The Blue Tears at the Foot of the Snow Mountain

Stepping into Blue Moon Valley feels like falling into Van Gogh's palette. With the snow-capped mountains as a backdrop and pine forests as a curtain, several shallow lakes are scattered throughout. The water’s color, due to minerals and light refraction, displays a dreamy mix of cobalt blue, turquoise green, and milky white, intertwining and flowing like tears condensed from moonlight. Highlights of the Visit: Arrive early in the morning when a thin mist gently covers the water surface, creating a serene fairyland. Stroll along the wooden boardwalk; Jade Liquid Lake is crystal clear and blue, reflecting the snowy peaks; Mirror Pool is so clear you can see the bottom, with deadwood resting quietly, freezing time; at Listening Waves Lake, the gentle waves lap against the shore rocks, soothing the soul. At noon, sunlight pours down, making the lake colors even richer, like flowing gems. Practical Tips: · Located on the eastern foothills of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, accessible by charter from Lijiang Old Town or via tourist shuttle. · Best combined with a visit to the snow mountain scenic area; reserve half a day to savor it slowly. · High-altitude area, remember to protect yourself from the sun and cold, and walk slowly. This most vibrant blue in the world will cleanse away the dust of life and become an everlasting poem in your memory.
