Blue Moon Valley, formerly known as the "Baishui River". On a sunny day, the color of the water is blue, and the valley is crescent shaped. From a distance, it looks like a blue moon inlaid at the foot of Yulong Snow Mountain, so it is called blue moon valley. The name Baishuihe is also called Baishuihe because the mud at the bottom of the lake is white and the water will turn white when it rains. Due to the blocking of mountains, the river water in Blue Moon Valley forms four large water surfaces, which are called "Yuye" lake, "Jingtan" lake, "blue moon" lake and "Tingtao" lake.

It is also said that because the moon is reflected in the blue lake against the blue sky, and because the Blue Moon Valley in the lost horizon written by British writer Hilton is similar to this, it is called "Blue Moon Valley".
brief introduction
Blue Moon Valley is located in the valley to the north of Ganhaizi and the south of yunshanping at the east foot of Yulong Snow Mountain.
Main features
The water in the lake is cooler. The water in Blue Moon Valley contains copper ions, so it can't be drunk.
Cause of formation
After the melting of the ice and snow from the snow mountain glacier, the ice and snow flowed down the cliff and continuously gathered into mountain streams and streams. Finally, in the deep valley of the upper reaches of the Blue Moon Valley, a river with clear bottom and incomparable sweetness was formed. Because the riverbed was composed of white limestone, the whole river presented a white luster and appeared extremely pure, so it was named "Baishui River".
matters needing attention
The Blue Moon Valley at the foot of Yulong Snow Mountain is not the same place as the shika snow mountain blue moon valley. The Blue Moon Valley is in Shangri La, the birthplace of Naxi culture. The blue moon valley of Yulong Snow Mountain is a canyon from yunshanping to Maoniuping.

It's just a place for tourists to have a rest on their way to yunshanping, Maoniuping and other scenic spots. Later, after a little rest, a small artificial waterfall similar to "Baishuitai" was formed near the Baishuihe viewing bridge, which was welcomed by the majority of tourists. With the continuous flow of people to stay and visit here, Baishuihe bridge has become a tourist distribution center in the tourist area.
