Experience the full beauty of Lijiang's highland ice and snow scenery ❄️

Yulong Snow Mountain is a super popular natural attraction in Lijiang, the highest peak main peak is 5596 meters above sea level, this time I joined trip.com day tour, the biggest highlight must be to see the magnificent snow mountain up close, and lucky to encounter the fantastic "Rizhao Golden Mountain" moment! Even if you are not used to the high altitude, you can feel the transparent air of the ice and snow world, the blue sky and white clouds and snow-capped mountains background photography, the details are beautiful. Suggested Trip Route: Get up early and take the scenic bus or team car directly up the mountain. The most recommended place is Yulong Snow Mountain Rizhao Jinshan Photo Spot, Address: Yulong Snow Mountain National Scenic Area, Yulong Naxi Autonomous County, Lijiang City. Photography photo location Open view, you can take pictures of the magnificent panoramic view of Yulong Snow Mountain, in the morning also have the opportunity to see Rizhao Jinshan - golden sunlight shining on the top of the mountain, feeling very shocking. Must-play items: 1. Take the ropeway straight up to 4506 meters of Yunshan Ping to experience the high-altitude snow-capped mountain landscape. 2. Take a walk around the lake. The lake is clear to the bottom, and you can see the reflection of the snow-capped mountains in the distance. It is an excellent angle for photography. 3. Drinking a hot drink under the snow-capped mountains, whether selfie or documentary, the picture is as beautiful as a postcard. 4. Capture the golden moment of "Sunshine Golden Mountain" near dusk time. 5. Visit Glacier Park (depending on physical strength) to feel the shock of ancient glaciers. Photo Spot Recommendations: - Observation platform at 4506 meters of Yulong Snow Mountain - Stay on the shore of the lake - Trail at the foot of the snow-capped mountains - The best shooting spot in Rizhao Jinshan Attraction tips: 1. Be sure to bring a down or thick jacket, alpine temperatures can be below zero at any time, the weather changes quickly. 2. It is recommended to prepare oxygen bottles in advance, not adapted to the plateau will have altitude sickness. 3. It is best to avoid noon for photography, the most beautiful golden light of the day following the summit is 8 to 9 am or before dusk. 4. Take a day tour easy and worry-free, the schedule is dense but there is a dedicated person to lead the way, the only drawback is that lunch needs to be shared with other group members, to adapt. 5. High altitude, movement should be slow, do not force running or vigorous exercise. Notes: - Real name registration is required to enter the mountain. Remember to bring your ID card. - The scenic area is large, the mobile phone signal is sometimes weak, it is recommended to agree on the meeting place. - Sunscreen to do enough, UV rays are very strong. - Mountain high temperature difference is large, it is recommended to wear more layered clothes for easy addition and subtraction. Summing up the experience: If you want to feel the world-class snow mountain, the ultimate beauty of nature, Yulong Snow Mountain is definitely a must. Seeing the wonders of "Rizhao Golden Mountain" and glaciers with your own eyes is worth taking a beautiful photo once in a lifetime. And transportation and team arrangements are convenient, suitable for Guangdong, Hong Kong friends, even without self-driving to have a lot of fun!

Lijiang Snow Mountain Trip: A Stunning Experience of the Golden Sunrise over the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain + A Healing Rice Noodle Restaurant | Traveler's Reflections If you want to experience the magnificence of nature, Lijiang is definitely worth a visit! This trip focuses on: Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, Yak Meadow, interacting with baby goats, and the must-try signature rice noodle restaurant—YI JIA Crossing-the-Bridge Rice Noodles. Whether you're a photography enthusiast or a food connoisseur, this itinerary is guaranteed to be rewarding! Highlights: High-altitude impact + stunning golden sunrise over the snow mountain, therapeutic interaction with baby goats, a charming rice noodle shop perfect for photos, breathtaking snow-capped mountain views, and a backdrop of blue skies and waterfalls—every scene will make you want to keep snapping photos. Attraction Recommendations & Itinerary Guide 1. Jade Dragon Snow Mountain: A must-see in Lijiang. No matter how many snow-capped mountains you've visited, Jade Dragon Snow Mountain will challenge your "most beautiful" ranking! It's recommended to arrive early (before 8-9 am) to witness the magnificent golden sunrise over the snow mountain. During the day, the mountain peaks emerge from the swirling clouds, a breathtaking panorama of blue sky, white clouds, snow-capped mountains, and glaciers. Bring your own oxygen cylinder (the feeling is even more pronounced at 3500 meters altitude, especially during a walk in Yak Meadow), and prepare some snacks and warm water to prevent altitude sickness. The cable car station is generally open from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, but may be shorter during the off-season. 2. Yak Meadow: A secluded paradise at the foot of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, at an altitude of 3500 meters, with pristine scenery and crisp, dry air. The most unforgettable thing about Yak Meadow is the chance encounter with gentle little mountain goats; you can even easily take photos with them – incredibly therapeutic! It's quieter than the main scenic area, and the open-air viewing platform offers a wide view, perfect for capturing the golden sunrise on the mountain. Warm clothing and sunscreen are highly recommended. 3. Waterfall Area + Natural Scenery: At the foot of the snow mountain, you can also see waterfalls, lakes, and dense forests along the way. On a clear day, the sky is azure, the distant mountains are picturesque, and the trails offer a fantastic natural atmosphere. We recommend walking along the path in Yak Meadow and enjoying the beautiful scenery around you. 4. Food Recommendation | YI JIA Crossing-the-Bridge Rice Noodles After exploring the snow mountain, be sure to have a bowl of rice noodles to replenish your energy! YI JIA Crossing-the-Bridge Rice Noodles is not only a popular spot for photos, but the rice noodle soup is also steaming hot, with generous and delicate ingredients. At $98-150 per bowl, it's incredibly good value. The waiters are very friendly and speak gently, making you feel at home even after a long day of sightseeing. The restaurant has a clean and refreshing environment, perfect for taking photos. Address: Near Sifang Street, Lijiang Old Town (check Trip.com for location), Opening hours: 11:00-21:30. Practical Tips - Essentials for high-altitude travel: Bring your own oxygen cylinder, warm clothing/sunscreen. Drink less alcohol and get plenty of rest the day before going to the snow mountain. - We recommend going to the snow mountain early in the morning for the best light and fewer crowds, and to capture the golden sunrise on the snow-capped peaks. - Cable car tickets to the mountain can be booked one day in advance to avoid long queues during peak season. - Yi Jia rice noodle shops are popular but have a fast turnover rate; avoid peak hours for a smoother experience. - Make sure your camera/phone is fully charged, as batteries drain quickly in the cold snow. Transportation Guide: From Lijiang Old Town → Take a dedicated bus or chartered car to the snow mountain scenic area (approximately 40 minutes drive). After descending the mountain, walk or take a taxi to the Old Town for rice noodles. Cycling or walking is convenient within the Old Town area. Summary: The Lijiang trip was incredibly moving, with its high-altitude snow-capped mountains, gentle wildlife, and exquisite rice noodles – every stop was a double reward of scenery and emotion. Perfect for playing, taking photos, or simply relaxing; there's no need to rush. I would definitely choose this comfortable and therapeutic route again next time! #LijiangTravelGuide #JadeDragonSnowMountain #GoldenMountainSunrise #YaNiuPingTherapy #CrossingTheBridgeRiceNoodles
