The Sunlight Golden Mountain of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and Blue Moon Valley

On January 18, sunny☀️ I arrived at the foot of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain the night before and stayed at the hotel. On the way, I passed through the process of obtaining a mountain entry certificate, and also visited this very special courtyard-style hotel. The hotel staff are very enthusiastic, most of them are young Tibetan brothers. The best snow mountain view of Jinmao Kaiyue is located on the third floor of the R building on the left side of the entrance (with elevator, no need to swipe the card). Jinmao Puxiu Hotel is very close to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, passing through Dongba Valley Scenic Area along the way. Fortunately, the hotel's yoga platform and Sky Realm have realized that you can see the beautiful Sunlight Golden Mountain in the hotel. Because the Sky Realm platform will have some wedding photoshoots in the morning, which will affect the shooting of the panoramic reflection of the Sunlight Golden Mountain, but the hotel staff are very smart, they remind that there is an artificial stream platform in front of the door of the yoga room. On this stream platform near the water surface, they have a simple rack for us to stabilize and add mobile phones, so that we can achieve time-lapse photography of the complete reflection of the Sunlight Golden Mountain. In the same position, I used my camera to record the very shocking Sunlight Golden Mountain and the reflection on the water surface. The Sunlight Golden Mountain of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is closer and redder than the Meili Snow Mountain I went to later, and it feels completely different. My camera has been with me for 8 years, and I have traveled south and north with me. For me, this is a very durable machine. When shooting landscapes, I mostly choose the 28mm wide-angle auxiliary lens WCL, which is as metallic as the body. I still remember taking it to Emei Mountain Golden Summit and Wawu Mountain to shoot snow scenes last year, and it was very resistant all the way. Before this trip, I also got another auxiliary lens TCL telephoto lens, which achieved a 50mm focal length. It also helped me achieve some distant landscapes on the road. Although changing the lens is a bit inconvenient, it also exercises the speed of loading bullets along the way. This did not bring me any pressure or unhappiness. As for imaging, what you see is what you get, Fuji's color surface eliminates the trouble of post-production, basically they are straight out photos. After watching the Sunlight Golden Mountain in the hotel, I went up to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Because I didn't grab the ticket for the big cable car, I went up to Yunshanping and Blue Moon Valley. I have to admire that Blue Moon Valley looks especially jade under the sunlight on a sunny day, just like Tiffany's original pulp. On the way to Jade Liquid Lake, you can walk slowly and take pictures slowly, which is the most beautiful jade liquid in my mind.
