The #1 thing to see in Lijiang

It's part of the snow Mountain Park, but it's definitely much better than the mountain. This is an underrated attraction at the park. The water is crystal clear and offers stunning views of the mountain. Every couple of hundred meters there is another waterfall. Sadly however, the walkways by the waterfalls are often not set up well for photography. Even on a quiet day its hard to get good shots because people or wooden walkways get in the way. Despite this, the lake is still well worth a visit. Tips: - After taking the bus to blue moon valley, walk down the road to the lake. The electric car is a waste of money and you'll get some private views of the lake - For the best shots, cross the lake where the yak is, and take the path up to the right where you can find an amazing view of the lake
