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.
Black Dragon Pool, or Heilongtan Gongyuan in Chinese, is a Chinese park; it contains several temples and pavillions, bridges, walking trails, and the Dongba Research Institute. For many locals, it is a place to relax, to enjoy the view and the sun, to play games, or to practice - the famous Naxi orchestra comes here three times a week. For the visitor, the view is stunning, and the quieter the water, the more spectacular the reflection of the white arched bridge, the snow-capped mountain, and the pavillions and trees in the water. Walking around the pool is easy, and takes you past several buildings and to the Moon-Embracing Pavillion, site of a double suicide; in 1950, a high official came here with his lover and, once the moon was up, set fire to the pavillion. The current building dates back to 1962.
