Lan Lashihai, meeting Yunnan's poetry and the distance 🌄 Lashihai is really amazing! The most pleasant stop on this trip to Lijiang! As soon as I arrived here, I was attracted by the vast wetland and mirror-like lake. In the distance, the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain - the snow and the blue sky and white clouds reflect the lake, the water and the sky are the same color, and the beauty is lost! In winter, you can see flocks of migratory birds, or soar in the sky, or perch on the water, and heal. We experienced riding the ancient tea-horse road. Although the mountain road is rugged, the brother Mafu is super enthusiastic and explains the ancient horse culture and the story of Naxi Ancient Village along the way. Horseshoe Dada, shuttled between the mountains and forests, as if crossing back thousands of years ago. During the break, standing on the top of the mountain overlooking the panoramic view of the Lashi Sea, the scenery is really unforgettable in this life. When you are tired, you can eat the special chicken hot pot. The chicken is fresh and tender, the soup is delicious, and the pot is full of super satisfying. There are also boating projects that are also very interesting. It is slowly floating in the lake, and the breeze is blowing, which is full of comfort. Taking pictures is even more a film. The sky and the net red jeep are all blockbusters. It is very important to come here to do a good job in advance. Choose regular merchants and packages to avoid consumption traps. It is best to pick a good weather, the scenery will be more divided! Lashihai is really a place where natural scenery and humanistic customs are perfectly integrated. I highly recommend everyone to check in! #Lashihai #Lijiang Tourism #Yunnan Beautiful View

1. "Baishui River" is located in the "Blue Moon Valley" in the 5A scenic spot "Yulong Snow Mountain". Yulong Snow Mountain is a nationally famous tourist destination and a must-visit online celebrity attraction for Lijiang tourism. Its 13 snow-capped peaks are like a white jade dragon, which is named after it. It is regarded by the ethnic minority Naxi as the incarnation of their patron god "Three Gods" and has become the origin of Naxi culture. In history, many mountaineering teams have tried to climb the main peak "Shanzidou" at an altitude of 5,596 meters on Yulong Snow Mountain, but all ended in failure, which has added a layer of mystery to this sacred mountain. The scenic area is divided into 5 major areas: "Ganhaizi Garden", "Spruce Ping", "Yak Ping", "Blue Moon Valley" and "Glacier Park" (the highest altitude, often suspended, it is recommended to call in advance).
① Address: Yulong Naxi Autonomous County, Lijiang City.
② Transportation: There is no bus, but there is a direct bus from Lijiang Ancient Town. You can also drive or go with a group. It is easy to park by car.
③ Peak season: None, but the best place to take photos in winter is at the bottom of the snow line.
④ Notes: Those with strong altitude sickness can bring their own nutrients and oxygen bottles, which are sold along the scenic area.
2. Blue Moon Valley is a valley that the "Baishui River" passes through. It is named because the moon is reflected in the blue lake in the evening. The Baishui River is formed by the melting ice and snow of Yulong Snow Mountain and is also the source of the "Lijiang Ancient City". There are 3 sightseeing bus stops in the valley. After getting off the bus, you can get on the bus to the next stop. If you have enough time, you can also walk the whole way. There are ethnic costume rental places at each stop. The first stop is "Baishuitai", but the river water is blue and emerald green, and the terraced small waterfalls are very beautiful; the second stop "Jingtan Lake" is the most beautiful, with a large Dongba stone tablet (the ancient writing of the Naxi people, they call wise men "Dongba". There is an essay on the stone tablet), white yaks (white yaks are sacred animals in Tibetan Buddhist areas and cannot be slaughtered. The picture of leaning against plastic peach blossoms, with bluestone, waterfalls and snow-capped mountains on their backs is very beautiful. It costs 50 yuan to ride on it to take pictures) and other photo spots. Among them, the waterfall "Three Waterfalls and Greenery" is three layers of waterfalls stacked on top of each other. The waterfalls hit the goose-soft stones on the riverbed and make a tinkling sound, which is very popular; the third stop "Tingtao Lake" is very small, with only one waterfall viewing platform. There are semi-free photo spots in the scenic area: tourists will be given a two-inch photo for free, and the packaged large photos cost 20 yuan. I bought them because I thought they were okay.
Baishui River is a river formed by the melting glaciers of Yulong Snow Mountain. It cascades down the valley. The water is clear and dark green. The riverbed is composed of deposited limestone fragments, which is grayish white. The clear spring flows through it, and it looks like a white river from a distance.

After experiencing the Peach Blossom Valley at LUXE Beike, we checked in at LUXE Sangushui. It is said that there are three springs in this place, which flow from the slope along the mountain to the Jinsha River. Along the way along the West Building, the water is gurgling, and there are small bridges and water wheels, which are very cool, especially in the hot summer. Walking to the riverside, there are rafting projects, but unfortunately they are not in operation for the time being due to the epidemic. There are also some projects such as glass plank roads and observation decks on the top of the mountain. In short, as a niche attraction in Lijiang, it is very distinctive and worth visiting if you have time.
