Spruce Plateau is a highland meadow situated on the mountainside of Shanzidou Peak (Fan Peak), the main peak of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. With an altitude of 3,100 m, spruces and firs, forming an enchanting scene, surround the meadow. Yaks, goats, and Lijiang horses herd in this meadow, adding much vitality. The meadow is so beautiful and serene that, for thousands of years, the Naxi people regarded it as the "Ideal Kingdom," an extremely saintly place. Lovers who wanted to be rid of the shackles of arranged marriage and seek their true love came here to sacrifice themselves.
