Jade Dragon Snow Mountain | Just finished playing! Some advice really needs to be heeded

Going to Yunnan, you must visit Lijiang once, and going to Lijiang, you must visit Jade Dragon Snow Mountain once! Before, my impression of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain was that as long as you go, you could see the sun shining on the golden mountain, and as long as you go, you could ascend the snowy mountain! But I was wrong! Jade Dragon Snow Mountain will punish everyone who doesn't do their research! Here are some experiences I've summarized from my own journey, hoping to help friends in need. ✅Location of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is about 20 kilometers away from Lijiang Ancient Town. Tourists usually choose to stay in Lijiang Ancient Town, where you can stroll around at night. The ancient town is very lively at night, and it is recommended to visit the snow mountain during the day ✅About Tickets 1⃣️Entrance Fee: 💰100 There is an entrance fee just for entering the mountain, which does not include the cost of other attractions. Students with a student ID can bring it for a discount (I don't know how much because I don't have one...) 2⃣️Large Cable Car: 💰140 The most popular cable car, which can take you to the internet-famous photo spot at 4680, but it's really hard to get a ticket. If you want to go, you must book several days in advance, but also be prepared for the possibility of not getting one 3⃣️Medium Cable Car: 💰65 The medium cable car goes to Yak Meadow, which is relatively easy to get 4⃣️Small Cable Car: 💰60 The small cable car goes to Yunshanping. The cable car is really short, and it doesn't go very high, so you don't need an oxygen canister... 5⃣️Impression Lijiang: 💰280 A live performance directed by Zhang Yimou. I didn't watch it, so I don't know the effect 6⃣️Ganhaizi: Free At the foot of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, near the tourist center, it's the best spot to view the snow mountain. There are many colorful flags, and if you wish to pray, you can buy and hang them. If you're with a tour group, they will usually take you there, those who know, know ✅About Jade Dragon Snow Mountain Attractions The main attractions of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain include: 1⃣️Sunshine on the Golden Mountain: Generally, the sunrise is around six in the morning. If you are staying in Lijiang Ancient Town, it is recommended to get up at 5 am and leave by taxi before 5:30 am 2⃣️Blue Moon Valley 3⃣️Spruce Meadow: Accessible by small cable car, walk along the plank path to find a great photo spot with a view of the snow mountain 4⃣️Yak Meadow: Accessible by medium cable car 5⃣️Glacier Park: Accessible by large cable car 📝Some Tips 1⃣️For Sunshine on the Golden Mountain, you must go early, because it only lasts a few minutes, and if you miss it, it's gone 2⃣️You must book the large cable car in advance, otherwise, you really won't get it, I didn't... 3⃣️The small cable car is really low, personally, I think you don't need to bring an oxygen canister, otherwise it's quite tiring to carry it all the way 4⃣️If you're not driving yourself, I suggest joining a day tour, it's very convenient for helping with ticket booking, but the lunch with the tour group is really bad! And not cheap either... 5⃣️Bring good cold protection and sunscreen, it's really cold in the morning, and the UV rays at noon are really strong
