What To Expect
Yulong (Jade Dragon) Mountain
Meet your private guide in hotel's lobby in Lijiang, heading directly to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain which takes about 1 hour. Sit back and enjoy the sceneries along the way. Consisting of 13 peaks, Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is the southernmost glacier in the Northern Hemisphere. Looking from Lijiang Old Town, the snow-covered and fog-enlaced mountain resembles a jade dragon lying in the clouds, hence, the name Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. About half of China's plant species originated in Yunnan province, and Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is home to about half of these, including trees, flowers, and medicinal herbs and plants. The mountain's many ravines, creeks, cliffs, and meadows all have Naxi names and provide settings for the myths and legends of the people who have made the plain their homeland for 1,000 years. Get the information and learn its legendary stories from your tour guide. Upon arrival, take the convenient cable car to the scenic viewing point (4506 meters), marvel at the spectacular glacier and mountain views. You can choose to hike up to 4680 meters by wooden stairs. When you are ready to leave, descend by cable car.

5.00The experience is a must, go for the moon lake definitely. We had rain and the landscape was cloudy but that didn’t mean it was not amazing. The guide was attentive and took us to a beautiful village. 10 out of 10

4.00The tour was nice and well organized. We also had great weather and a very nice guide. We enjoyed the trip. The month of August is not recommended as it is holiday time in China and there are too many people (long waiting times for the buses and cable cars).
