Additional information for the Day Tour on Jade Dragon Snow Mountain

"Achieving the pinnacle of Lijiang tourism" is the best summary of this Yulong Snow Mountain journey. We travel to Yunnan Lijiang, in addition to Lijiang Old Town, the highlight must be the Yulong Snow Mountain to the top, but combined with a lot of online information, sometimes seriously will be more and more confused, so the balance between free travel and itinerary arrangement efficiency is with day tour. This time I participated in the one-day Jade Dragon Snow Mountain Tour booked by Trip.com, stressing that this post is not advertising or has any interest! Pure experience sharing, as a "experienced" seeing the reviews above all 5 star reviews actually instead more afraid of whether the whole field of navy; however according to my experience I strongly recommend worth following the tour. 🗺️ Jade Dragon Snow Mountain Summit Tour highlights The basic day tour core attractions are as follows: - Yulong Snow Mountain 4680 meters above sea level, glacier park, big ropeway - Blue Moon Valley, Jade Liquid Lake - "Impression Lijiang" performance (optional) First let's talk about time 🕠 The driver will contact you one night in advance to communicate the next morning's pick-up time, usually after 5 o'clock before 6 o'clock departure, do not think a lot of time, in the middle to get a jacket, oxygen bottle, water, the trip promoted the so-called "climbing 3 treasures", to the scenic spot basically after 7 o'clock, and then depending on the ticket distributed to the ropeway time period, the master will arrange everyone's full day trip, in principle can not be missed according to the instructions, any attraction will not be missed. If you will see "Impression Lijiang", return to the hotel must be after 4 pm or even 5 pm, if not see "Impression Lijiang", expect to return to the ancient city after 3 pm. The whole journey took eleven to twelve hours, trust me, without too much pause to wait for a seat, however the trip was not as rushed; 😈😈 The myth of "climbing to the top 3 treasures" 😈😈 I believe the most people's doubts are when doing the strategy knowing that someone will sell you to purchase additional "climbing artifact" when receiving "climbing 3 treasures"; objectively speaking, we can make preparations in advance, for example, oxygen bottles can be bought in most pharmacies in Lijiang, ten to fifteen yuan a bottle; What is not mentioned in the itinerary brochure is that during the “Get the Equipment” session you will actually listen to an equipment demonstration/description/marketing of about 10 to 15 minutes lecture; Post-flatlanders better add her 20-minute effective prevention of altitude sickness supplements (I thought why not tell you that people die in the mountains every year due to altitude sickness); I am not an expert, I do not have the ability to judge the validity of the information she mentioned, I just commented on her expression and everyone is conditioned to prepare in advance according to their own state. In addition, I confirmed that I did not purchase any additional "climbing artifacts", including purchasing additional oxygen bottles in advance elsewhere; Another reference point is that the whole group of 7 people, 6 people successfully climbed to the top, 1 of whom did not use oxygen bottles, 5 people only used 1 to 2 oxygen bottles, 1 person left too slow not enough time to complete. In addition, if you have enough preparation, such as enough professional windproof, waterproof and warm, is the condition to give up not using the rented jacket, because when visiting the Blue Moon Valley, most people will wish they never rented this jacket; Blue Moon Valley Eco-Car I first went to the summit of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, and then visited the Blue Moon Valley. My experience is that when walking to the Blue Moon Valley Scenic Area shuttle bus, the driver said he had "kindly" helped you prepare an environmentally friendly car ticket for the Blue Moon Valley Scenic Area in advance, the cost is 40 yuan per person; Environmentally friendly cars, objectively speaking, may be tired after climbing to the top, may have high reaction, can be useful; but environmentally friendly cars' stops can not accurately cover all the pools of Blue Moon Valley The overall review is, a bit chicken but follow the instructions happily playing as well. 