Qingxi Resevoir, located in the north of Lijiang City, is one of the water supplies for the city. More than a resevoir, it's also a leisure park for many locals. There is a pavilion at the entrance, where you can have a rest and an overall view of the reservoir, and its balustrades were decorated with different pattern. With the reflection of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and Mount Xiang, and the trees around, it offers quite peaceful tranquility with some lovely birds around. #naturalwonders#nationalpark#lakes

It is still a bit cold in the morning. ❸There are few people here, so you don’t have to squeeze in with the crowds when taking photos.

If it weren't for the local uncle mentioning this place, most people really wouldn't be able to find it. It's mainly for those who prefer fewer people, beautiful scenery, and free of charge! Almost only locals come here for a walk or exercise. Looking up, you can see the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. When there's no wind, there's a clear reflection on the water surface. 📍Navigation: Qingxi Reservoir 🎫Ticket: Free 🚲Transportation: About 5 kilometers from Lijiang Ancient Town, it's very convenient to scan a bicycle. ✅Tips: It's best to go on a sunny morning, as Lijiang often has wind in the afternoon, and the calm water surface reflection is more beautiful.

In the afternoon, take the No.3 bus 🚌, come to the north of Lijiang ancient city, and encounter the golden winter sun at Qingxi Reservoir. Standing on the reservoir dam, I was completely shocked by the scene in front of me. The blue lake water is like the sky, like a mirror; the plants around the lake are golden yellow, or green in yellow, red in yellow; when you reach the stone bridge in the lake, the white jade stone lions and railings also seem to be covered with a layer of golden gauze; further ahead are the lush willows, with their branches crisscrossed and their leaves golden... Everything is bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun, shining brightly, indescribably wonderful, and as beautiful as a painting. Groups of wild ducks are swimming freely in the sparkling lake, so comfortable and at ease; the snow mountains in the distance, the village nearby, and the blue sky and white clouds reflected in the water, although all are common scenes, they are unusually beautiful here. I used to think that the bright colors in Russian landscape oil paintings were made up by the painter. Today, I unexpectedly bumped into the most beautiful autumn scenery. When I was wandering with the light and cloud shadows, the sunset gradually fell on the western mountains, and the orange light reflected everything red, just like the verse from Bai Juyi's 'Murmuring River at Dusk': 'A line of the setting sun spreads over the water, half of the river is rustling and half of the river is red'. The tranquility is as beautiful as a poem, intoxicating.

Many places in Lijiang can often be photographed too many times, so I went to ask local people some small people who traveled frequently, so many locals recommended this place, Qingxi Reservoir. The Qiqingxi Reservoir is located on the road to the snow-capped mountains. Therefore, the Qingshan Reservoir can clearly see the distant snow-capped mountains, and there is no shelter in the high-rise buildings nearby, so the view is more open. According to locals, Qingxi Reservoir is the drinking water of the people of Lijiang Old Town. It is indeed clear water, and it can clearly reflect the snowy mountains and have the feeling of a sky. The Qiqingxi Reservoir is free of tickets. Here you can see a lot of people taking wedding photos, flying kites, picnics, drinking tea, and being close to life. The water side should still be safe, there will be staff on duty nearby, and will not let you close to the water. It is also very suitable for taking pictures here. The background is snow mountains and water. If you want to go to some small places in Lijiang, it is better to come to Qingxi Reservoir.

The meaning of life is to keep moving forward and see different landscapes. The warm sun in winter, the breeze in the mountains, the snowy mountains under the blue sky, the me on the road, and the friends who walked with me. At the beginning of January, the Lijiang chill was attacked, and the Qingxi Reservoir reflected the snow-capped mountains. You can see the whole picture of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Visitors to the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain are still in a constant stream. They have lived in Lijiang for four years. I want to tell them that there is a good view of the location of the Qingxi Reservoir. Qingxi Reservoir is located at the foot of Yulong Snow Mountain. The water in Qingxi Reservoir is the drinking water of people in Lijiang Old Town. This water view is not worse than Black Dragon Pool. Qingxi Reservoir does not require tickets, open-plan parks, there are many people who come here to take wedding photos, there are also kites, and there are snow-viewing houses nearby. Come to Lijiang and definitely come here to see.

Qingxi Reservoir This is a place that is almost exclusively known to local people. In a sense, this is also the back garden of the locals. There are many people walking around on weekdays. At present, they are also preparing to rebuild, and may become a scenic spot in the future.  Qingxi Reservoir is located in the northern suburb of Lijiang City and is one of the water sources in Lijiang that supplies drinking water. In winter, it is a great place to relax in the sun. In summer, it is a place to cool off. It is not too big here. There are quite a few stone arch bridges on the water surface. They are trying to create a landscape of gardens. The locals most like to sit by the lake and watch the scenery quietly. When it is raining in Lijiang, you can sit on a chair under an umbrella during the afternoon. 

Qingxi Reservoir is located in the northern suburb of Lijiang City. Every time it passes from Dayan Ancient Town to Shuhe, it is also one of the drinking water sources in Lijiang. I came to see a photo that I liked very much last fall. I never thought that I would come here by visiting an attraction. It is not a scenic spot, but it is more pleasant than any scenic spot, so I recommend it to everyone. The Qingxi Reservoir Dam in the morning is a morning exercise. The average tourist will not come here, but here you can feel the atmosphere of the local life of Lijiang, and really envy this life. The lake reflects the distant Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. There has been no snow recently, and the snow mountain has not been completely white. A gust of wind blew, the reflection disappeared, and then slowly appeared. Autumn willows become golden, the wind blows a rustling sound, and the scene of the leaves falling on the water is beautiful. Every time Lijiang will have some new harvest, this time Qingxi Reservoir is also a surprise.
