Jade Dragon Snow Mountain

A must visit place if you’re in Lijiang. You have to book your tickets a day in advance if you plan to go up to the peak of the snow mountain and that requires you to use a local app which is inaccessible for foreigners. So you would need to book it via a tour agency or your hotel/inn owner and sign up for a day tour. And due to conservation efforts there is a daily limit on the capacity of people so please allow a few days of buffer just in case there is no slot.

Yulong Snow Mountain, we came with the group, the tour guide on the bus said a lot of altitude sickness, and it was to buy oxygen and drink liquid, and then rent clothes. We went to the flat top of more than 3,000 altitudes. The trees are tall and natural. The air is very fresh. The only regret is that it is far from the snow-capped mountains. If you are young, I think this altitude can be used without oxygen. The tour guide leads a bottle of 39 yuan, 10 yuan near the ancient city of Lijiang, 15 yuan. I saw the impression of Lijiang in the Yulong Snow Mountain Scenic Area, all of which were played by ethnic minorities, and I saw several actors who were very invested and infectious.

There is a bus No. 101 directly to Yulong Snow Mountain at the south gate of Lijiang Ancient City, which is an hour away. The main four attractions of Yulong Snow Mountain, Blue Moon Valley (can go alone, can also go to other cableway), Glacier Park (big cableway, up the top of the mountain), Spruce Ping (spruce Ping cableway, a good location to see the snowy mountains), Yak Niuping (Yinniuping cableway). To go to the big cableway, you need thick clothes and oxygen cylinders, not used elsewhere. Spruce Ping, is a spruce forest and lawn on the mountainside, against the snowy mountains behind, the scenery is good. Blue Moon Valley is a few lakes in the mountains. The lake is not big, but the blue-green lake is particularly transparent and beautiful.

I saw Blue Moon Valley. . Although it rains, it does not affect the view. . Very beautiful. The scenic spot is really big. . I drove into the car from the back door to the Ganhaizi parking lot. . Then I took the bus to visit.

I went with the group and thought I could go to the top of the snow, but I was a little disappointed when I arrived halfway up the mountain. But the virgin forest lawn of Yunshanping is really good!
