Blue Moon Valley

Between Ganhaizi and Yak Valley on Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, there is a river formed by the melting glacier water of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. The water is clear and dark green, which is said to be because the snow mountain contains copper sulfate, which turns blue when it meets water. The valley is crescent-shaped, and from a distance, it looks like a blue moon embedded at the foot of the snow mountain, hence the name Blue Moon Valley. Blue Moon Valley is divided into four small lakes: Yuye Lake, Jingtan Lake, Lanyue Lake, and Tingtao Lake. They are not on the same level, and the height difference forms waterfalls and streams of various sizes.
