Yulong Snow Mountain Conditions in March: Change Your Itinerary ASAP…

Friends, due to persistent gusts of wind in the Glacier Park cable car area on March 7, 2025, cable car operating speeds are limited and capacity is reduced. All reception services after 11:59 have been canceled. If you plan to visit Yulong Snow Mountain in the afternoon, please change your itinerary as soon as possible! For those planning to visit soon, please check the weather forecast before departure and try to arrive in the morning. Cable car operations are likely to be suspended at any time in the afternoon due to weather conditions. Also, it's still quite cold on the mountain, so be sure to bring enough warm clothing. Recommended Clothing: 1. Base Layer: Choose thermal or fleece-lined for excellent warmth against the mountain's low temperatures. 2. Sweater/Hoodie: Thick and windproof is best for consistent warmth. 3. Down Jacket: Long is preferred, with over 90% fill power, ideally knee-length. For those sensitive to cold, choose 300g or more fill. If budget allows, consider a premium brand for guaranteed warmth and quality. 4. Fleece Pants: Highly recommended, thick and warm without restricting movement. 5. Socks: Thick wool socks are essential. One pair will keep you warm, especially with heated insoles for toasty feet. 6. Snow Boots: Buy one size larger to accommodate thick socks and heated insoles. Non-slip soles are crucial for safe walking on snow. 7. Hat, Gloves, Scarf: Choose a hat that covers your ears and waterproof, fleece-lined gloves. These three essential cold-weather items are a must. Scenic Spot Details: 1. Glacier Park: Yulong Snow Mountain's signature attraction, offering close-up views of the glacier. Keep an eye on cable car operation status and visit early. The combined ticket for entry and cable car is 140 yuan, offering breathtaking views from the mountaintop. 2. Yak Meadow: At a higher altitude, the effects of altitude sickness are more pronounced, and the wind is strong. It's a bit desolate this time of year, so skip it if time is tight. The combined ticket for entry and cable car is 60 yuan, offering views of alpine meadows and distant snow-capped peaks. 3. Blue Moon Valley: Azure blue waters resemble sapphires nestled among the mountains. Midday light is ideal for stunning photos. No separate ticket is required for this must-visit spot. Recommended Itinerary: Start with Glacier Park in the morning, take the cable car up to see the glacier, and descend after enjoying the magnificent mountain views. Then head to Blue Moon Valley for perfect midday photos. If time and energy permit, visit Yak Meadow to experience the alpine meadow scenery. Best Photo Spots: 1. Glacier Park Summit: With the continuous snow-capped mountains and glaciers as a backdrop, every shot is a masterpiece. 2. Blue Moon Valley Lakeside: The reflection of the lake and snow mountains creates a picturesque scene, perfect for photos. 3. Yak Meadow Viewing Platform: Capture panoramic views of the distant snow mountains and the meadows below. Important Notes: 1. Yulong Snow Mountain is not open every day; check official announcements. 2. Yak Meadow has high altitude and severe oxygen deficiency, with strong winds. Ladies, avoid wearing your hair loose. 3. Bring your own oxygen tanks, cola, Snickers, etc., to avoid inflated prices at the scenic area. 4. The water in Blue Moon Valley contains copper ions and other trace elements; do not drink it. Local Specialties: 1. Naxi Pork Ribs: Marinated ribs, firm in texture, stewed and served with various vegetables in a delicious and flavorful soup. 2. Chickpea Jelly: Made from chickpeas, it has a smooth texture and is served with chili, vinegar, and other seasonings for a spicy and sour flavor. 3.
