Yulong Snow Mountain

Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, the sacred “Poluoshoulu” of Naxi people, guards Eurasia’s southernmost glaciers. Ride the cable car to Glacier Park (4,680m) where ancient ice gleams sapphire under sunlight, then descend to Spruce Meadow—a misty alpine clearing where Naxi legends whisper of lovers’ final embrace. Hiking trails wind through primeval firs to sacrificial altars draped in prayer flags. Below, the Blue Moon Valley cascades with turquoise terraced pools, while White Water River’s travertine terraces spill mineral-rich streams like liquid jade. Cap your visit with “Impression Lijiang”: 500 local performers sing and dance across a stage framed by snow peaks—an ode to nature’s majesty. From ice to myth, every altitude tells a story!
