#100WaysOfTravel #travel #china #thingstodo #familytravel #citydaytours #naturalwonders Lijiang, you have my heart! ❤️ The city is full of old world charm with modern approach of living. Nature wrapped with so much to see and do. Unfortunately Glacier Park 冰川公园 was fully booked, we could only visit Yulong Snow Mountain 玉龙雪山 via 云杉坪索道, no regrets at all, also adding on to the fact that we reached the location at 7:25am to catch 日照金山. We can all be lucky the entire year! Definitely 100ways of travel

#chinaattractions My adventure to Yulong Snow Mountain began with a scenic drive through Lijiang, where the majestic, snow-capped peak slowly revealed itself against the clear blue sky. As I ascended by cable car, the crisp, thin air and panoramic views took my breath away. Standing on the observation deck, I marveled at the towering Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, its glaciers glistening in the sunlight—a timeless guardian of Yunnan’s landscape. Descending from the heights, I made my way to Blue Moon Valley, nestled at the foot of the mountain. The turquoise waters, fed by snowmelt, shimmered like liquid jade. The cascading terraces of water, with their milky-blue hue, created a surreal, dreamlike scene. Walking along the wooden paths, I paused to take in the reflection of the snowy peak mirrored perfectly in the still waters. The tranquility of Blue Moon Valley contrasted with the rugged grandeur of Yulong Snow Mountain, offering a perfect balance of natural wonder and serene beauty. It was a journey through landscapes that felt almost otherworldly—pure, pristine, and unforgettable.
