"A world over 4,500 meters above sea level. Take the ropeway to another world."]

— Even looking up at this snow-capped mountain from the city of Lijiang is awe-inspiring.
That's Jade Dragon Snow Mountain (Yu Long Xueshan).
But what's amazing is that you can't just "see" it, you can "climb" it.

Taking the ropeway from an altitude of around 3,000 meters to 4,500 meters, you'll find yourself transported to a world above the clouds.
There are few places in China where you can experience such breathtaking high-altitude views so easily.
