🏔️ Experiencing Jade Dragon Snow Mountain withdrawal symptoms|Soul-stirring encounter with glaciers at 4680 meters
Turns out oxygen deprivation can be addictive.
After descending the mountain, all I can think about is the sharp line where the snow meets the sky.
🎫 Survival Guide for Ticket Battles
⏰ 20:00 sharp: Snag your Glacier Cableway tickets (faster than grabbing train tickets during the Spring Festival travel rush)
⚠️ Fill in your identity information in advance on the "Lijiang Tourism Group" platform
🔹 Glacier Park Cableway (Large): 140 yuan
🔹 Yak Meadow Cableway (Medium): 65 yuan (tickets available at 19:00)
🔹 Spruce Meadow Cableway (Small): 60 yuan (tickets available at 19:00)
🚌 7:00: The Zhongyi Market Scramble
Hop on the 101 Snow Mountain Express (15 yuan)
Watch the sunrise paint the old town gold
The 100 yuan mountain entrance fee is your ticket to another world
🗺️ My Hiking Route
Glacier Park (2h) → Spruce Meadow (2h) → Blue Moon Valley (1.5h)
▫️ 08:30: The Ascent to 4680 Begins
Oxygen tank clinking in my backpack
Starting from the 4506 viewing platform,
Every step rewrites the rules of high-altitude survival
(Inner monologue: The ultimate experience of taking three steps and panting for five minutes)
▫️ 11:00: Spruce Meadow's Misty Theater
Through a coniferous forest, I step into a Nordic myth
Moss embroidering decaying wood
Beyond the fence, the snow-capped mountains melt like ice cream 🌲
▫️ 14:00: Blue Moon Valley's Riot of Color
On sunny days, the lake steals the blue of the sky
On cloudy days, it transforms into an emerald cave
(Warning: Avoid visiting on rainy days!)
🏡 Accommodation Tip
Don't stay on the stone-paved roads of the old town! Dragging a suitcase is like tap dancing.
Guesthouses around Zhongyi Market are the hidden gems.
💡 Hard-Earned Lessons
❶ Stash hand warmers in your jacket (it feels below zero on the mountain)
❷ Sausages at the scenic spot are 15 yuan each (bring your own snacks to stay safe)
❸ The Blue Moon Valley shuttle bus is a tourist trap (walk to discover hidden gems)

(Currently inhaling my fifth oxygen tank, reminiscing…)
