Blue Moon Valley: A Photographic Journey with the Sony A6700

Introduction

My September 2025 trip to Blue Moon Valley in Lijiang, Yunnan, with my Sony A6700, was absolutely breathtaking! That "extremely blue river" just wound through the valley, with Jade Dragon Snow Mountain as the perfect backdrop. The valley was incredible, with four big turquoise lakes and tons of "miniature white waterfalls." I got some amazing shots of the "watercourse," "bank," and "forest," plus cool views where "mountainous landforms, mountain, nature" and "mountainous landforms, water, mountain" all came together. The clear air made it easy to capture "blue, branch, daytime" and all the surrounding "natural environment" and "vegetation." From sweeping shots of the "mountain, mountainous landforms, mountain range" to calm "mountain, blue, sky" pics, every single moment was a visual treat. Blue Moon Valley really is an immersive and beautiful experience!
