[2024 Yulong Attraction] Travel Guide for Yulong Snow Mountain Ropeway (Updated Oct)

March and April are truly the off-season for Jade Dragon Snow Mountain! Fewer people and beautiful scenery!

✅✅ Yunnan Weather and Clothing 🌈 The average weather in March is 5-20 degrees, relatively warm compared to other places 🧣 Clothing: Due to the large temperature difference between morning and evening in Yunnan, and higher temperatures during the day, you can prepare jackets, long sleeves, skirts, etc. Strategies for climbing the snow mountain 🛠️ 1. Make sure to prepare the right equipment before you go! Otherwise, you will regret it. Don't be fooled by the light clothing you see online; people often dress down briefly for photos, but in reality, it's freezing cold. 2. Precautions before climbing: Bring a fluffy hat, not a baseball cap or a duckbill cap, which are useless, don't cover the ears, and can be blown away by the wind. 3. Beauties should bring good sunscreen & moisturizer, lip balm, and a mask. Yunnan has strong ultraviolet rays and strong winds, which can be tough on the skin. At night, your face can get sunburned and frostbitten, so apply some moisturizer and lip balm in the evening. 4. Bring good gloves (not fingerless ones, as the exposed parts will freeze), and you can buy touchscreen gloves so you don't have to take them off. Otherwise, when you take off your gloves to take photos on Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, your hands will freeze and make you question life. 5. You can start using oxygen when sitting on the cable car. Don't wait until you feel uncomfortable to start; inhaling for more than three seconds is effective. After getting off the cable car at 4500.6 meters, there is still a distance to the summit at 4680 meters, which requires climbing a staircase of more than 1800 steps with an altitude difference of 100 meters. Take a breath of oxygen every three or four steps. Climb the snow mountain slowly, rest when you feel a bit out of breath, and avoid sudden and intense movements, as this can easily cause altitude sickness. Keep a steady pace when climbing. Don't sit down immediately when resting, and especially don't squat, as it can easily lead to oxygen deficiency! It takes about 30 minutes to reach the summit, but do it according to your capacity! (Remember this!) 6. There are no shortcuts on Jade Dragon Snow Mountain!! After returning in the evening, don't go to sleep immediately, no matter how tired you are. Go to a well-ventilated place to relax for a while, and if you feel any discomfort, don't think it will pass; seek medical attention promptly. 7. After returning, do not drink alcohol, take a bath, or wash your hair. Bathing in a closed environment accelerates blood circulation and increases the demand for oxygen, disrupting the body's adaptation process and can easily cause post-altitude sickness reactions. 8. Get plenty of sleep the night before, and go to bed early. (Jade Dragon Snow Mountain entrance fee: 100 yuan/person, big cable car ticket: 140 yuan/person) Tickets are snapped up promptly at 22:00. Precautions ✔ ① Prepare for altitude sickness before going up the mountain. It is recommended to take Rhodiola rosea, compound aminophenol methanolamine, and other drugs a week in advance to alleviate altitude sickness. Also, maintain good rest and diet before going up the mountain. ② The temperature on the mountain is low, so it is recommended to wear down jackets or cotton-padded clothes for warmth. ③ The ultraviolet rays are strong, so bring good sunglasses. It often rains in summer, so remember to bring an umbrella. ④ Bring your ID card (the cable car is boarded by swiping your ID card), water, chocolate, oxygen bottles, and other essential items. ⑤ Pay attention to safety issues, do not go to dangerous places like the edge of a cliff. ⑥ Respect the local culture and customs, protect the natural environment, and do not disturb the ecological balance.

Blue Moon Valley

This beautiful pearl is located 31 kilometers outside LiJiang, inside Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. This is an absolute must see place. Because it s so popular it can be a little bit crowded, but you can still enjoy in 4 hour hike around like (or more if you like 😁). Coming to Blue Moon Valley, you can take a bus, or taxi (80ish RMB for a ride). After that you have to buy bus ticket 20rmb per person that takes you first to three cable cars lines : Glacier cable car, Yak meadow cable car and Yunshanping cable car. We visited Yunshanping where is beautiful grass field, and you have wonderful view on mountains and forest. After that there is a bus that takes you to blue moon valley. There you can spend relaxed afternoon chilling by the water and enjoying wonderful blue color. This is definitely must see place. #gorgeousyunnan #lijiang #bluemoonvalley

Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, Yunnan, China

Also known as Yulong Snow Mountain, this is a stunning area of natural beauty This area is located only 15km North of the Northern part of Liljiang, tickets cost 230RMB to enter However, we chose to visit as part of a tour and here is why… - This area is subject to windy conditions, when we visited the cableway to the top was delayed by an hour due to weather. Without a tour guide we would not have understood what was happening - This area is extremely large, mini electric cars and tour buses are used to shuttle people to different scenic areas - There were many different buses to take you to different sections, by staying with a group it ensured we got to see everything without getting on the wrong bus! - Meet new people! We met some great people on our tour who also helped with translation and explain what was happening at different times #lakes

TAKE A DEEP BREATH! Yulong Mountain’s elevation is too high so we need to use bottled oxygen. One step at a time to reach the top! deep breath in for 5 seconds then breath out to exercise the lungs and circulation. We climbed Yulong around 8AM the earlier the better less people and also it’s best to prepare breakfast and warm water for the hike! don’t bring too much to carry it will be a adventurous climb! enjoy! #urbanexplorer #yuanshanping #lijiang #yunnan #china #explorewithtony #naturelover #adventure #life #photographersdayoff #leaveyourmark

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.

Going to Yulong Snow Mountain | Lijiang 🏔️

#falltrip Yulong Snow Mountain, also known as Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, is a majestic mountain range located near Lijiang in Yunnan, China. According to the legend, Yulong Snow Mountain was once a beautiful goddess named Shanzhao. Shanzhao fell in love with a young and brave Naxi prince named Sanduo. However, their love was forbidden by the gods, leading to a series of trials and tribulations. In an attempt to test their love, the gods transformed Shanzhao into the magnificent Yulong Snow Mountain. The mountain's name, Yulong, means "Jade Dragon," reflecting the beauty and strength of the goddess. The prince, Sanduo, was transformed into a smaller mountain range opposite Yulong, known as Haba Snow Mountain. The two mountains, separated by the Yangtze River, are said to represent the eternal love and longing between Shanzhao and Sanduo. Local Naxi people believe that the roaring wind around Yulong Snow Mountain is the voice of the goddess, expressing her eternal love for the prince. The highest peak of Yulong Snow Mountain, Shanzidou, stands at an impressive elevation of 5,596 meters (18,360 feet) above sea level. The mountain range spans about 35 kilometers (22 miles) from north to south. It is home to several glaciers, adding to its scenic beauty. The most famous glacier is the Baishui Glacier No. 1, often referred to as the "White Water Glacier." It's also home to wildlife such as the Yunnan golden monkey and the snow leopard. Tips and Tricks ⁉️ 🚡Visitors can access the mountain by taking a cable car to higher altitudes, allowing for breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. There are also trekking routes for those who prefer a more adventurous experience. 🫁You will be offere to buy a can of oxigen before getting on the cable car. In case you have a health condition or you feel that you already have difficulty of breathing you may consider on buying one. We bought one just in case wich turn out to be completely unnecessary. 🥾The mountain provides opportunities for various outdoor activities, including hiking, photography, and even skiing during the winter months. ✨As mentioned in one ou other posts, the famous Blue Moon Valley is located within the Yulong Snow Mountain Nature Reserve, offering stunning views of the mountain's snow-covered peaks and pristine blue water #SpinTheWorld #mytravelhacks #wecreate
