[China] The stunning blue moon valley "Blue Moon Valley"

Blue Moon Valley is a beautiful valley made up of emerald green ponds and pools on limestone terraces on the outskirts of Lijiang, Yunnan, China. Blue Moon Valley is at an altitude of about 3,000m, the same height as Mount Fuji! Be careful of altitude sickness. However, the lake born from meltwater is an eye-opening emerald green, and I was captivated by its beauty. The name "Blue Moon Valley" comes from the fact that the shadow of the crescent moon cast on the surface of the pond resembles the blue moon valley that appears in the novel "Lost Horizon" by British author James Hilton. Blue Moon Valley is often used as a wedding photo shooting location, and I often saw commemorative photo shooting services using yaks (cows) kept by local ethnic minorities. It seems that it is common to visit it on local tours. 📍Blue Moon Valley (Blue Moon Valley Scenic Area) Blue Moon Valley Location: Yulong Snow Mountain Scenic Area, Yulong Snow Mountain Scenic Area, Lijiang City, Yulong Naxi Autonomous County, Yunnan Province, China Business hours: 7:00-18:00 (ticket office closes at 16:00) #Let's go to China #China #Yunnan #Spectacular scenery
