Blue Moon Lagoon   – Lanyue Lake

The Blue Moon Lagoon is just amazing, right under the Yulong Snow Mountain, consist of a few crystal clear lakes that come down fresh from the mountain, there is so many paths and good places to take photos and 3100ft up so you can breathe the fresh mountain air.

We absolutely loved exploring it and took about 4 hours to see everything ontop of that you can pay for a cable car to hike up the mountain to see the snow, but you should book that in advance because it sells out fast! 

There's lots of food and snacks you can buy so don't worry about being hungry and there's lots of people so recommended to go midmorning then you don't feel rushed and have a proper time exploring !

Blue Moon Lake is a feast for the eyes. While the mountain backdrop was covered during my visit, the beauty of the water alone is worth the visit. Words can&rsquo;t really describe it and pictures don&rsquo;t do it justice. You have to see it yourself.

Getting There - is easy to get with a DiDi there that cost around 80 rmb 

Attractions - entrance to the park cost 100 rmb plus 20 rmb of the internal bus to get to the valley, if you want you could also go the top of the mountain (~4600m) the ticket cost 170 rmb we did not have to use them but taking some oxygen tubes in case is recommended since lots of people suffer the high attitude 

Hotels - we stayed in Shunhe ancient town in a very nice hotel called Mansui Snow Mountain Hotel, is located around 40 minutes to the valley 

Food & Restaurants - the park has several small fast food and hot pot restaurants on the base 

Shopping - it is possible to buy small souvenirs almost in all bus stops

The blue moon valley is a must see when in Lijiang. About 40 minutes from the city, this place is very accessible and affordable. You can either cab there or get a bus there, which departs from the entrance of the old town in Lijiang. Once you’re in the park, you can either go to the lake, or go up the mountain, or even do both!

What a Blue! 

The most breath taking view of Yulong Mountain is at Lanyue Lake! I never see any super blue rivers here in China but this is the best one! you can see the mountains reflection. I think the best time to take photo of the mountain and the river is around 7PM or 7AM when the sun is not high enough. also my tip is to bring your tripod to do long shutter shots to make it steady and to get the perfect mirror shot.

In Lijiang, visiting Blue Moon Lake Valley was one of the highlights of my trip.. The lake was part of the Jade Snow Mountain tour which we booked a day in advance 🤩

The whole lake area is stunning, the crystal clear lake and water falls with the back drop view of the Snow Mountain is what made the trip memorable. The tour costed 650 rmb for the whole day.. The walk around the lake was beautiful as there are many areas where you can take stunning pictures on top of which you can wear the traditional yunnan costume and have pictures taken 🤩

You can take the motor vehicle from one place to another and the ticket costs 60 rmb, but it takes you towards the 3 tourist spots where the views are magnificent 🤩🤩

📍Blue Moon Lake Valley
🕰 08:00 - 18:00
💰 650 rmb for the whole package & 60 rmb for the car

To visit Blue Moon Valley from
Shuhe Ancient Village, Lijiang you can easily arrange a driver through your accommodation. The drive is around 45 minutes. Once you arrive you buy a ticket for 20rmb for the tourist bus that takes you to the scenic area. There is also a 100rmb park entrance fee. Blue Moon Valley is located at the foot of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain in Yunnan province, the Blue Moon Valley has four lakes. The turquoise blue water gets its colours from minerals. You can happily spend two hours walking seeing the different lakes and small waterfalls. I went in the afternoon and it was very busy. Maybe going early in the morning would be a little less crowded.

The scenery is unreal with the melting glacier water giving the lake this special colour. it’s just so beautiful.

Travel guide from a post-00s mom

Left our hotel at Shuhe ancient town at 730am to catch a sight of the sunrise en-route to the snow mountain. Headed up the glacier park cable car at 9am and it was a nice fulfilling challenge going up the stairs to reach the peak viewing platform at the high altitude. Headed down in the late morning for the blue moon valley and had a budget lunch buffet at the Snow Kitchen, before rushing off for the 250pm Impression Lijiang show. Found a good for value package on trip.com for the package above (excluding transport from ancient town). Everything was well organised and orderly within the snow mountain scenic area.#jadedragonsnowmountain #lijiang #yunnan

在玉龍雪山甘海子和氂牛谷之間的山谷裏，有一條由玉龍雪山融化的冰川雪水匯成的河流，沿着山谷而下，水清澈墨綠，據說是因為雪山中含有硫酸銅，遇水後變成藍色的，加上山谷呈月牙形，遠看像一輪藍色的月亮鑲嵌在雪山腳下，所以得名藍月谷。

藍月谷分為玉液湖，鏡潭湖，藍月湖和聽濤湖四個小湖，它們不在同一水平面上，高低錯落，就會形成大大小小的瀑布和溪流。

Blue Valley

藍月谷

Between Ganhaizi and Yak Valley on Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, there is a river formed by the melting glacier water of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. The water is clear and dark green, which is said to be because the snow mountain contains copper sulfate, which turns blue when it meets water. The valley is crescent-shaped, and from a distance, it looks like a blue moon embedded at the foot of the snow mountain, hence the name Blue Moon Valley.

Blue Moon Valley is divided into four small lakes: Yuye Lake, Jingtan Lake, Lanyue Lake, and Tingtao Lake. They are not on the same level, and the height difference forms waterfalls and streams of various sizes.

2⃣⃣帶個墨鏡，紫外線很強，防曬霜、身份證記得帶，可以帶點零食和水，穿純色or鮮豔點的衣服很出片

Yunnan Blue Moon Valley | A must-see nanny-level guide when you come to Yunnan

Spent the day jumping around the lower slopes of Yulong/ Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and it was beaut.

Utter silence, zero people, and a cloudy/ moody mountain filtered through the clouds as a backdrop. Only note was that it was unfortunately not as snow-filled as it could have been but hey, just an excuse to come back in Winter.

Pagoda stop the mountain in Lijiang Ancient Town closes at 6 so heads up on that, I just flew the drone there instead as I didn’t make it in time.

10/10 recommend getting out the ancient city or staying far away from the lower slopes of it - it just becomes filled with noise, not exactly the relaxing old town vibe.
