[2025 Yulong Attraction] Travel Guide for Blue Valley (Updated Jan)

Winter in Lijiang is my favorite. As a southerner, the dry climate here is perfect for me. On sunny days, wearing two layers of clothes is as comfortable as autumn. However, if you plan to go to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain 🏔️, you need to wear a down jacket. Fortunately, there are shops at the foot of the mountain where you can rent one. Scarves 🧣 and hats 🧢 can also be easily bought in the ancient town. The wind on the mountain is strong, and even on sunny days 🌞, the temperature is still low, making it feel cold. The water in Blue Moon Valley is still crystal clear, and the blue lake and snow-capped mountains complement each other, making you want to stay there for a while. Yuhu Village at the foot of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain now has a minibus service directly from the ancient town. We visited it on our way to Baisha. The former residence of American explorer Rock is located here, and it is said that he lived here for 27 years. Yuhu Village is small, and you need to buy a ticket for the electric car to enter. The houses in the village are all made of stone. There are two coffee shops in the village, which are picturesque and very suitable for taking photos, but the prices are a bit expensive. In addition to visiting the village, you can also take a walk to the nearby Longnv Lake, which is a small lake and grassland, and you can also enjoy horseback riding. If time permits, you might as well go there.

Strategically located at the foot of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain in Lijiang, China, it is a stunning scenic spot famous for its clear blue lake water, beautiful scenery as well as a series of terraced ponds and cascading waterfalls surrounded by snow-capped peaks and lush greenery where it helps to create a tranquil and quiet atmosphere. Highly recommend everyone to include Blue Moon Valley and Jade Dragon Mountain in a day trip while travelling to Lijiang. Overall Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Originally, I had planned to spend one day at Yunshanping and another day at Blue Moon Valley and Glacier Park. That way, I could dress up nicely every day and have a great time. But who knew I wouldn't be able to get tickets to Glacier Park? So, I had to visit Blue Moon Valley and Yunshanping on the same day. We went to Yunshanping first and took lots of beautiful photos there. After taking photos at Yunshanping, we found a large and clean restroom at the center, where we changed clothes. It was very convenient. After changing clothes, we took the cable car down the mountain. After getting off the cable car, we took a free bus to Blue Moon Valley. Everything went smoothly. The water in Blue Moon Valley is not as blue as it used to be, but it still looks beautiful to us. The scenery is truly healing, and it makes you feel happy. All your worries seem to disappear! One important thing to remind everyone is to protect yourself from the sun! The weather in Lijiang is both cold and sunny. I'm a good example. You can see in my last photo that I never took off my sun protection mask except when taking photos. The sun is really strong, so be careful.

Lazy Person's Guide to Visiting Blue Moon Valley Without Climbing Jade Dragon Snow Mountain I live in Lijiang Ancient Town, it takes about 40 minutes by taxi to get to Blue Moon Valley, costing about 80 yuan for a distance of around 30 kilometers It might be the off-season, no need to queue for tickets, the entrance fee to the scenic area is 100 yuan per person (whether you go to the snow mountain or not) Big cable car: 140 yuan Small cable car: 60 yuan The scenery of Blue Moon Valley changes with the sunlight. When I arrived, there was a little rain, and the lake seemed rather dull. But then the sun came out, and the scenery was completely different. Check the weather forecast before you go I encountered at least 10 couples taking wedding photos that day, it's indeed a great spot for photography. There are also Dai ethnic costumes for rent in the scenic area, Costume + Makeup + Photography = 268 yuan, depending on personal preference, but actually, just taking random photos is nice The cost of living in the scenic area, a beef skewer costs 10 or 15 yuan, and it's really delicious, even better than the Tibetan specialty restaurant we specifically chose, recommended! The altitude is around 3000 meters, I didn't have much of an altitude sickness reaction, it depends on physical fitness. I had a cold that day and still felt okay, oxygen bottles are 20 yuan each, and you can carry them with you Indeed a paradise on earth

#chinatrip Blue moon valley is a 5AAAAA national scenic spot that located in Lijiang, China and just right at the foot of the Jade Dragon Mountain!! Visiting to the spot from the Lijiang Old Town, it is merely 30 km away and you can either choose the public transportation such as bus, taxi or take a through bus at Yuhe Parking Lot near the northern gate of Lijiang Old Down. This bus will depart to the Snow Mountain at 0830 am and returns at 1630 pm at CNY 40 per person. Highly recommend this place as you must be amazed with the beautiful view!! Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

