Why is Blue Moon Valley so special?
Blue Moon Valley is a popular spot inside the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain Scenic Area, nine miles (15 kilometers) away from Lijiang Old Town. Located besides the Spruce Plateau (Yunshanping云杉坪)，the east side of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, Lijiang , the Blue Valley looks just like a hanging waterfall from the heaven. It is fed by the melting snow and ice running down from the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. The water is freezing. Even in summer, visitors cannot bear the piercing cold when they dabble in the river. Seen from a distance, it resembles a blue crescent moon inlaid at the foot of the mountain.
However, blue is not the only color of the river. The river is extremely clear and clean without any pollution. The river bed consists from the white marbles and limestone gravels. If it rains, the white mud and limestone rubble at the riverbed will be swirled up, making the water as white as milk. Therefore, local Naxi people name it White Water River (Baishuihe River).
Where is Blue Moon Valley?
Blue Moon Valley, or Baishui River, is located nearby Yunshanping (cable car) and Ganhaizi, at the eastern foot of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, approximately 30km (18.6 miles) north of Lijiang Ancient Town. The river was formed by the streams melted from the glaciers and snow of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. The riverbed is made up of off-white crushed limestone and marbles, making the water look white, hence the name.
How to get to Blue Moon Valley
Step 1, visitors can take a taxi, or the regular bus or city bus No.7 to get to Jade Dragon Mountain Scenic Area
Step 2, walk or take a battery car to the White Water River area.

Upon arrival, take a sightseeing bus at the visitors’ center near the gate of the scenic area to the valley; the fare is CNY20. Other spots inside like Spruce Plateau, Yak Plateau, and Glacier Park Cable Car Terminus can also be accessed by sightseeing bus.
What to See in Blue Moon Valley?
It is said that the water in Baishuihe River is a sacred place of love. When two Naxi teenagers fall in love with each other, the boy will stand barefoot in the cold river in winter to test his love to the girl. It is believed that their love will be tested and last forever in the holy mountain.
There are four lakes divided by small waterfalls or giant rocks along the river, namely Jade-Like Lake, Mirror Pond, Blue Moon Lake, and Wave-Listening Lake. The lakes form a natural mirror reflecting the grand snow mountain, surrounding cliffs, and lush plants. There are small shoals dotted among the water, breaking the smooth surface of the lakes. Travelers can take good pictures anywhere along the river. But the best point is the White Water Terrace on the upstream. It is made up of fan-shaped stairs with the river running down from each step, looking like shining shells under the sunlight.
The White River Terraced Waterfall
White Water River (local people also call it Milk River) is clean, pure and sacred for the local Naxi people. It flows eastward and finally meets the Black Water River, forming the White and Black River in Lijiang. The ancient Dongba scriptures describe that the black and white reinforce each other creating the harmonious, peaceful world. Here visitors can also explore the mysterious caves, waterfalls, lakes, wild flowers…
The White River terraced waterfall is not 100% natural but partly man-made. Still it is really beautiful in white color and unique in crescent shape. Many travelers consider it a smaller version of Pamukale in Turkey. If you visit it in the off-peak season, you can enjoy the delightful serenity and get great shots of the waterfall terraces with the majestic snow mountain as the backdrop, without tourist crowds.
Blue Moon Valley
What attract people most are the beautiful sceneries and breathtaking landscapes of the Blue Moon Valley, the magical and mysterious fairy water, the deep limestone caves, countless of azaleas, and the natural Longkou Waterfalls（龙口水瀑布）. American botanist Joseph Rock once made a lot of travelogue here, and left a lot of documents and pictures. The words and pictures inspired the British writer James Hilton so the word Shangri-La can be found in his work, Lost Horizon.

Related Events
Banhong Incident（班洪事件）
Banhong Incident（班洪事件） shocked China and the whole world, it is an anti-British battle leading by Va ethnic people in Banhong and Banlao area during the democratic revolutionary period. It is a glorious feat that the people on the south border of China united together to safeguard national unity defending the invasion.
The British imperialist soldiers occupied Myanmar in 1885, then they continued to invade Awa Mountain area of China, aiming to expand their interests in the Yangtze river area.
