Tips for visiting Jade Dragon Snow Mountain without queuing! Nanny Timeline

🌄【Written in front: The best weather in Snow Mountain is early in the morning. It is easy to get cloudy or windy at noon, so put the attraction you are most looking forward to first and go before 9 am! ! ! Ensure that the cable car can operate, the scenery is good and there are few people! 】The following itinerary puts Yakniuping first. We visited Yakping + Blue Moon Valley + Glacier Park Cableway, and purchased tickets for the 9:00 Yakping Cableway + 14:00 Glacier Park Cableway. The advantage of this is that you can see the complete and beautiful snow-capped mountains without anyone in Yakniuping, and you can walk against the crowd without having to queue the whole time. The disadvantage is that it snowed when we went to the cable car in the afternoon, so the visual effect of the snow-capped mountains was not as good as in the morning. You can consider this for reference. Friends who are obsessed with 4680, please put the cable car first. ⏰【Timeline】 Depart from the South Gate of the Ancient City at 6:40 and arrive at Lijiang Xuechuan Tourist Port at 7:40. 🎓College students must bring their student ID! The mountain entry fee is halved! At 7:50, we arrived at the bus departure point of Yaoniuping, which is on the 2nd floor of the tourist port. The bus runs every 15 minutes. While waiting for the bus, we watched the golden mountain in the sunshine. 🚌The bus departs at 8:10 and arrives at the lower station of the Yakping Cableway at 8:45 (no need to queue up to get on the cableway, the whole journey takes 22 minutes, and you can see the perfect Yakping after getting off the cableway. You can walk a full circle on Yakping, or walk a short distance and then go back. There is no need to climb the mountain. It is relatively flat and easy to walk, and there is basically no altitude sickness. The tour time is about 2 hours). 🏞️Go down the mountain from the upper station of the Yakniuping Cableway at 10:50 and take the bus to Blue Moon Valley at 11:25. The bus from Yaoniuping to Blue Moon Valley stops at Blue Moon Valley Shuiyue Pavilion. Tourists going to Blue Moon Valley can get off here. Arrive at Blue Moon Valley for sightseeing at 11:50. There were a lot of people there at that time, so we turned right and walked downstream. Later, a friend said that we could turn left and walk upstream where there were fewer people and the water was bluer. You can try it. 🚶‍♂️Get on the bus at the Blue Moon Valley bus station at 12:30, go to the terminal, enter the visitor center and transfer to the bus to the cable car. There were very few people on the cable car at this time in the afternoon. We bought tickets for the cable car at 14:00, and the cable car bus ticket office at 12:50 let us in. There was no queuing at all from taking the bus to taking the cable car. 🚡Smoothly boarded the cable car at 13:15 and arrived at the upper station of the cable car at 13:30. Because it was snowing the day we went there, only the 4506-4591 plank road platforms were open for the cable car. It was very slippery in the snow, so we recommend that you wear non-slip sneakers (I was wearing non-slip leather boots and I fell flat on my face 😇). Climbing this section is still very tiring, so each person must bring at least two bottles of oxygen! After the tour at 15:30, we took the downward cable car down the mountain. Arrive at the cable car station at 15:50 and take the bus back to the visitor center (please note that many shops in the visitor center are only open until 16:30, so if you want to buy souvenirs, you can buy them in advance). After resting at the visitor center, take bus 101 back to the ancient city at 17:00! (There are many buses on 101, and it is not the last bus at 17:00!) #玉龙雪山 #Lijiang #Lijiang Ancient Town #玉龙雪山牛牛坪 #玉龙雪山攻略 #雪山 #人生第一雪山 #我被雪山治治