It's not an exaggeration to say that if you haven't been to Switzerland, you might not guess that this is in China, no nonsense! ❗️❗️The following are all personal experiences, self-summary!! ·Shot in January •The weather must be sunny, rainy days are not blue, and the water is not green enough (don't come on rainy days!!) •When there is snow on the mountain, it is basically autumn, winter, and spring. There may be no snow in summer, bare, but the lake is still beautiful • Avoid the crowd, please go on non-holidays (there are so many people taking wedding photos on Saturdays and Sundays...) Blue Moon Lake and Jade Dragon Snow Mountain are bound together, and there are more people on holidays than you think ✅✅✅Transportation ticket accommodation travel guide (super full and detailed): 1⃣️Coming to Lijiang, it is always most convenient to live in Lijiang Ancient City, try to live near the northwest exit of the ancient city (around the big water wheel), it is convenient to take a taxi and take a bus～(I live near the big water wheel, newly renovated house, you can see the panoramic view of the ancient city, the new air conditioning is very warm, only more than 100 oh); it is recommended not to live in Baisha Shuhe, there is really no one at night, and there is not much activity, takeaway It's not easy to call, life is too inconvenient... 2⃣️Bus: Zhongyi Market 101 Snow Mountain Special Line (15 yuan, the car starts at 7 o'clock in the morning～), or you can charter a car early, the charter time is more free and convenient (it is the unified blue taxi of the ancient city, not calculated by people, but by one car, you can freely carpool, round trip is less than 200, one way is also about 100, very cost-effective), remember to come to Blue Moon Valley, you have to play Yunsong Ping, Jade Dragon Snow Mountain together, they are all together, at least free up a whole day Time, get up early to make the trip worthwhile!! 3⃣️The fee for driving into the mountain is 100, no matter whether you go to the snow mountain or here, you will be charged (Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, Blue Moon Valley, Yunsong Ping is a scenic spot! The 100 yuan mountain entry fee is charged once, and the Blue Moon Valley does not require a ticket) 4⃣️The taxi you take stops at the parking lot, and you still need a 20 yuan sightseeing car to pull you to Blue Moon Valley (Shuiyue Pavilion), and then you will arrive 5⃣️The cable car ticket is only bought for Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and Yunsong Ping, and Blue Moon Valley does not need to buy 6⃣️You must play Blue Moon Valley before playing Snow Mountain! The altitude of Blue Moon Valley is more than 3000, Lijiang Ancient City is not high and it will not be too serious here, basically like walking on the ground, but the highest point of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is 4680, and the platform reached by the cable car is also 4500, whether it will be high or not!! If you play Snow Mountain first, unfortunately high, then you can't play Blue Moon Valley! Remember‼️‼️ 7⃣️After arriving at Blue Moon Valley, there is no need to take a scenic tour bus!! Because the scenic area is not big!! If you don't bring the elderly and children, you want to take a car!! Then me! I! I really want to despise you!! Forget it! Respect personal choice💅 🌈🌈 Summary: Coming to Lijiang without coming to Blue Moon Valley is equivalent to coming to half of Lijiang!!

If you feel a bit tired in life, go to Lijiang Blue Moon Valley! A sapphire embedded at the foot of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, it is named for its blue lake water and the valley is shaped like a crescent moon. It is famous for its majestic snow mountains, beautiful blue lakes, and the magnificent scenery of the canyon. Be sure to go with your family, otherwise, if you cry from the beauty, there's no one to help wipe your tears. Travel recommendation officer Moon Valley travel guide big player

I took a romantic life photo in Blue Moon Valley!!! All I can say is, there's no girl in the world who can't turn a little! That day I met a group of girls from Guangdong in Blue Moon Valley. When my husband and I started taking pictures at the scenic spot, they were already planning to leave. But seeing my husband helping me take pictures, they actively asked me if they could help me take a picture from an angle. They had just taken a lot of good pictures, and they kept praising me when they were helping me take pictures. Then I got the first picture of this life photo! I really, really like this one! (I don't know if the internet can let those beautiful and kind girls brush up on me, I really thank them! Blue Moon Valley is really the most beautiful place I think in this Yunnan trip! Super photogenic! I also spent 50 to ride a yak, really good photos! Everyone is so friendly, the travel experience is 100 percent!!!

