Heilongtan Park, in the north of Lijiang Old Town, is renowned for its 40,000-square-meter pond. The pool gets its name from a legend about a black dragon which lived in this pool. The snow-capped mountains create a spectacular backdrop and images of these majestic formations are reflected in the pool. There is a pavilion, which stands in the middle of the lake and is also beautifully reflected in the waters. [Photo by Han Bo/China.org.cn]
