[China] A magnificent silvery white view in the sky, ranked 5A! Jade Dragon Snow Mountain

Jade Dragon Snow Mountain towers over Lijiang, Yunnan, China.

Its highest peak is 5,546m above sea level, and the summit is home to the southernmost glacier and perpetual snow in the Northern Hemisphere. It is also a 5A-class scenic spot in China.

It is also registered as part of the World Heritage Site "Yunnan Three Parallel Rivers Conservation Area".

It is a sacred mountain for the Naxi ethnic minority who have lived in this area for a long time, and it is said to be an unclimbed virgin peak due to the strict mountain entry restrictions that have been imposed until now.

The advantage of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is that you can take a ropeway all the way to 4,506m, which is higher than Mount Fuji.

The ropeway is 2,968m long, and it takes about 10 minutes to climb 1,150m to the terminal station, making it the second highest in the world after Venezuela.

Be careful, as the altitude increases all at once, and you may become deprived of oxygen due to the thin oxygen, which makes you susceptible to altitude sickness! Many people were sitting on the steps of the promenade.

Even if you endure the hardships, the view from 4500m above sea level is a magnificent sight!
