Lijiang
 Li Jiang Scenic Area is situated in Li Jiang Naxi
Nationality Autonomous County, Yunnan Province, which is the famous
cultural city of history.
Hei Long Tan (Black Dragon Pond), otherwise known as Jade Spring,
irrigates the surrounding area. The verdant and luxuriant trees, a
carpet of grass, crystal clear spring water in which the snow capped
Jade Dragon peak is reflected, all make a picturesque scenery. De Yue
(Moon Catching) Tower is built in the middle of the pond. Fayun
Pavilion in the northern part was built in 1601, the structure of
which is exquisite and delicate with beautiful style, a unique piece
among ancient buildings.
 Snow Mountain of Jade Dragon. It is 5596 meters above sea level, and
its 13 peaks look like a crystal jade dragon dancing in the air with
snow capped peaks touching the cloud, a magnificent scene indeed.
Tiger Jumping Gorge. On the western of it there stands high the
precipice with narro w bottom. From the river surface to the peak, the
relative height is 3900 meters, while the width of the river is only
30 meters which forms a grand gorge. Within the 20 km long gorge,
there are 18 dangerous shoals, one of the deepest and largest gorges
in the world! |
