| Jade Dragon Snow Mountain live photo. Lijiang | Jade Dragon Snow Mountain live photo Third time in Lijiang, finally made it to the top of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. So beautiful, so beautiful, so beautiful. [One]. Be sure to check the weather before you go. If it rains or is foggy, you won't be able to see anything, just a vast expanse of white. Be sure to go on a sunny day!!! [Two]. It's not very cold up there, just wear a down jacket or a fluffy coat, no problem. [Three]. There is a small shop at the top of the mountain, and the first thing to do is to get a hot dog, it's so delicious, haha. [Four]. If there are many people, be sure to go early, otherwise you'll have to wait in line for a long time. I regret not being able to see Blue Moon Valley and Spruce Meadow. [Five]. The cable car is quite fast, and I was a little scared. The top of the mountain is really high, really high, really high. [Six]. In short, if you go to Lijiang, you must go to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. It's so beautiful and romantic.

I didn't want to climb the mountain, so I chose a scenic spot at the foot of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. 📍Dongba Valley (Free Entry) Photo time: Around 1 pm (this is the brightest time, it's a bit dark in the morning and evening) Horse riding photos: CNY 20 per person (depends on personal preference) You don't need to enter Dongba Valley, this loop is actually more photogenic than Jade Dragon Snow Mountain! I recommend a self-drive tour for a better experience. You can stop and take photos anywhere you like! Every shot is a masterpiece! It's very popular in the morning, and you can see the golden mountain at sunrise. The golden mountain at sunset is in Wenhai Village. Self-driving in Lijiang is amazing!

The sunrise over Jade Dragon Snow Mountain in Lijiang is around 7:17 in the morning, but it's best to arrive at the shooting location before 7:00. Currently, the best places to watch the sunrise over the mountain are Dongba Valley, Jian Shan Xiaoyuan, and Yunti An. I watched it at Yunti An. Not for anything else, but for the convenient transportation, large space, hills, log cabins, mountain reflections, coffee shops. The key is that there is air conditioning... it's not cold!

The third day of the Lijiang itinerary is a travel photography trip to Yulong Snow Mountain and Blue Moon Valley. The guide is well-organized and full of practical information. Be sure to save it!‼️ - 📍Yulong Snow Mountain 🏔️How to get to Yulong Snow Mountain? There are several ways to get there from Lijiang Old Town. You can join a one-day tour, which is convenient and includes pick-up and drop-off services. You can also hire a car or take a bus. 🏔️How to buy tickets? Tickets for Yulong Snow Mountain can be booked online in advance or purchased at the entrance of the scenic area. However, it is important to book in advance to avoid disappointment. The ticket includes cable car and scenic bus tickets. 🏔️What to wear? It is cold on the mountain, so be sure to bring warm clothes, such as a down jacket or windbreaker. It is also recommended to bring a hat, scarf, and gloves to avoid getting too cold. Wear comfortable shoes as you will be walking a lot. 🏔️When is the best time to go? I think it is best to go in the morning or at noon, as the light is better and the photos will be more beautiful. There are also fewer people in the morning, so you can avoid the crowds. 🏔️Recommended photo spots: 👉Cable car: You can take photos of the scenery outside the window while riding the cable car. It is very beautiful. 👉Mountaintop: Be sure to take a photo at the top of the mountain with the magnificent snow mountain in the background. It looks good no matter how you take it. 👉Boardwalk: Walk along the boardwalk and take photos of the snow mountain and sea of clouds from different angles.

#kayak #lijiang #china #lashihai One of the must-do activities in Lijiang is kayaking at Lashihai. We joined a local day tour that included horseback riding along the historic path, followed by kayaking at Lashihai. As someone who loves kayaking, I was excited, but the wind that day was exceptionally strong. Controlling the paddle became a challenge, and the wind pushed our kayak further and further away. No matter how hard I paddled, I found myself spinning in circles, unable to make any progress. It wasn’t until a staff member came to help that I finally managed to paddle back to the shore. It was a truly unforgettable experience. Despite Lashihai being a wetland park rather than a sea, making it feel more like kayaking on a lake, the outing was still enjoyable. Though the water wasn’t particularly clean, kayaking with a group of friends made it a memorable and fun adventure.

