    Yulong (Jade Dragon) Mountain

    In the morning, your personal guide and driver will await you in the lobby of your Lijiang hotel, prepared to launch an unforgettable journey. When exploring Yulong Snow Mountain, three exceptional options are available, each reachable via a round-trip cable car. You can opt for Glacier Park, Maoniuping, or Yunshanping. Option 1: Glacier Park Glide above the clouds on a cable car ride to Glacier Park, the top choice for visitors. As you ascend, admire the stunning panoramic vistas of snow-capped summits, ancient glaciers, and verdant forests. At an altitude of approximately 4,506–4,680 meters, Glacier Park offers an up-close view of magnificent modern maritime glaciers. Stroll along specially constructed viewing platforms, feel the crisp mountain air on your face, and immerse yourself in the awe-inspiring beauty of this natural wonder. The route involves taking the cable car from the lower station at the mountain’s foot directly to Glacier Park—a thrilling ride.

Here, you can watch yaks grazing leisurely on the grass, surrounded by the towering peaks of Yulong Snow Mountain. The scenery blends the grandeur of the mountains with the tranquility of the grassland.
