Introduction

This place was once known as the "Baishuihe" and is located in the valley to the south of Yunsiping, on the east foot of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. The river here originates from the melting ice and snow of the snow mountain, flows down the steep cliffs, and forms a clear and cool water flow in the deep valley upstream of the Blue Moon Valley. In sunny weather, the river water appears blue, and the entire valley is like a blue moon embedded at the foot of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, hence the name Blue Moon Valley. Due to the obstruction of the mountains, the water flow formed four large lakes, namely "Yuyue" Lake, "Jingtan" Lake, "Lan Yue" Lake, and "Tingtao" Lake.
