ليجيانغ: جولة جايد دراجون سنو ماونتن ووادي بلو مون

One detail I remember: the guide let Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and Blue Moon Valley speak for itself sometimes. Not every quiet moment needed another speech.

The unglamorous part: there was no pressure to turn every pause into a photo stop. We could catch our breath, look around and move when ready. My only advice is not to shorten the time at Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and Blue Moon Valley.

One thing I learned: the trail is more physical than the tidy itinerary makes it sound. Proper shoes helped, and I was glad we kept water handy. I would rather keep the pause at Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and Blue Moon Valley than add another stop.
