Jade Dragon Snow Mountain (玉龙雪山）

If you plan to visit Lijiang, Yunnan, “Jade Dragon Snow Mountain” is a must visit spot.

Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is an enormous mountain with an elevation of 18,360 feet (5,596 m). There are several peaks on the massive mountain with the highest summit accounted for by Shanzidou peak.

The mountain is also known as Mount Yulong as well as Yulong Snow Mountain. The mountain is the anchor of the Yulong Mountain range which continues further north.

There is a cable car that takes visitors to an observation platform sitting at 14,783 feet (4,506 m) with stunning views of the mountain. The more adventurous can continue hiking up to a second observation area at 15,350 (4,680 m) which provides better glimpses of the snowy summit.