When visiting Lijiang, one cannot miss the Blue Moon Valley. Although the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is beautiful, not everyone is prepared in advance or physically strong enough to withstand altitude sickness, but the Blue Moon Valley is suitable for all ages. The stream flowing down from the snow mountain is overall blue, green, and yellow, which is similar to the Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong in Sichuan in a different way. ⛰【Travel Guide】 📍Detailed address: Inside the Snow Mountain Scenic Area, Yulong Naxi Autonomous County, Lijiang City, Yunnan Province 🚗Transportation strategy: Self-driving, bus 🕙Opening hours: 9:30-16:00 💰Ticket price: A one-time entrance fee is charged for entering the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain area, 100 per person.

Blue Moon Valley, this beautiful place, always makes people intoxicated. When it comes to noon, the sun shines on the lake, and the lake presents a deep blue color, as if it is a mirror, reflecting the beauty of the sky. Standing by the lake, I felt the power and beauty of nature. The clarity of the lake water makes me feel as if I can see my own heart, and the reflection on the lake makes me feel a mysterious charm. I couldn't help but think of a poem: 'The water is bright and sunny, and the mountain is empty and rainy.' The scenery here, whether it is sunny or rainy, makes people feel relaxed and happy. The beauty of Blue Moon Valley lies not only in its scenery, but also in the emotional experience it brings to people. Here, I can forget all my worries and pressures and immerse myself in the embrace of nature. The ripples of the lake, the chirping of birds, and the sound of the wind blowing through the leaves all make me feel a sense of tranquility and peace.

Blue Moon Valley, formerly known as the well-known 'White Water River'. On sunny days, the water is blue, and the valley is crescent-shaped, looking like a blue moon embedded at the foot of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, hence the name Blue Moon Valley. Blue Moon Valley is located in the valley on the south side of Yunshanping, north of Ganhaizi, on the eastern foot of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain in Yulong Naxi Autonomous County, Lijiang City, Yunnan Province. The lake water here is formed by the convergence of glacial meltwater from the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, and the water is clear and transparent, presenting a charming blue. The scenery of Blue Moon Valley is very beautiful, with many sights worth seeing. The most famous are Jade Liquid Lake, Mirror Lake, Blue Moon Lake, and Tingtao Lake. The water of Jade Liquid Lake is very clear, surrounded by dense forests, and the scenery is very spectacular. Mirror Lake is a very calm lake, the water is clear to the bottom, reflecting the surrounding mountains and forests, very beautiful. Blue Moon Lake is a very large lake, the water presents a charming blue, surrounded by dense forests and mountains, the scenery is very spectacular. Tingtao Lake is a very small lake, the water is clear to the bottom, surrounded by dense forests and mountains, very quiet. In addition to the beautiful lakes, Blue Moon Valley also has many other attractions, such as waterfalls, streams, forests, etc. These attractions are very beautiful and attract many tourists. In short, Blue Moon Valley is a very beautiful place and worth a visit. If you have the opportunity to travel to Yunnan, don't miss this beautiful place.

|Go to the place with wind|||. Drip~Little tips~ Sunscreen umbrella, moisturizing mask, body lotion, no matter what season, must bring! Believe in the ultraviolet rays of Lijiang and the ability to dry instantly The large cable car of Yulong Snow Mountain Glacier Park must be rushed~ This time the maintenance is missed~ It will be open on the 23rd The blue of Blue Moon Valley is really beautiful!! The large flat ground of Yunsong Ping is also very photogenic The most recommended is the yak hot pot in Baisha Ancient Town

