Jade Dragon Snow Mountain (玉龙雪山)

Location: Lijiang Altitude: 5,596m Best time to visit: Nov – Mar
Impression Lijiang - Yunnan Nature Ah, Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. This mountain dominated our itinerary in Lijiang. Getting tickets was quite a hassle but this is one landmark you have to see when you visit Lijiang. Considered sacred among the local Naxi people, this beast of a mountain has 13 peaks. The highest peak is Shanzidou, which is unfortunately not accessible by the public. You can, however, take a cable car up to an altitude of 4,506m before ascending up a series of steps to reach Glacier Park at 4,680m.

Don’t be surprised to see tourists chugging oxygen from cans like their lives depended on it. Jokes aside, the mountain’s vast blanket of white is spectacular and will make you feel like you’re venturing beyond the wall in Game of Thrones. **Note: **Only 10,000 tickets are released each day online on a first-come-first-serve basis, and you can only pay via WeChat. We advise booking tickets through a tour (which includes transport) or asking your hostel owner to help you. Entrance fee: 130RMB for entrance, extra 180RMB for cable car ride Opening hours: 7AM – 6PM (Ticketing ends at 4PM) Address: Yulong Naxi Autonomous County, Lijiang, Yunnan, China
