03 Women's University Yunshanping One Day City Super Detailed Travel Guide
📍Location: Yunshanping
📸【Photo check-in point】
1⃣ Spruce Plank Road: A wooden plank road that passes through the original spruce forest. On both sides are towering ancient trees with "green clothes" and "beards" hanging from the trees. The sun shines through the branches and leaves, and any shot you take is a forest-style blockbuster.
2⃣ Alpine meadow: Green grass in spring and summer, golden ground in autumn and winter, surrounded by snow-capped mountains, it is an ideal place to photograph the romantic atmosphere of "Yulong Third Kingdom".
3⃣ Cultural Site of Love Martyrdom: According to Naxi legend, this is the place where Kaimei and Yulepai died for love. Stone tablets and prayer flags are dotted around, where humanity and nature blend together, making it a great place to take photos that tell a story.
4⃣ Baishui River and Blue Moon Valley: The blue-green lake formed by the meltwater from the snow-capped mountains. The lake reflects the snow-capped mountains, and the plank roads and wooden bridges make you feel like you are walking into an oil painting world.
5⃣ Snow Mountain Observation Deck: Overlooking the main peak of Yulong Snow Mountain, the snow-capped peaks and spruce forests are in the same frame in winter, which is extremely shocking.
💡【Game Tips】
✅ Tickets and transportation:
- Entrance fee to Yulong Snow Mountain Scenic Area: 130 yuan/person (mandatory)
- Yunshanping Cableway: 60 yuan/person (including scenic area bus), walking up the mountain is free but takes about 1 hour.

✅ Best time:
- May-October: Meadows are green, wildflowers are in bloom, and the weather is mild;
- Winter: Snow accumulation is deeper, but you need to be careful to protect yourself from the cold.
✅ Outfit suggestions:
- The ultraviolet rays on the plateau are strong, so sunglasses and sunscreen are necessary;
- Wear a windproof jacket in spring and autumn, and a thin down jacket in summer (the temperature difference on the top of the mountain is large);
- Choose non-slip hiking shoes, be careful as the plank road is slippery.
⚠【Notes】
1⃣ Altitude sickness: At an altitude of 3,240 meters, avoid strenuous exercise and prepare oxygen cylinders in advance (about 60 yuan per tank in the scenic area).
2⃣ Environmental protection and safety: It is forbidden to step on the meadow and do not litter; the plank road is slippery, so pay attention to your feet when taking pictures.
3⃣ Cultural respect: Keep quiet when encountering Naxi sacrificial activities and do not touch the prayer flags or stone tablets at will.
