Jade Water Villa, located 15 kilometers from Lijiang City, is a Dongba sacred land for Naxi people in middle area of Lijiang, which is also the source of Lijiang Old Town. "The depth of the water is equal to the height of a mountain", which is a reputation the local people award to Jade Water Villa. The big spring of Jade Water Villa, roaring out from gorges, is more than 3000 meters above the sea level. Tracking the water source, you will see the water comes out from the root of two big trees of thousand years old. How amazing!
