A pleasant walk from Lijiang, the Black Dragon Pool is best visited in the late afternoon when the light on the pool, the bridge and the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is best.
The Dragon God Temple has been converted into an art gallery, and there are several shops where you can see good examples of the interesting hieroglyphic language of the Naxi. The arches of the marble bridge form perfect circles in the waters of the Yuyuan, or Jade Spring - so called because of the pale green shade of the water. A little bit behind, you can find the Five Phoenix Hall, probably the most impressive building of the park. This Ming dynasty building was erected in 1600. It is entirely surrounded by trees; after you enter, you are greeted by a nasty looking gold-faced guy on a horse. As you continue walking along the shore of the pool, there are no more buildings, and the park feels more as such. The view does not get better, though, so we returned to the entrance and enjoyed sunset over the Black Dragon Pool and the Jade Dragon Snow mountain from there.
