Blue Moon Valley on October 14th was very satisfying

When visiting Lijiang Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, the most stunning sight is not the snowy peaks, but the Tiffany blue secret realm at the foot of the mountain—Blue Moon Valley! This place is like a natural filter for perfect photos, with the lake water changing color depending on the weather. On sunny days, it’s a clear azure blue, and on cloudy days, it turns into a mysterious emerald green✨ 📍Blue Moon Valley Practical Guide Address: 15 kilometers in Yulong Naxi Autonomous County, Lijiang City (within Jade Dragon Snow Mountain Scenic Area) Opening Hours: 7:00 AM - 5:00 PM (last entry at 4:30 PM) Tickets: Included in the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain scenic area package 🌟Must-Visit Spots 1️⃣ Mirror Pool: The water surface is as smooth as a mirror, perfectly reflecting the snow mountain 2️⃣ Roaring Wave Lake: You can hear the crisp sound of water splashing from the waterfall 3️⃣ Jade Liquid Lake: The bluest lake, the prime spot for photos 👗Dress Guide The altitude here is about 3000 meters, with a big temperature difference! ✅ Essentials: Lightweight down jacket/waterproof coat (very cold in early morning and evening) ✅ Recommended: Onion-style layering (hot enough for short sleeves at noon, thick outerwear needed in the morning and evening) ✅ Bonus: White/red dresses (match perfectly with the blue lake water) 📸Photo Tips ✔ The light is softest before 10 AM ✔ Fewer tourists after 3 PM ✔ The wooden boardwalk by the lake and the white sandy beach are excellent photo spots 💡Tips 1️⃣ You can take the scenic area’s eco-friendly shuttle bus directly (get off at the terminal "Shuiyue Pavilion") 2️⃣ No need to buy an electric cart ticket!