Blue Moon Valley is located at the eastern foot of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain in Yulong Naxi Autonomous County, Lijiang City, Yunnan Province, commonly known as 'White Water River'. It is world-renowned for its majestic and beautiful snow mountains, azure blue lakes like jade, and magnificent and beautiful canyon scenery. It is named for its blue lake water and crescent-shaped valley. It is said to be the prototype of the Blue Moon Valley in the novel 'Lost Horizon' by British writer James Hilton. The scenic area has beautiful sights such as the Red Fairy Inn, Jade Liquid Lake, Mirror Lake, Blue Moon Lake, and Listening Wave Lake, and is known as the 'Little Jiuzhaigou'. It is like a blue moon embedded under the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and is a new popular check-in place for Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Blue Moon Valley, with an altitude of 2800 meters, is located at the foot of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, surrounded by lush vegetation and backed by distant snow peaks. The ancient ice and snow from the snow mountain glacier melt and flow down the cliff, continuously gathering into mountain streams and streams. Because the river bed is made of white limestone, the river presents a white luster, and finally forms a clear and extremely cold river in the deep valley upstream of Blue Moon Valley. The river water in Blue Moon Valley forms four larger water surfaces during the flow process due to the obstruction of the mountain, namely 'Jade Liquid' Lake, 'Mirror' Lake, 'Blue Moon' Lake and 'Listening Wave' Lake. The lake water is transparent blue, from deep to shallow, and from shallow to deep, with a little green embellishment in it, making people feel lively like life, and pure without dust. Special karst topography. Because the groundwater contains a large amount of calcium carbonate, the downstream of the spring forms white calcium carbonate precipitates, presenting a terraced shape of high and low. The scenery here is beautiful, with blue sky, white clouds, green water, snow mountains, and all elements of nature seem to gather here.

Speaking of Lijiang, the Blue Moon Valley, Yulong Snow Mountain, and Sifang Street I visited left a deep impression on me. In recent years, Lijiang's Tinghua Valley has become a popular check-in spot, with valleys, lakes, lawns, flower seas, cottages, castles, etc., forming a beautiful fairy tale world. Let's take a spiritual journey when the scenery is most beautiful. 📍Detailed address: No. 100, Island Nu Plot, Second Group, Street Tail, Baisha Village Committee, Baisha Town, Yulong Naxi Autonomous County, Lijiang City 🚗Traffic strategy: It is recommended to drive or charter a car 🕙Opening hours: 09:00-18:00 💰Ticket price: 40🎫 🌈Recommended check-in points: 1️⃣Broken Bridge Walking on the lawn, you can see a lake, and there is a broken bridge next to it. You can go up and take pictures. This broken bridge can be photographed with the snow mountain according to other people's photos, which is also very beautiful. 2️⃣ Large lawn In front of the garden restaurant is a large lawn, and behind it is the Yulong Snow Mountain. There is a sense of comics. The snow mountain, grassland, and blue sky constitute a beautiful picture. 3️⃣ Hobbit Cottage You can take a panoramic view of the cottage across the lake, which is very beautiful, or you can walk on it and take pictures from below. It's just that our technology is not good and we can't take that kind of effect. The whole person feels black when taken. There is also a drawing board on the cottage, you can pretend to paint there, and the snow mountain in the distance is very beautiful. 🌟Highlights: Tinghua Valley is located on the Yungui Plateau, at the foot of Yulong Snow Mountain, and is a pure land treasure hidden between mountains and rivers. It is nestled against the snow mountain and the environment is tranquil and leisurely. Here, all four seasons are beautiful, with cherry blossoms in spring, roses in summer, reed flying flowers in autumn, and snowflakes in winter, everything is like a paradise. 📌Small Tips： 1. There are alpacas in front of the Hobbit Cottage, but interaction with alpacas (feeding alpacas) requires a payment of 100 yuan. 2. The ticket can be used to diy fresh flower cakes in the garden restaurant for free 3. The weather here is unpredictable, it is recommended to bring an umbrella and a coat.

Blue Moon Valley located at Yulong Mountain in Lijiang is a must see when you are in Lijiang. If you are ever in Lijiang and you get tired seeing all the old towns and villages than Mt. Yulong is a definitely a perfect place for you to see beautiful scenery. You need to be prepared going to Yulong Mountain though as the altitude will probably hit you. How to come here: I suggest you book a tour agency from downtown Lijiang as they will cover your transportation, food, tickets for scenic areas in the mountain and cable car tickets. Enjoy! #trip #tripmoments

