What are the two dreamy and unpopular attractions in Lijiang, Yunnan?

Lijiang has always been a popular destination for tourism in Yunnan. It has the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain covered with snow all year round, the prosperous Dayan Ancient City, Shuhe Ancient Town, the relatively primitive Baisha Ancient Town, and the picturesque scenery. Lashihai.

The above are all popular attractions. In fact, there are many unpopular check-in spots in Lijiang. Most tourists will not go, or they do not know these places at all. Qingxi Reservoir near Dayan Ancient City and Lover's Lake near Dongba Valley are such places.

Qingxi Reservoir is about 4.5 kilometers away from the Big Water Wheel, the iconic landmark of Dayan Ancient City. You can overlook the Yulong Snow Mountain, which is covered with snow all year round. It is also a good place to bask in the sun in winter.

Qingxi Reservoir is also called Qingxi Park. It is surrounded by rolling mountains and Qingxi Village next to it.

This reservoir is in the shape of a lake, with circular embankments on three sides and an artificial embankment in the middle. There are several antique arch bridges on the embankment, and various trees are planted on the embankment. In spring, the vegetation is green and vibrant, and walking through the forest and across the bridge is poetic and picturesque. As long as the weather is good, just take a photo and the photos will be beautiful.

There is a wetland in the direction of Qingxi Reservoir against the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. There are lush forests, as well as flourishing reeds and other wild grasses. The sky reflects the river into a deep blue, making it an ideal photo spot.

Lover Lake is even less popular than Qingxi Reservoir. Many locals don’t know it because its name was given by people near Baisha. This lake is right next to Dongba Valley, not far from Baisha Ancient Town and Shuhe Ancient Town.

Lover Lake is actually a depression in the middle of the grassland, formed by accumulated water. The water here is clear, and when the weather is clear, the reflection is very beautiful.

Standing by the lake, gazing at the snow-capped mountains, grasslands and lakes is like admiring a rich and colorful oil painting.

Next to Lover Lake is a naturally formed grassland. In spring and summer, the eyes are full of green. This green area extends to the foot of the mountain. Switzerland and other European countries have similar scenery.

The altitude of this grassland is about 2,600 meters. In spring, wild grass and flowers bloom in the wind. Walking among the grass gives you a feeling of wandering in a wonderland.

The grassland is sparsely dotted with many pine trees. They are evergreen all year round and stand proudly tall. They complement the snow-capped mountains and grasslands, making the entire oil painting abandon the monotony and appear richer.
