Straight Up To The Sky: Highest Cable Car

#outdooractivities The Jade Dragon Snow Mountains are a small group of peaks surrounding the city of Lijiang. The nearest slope is about 30 kilometers north of the ancient Dalian district. The best place for hiking is the eastern side of the mountain above the Yangtze River. There are good hiking trails with places to stay overnight. On the western side, you can take walks and climb to the Glacier Park, in the area of Spruce Meadow and Yachy Meadow. A cable car leads to the Glacier Park was built in 1999 by the European company Leitner. Until recently, it was the highest-altitude cable car in China, but recently a road leading 300 meters higher was built. The cable car will take you to a height of 4506 m so fast that almost everyone has to resort to oxygen cylinders. In fact, Jade Dragon Snow Mountain has 3 cable cars where visitors can explore the snow mountain. They can be called a Large Cable Car (Glacier cableway), a Medium cable car (Maoniuping cableway) and a Small cable Car (Yunshanping cableway). Now a little bit mote details about the large cableway in Jade Dragon Snow Mountain to reach the mountain, which has preferences among visitors due to the incredible views during the riding. Length: 2914m Height: 1150m (the highest altitude tourist cable way in China) Altitude Range: 3356m - 4506m When visiting, it is better to take a good jacket with you (check the temperature before visiting). A down jacket can also be rented at the cable car station at the foot of the mountain. The Yulong Snowy Mountains are located about 20 kilometers north of the center of Lijiang and about 11 kilometers north of the ancient Baisha district. This is the northwest of Yunnan Province. This was the most impressive cable car I have ever seen during all my travel experience.