When China and British sitting together to talk about the national boundary line in 1900, British regarded Banhong area not as part of China unreasonably. They put the south part of boundary line, called the Gourd King Area（葫芦王）, which Va ethnic group lived on as the uncertain border. They were so eager to occupy this area due to the abundant mineral resources that they didn’t admit Banhong area as part of China.The invasion of the British Imperialism stirred up the anger of the Va people, they resisted firmly. The British armed forces planned to go through Bannong（班弄）, Banlao（班老）, and Banhong（班洪） then arriving at Mengjiao（勐角） area of Dai ethnic group. But the King of Banhong area, Hu Yushan, didn’t allow them to pass, at the same time, he ordered his secretary to send a letter and a basket of egg to Scott, the leader of the British armed forces. Scott was so arrogant when he received these gifts, but after reading the letter he became angry soon, the letter was written as, the Gourd King Area is part of China, you can not occupy it rudely, but if you dare to invade, we will resolutely fight all forms of invasion. Later on, the interpreter told him that, this basket of eggs were not a gift but means as Get out of here, and never come back! In Va language. Scott was so pissed off, but he couldn’t do anything. He had no choice but to take all the soldiers and related officers to bypass Mengding（孟定）, encamping in Mengjiao area with related Chinese officers, Liu Wansheng，Chen Can.
Huangguo (Orange) Event（黄果事件）
3 subordinate soldiers of Scott riding horses to rob the orange（黄果） of Va ethnic group at Mengdong（勐董） market in Yonghe, and shot a Va people who was selling orange. This event annoyed the Va and Dai people on the market, two of the soldiers were killed by the angry crowd. After the Huangguo (Orange) Event（黄果事件） broke out, Scott sent his armed forces to attack Mengdong and Yonghe wildly, burning, killing and looting, many villages were destroyed in the fire.
When Hu Yushan was informed of the Huangguo (Orange) Event（黄果事件） , he sent soldiers immediately to guard Wending Mountain（翁丁大山） between Mengjiao（勐角） and Banhong（班洪）. At the same time he allied 3 tribes, Yonghe, Shaoxing（绍兴） and Shaopa（绍帕） to fight against the British army. In the end the British was defeated fleeing to Myanmar.
As the failure of the Huangguo (Orange) Event（黄果事件） in 1900, the British colonists realized that they couldn’t conquer the people in Gourd King Area by force. But they were unwilling to give up invading Gourd King Area which had abundant mineral resources. Then they tried to invade local culture by missionary work, but the missionary sent by British colonists were excluded out of Gourd King Area by Hu Yushan. This missionary conspiracy was failed at last.They know it clearly that this King, Hu Yushan, was smarter and more powerful than the tigers siting in the mountain, if they didn’t wipe out him, they would not occupy an inch area of the Gourd King Area, not to speak of the glittering silver mine. So they tried their best to play new tricks to bribe Hu Yushan, but they met their Waterloo.Finally they cultivated pro-British, and sent spies to interior area of Awa mountain to map the topography, search mineral deposits, and transport rock specimens secretly. Even they sent troops to shoot our Va compatriot, firing local inhabitants’ village, so as to dismember and occupy our border areas, as well as loot the abundant mineral resources.
Subsequent Development
Later on, with the support of the whole society , as well as the people of Banhong and Banlao stick to fighting against the British, then the second frontier survey was begun from 1935 to 1937. Seeing these historical facts, the British finally admitted that Banhong area was part of China. In 1960, China and Myanmar solved the border problem smoothly and successfully, Banhong area returned to the embrace of the motherland.
Banhong Anti-British Battle Monument was named as an educational base of patriotism by the Yunnan provincial government. Now it is listed as a provincial-level base for “defence education”. We Va people inherited and promoted the self-improvement, struggled diligently spirit. We believe that under the guidance of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, with the support and help of the friends from various circles in China, we all join hands together to build a better tomorrow of Awa mountain.

