[Blue Moon Valley | Lijiang, Yunnan Province
"A magical area at the foot of the snow-capped mountains, interwoven with white stone and blue water"]

— After disembarking from the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain cable car, a short walk leads to a "different world."
This is Blue Moon Valley.
The deep blue water, white limestone, and the peaks of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain in the background.
The beauty is so sculpted that it's almost man-made.
But this landscape is a natural creation of meltwater and calcium.
The passage of time is so clear that just walking through it awakens you.
