Blue Moon Valley Travel Guide Latest Edition 2020

Blue Moon Valley in Lijiang is not as famous as Yulong Snow Mountain and Dayan Ancient City, but it is also one of the must-see spots for many tourists. The mysterious blue water system here is moving, and you can deeply appreciate the infinite charm of nature. Here, I will share with you the detailed strategy and introduction.

Blue Moon Valley is located in the valley north of Ganhaizi at the eastern foot of Yulong Snow Mountain and south of Yunshan Ping. At first, it was not called Blue Moon Valley, but "Baishui River". In fact, it is a river flowing in the valley. The river was blocked by mountains, forming a series of connected lakes, like a crescent moon. The water turns white in rainy days, but it is dreamy and charming blue in sunny days, hence the name "Blue Moon Valley". Yulong snow mountain is reflected in.

Blue Moon Valley is a part of Yulong Snow Mountain Scenic Area, but you can go alone. For people with high evaluation, this is the best scenic spot to go to Yulong Snow Mountain Scenic Area. It takes about 1 hour to get to Blue Moon Valley by car from Old Town of Lijiang. On the way, people passing through Ganhaizi at an altitude of 3 100 meters basically get off and take photos and punch in.

If you enter Blue Moon Valley, you need to buy a mountain entrance fee of 100 yuan and a scenic bus in 20 yuan. You can't get to Blue Moon Valley directly by taxi or bus. You need to go to the starting point of Blue Moon Valley first, and then take the scenic bus to the waiting point of Yunshan Ping. You can choose to visit the Blue Moon Valley on foot here, or you can choose sightseeing bus and 50 yuan. However, I prefer walking. Blue Moon Valley is not big, and you can visit it in 2 hours.

When you look down on Blue Moon Valley from a height, you won't feel how brilliant it is, but once you walk in, you will find it as beautiful as a fairyland. There are four lakes in Blue Moon Valley, namely Yuye Lake, Jingtan Lake, Blue Moon Lake and Tingtao Lake, especially Yuye Lake, which is the most beautiful and blue of these lakes.

Compared with Yulong Snow Mountain, Blue Moon Valley has fewer tourists. Most people go to Yulong Snow Mountain by cableway, but they ignore this point. In the Blue Moon Valley, you can see the majestic Yulong Snow Mountain not far away from any angle, which is one of the reasons that attracted me to come. Although I missed the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, it was very satisfying to wait and see from a distance.

The water in the Blue Moon Valley, from the melting ice of the Yulong Snow Mountain Glacier Plateau four or five kilometers away, continuously flows here and then flows to every corner of Lijiang, nourishing this plateau city. If you have been to the "Baishuitai" in Shangri-La before, you may be surprised by this picture. It looks like a terrace from a distance. At this moment, I think Baishuitai is more suitable for use here. After all, this river is called Baishui River.

Some people say that it is like Jiuzhaigou in Sichuan, and even some pictures are more beautiful than Jiuzhaigou. Here, we can find a place very similar to Jiuzhaigou. The water quality is crystal clear, and you can clearly see the dead branches at the bottom. The blue of water under the blue sky is an indescribable blue, which will change into different blue with the change of light. The beauty is breathtaking, so it is also called "Little Jiuzhai" in Yunnan.

I remember that the Blue Moon Valley was described in the Lost Horizon written by British writer Hilton. The scene described here is particularly similar to the scene under the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, which is one of the reasons why the Blue Moon Valley got its name. Blue Moon Valley is a quiet and peaceful place, which coincides with the temperament here. The beauty here is quiet and gentle, and it is the pure land on earth that everyone yearns for.

Before I came to Lijiang, I made this one of my destinations. Now I'm really in it. In addition to the incredible, more may be the beauty of the scenery here. Blue Moon Valley is not very big. It walked slowly along the seaside promenade. In the middle of Blue Moon Lake, there is a small piece of gravel and dead wood exposed to the water. The stone is milky white, and the reflected water becomes milky white.

Every lake has a connected highland, and the connection between Blue Moon Lake and Tingtao Lake is particularly distinctive, which reminds people of a classic scene in The Journey to the West. The picture of the scenic spot where the master and the apprentice walked privately in the mountain stream is particularly similar to this one. Of course, the stills were actually taken in Jiuzhaigou, Sichuan.

Are there any protective facilities on the other side of the lake? There is only one stone road. At this time, we should pay more attention to safety. Although the water is shallow, it is actually quite deep. Inadvertently, the majestic Yulong Snow Mountain appeared in front of us, guarding this pure land on earth.
