In Blue Moon Valley, you can see the majestic Jade Dragon Snow Mountain not far away from any angle. This is one of the reasons that attracted me to come here. Although there is no Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, I am very satisfied with it.

The water in Blue Moon Valley comes from the melted ice of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain Glacier Plateau four or five kilometers away. It flows here continuously and then flows to every corner of Lijiang, nourishing this plateau city. If you have been to Shangri-La's "Baishui Terrace" before, you may be surprised to see this picture. From a distance, I think Baishui Terrace is more suitable for use here. River.

Before coming to Lijiang, I made this place one of my destinations. Now I’m really into it. In addition to being incredible, what’s more important is the beauty of the scenery here. Blue Moon Valley is not very big, so walk slowly along the promenade on the shore. In the center of Blue Moon Lake, a small piece of gravel and dead wood emerges from the water. The stone is milky white, and the reflected water turns milky white.

There are connected highlands between each lake. The junction of Lanyue Lake and Tingtao Lake is particularly distinctive, reminding people of the classic scene in "Journey to the West". The scene of the scenic spot is very similar to this one. Of course, the stills were actually taken in Jiuzhaigou, Sichuan.

There are no protective facilities on the other side of the lake. There is only one stone road. At this time, you need to pay more attention to safety. Although the water looks shallow, it is actually quite deep. Inadvertently, the majestic Jade Dragon Snow Mountain appeared in front of us, guarding this pure land on earth.
