Glacial ponds of the Blue Moon Valley

If you want to visit a majestic valley with clear waters that come from a sacred glacial, the Blue Moon Valley in Yulong National Park is a must visit. Altitude for BMV is 3,600m. You can take local bus, distance to the park is 13 km and costs only 20 RMB (leaves from Lijiang Old Town North Gate). This freezing blueish water transforms in white during rainy season. Located in the Jade Dragon 🐉 Snow Mountain park, this scenic spot will stay in your mind forever. I suggest you to visit as early as possible, to avoid crowd spaces. This park in general is huge, and every spot can be incredibly iconic. Inside the park are many restaurants and shops, some are quite expensive. You can bring your own food. Also, you can rent a waterproof warm coat if temperature is too low, or buy additional oxygen if you need it. Although, it’s better to buy your own in Lijiang town (inside the park costs are 2-3 times more). 🔅 Only Chinese can pre-book tickets online. To avoid complications and additional charges, I’ll advice you to go to the park with a local group tour. ⚠️ You need to keep your passport with you at all times, pay many different tickets and show different health codes. Just keep in mind these hectic steps are the only thing separating you from one of a lifetime experience. 📍 Jade Dragon Snow Mountain Scenic Area #urbanexplorer #maydaytrip #happylaborday #lijiang #ancientlandmark #mountain #hiking #lijiangtravel #yunnan #lijiang #yunnantravel #yunnanethnicvilliage #worldheritage #heritage #patrimonio #bluemoonvalley #yulong #scenicspotphotoguide #scenicspot #scenicspotguide #ethnicstyle #trekking #climbing #hikingadventures #lake #river #glacier #glacierwalk #waterfall#naturaloxygenbar
