Fall in Spell with Charming Magic Of Blue Moon Valley

#lakes There are many places of interest in the world. Today we will visit China, Yunnan Province. There is a valley of extraordinary beauty called the Valley of the Blue Moon. The Blue Moon Valley is really very beautiful. The mountain river, which originates from the glacier at the top of the Jade Dragon, forms several small lakes and low waterfalls, the water in which changes its color depending on the lighting. It can be blue, green or white. Thanks to its pure calcium-rich water and the surrounding mountains, the valley looks very picturesque. On a sunny day, the valley will appear to your eyes in a glow of blue light. The purest water of mountain glaciers descends with a cheerful noise along numerous rapids, runs through a waterfall and fills several lakes sparkling in the sun like precious jade. From a great height or on the map, this valley really has the shape of a newly born crescent moon, which is located at the base of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. The legends of the Nakhi people say that the water in the Valley of the Blue Moon got its unique color from the raft on which the gods overcame the valley. In fact, the river, fed by the melting snows of the Himalayas, acquires a turquoise hue due to copper ions dissolved in water. Although the terraces in the Blue Moon Valley are mostly of natural origin, the Chinese government has carried out several measures to create artificial landscapes to make the attraction look even more spectacular. And it worked. The terraces, combined with the flowers, gorges and meadows that surround them, make the Blue Moon Valley one of the most picturesque places in all of China. To summarize all emotions and impressions together, we can say that In the mountains of southern China there is an incredibly beautiful turquoise river flowing down no less beautiful terraces. As the water flows over these flat platforms, it forms dozens of miniature white waterfalls that break down into a mountain valley.