Coming back from a trip to Lijiang, it was indeed an unforgettable journey. The various sceneries in Lijiang are truly healing, and the authentic Yunnan cuisine was very satisfying 😋. You can basically find all the travel guides for Lijiang online, but this time we participated in the Burning Man Carnival at the Lijiang Ancient Love Scenic Area. How could the sisters who have been there before keep such a tight lip! The Burning Man Carnival is really worth checking out! The Burning Man Carnival at the Ancient Love Scenic Area is only available from the Mid-Autumn Festival to the National Day, so if you are planning a trip to Lijiang soon, you can include this in your itinerary 📒. This time's Burning Man Carnival had many outdoor scenes, such as iron flower forging, the fire worship and moon worship ceremony, fire pots, and the grand fire phoenix performances. It was totally worth it~ And the atmosphere on-site is completely different; I felt that everyone's mood was as excited as the flames 💥. The bonfire party at night was also very atmospheric. Everyone sang and danced around the bonfire, dancing with the fire. It was really worth remembering!

When you come to Baisha Ancient Town in Lijiang, the happiest thing is to eat a delicious wild mushroom hotpot while looking at the scenery of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain!! There are more than a dozen kinds of mushrooms on the platter! There are many types, and the mushrooms are all wild and very fresh!! The high mountain chicken nourishing soup is very nutritious, drink a bowl of chicken soup first!! Then put in wild mushrooms, there are chicken velvet mushrooms, boletus, deer velvet mushrooms, chicken oil mushrooms... you can eat it after boiling for more than ten minutes!! It's so fresh that it's amazing!!! The environment of Qianjunge is very Lijiang, antique, you can see the snow mountain on the second floor, and you can also see the blue sky, it is really comfortable! While eating the delicious wild mushroom hotpot, I looked at the snow mountain outside the window. It was so worth it to eat this mushroom hotpot at Qianjunge!!!

Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is located in Lijiang, Yunnan Province. It is the mountain range closest to the equator in the northern hemisphere with year-round snow. It is located across the river from Zhongdian Snow Mountain and Mianmian Mountain, and extends from the mouth of the three rivers to the north latitude 27°, like a fan facing the ancient city. The 13 peaks of the entire mountain are arranged from south to north, and the highest point of the main peak, Fanzi Dou, is 5,596 meters above sea level. It is covered with snow all year round, and the snow line height is between 4,800 and 5,000 meters. It has developed the temperate maritime glacier closest to the equator in Eurasia. Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is called "Oulu" in Naxi language, which means "Tianshan". Its thirteen snow peaks are continuous, like a "giant dragon" flying and flying, so it is called "Jade Dragon".

In 1984, the Yunnan Jade Dragon Snow Mountain Provincial Nature Reserve was established.

I have really wonderful time exploring the beauty of Yunnan Province, China 🩵 One of my favorite places there is this Yulong Snow Mountain Area! Many people thought I was in Swiss, while actually I’m in Lijiang, China! China’s nature beauty is so mesmerizing, there were other tourists but still tolerable. I recommend you to come to Yunnan Province and enjoy the beautiful view directly with your eyes🥹 #china #chinatravel #travelinchina #yunnan #云南 #yunnanprovince #lijiang #dali #lake #switzerlandtravel

#cablecars Jade Dragon Snow Mountain offers three cable cars: the Large Cableway (also known as the Glacier Cableway), the Middle Cableway (Maoniuping Cableway), and the Small Cableway (Yunshanping Cableway). I had the chance to ride the Glacier Cableway, which took me straight to Glacier Park at the top of Yulong Snow Mountain. This is the highest scenic spot, sitting at over 4,500 meters! The cable car station starts at 3,356 meters and climbs all the way to 4,506 meters. The ride itself is about 10 to 15 minutes long, and each cable car holds up to six people. The views are absolutely breathtaking—truly stunning. For safety reasons, the cable car only operates in good weather. At the top, you'll find a restaurant, snack store, gift shop, restrooms, and plenty of space to sit and relax. If you're in good health and don’t have any heart conditions or high blood pressure, I highly recommend taking this cable car to the top. You won’t regret it! . #lijiang #chinatravel #yulongsnowmountain #yunnan
