#discoverchina The view up on the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain was marred by a foggy weather. So we took the cable car down and instead of taking the tram down to the bottom site, we walked along the walking path next to the Baishui River and it was a definitely a right choice. Walking down the Baishui river, beautiful scenes unfolded in front of us. We saw white yaks, the Baishui (white) terraces and the beautiful Blue Moon Valley against the backdrop of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. No words can describe the beautiful and amazing Chinese painting of blue water and snow- capped mountain in front of us. The long walk was worth it and is just too beautiful an experience to be missed.