It's part of the snow Mountain Park, but it's definitely much better than the mountain. This is an underrated attraction at the park. The water is crystal clear and offers stunning views of the mountain. Every couple of hundred meters there is another waterfall. Sadly however, the walkways by the waterfalls are often not set up well for photography. Even on a quiet day its hard to get good shots because people or wooden walkways get in the way. Despite this, the lake is still well worth a visit. Tips: - After taking the bus to blue moon valley, walk down the road to the lake. The electric car is a waste of money and you'll get some private views of the lake - For the best shots, cross the lake where the yak is, and take the path up to the right where you can find an amazing view of the lake

Location: Yunnan, China Transportation: bus from Lijiang or taxi from Baisha Blue Moon Valley is a place where one can enjoy the nature for hours. After your visit to Yunshanping forest park, the bus takes you to Blue Moon Valley. There are four lakes connected with waterfalls. You can walk around the lakes or sit by the lake and enjoy the scenery. We visited in August during summer holidays and it was packed with people but still we were able to enjoy. Small tip: If you want to enjoy the scenery on the first photo, walk on your right side when you take off the bus. We walked to the other side and had to walk back to enjoy this view. Definitely worth it!

One of the best feelings ever! That breeze was beyond satisfaction. Fresh air, Great tress, crystal clear water that makes you want to dive in and drink it. The view is spectacular and walking along the path was one of my favourite activities in Lijiang. I strongly suggest you try it as soon as possible. Great place to take photos too. You may be lucky to come across a yak and sit on it for a photo. Make sure you explore it!

Location - Jade Dragon Snow Mountain Scenic Area, Yulong Naxi Autonomous County, Lijiang District, Yunnan Province, China.

First scenic stop that everyone is recommending is Blue Moon Valley. On pictures it looks amazing and it's mostly used as a photo opportunity. You can rent some local clothes, walk around, take pics with yak etc. Driving from Lijiang was ok, lot of parking space nearby gate where you can take a bus to scenic spot. We tried to bypass this, but at the end we didn't have anywhere to park nearby. Disappointment was that this is not natural lake, bottom of the lake is even painted in that nice blue shade. Clouds were covering mountain tops, so we didn't have luck with that either. We went to Yak medow and ended up in foggy surroundings. At least you can go there by car and park for free. It shouldn't be in Top3 if you ask me.#yak #medow #bluemoonvalley #nationalpark #themepark #lijiang

Getting There 🚗 is the same area with yulong jade dragon mountains 🏔️. so once you enter this area, all the transportation is provided by them . you car only can stop until the main gate . Attractions🎡 it’s a blue lake . and I can say it’s really looks blue color. it’s because a lots of bacteria 🦠 life in this lake. and for your information, swimming is forbidden in this lake. Hotels 🏨 a lot of guests house or villa around this place , so don’t be worry you can check it out by trip.com if you like all inclusive hotels club med lijiang is the best choice so far for me . Food & Restaurants 🍱🍜 most important if you visit lijiang is the good, lijiang has authentic food which is you must try . a lot of local restaurants are around so everything is depends on you, and the price is not too expensive. #tripblazers #bucketlistreboot #mytripvlog #campingglamping #urbanexplorer #awesomepic

If not for the fact it took us almost an hour and a half to get there from Lijiang Old Town by Didi (due to a traffic jam) it would have been a perfect day. Blue Moon Valley (蓝月谷) is an extremely blue river meandering through a lush valley of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain between Ganhaizi (甘海子) and Spruce Meadow (云杉坪) . It is mainly compose of four large turquoise lakes and dozens of miniature white waterfalls. The incredible scenery in Blue Moon Valley makes the place a perfect spot to feast your eye.

This is one of the most amazing places I've ever been in China. The sceneries are incredible! It's. more beautiful than expected. The lake is super clean and blue, it is generated by the water aggregation of the snow mountain, it is transparent and gem-like. The Yulong Snow Mountain background in the distance is spectacular.

And it was worth it, I so loved it! 📍Address; Blue Moon Valley is located in the canyon of Yulong Snow Mountain scenic spot. 📍Transportation: 101 public tourist bus from Lijiang (15rmb) / Didis and Taxis are available too.

Very close to Lijiang, there’s a valley with turquoise water. It’s a nice place to go to for a day or half a day trip. You can easily hire a driver to go there. Place: Lijiang, Yunnan
