Blue Moon Valley is located in the valley north of Ganhaizi at the eastern foot of Yulong Snow Mountain and south of Yunshan Ping. It was not called Blue Moon Valley at first, but Baishui River. In fact, it is a river flowing in the valley. Rivers are blocked by mountains, forming lakes, which are connected like crescent moons. On rainy days, the water is white, while on sunny days, it is dreamy and charming blue, hence the name "Blue Moon Valley". Yulong snow mountain is embodied in.
It is a part of Yulong Snow Mountain Scenic Area in Blue Moon Valley, but you can go alone. For people with high evaluation, going to Yulong Snow Mountain Scenic Area is the best scenic spot. It takes about an hour to get to Blue Moon Valley from Old Town of Lijiang by car. People who pass through Ganhaizi at an altitude of 3 100 meters on the way will basically get off the bus and take pictures and punch in.
If you enter the Blue Moon Valley, you need to buy a mountain entrance fee of 100 yuan and a scenic bus in 20 yuan. You can't go directly to Blue Moon Valley by taxi or bus. You need to go to the origin of Blue Moon Valley first, and then take the scenic bus to Yunshan Ping bus waiting point. Here, you can choose to visit the Blue Moon Valley on foot, or you can choose the scenic spots of sightseeing bus and 50 yuan alone. However, I prefer walking. Blue Moon Valley is not big, and you can visit it in 2 hours.
When you look down at Blue Moon Valley from a height, you won't feel how brilliant it is, but once you walk in, you will find it as beautiful as a fairyland. There are four lakes in Blue Moon Valley, namely Yuye Lake, Jingtan Lake, Blue Moon Lake and Tingtao Lake, especially Yuye Lake, which is the most beautiful and blue of these lakes.
Compared with Yulong Snow Mountain in Blue Moon Valley, there are far fewer tourists. Most people go to Yulong Snow Mountain by cableway, but they ignore this point. In the Blue Moon Valley, you can see the majestic Yulong Snow Mountain not far away from any angle, which is one of the reasons that attracted me here. Although there is no Yulong Snow Mountain, I am satisfied from a distance.
The water in Blue Moon Valley comes from melting ice in the glacier plateau of Yulong Snow Mountain four or five kilometers away. It continuously flows to every corner of Lijiang, nourishing this plateau city. If you have been to the "Baishuitai" in Shangri-La before, you may be surprised to see this picture. It looks like a terrace from a distance. At present, I think Baishuitai is more suitable for use here. After all, this river is called Baishui River.
Some people say that this place is like Jiuzhaigou in Sichuan, and some pictures are even more beautiful than Jiuzhaigou. Here, you can find a place very similar to Jiuzhaigou. The water quality is crystal clear, and the dead branches at the bottom can be clearly seen. The blue of water under the blue sky is an indescribable blue, which will change into different blue with the change of light. The beautiful scenery here is breathtaking, so it is also called "Xiao Jiu Village".
I remember the description of the Blue Moon Valley in the Lost Horizon written by British writer Hilton. The scene described here is very similar to the scene at the foot of Yulong Snow Mountain, which is one of the reasons why it is named "Blue Moon Valley". Blue Moon Valley is a quiet and peaceful place, which coincides with the temperament here. The beauty here is quiet and feminine, and it is the pure land on earth that everyone yearns for.
Before coming to Lijiang, I took this place as one of my destinations. Now I'm really in it. In addition to the incredible, more is the beauty of the scenery here. Blue Moon Valley is not very big. Walk slowly along the seaside promenade. In the middle of Blue Moon Lake, a small piece of gravel and dead wood emerged from the water. The stone is milky white, and the reflected water surface becomes milky white.
Every lake has a connected highland, and the junction of Blue Moon Lake and Tingtao Lake is particularly distinctive, which reminds people of a classic scene in the Journey to the West. The picture of the scenic spot is very similar to this one. Of course, the stills were actually taken in Jiuzhaigou, Sichuan.
There is no protection on the other side of the lake. There is only one stone road. At this time, we should pay more attention to safety. Although the water looks shallow, it is actually quite deep. Inadvertently, the majestic Yulong Snow Mountain appeared in front of us, guarding this pure land on earth.
