Snow Peak Escape with lakefront beautiful scenery at Blue Moon Lake✨

Welcome to Yulong — home to otherworldly turquoise lakes, breathtaking snow mountain peaks, and some of the calmest views you’ll ever see! 🌊🏔️ If you’re plotting a trip to get epic shots or just chill out in pure nature, this destination totally delivers.

Top Spots to Visit in Yulong:
1. Blue Moon Valley (15 km from Yulong Naxi Autonomous County, Lijiang City, Yulong Snow Mountain National Scenic Area, open 07:00–17:00): The must-see! The lake’s turquoise water is unreal, fringed by snow-topped mountains. The lakefront is super popular for wedding shoots (honestly, you’ll want to snap a thousand pics). I highly recommend coming early to catch the valley in its calmest form — perfect for serene strolls or just soaking it all in.
2. Lanyue Lake (Lanyue Valley, Yulong Snow Mountain National Scenic Area, open 07:00–16:00): Another secret gem! Quieter and just as stunning, with clear reflections of mountain peaks. If you crave peaceful vibes, this is your spot.
3. Blue Moon Lake Observation Deck (Yulong Snow Mountain National Scenic Area): The view here is insanely pretty — panoramic shots of turquoise lakes against dramatic snowy summits. It’s a dreamy place to rest, snap, and just enjoy the sun and scenery.

How to Get Around: Local shuttle buses within Yulong Snow Mountain Scenic Area are fast and easy. Get tickets from kiosks at the main entrances, and start early to beat the crowds!

Food & Tips: Pack snacks and water — options are limited on-site. If you want a sit-down meal, head back to Lilong City for local Naxi cuisine. Lijiang Old Town also has awesome eateries nearby.

Pro tips: Good shoes, lots of walking & Sun protection is key (the mountain sun is STRONG!) and don’t forget a camera. The best tender turquoise is seen on sunny days! #yulongvalley #bluemoonlake #lijiangtravel #snowmountainviews #tripcom
