Lonely Planet review for Black Dragon Pool Park

On the northern edge of town is the Black Dragon Pool Park; its view of Yùlóng Xuěshān (Jade Dragon Snow Mountain) is the most obligatory photo shoot in southwestern China. The Dōngbā Research Institute is part of a renovated complex on the hillside here. You can see Naxi cultural artefacts and scrolls featuring a unique pictograph script.

Trails lead up Xiàng Shān (Elephant Hill) to a dilapidated gazebo and then across a spiny ridge past a communications centre and back down the other side, making a nice morning hike, but note the warning on.

The Museum of Naxi Dongba Culture is at the park's northern entrance and is a decent introduction to traditional Naxi lifestyle and religion, complete with good English captions.

    Wonderful natural park

    ericlijiang recommends this,

    Whether you wish to take a nice stroll or just sit and relax, this nice park is not to be missed. There is now a museum inside the park where you can look at interesting Naxi cultural art and historical items. Usually I bring a tour group there along with Lijiang Old Town. You can also enjoy some nice local Naxi music in a small open-air concert inside the park. Check out my website at http://lijiang-pro.com for more info.

    lovely, tranquil spot

    melyuan recommends this,

    It's only a short stroll from 'downtown' Lijiang, so almost impossible to miss. Yet the day we went it was pretty much empty although there were plenty of tourists strolling through the town.
