Blue Moon Valley is located in the valley north of Ganhaizi at the eastern foot of Yulong Snow Mountain and south of Yunshan Ping. Its predecessor was "Baishui River". On a sunny day, the color of water is blue and the valley is crescent. Seen from a distance, it looks like a blue moon embedded at the foot of Yulong Snow Mountain, hence the name Blue Moon Valley.
Baishui River is called Baishui River because the silt at the bottom of the lake is white, and the water will turn white when it rains. The rivers in Blue Moon Valley are blocked by mountains, forming four major water surfaces, which are called Yuye Lake, Jingtan Lake, Blue Moon Lake and Tingtao Lake.
It is also said that it is named "Blue Moon Valley" because the moon is reflected in the blue lagoon under the blue sky and the Blue Moon Valley in Lost Horizon written by British writer james hilton is similar to this.