🌟 Attraction recommendation inventory 1. Yulong Snow Mountain (Snowflake Village, Yulong Naxi Autonomous County, Lijiang City, Yunnan Province) Open year-round 05:40-16:40, tickets are $60 The main peak of the snow-capped mountain is magnificent. Upon entering, you can feel the admiration of this sacred mountain by the local ethnic minorities. However, the conditions for climbing to the top are fate, the weather on the mountain is changing by the second, the sun is out under the mountain, and the mountain may be in dense clouds and rain. Just let it happen. 2. Glacier Park Grand Cableway (15 km north of ancient city, Yulong County, Lijiang) Open year-round 07:00-17:00 (entry stops at 16:00), tickets are $228 The big ropeway will lead directly to Glacier Park, take a picture at the 4680m stone monument! The process is about ten minutes, but I strongly recommend that you relax the whole way to enjoy every moment of beauty, the ropeway process you can experience through the clouds, maybe view the forest up close, maybe in the air overlooking the sea of ​​clouds, in short, not climbing to the top is actually worth it. 3. 4680m Stone Monument of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain (inside the National Scenic Spot of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain) Open all year round Another big photo spot, the stone tablet says 4680 meters, happily stand in the cloud to record once! I noticed that many people will have a slight altitude sickness when they get here. Walk slowly and don't rush. Also altitude sickness such as dizziness and headache can appear after going down the mountain, in short, heartbeat breathing pressure to use oxygen bottles, do not endure. 4. Blue Moon Valley (15 km from Yulong Naxi Autonomous County, within the National Scenic Spot) 07:00-17:00 year-round (entry closes at 16:30) The lake presents a heartwarming blue color, surrounded by mountains and forests, plus the sunny weather, the photos are super out! It is recommended to reserve time to take beautiful photos slowly. 5. Yuye Lake The green water reflects the snow-capped mountains, calm and cleansing, the lakeside canyon walk is very comfortable. 6. “Impression of Lijiang” performance + Impression of Lijiang Snow Mountain Theatre Recommended must read! The performance is shocking with the snow-capped mountains as a live stage, combining Naxi culture and Tibetan elements. The performance venue is open (it will be more sunny), remember to wear a hat and sunscreen! 🔖 Practical tips 1. Plateau reaction: The high terrain of Yulong Snow Mountain, plateau reaction is really common! It is recommended to carry oxygen bottles up the mountain, they are sold in scenic spots and some of the group members use them. Precautions taken will not affect the trip. 2. Jacket wearing: The hilltop can be very cold, rent a down jacket according to your own preparation to use. 3. Group arrangements: If you join a tour (especially booked through Trip.com), the trip time is more compact, however the quality is guaranteed. The main attractions are arranged smoothly, only photography want more beautiful views to seize the time do not procrastinate. 🍴Group meal Day Tour includes light meals, I was arranged to eat cured ribs pot, can not expect very fine, but objective evaluation taste is not bad, supplement strength should include grab time to eat; 🚗Transportation guide Generally, departing from Lijiang Old Town, the trip usually includes shuttle, which is more convenient. Others may think that self-driving would be more free and flexible, but it is said that Yulong Snow Mountain Grand Cableway tickets want to book in a private name is entirely by luck, if nothing unexpected travel agencies have monopolized most of the tickets. Another thing is, after climbing to the top, you have to get up early, whether you still have to drive so hard, depends on whether the person in charge of driving is Superman or Iron Man or the like. 🌄 Trip summary Jade Dragon Snow Mountain Day Trip is really suitable for friends who want to easily feel the magnificence of snow mountains and like to take pictures. Remember to pay attention to plateau reaction, prepare warm clothes and oxygen bottles, the trip experience will be more comfortable. #Yunnan #Yunnan Travel #Lijiang #Lijiang Travel #Lijiang Ancient City #Jade Dragon Snow Mountain #Jade Dragon Snow Mountain Guide #Jade Dragon Snow Mountain Blue Moon Valley #Jade Dragon Snow Mountain Cableway #Impression Lijiang # Jade "climbing artifact";