Tiankeng Dolines in Cangyuan County
Tiankeng is called funnel karst landform in geography, Tiankeng Dolines in Cangyuan County is the biggest one in Yunnan province. Tiankeng Group of Cangyuan County in China is a large, steep-walled, pit-like, negative, karst landform that opened from beneath towards surface, with both its depth and its diameter more than 100 m to several hundred meters, developed in a great thickness of continuous soluble rocks within the aquifer vadose zone above deeply buried water table and connecting with an active cave river at its foot. It is also characterized by its tourism values of rarity, grandeur and spectacular magnificence, and by its special ecological environment.Apart from this biggest one in front of us, there are other 6 tiankeng lie in same level line. It was said that once a man climbed down the cliff, seeing an unfathomable cave. Inside the cave there are lakes, waterfall and a great number of stalactites.
What is Doline or Tiankeng?
A doline, sink or sinkhole is a closed depression draining underground in karst areas. It can be cylindrical, conical, bowl- or dish-shaped. The diametre ranges from a few to many hundreds of meters. There are two different mechanisms for the forming of dolines:
Solution
The corrosive solution of limestone by rainwater is very high in the area fo crack, allowing the water to run into the rock. This normally forms the bowlshaped type of dolines.
The solution produces large amouts of clay (depending on the pureness of the limestone). This clay is water resistant and sometimes plugs the drainage, so little lakes of rain water can sometimes be found in dolines, a rare thing in waterless karst areas.
Collapse
When a cave grows, there may be a point where the roof of a cavern is not stable enough. This results in (several) collapses that shape the roof like a dome. This process runs out, when the shape is able to hold the weight of overlying rocks.
If the impact of this collapse reaches the surface, if the overlying layers are too thin then the ceiling collapses and a doline is formed. The doline is often a natural entrance to the cave.
Discoveries of Karst Tiankengs in China
Karst tiankengs have been known as “large collapse dolines” for a long time, since small number of them have been discovered around the world, but they have received little attention in academic research. In China, the large collapse dolines that were first widely known are in Sichuan Province. Then more such dolines were reported in Guangxi Province, mostly as marvelous natural scenery. From early 90s up to now, a series of karst tiankengs were found and studied in China by Sino-foreign cave expeditions and other many research projects sponsored by Geological Society of China and Institute of Karst Geology of the Chinese Academy of Geological Science. It is during this period of extensive research that the name “karst tiankeng” is formally proposed and widely recognized as the right terminology for this unique geological formation.
There are about 50 karst tiankengs known in China. Of these, 3 are giant tiankengs more than 500 m deep and 500 m in entrance diameter – Xiaozhai Tiankeng in Fengjie of Sichuan, Dashiwei Tiankeng in Leye of Guangxi and Haolong Tiankeng in Bama of Guangxi. There are also 5 large tiankengs more than 300 m in depth and entrance diameter.
Distinction between karst dolines and karst tiankengs
Karst doline is one of the most familiar and distinctive landforms in karst terrains. There are several doline types that form in the soluble rocks, including the corrosion doline, the permeable doline, the suffosion doline and the collapse doline. Of collapse dolines, there are karst bedrock collapses and also collapses in insoluble rock that covers a buried karst, but the size of all these do not match the size of a tiankeng. To date, dolines found in carbonate rocks have diameters and depths up to about 100 m. Steep-walled, pit platform is different from all the main doline types, they differ not only in size but also in their development mechanisms and conditions. Why is a large karst doline now named as a karst tiankeng? The basic reasons are:
A tainkeng develops in special environmental conditions that integrates aspects of geology, geomorphology and hydrogeology, but a common doline develops in a much wider range of karst environments. Consequently, dolines and collapse dolines are widespread while karst tiankengs are very few within the global picture of karst.
A tiankeng differs greatly from dolines and collapse dolines in its development and erosion mechanisms. The common collapse doline forms by dissolution and suffosion in normal geological and hydrodynamic environments. Collapse tiankengs have developed through an unusual hydrodynamic combination of erosion, dissolution and collapse where three evolutionary stages may be distinguished – from a cave river to an underground cavern to a tiankeng open to the surface – this is not comparable.
A tiankeng is very different from a normal doline in size. It is very large and broad.
