Lijiang is a place that many people yearn for, and many people think that visiting Lijiang will be a waste of time without the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. However, friends should also do what they can according to their physical conditions.

The Yulong Snow Mountain is a sacred mountain of the Naxi people. It is said that it is the embodiment of the Naxi protective god "Sanduo". The weather here is sunny, the ice and snow do not melt all year round, and the sun shines between the mountains and the ice and snow. This kind of beauty that strikes the soul is shocking! I believe that many friends are full of yearning for the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Without saying much, the detailed and exciting tour guide will begin immediately!

There are many travel routes. How should I choose?

There are three classic routes to visit the Yulong Snow Mountain, that is, take three different routes of cableways.

Glacier Park large cableway, you can reach an altitude of 4506 meters to step on the snow, or you can climb to the peak of snow-capped mountains, 4680 meters monument;

Yunshanping Cableway (small Cableway) allows you to see the snowy mountains up close;

The Yauping Cableway (Middle Cableway) can see the snowy mountains from afar and take panoramic views of the snowy mountains.

The scenery on each route is different. Of course, if you want to hike the whole way up the mountain, you should ask a professional guide to take you around. The most common and classic route taken by ordinary tourists is to pass through Ganhaizi, then take a large cableway to Glacier Park, impress Lijiang and visit Lanyue Valley.

2. Sign up for a pure tour group: (One-day trip to Yulong Snow Mountain is 540 yuan/person)

Starting from the ancient city, I travel by commercial car, with tour guides and part-time drivers. Free pick-up and drop-off near the ancient city. Pure tour groups are not included in the store for the entire journey, and there is no hidden consumption. This has refreshed my understanding of Yunnan tourism. The itinerary includes (a local chicken hot pot meal, oxygen, down jacket and all the above expenses.) Compared with the two, I personally think it is more cost-effective to sign up for a pure tour.

Finally, after discussing it with our best friend, we still chose the pure play group

First stop: Gan Zihai

Ganhaizi is a natural alpine meadow formed by drying up a glacier lake on the Yulong Snow Mountain in Lijiang. It is about 3100 meters above sea level. It is the closest and best place to look up at the full view of the Yulong Snow Mountain. Here you can see the thirteen peaks of the Yulong Snow Mountain lined up from north to south. It is majestic and majestic, with shining silver, a place worth visiting and taking photos! The driver was very friendly and would stop the car wherever we wanted to take photos and take photos of us ~

Second stop: Glacier Park

The only way to get to the park is the large cableway. Ride a large cableway with a total length of 2914 meters and a vertical height difference of 1150 meters. The intermediate running time is about 15 to 20 minutes, but you feel like experiencing the four seasons. Strong seasonal changes, differences in warm and cold, and changes in scenery will make you excited. The cable car will take you to a height of 4506 meters. Outside the cableway, it is the rest stop of Glacier Park. You can see the charm of the highest peak, as well as the entire mountain range and the scenery across it.

The driver was very nice and reminded us to wear sunglasses. The snow on the mountain was particularly dazzling under the sun. It was much more beautiful to take photos with sunglasses ~

If you want to reach the highest point of 4680 meters, you have to climb the remaining 100-meter plank road step by step and do what you can! For those with poor physical fitness, it is recommended to enjoy it on the observation deck at an altitude of about 4506 meters, but the stay should not be too long to avoid altitude reaction.

tip:

1. In order to control the number of people in the scenic spot, the cableway tickets to Glacier Park are on sale in limited quantities. It is difficult for individual tourists to get tickets. It is recommended to sign up for a group to plan the route or book in advance; please watch the time on the cableway ticket and queue up in advance. The cableway is not allowed to miss the ride time, and if you miss the time, you will not be allowed to board the cableway;

2. If you need to buy your own oxygen cylinders, it's best to buy them in Lijiang City. It will really be much cheaper; you don't have to buy oxygen cylinders if you sign up for a group ~

3. In order to avoid altitude sickness, remember to grasp the frequency and number of oxygen inhalation at several important points on the way up the mountain, on the way to the cableway, and to the Glacier Park;

4. If you want to take beautiful and unique photos, it is recommended to bring your own thick clothes! Because most people wear uniformly rented winter clothing, you will see large areas of red and blue after going up the mountain (such as the picture below).

Play with the snow. Ready to go down.

Third stop: Impression Lijiang

Visiting the snowy mountains in the morning can be tiring. You can have lunch at noon, sit down and watch the show, and visit other attractions in the afternoon. "Impression·Lijiang" is set against a snowy mountain and is still very shocking in the world's highest performance venue at an altitude of 3100 meters. I personally think it is also a very recommended attraction.

The entire chapter of "Impression·Lijiang" is divided into six parts: "Ancient Road Horse Gang","Double Wine Snow Mountain","Heaven and Earth","Dance and Dance Group","Inspiration and Sacrifice to Heaven" and "Praying Ceremony".

Surprisingly, all the actors in Impressed Lijiang were non-professional. They came from 10 ethnic minorities and were ordinary farmers from 16 rural villages in Yunnan, with a total of more than 500 actors. If you don't understand it, you will think that they are all national-level actors, and that everyone's performances are very vivid and touching people's hearts.

tip:

1. The seats for watching the performance are not fixed, so you can choose any seats at will. It is recommended to choose a seat at the back in the middle of the stage. The visual effects and experience will be better!

Last stop: Blue Moon Valley and Baishui River

The Lanyue Valley Scenic Area turned out to be the former "Baishui River" Scenic Area. The color of the water is blue, and the valley is crescent-shaped. From a distance, it looks like a blue moon inlaid at the foot of the Yulong Snow Mountain, so it is called Blue Moon Valley. The name Baishui River is also called Baishui River because the river bed is composed of white limestone, and the entire river water shows a white luster and looks exceptionally pure.

Local people all say that Blue Moon Valley can bring good luck, and the water in Blue Moon Valley "washes out bad luck, washes out money, washes out peach luck"!

There is also a corridor pavilion on the shore where you can pray and hang wishing signs. Interested friends can write your wishes at the foot of the beautiful snowy mountains and on the pure Blue Moon Valley!

A perfect day always ends with a delicious meal. When I returned to Shuhe Ancient Town, I went to Fuxian Xiaoguo Rice Restaurant, the number one local restaurant, and had a delicious meal. It was really comfortable, tasted good, and the environment was good. The price was also affordable. It is a delicious restaurant that many celebrities will go to when they come to Lijiang. It is really worth supporting and recommending!
