It was formerly known as the "White Water River". On a clear day, the water is blue in color, and under the sunlight, it looks like the moon set in the valley, hence the name 'Blue Moon Valley'.
The river is a river formed by the melting of glacial water from Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. As the water quality is not polluted, the riverbed and platform are alabaster and limestone gravel, forming this extremely clear mountain stream, and when it rains, the whole river shows a white luster, so it is named "White Water River".
Blue Moon Valley's rivers are blocked by the mountains in the process of flowing, forming four large water surfaces, which are known as Yuye Lake, Jingtan Lake, Blue Moon Lake and Listening Lake.
The lakes are surrounded by lush vegetation, with snowy peaks in the distance behind them. The water of the lake is a transparent, almost solidified blue, dotted with a little bit of green, giving it a quiet and cozy feeling.
