Looking up from the East Street of the ancient town, you can see the Yulong Snow Mountain in the distance, with endless beautiful scenery. Lijiang Ancient Town is one of the two ancient towns in China that have successfully applied for World Cultural Heritage as a whole city. It is a typical representative of distinctive characteristics and styles of Chinese dwellings. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Lijiang Ancient Town began to take shape, and in the Ming Dynasty it was called "Dayan Xiang" because it was located in the center of Lijiang Dam, surrounded by green waters and mountains, like a piece of jade inkstone, hence the name. Many TV dramas such as "One Meter Sunshine" and "Mu Mansion Turmoil" have been filmed here.

Black Dragon Pool Park

Heilongtan, located in Lijiang, used to be a temple for the Dragon King and has many springs around it that accumulate into a lake. It is called "Yuquan Park" because of its crystal-clear water that reflects the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Heilongtan is also the most concentrated area of national cultural relics protection and an important water source for the Lijiang Old Town. Visitors can enjoy classic Lijiang scenery here, such as the Wukong Bridge, Deyuelou, the snow mountain, and the reflection of the snow mountain in Heilongtan, all of which make up an unforgettable Lijiang postcard. For those who want to take photos of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, Heilongtan is one of the most ideal locations. Morning or evening is the best time to take the photos as the light on the snow mountain is the most beautiful. It is worth a try.