Tiankeng have close relationships with the regional development of cave river systems, and their distribution, evolution, age and development rates are not comparable to those of common karst dolines.
Genetic Types and main features of karst tiankengs
Current research suggests that tiankengs developed in carbonate rocks may be divided into two types-collapse tiankengs and erosional tiankengs. The former is much more widespread and numerous than the latter.
Collapse tiankengs
Collapse tiankengs formed in soluble rocks in which massive amounts of rock material were dissolved and eroded away at depth by an intensely dynamic underground drainage system, notably by large cave river system. Under specific geologic and hydrogeological conditions, a cavern evolved as its roof failed gradually while the falling rock debris was carried away by water, until it opened to the ground surface.
Erosional tiankengs
Erosional tiankengs developed in the vadose zone of soluble rocks by allogenic water eroding and dissolving the rock in its vertical descent from the surface. They are very rare because of their special environmental conditions.
Collapse and erosional tiankengs have some features basically in common, but also have some important differences in their development conditions:
A great and continuous thickness of soluble rocks
Solution sedimentary rock (generally carbonate rocks in China) is the first requirement for tiankeng development. Clearly, large and deep tiankengs developed within large thickness of soluble rock unbroken by any significant impermeable intermediate beds, so allowing the establishment of a unified vadose aquifer zone.
A deep vadose zone in soluble rocks
Karst tiankengs largely developed in the vadose zone of an aquifer above a deeply buried water table, where the thickness of the vadose zone is nearly equal to or greater than the depth of the tiankeng. Tectonic uplift and rejuvenation caused entrenchment of the surface rivers and a major lowering of the regional water table, thereby increasing the thickness of the vadose zone. Tiankengs are most common in areas of neotectonic uplift.
A favorable geological structure
The two kinds of karst tiankeng formed mainly in karst regions with gently dipping or horizontal rocks, where the soluble rocks have wide outcrops. Structural fissures, notably long and deep faults and vertical joints allow development of a strong hydrodynamic system in the aquifer. A structure with gently dipping beds and networks of joints and faults favours progressive breakdown of the roof of large cave chambers at depth. Dipping beds are eroded to outcrops with long contacts between soluble rocks and non-soluble rocks, that favour development of erosional tiankengs by allogenic drainage, such as at Qingkou Tiankeng.
A highly active hydrodynamic system with underground conduit flow in cave rivers
A tiankeng is the largest closed and negative landform in karst, involving the removal of 1-1000 million cubic meters of rock by breakdown, dissolution and fluvial transport. It definitely requires a very strong input-output hydrodynamic system, in the form of active conduit flow within a cave river system in the karst aquifer. Known tiankengs have developed in association with major karst underground river systems. The cave river is the critical factor in tiankeng development, especially for erosional tiankengs where it is the result of the tiankeng development and not its precodition.
Favorable climate and hydrogeology
A humid rainy climate supplies plentiful rainfall for dissolution and river flow, and encourages high intensity and high rate of tiankeng development in a karst. Tiankeng distribution is related to zones of humid climate and abundant precipitation.
These environmental factors are all optimally developed in the karst of southern China, especially in the high-relief cone karst areas – which include the most important tiankeng sites in the world.
Karst tiankengs provide data for karsification intensities and rates, and offer a new way to study time-scales of karst geological process. It is suggested that the tiankengs in China are the youngest and the largest negative landforms of the karst. Research is directed into the high intensities and rates of karstification and the relatively the geologic age of the tiankengs, and it is suggested that the tiankengs in China formed mainly in the late Pleistocene since 128,000 years ago.
The status of Chinese tiankengs within the karst of the world
As independent and significant karst landforms, tiankengs are not common around the world, and are infrequently studied. The largest tiankengs outside China known to date are mainly distributed through the lower latitudes, including New Britain (Papua New Guinea), Sarawak (Malaysia) and Mexico, and are few in number. Smaller tiankengs are also know in Europe close to the Mediterranean coasts. Compared with those abroad, tiankengs in China possesses significant status within the world’s karst because of the following features:
Large numbers and clustered distribution
Tiankeng in China occur mainly in the south, within the drainage basins of the Yangtze and Peal Rivers , where there are 6 major tiankengs nearly 50 in total. Many are grouped within the same drainage basins or on the same cave river systems.
