Blue Moon Valley under the Jade Dragon Mountain

Blue Moon Valley is located at the eastern foot of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain in Yulong Naxi Autonomous County, Lijiang City, Yunnan Province, commonly known as 'White Water River'. It is world-renowned for its majestic and beautiful snow mountains, azure blue lakes like jade, and magnificent and beautiful canyon scenery. It is named for its blue lake water and crescent-shaped valley. It is said to be the prototype of the Blue Moon Valley in the novel 'Lost Horizon' by British writer James Hilton. The scenic area has beautiful sights such as the Red Fairy Inn, Jade Liquid Lake, Mirror Lake, Blue Moon Lake, and Listening Wave Lake, and is known as the 'Little Jiuzhaigou'. It is like a blue moon embedded under the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and is a new popular check-in place for Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Blue Moon Valley, with an altitude of 2800 meters, is located at the foot of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, surrounded by lush vegetation and backed by distant snow peaks. The ancient ice and snow from the snow mountain glacier melt and flow down the cliff, continuously gathering into mountain streams and streams. Because the river bed is made of white limestone, the river presents a white luster, and finally forms a clear and extremely cold river in the deep valley upstream of Blue Moon Valley. The river water in Blue Moon Valley forms four larger water surfaces during the flow process due to the obstruction of the mountain, namely 'Jade Liquid' Lake, 'Mirror' Lake, 'Blue Moon' Lake and 'Listening Wave' Lake. The lake water is transparent blue, from deep to shallow, and from shallow to deep, with a little green embellishment in it, making people feel lively like life, and pure without dust. Special karst topography. Because the groundwater contains a large amount of calcium carbonate, the downstream of the spring forms white calcium carbonate precipitates, presenting a terraced shape of high and low. The scenery here is beautiful, with blue sky, white clouds, green water, snow mountains, and all elements of nature seem to gather here.
