A Hidden Gem Beneath the Snow Mountain

#hiddengems The Black Dragon Pool is a quiet haven, away from the bustling streets of Lijiang. The moment I passed through the vibrant gates, I was welcomed by an enchanting vista. Ancient bridges crisscrossed the still waters, framed by blooming trees and the snow-capped Jade Dragon Snow Mountain in the distance. I found myself drawn to the engraved rock marking the “Source of Ancient Town.” The trickling water nearby seemed to echo centuries-old stories of life in Lijiang. The wooden pavilions stood tall, their intricate carvings and vibrant colors adding life to this tranquil setting. For a moment, time stood still. The stillness here makes you believe in the beauty of simple joys—a quiet bench, flowing water, and nature’s song.
