Black Dragon Pool on a day when the fog obscures the view of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain

#Get a discount without relying on luck Black dragon pool or Heilongtan in Chinese is a public park and historical site located not far from the old town of Lijiang. What makes this place special is that you can see the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. However, on the day we went, there were a lot of clouds and fog, so it was hard to see. Normally, the entrance fee is 50 yuan per person. We came in the evening and didn't see the gatekeeper, so we didn't pay the entrance fee. You can walk around and take pictures here. The Black Dragon Pool is hundreds of years old. There is also a cafe inside. This is another place I recommend if you come to Lijiang. It's a pity that if the sky were clear, the view of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain would be even more beautiful. I'll come back again when I have a chance. 😍 #TravelChina #blackdragonpool #lijiang #BlackDragonPool

Wander Through Winter’s Charm in Lijiang Old Town 🌸🍂 Stroll into a dreamy December in Lijiang Old Town—cobblestone alleys lined with ancient wooden facades, glowing lanterns, and the sweet surprise of cherry blossoms and golden autumn leaves. This UNESCO gem pairs timeless architecture with nature’s seasonal show, perfect for those seeking cultural vibes and magical photo ops! 🗺️ Recommended Route & Must-Dos: Start your day early to catch soft morning light. Enter via the ancient South Gate, winding towards Square Street, the beating heart full of cafes and local crafts. Wander deeper through secluded lanes by Black Dragon Pool, a serene spot where mountains mirror in calm waters. Pop into the smaller courtyards for quieter scenes and sample piping hot yak butter tea or local flower cakes for a quick warm-up. 📸 Insta-Worthy Angles: Snap the cherry blossoms peeking around red lanterns on the main street, and don’t miss the fiery yellow leaves tumbling over old tiled roofs by the canal bridges. The vista from Lion Hill is breathtaking—grab a panorama of the old town and snow-dusted peaks beyond! ✨ Visiting Tips: December mornings can be chilly. Dress in layers and bring a simple scarf for extra warmth. The air is crisp and crowds thin—ideal for a peaceful walk! Local shops often open before 9 AM and close around 9–10 PM. Lijiang’s altitude means the sun can be strong even in winter—don’t forget sunscreen. #Lijiang #OldTown #WinterMagic #CulturalHeritage #TravelAsia
