Introducing Dry Sea
The Dry Sea (Ganhaizi) is located at the east foot of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, 25 kilometers away from Lijiang Old Town. As its name implies, it had been a highland glacial lake before the 1940s and became a vast meadow after the water dried up. Surrounded on all three sides by mountains, the Dry Sea is the closest and the best place to get a panorama of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain.

What to expect at Dry Sea
On the Dry Sea, spring is a busy because the meadow bursts into colorful blooms and is full of vitality. In summertime, glittering glaciers can be seen clearly through telescopes. It is the flourishing plants all over the mountains that tinge the glaciers with the filmy green. When autumn comes, the meadow turns the green leaves into bright yellow, orange and scarlet. Covered by pure snow in winter, the meadow and the mountains bring forth a kind of holy beauty. For the locals, the Dry Sea is an abundant pastureland with herders who intersperse their grazing livestock such as cattle, goats, sheep and yaks etc.
