March and April are truly the off-season for Jade Dragon Snow Mountain! Fewer people and beautiful scenery!

✅✅ Yunnan Weather and Clothing 🌈 The average weather in March is 5-20 degrees, relatively warm compared to other places 🧣 Clothing: Due to the large temperature difference between morning and evening in Yunnan, and higher temperatures during the day, you can prepare jackets, long sleeves, skirts, etc. Strategies for climbing the snow mountain 🛠️ 1. Make sure to prepare the right equipment before you go! Otherwise, you will regret it. Don't be fooled by the light clothing you see online; people often dress down briefly for photos, but in reality, it's freezing cold. 2. Precautions before climbing: Bring a fluffy hat, not a baseball cap or a duckbill cap, which are useless, don't cover the ears, and can be blown away by the wind. 3. Beauties should bring good sunscreen & moisturizer, lip balm, and a mask. Yunnan has strong ultraviolet rays and strong winds, which can be tough on the skin. At night, your face can get sunburned and frostbitten, so apply some moisturizer and lip balm in the evening. 4. Bring good gloves (not fingerless ones, as the exposed parts will freeze), and you can buy touchscreen gloves so you don't have to take them off. Otherwise, when you take off your gloves to take photos on Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, your hands will freeze and make you question life. 5. You can start using oxygen when sitting on the cable car. Don't wait until you feel uncomfortable to start; inhaling for more than three seconds is effective. After getting off the cable car at 4500.6 meters, there is still a distance to the summit at 4680 meters, which requires climbing a staircase of more than 1800 steps with an altitude difference of 100 meters. Take a breath of oxygen every three or four steps. Climb the snow mountain slowly, rest when you feel a bit out of breath, and avoid sudden and intense movements, as this can easily cause altitude sickness. Keep a steady pace when climbing. Don't sit down immediately when resting, and especially don't squat, as it can easily lead to oxygen deficiency! It takes about 30 minutes to reach the summit, but do it according to your capacity! (Remember this!) 6. There are no shortcuts on Jade Dragon Snow Mountain!! After returning in the evening, don't go to sleep immediately, no matter how tired you are. Go to a well-ventilated place to relax for a while, and if you feel any discomfort, don't think it will pass; seek medical attention promptly. 7. After returning, do not drink alcohol, take a bath, or wash your hair. Bathing in a closed environment accelerates blood circulation and increases the demand for oxygen, disrupting the body's adaptation process and can easily cause post-altitude sickness reactions. 8. Get plenty of sleep the night before, and go to bed early. (Jade Dragon Snow Mountain entrance fee: 100 yuan/person, big cable car ticket: 140 yuan/person) Tickets are snapped up promptly at 22:00. Precautions ✔ ① Prepare for altitude sickness before going up the mountain. It is recommended to take Rhodiola rosea, compound aminophenol methanolamine, and other drugs a week in advance to alleviate altitude sickness. Also, maintain good rest and diet before going up the mountain. ② The temperature on the mountain is low, so it is recommended to wear down jackets or cotton-padded clothes for warmth. ③ The ultraviolet rays are strong, so bring good sunglasses. It often rains in summer, so remember to bring an umbrella. ④ Bring your ID card (the cable car is boarded by swiping your ID card), water, chocolate, oxygen bottles, and other essential items. ⑤ Pay attention to safety issues, do not go to dangerous places like the edge of a cliff. ⑥ Respect the local culture and customs, protect the natural environment, and do not disturb the ecological balance.
