dali received over 120 million tourist visits, attracting visitors to enjoy lake views and experience local Bai ethnic culture, with 407,000 long-term visitors.
Last month, the State Council issued a plan for building a Beautiful China during the 15th Five-Year Plan period (2026-2030), setting out the overall requirements, targets, key tasks and major projects for comprehensively advancing this initiative.
According to the plan, China will achieve overall improvement in ecological and environmental quality and make significant progress toward building a Beautiful China by 2030, with green production and lifestyles largely established and the carbon peaking target reached on schedule.
。 中新社天津8月21日电 题：天津机器人“海陆空”并进 细分赛道全球觅新机 作者 周亚强 孙翼飞 水下机器人潜入海底为码头桩基“把脉”，重载AGV驮着数百吨设备在工厂穿行，无人机全自主巡检系统在城市上空守护电网安全……天津机器人正从海、陆、空三个维度出击，于全球细分赛道中寻觅新机。 21日，天津朗誉机器人公司车间内，一批厚度仅420毫米、却能最高负重600吨的重载AGV正加紧组装，即将发往海外。作为全球单车载重纪录保持者，它成了天津“陆上”机器人出口的一张名片。 “海外客户最看重稳定性和承载能力。我们的产品在港口、矿山等复杂工况下仍能长时间连续作业，目前出口已拓展至22个国家和地区。”天津朗誉机器人有限公司董事长任志勇告诉中新社记者，企业近期拿下全球农机巨头约翰迪尔的批量采购合同，海外订单已排至数月之后。 正在北京举行的2026世界机器人大会上，天津近10家企业组团亮相。天津海关数据显示，今年上半年，天津机器人产品出口额达10.8亿元(人民币，下同)，同比增长487.9%；前7月进一步攀升至12.9亿元，增幅达489.9%。 支撑这一增速的，是天津机器人企业在海、陆、空三条赛道上的精耕细作。
B | 上述重载移动机器人正走向世界，中国造“大力士”在陆上服务海外客户。
C | 再看海上赛道，深之蓝公司的消费级水下助推器已占据全球约六成市场份额，累计销量突破15万台，业务覆盖70多个国家和地区；工业级水下机器人产品广泛应用于海上风电桩基检测、海底管线巡检、水下结构安全评估等领域。 聚焦空中赛道，云圣智能的全自主无人机巡检系统已落地国内数十个城市，服务于城市治理、生态保护、应急消防等领域，并逐步向海外延伸；一飞智控的无人机编队则在全球多个城市夜空亮相，成为流动的“科技名片”。 近日出台的《天津市智能机器人产业创新发展行动方案(2026—2028年)》提出，到2028年底全市智能机器人产业核心产值突破200亿元，明确巩固“海—陆—空”特色优势，重点发展深海探测、水下作业、港口智能装卸等场景，打造智能机器人出海总部基地。 “天津的港口、海洋工程和制造业基础，为机器人提供了别处难以复制的应用场景。”天津社会科学院数字经济研究所所长、研究员王立岩表示，企业在家门口就能完成从研发、测试到出口的全链条验证，这是天津“海陆空”三线并进的底气所在。“这种‘小切口、深打井’的路径，正是中国制造嵌入全球高端产业链的务实选择。