Large dimensions
In nearly 50 tiankengs found to date, there are 3 oversize tiankengs (Xiaozhai, Dashiwei and Haolong), whose entrance diameter and depth are generally above 500-600 m, and there are tens of large tiankengs more than 300 m in entrance diameter and depth.Perfect formation, beautiful scenery and high values of aesthetics and sightseeing.
Tiankengs in China are mostly surrounded by precipitous cliffs, are very deep and are covered by original forest on their floors. They are characterized by their grandeur, sheer spectacle, peculiarity, and mystery. They are also valued for their aesthetics and sightseeing interest, and some including Dashiwei in Leye are open to tourism and visitors.
Important value for scientific research
This includes the integrity of the geomorphological systems of tiankengs, the difference between the two different genetic types, and the worldwide rarity of the erosional tiankengs. Tiankengs also promote active karst research. For example, the Dashiwei tiankeng group, known for its Museum of Collapse Tiankengs, is the world’s best location for tiankeng research. It has active examples of tiankengs in different stages of development and in contrasting landform environments. It lies in a typical high-relief cone karst terrain in southern China, within the Bailong subterranean river drainage basin of 835 km2, with a subtropical monsoon climate, and annual average of precipitation of 130-170 cm.
But the professional insiders warn that these Tiankengs are not constructed and developed completely, visitors must pay extra attention to the safety in these areas. Up to now, the secret of these Tiankeng Dolines are just dug part of it, with a deeper exploration more and more fancy topography and species will be found.
Attraction Transportation: We can take the shuttle bus from the bus station of the county
Attraction Travel Tips:
·It is quite dangerous around the Tiankeng Dolines, please be careful about walking steps.
·Prepare enough clothes and food, it is definitely a hard journey.

‣ About Walking Marriage Bridges
Located at the southeastern part of Lugu Lake, Walking Marriage Bridge is the only bridge on the Lake. There are dense reeds, so it is called “Grass sea” among locals.
The Walking Marriage Bridge is where Mosuo people date each other. The Mosuo, who live by Lugu Lake have a unique custom called “walking marriages” which means they never get married.
In the day time, young men and women express affection through dancing or singing if they are interested on someone. If a guy fancies a lady, he will come to her “flower house”, the room of a grown up female in Mosuo, before midnight.
At the bridge, guys are called “Azhu” by their loved ones and ladies are called “Axia” by their loved ones. At night time, visitors can find the walking marriage bridge full of “Azhu” who come to date their loved ones.
Currently, there are two Walking Marriage Bridges. One has a history of nearly 100 years but has decayed. A newer one, just next to the old one, is more than 300 meters long and 80 centimeters higher than the surface of water. It has handrails on both sides.
‣A brief introduction of Walking Marriage Bridges
The Walking Marriage Bridge, located in Lugu Lake, at the boundary of Southwest China’s Sichuan province and Yunnan province, is a signature architecture of Lugu Lake that represents the walking marriage culture of the region. It is a must-see attraction if you visit Lugu Lake.
People call Lugu Lake a women’s land. It has the tradition of zouhun – walking marriage – that makes this community marketable as a lakeside love haven. Mosuo people do not formally marry. Rather, they carry a special “walking marriage” custom. A man and a woman can get to know each other by singing love songs or contacting each other in daily life activities. If they fall in love, the woman might give the man a scarf woven by her as a gift. When night falls, the man will visit his lover’s house with a piece of fat meat. When he arrives in front of the woman’s house, he will throw the meat to the dog to eat so that it won’t warn people of his arrival. Then he will go into the woman’s house through the window. Before dawn, the man will leave the woman’s house. If the two still want to keep in touch, the man can come again.
If you come and have a walk on the Walking Marriage Bridge, please remember not to walk to the end of the bridge, because it means that your marriage will come to an end soon.
There are two walking marriage bridges. But one of them has been abandoned and fallen into disrepair. The bridge that tourists visit today is a newly-built wooden bridge spanning 300 meters.
