[2025 Yulong Attraction] Travel Guide for Glacier Park - Viewing Platform (Updated Jul)

On scorching hot days, this is the place that comes to mind, and personally, I think the snow-capped mountain shines even more in winter than in summer❄️. Stepping onto the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain in snowy November brings an indescribable sense of awe and emotion. At the edge of the Himalayas, standing at the highest accessible peak of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, the view was beyond words—absolutely breathtaking! With an altitude close to 5,000 meters, my heart was racing at 130 bpm to pump blood, but it was a truly awe-inspiring and beautiful moment 🥹🥰. After watching countless reviews and videos, I finally made my dream of climbing Jade Dragon Snow Mountain a reality. Personally, I didn’t use an oxygen tank, but for those who don’t exercise regularly, the altitude can be quite challenging! If you can’t make it to the famous Nepal Himalayas, why not add the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, located at the edge of the Himalayan range, to your bucket list? I believe you’ll experience endless awe and wonder.

I have collected some pictures of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain atmosphere for those who are planning to go. Let me tell you, it is very beautiful. You can travel there all year round. It is covered in snow all the time. We went in April and saw fluffy snow. The weather was freezing. You should bring an oxygen can with you. #JadeDragonSnowMountain #TravelinginChina #Lijiang ❄️🏔️🇨🇳🏔️

#Travel to save the world Jade Dragon Snow Mountain Escape the heat and cool off in mid-April. Fluffy snow and clear skies. Fly directly to Kunming and take the high-speed train. Arrive at your destination safely with convenient transportation. Stay in the old city and absorb the local culture through architecture and food. See the beauty of nature and stop by to watch a spectacular storytelling show under the backdrop of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain.

Lijiang is located on the southern edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, in the northwest Yunnan Plateau. It borders Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture and Panzhihua City to the east, Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture to the south, and Nujiang Lisu Autonomous Prefecture to the northwest. Late Homo sapiens were active in Lijiang as early as the Paleolithic Age. During the Warring States period, Lijiang belonged to Shu County of the Qin State. After Chu Zhuangqiao opened up the Yunnan area, it became part of the Dian Kingdom. Lijiang boasts three world heritage sites: World Cultural Heritage, World Natural Heritage, and Memory of the World Register. It also has Naxi Dongba culture and Lugu Lake matriarchal culture. Yulong Snow Mountain is a mountain range within Lijiang, belonging to the Hengduan Mountains. It is bordered by the Tiger Leaping Gorge to the west and stands alongside Zhongdian Snow Mountain. Located 5 kilometers north of Lijiang, it unfolds like a fan facing the ancient city. The highest peak, Shanzidou, reaches an altitude of 5,596 meters. Thirteen snow-capped peaks stretch from south to north, resembling a giant dragon taking flight, hence the name "Yulong" (Jade Dragon). Because it is mainly composed of limestone and basalt, black and white, it is considered a sacred mountain by the Naxi people. Jinmao Purelax Mountain Hotel is located opposite Yulong Snow Mountain in the Ganhaizi meadow area at an altitude of 3,200 meters. It blends modern and ethnic characteristics, integrating seamlessly with Yulong Snow Mountain. Guests can enjoy stunning views of Yulong Snow Mountain directly from their outdoor balconies. Dinner features excellent local yak hot pot, and in the morning, you can witness the sunrise illuminating the golden mountain. Driving from Dali to Lijiang, we first checked in at the InterContinental Resort Dali. The hotel's location is superb, with the ancient city just a step outside the back door. This trip focused on exploring Lijiang Ancient Town, specifically Dayan Ancient Town. We picked up our mountain entry permits at the Grand Hyatt Lijiang and visited Baisha Ancient Town on our way to Yulong Snow Mountain. We stayed at the most beautiful snow mountain hotel, Jinmao Purelax Mountain Hotel, and took the cable car up Yulong Snow Mountain. Wonderful time, Lijiang.

I decided to visit Lijiang for the first time in China, and it’s the best decision I ever made. Visiting in Dec is really cold (for the person who lives in hot weather like me), but it’s worth. One of the places I visited is Yulong xue san, I went with an agency from 6:00 to 18:00. Although they can not speak English but they’re so supportive. I saw the sunrise on the mountain, it’s gorgeous and impressive, then I visit Blue moon valley with green water. Last but not least, I caught the Glacier peak at 4806m level. Just reminder, please prepare oxygen and medicines when you get there, because I used 3 bottles of oxygen but still felt headache. #china #lijiang #yulongsnowmountain
