Spruce Ping travel, explore the mysterious beauty of the highland forest!
1. If you don't climb the snow mountain, just buy a cable car ticket. In addition to the ticket (cable car ticket), there is also an entrance fee of 100, half price for people over 60 years old, and free admission and entrance fee for children under 1.2 meters. 3 adults and 1 child went to play the Spruce Ping cable car, and the average cost per person is just over 100, if you go with a group it's 300 to 400 per person.
2. The oxygen bottles from the pharmacy last longer than those from the convenience store. Don't buy too much oxygen as you can't use it all and can't take it with you. The driver will tell you that the purity is higher on the mountain, but the price is more expensive than buying in advance.
It's not that people who usually have less physical activity won't lack oxygen, taller people are more likely to lack oxygen and get altitude sickness. It is recommended to carry an oxygen saturation clip with you. A companion's blood oxygen dropped to 79 and heart rate to 129 when we reached the Blue Moon Valley, so we immediately gave him the remaining oxygen bottles to inhale. The oxygen saturation clip can monitor your physical condition at any time.
3. Whether you need to rent cold weather gear varies from person to person. The wind is indeed strong near the snow mountain, but as long as the sun is out it's very hot, and often you put on and take off clothes with nowhere to put them.
4. When entering Spruce Ping, those with good physical strength can walk on the footpath, and those with poor physical strength can take the electric cart. In fact, as soon as I arrived at the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain Scenic Area, I started to pant and began to inhale oxygen on the small cable car. After reaching Spruce Ping and walking a few steps, I found I couldn't walk and immediately turned back to take the electric cart. You can take photos directly after getting off the electric cart. So, measure your strength, and take the cart immediately if you can't walk. The round trip cost for one person is 20.
5. You don't need to take the electric cart to Blue Moon Valley, just take the scenic area bus to Shuiyue Pavilion and get off, which is the beautiful Blue Moon Valley. There are three sections of Blue Moon Valley, and I think the section right after getting off the bus is beautiful for taking photos.
6. Regarding dining in the scenic area, the Spruce Ping area has snack shops selling beef skewers, corn, and grilled sausages. Shuiyue Pavilion in Blue Moon Valley has many snacks, such as iron plate tofu, pan-fried dumplings, hand-grabbed pancakes, etc., with an average cost of about 20 per person. There is also an area selling tourist souvenirs in the scenic area. My brother bought the nesting dolls he liked, but the quality is average, priced between 30 to 40.
7. What clothes to bring to Yunnan? Bring clothes for all four seasons! I went to Lijiang and Dali, and the temperature in Dali is slightly higher than in Lijiang. Yunnan is cold in the morning and evening, but very hot in the afternoon, with a large temperature difference. I usually wear a thin down jacket every day, with either a short-sleeved summer top or a long-sleeved spring top underneath. The sun in Yunnan is strong, the ultraviolet rays are harsh, it's cold when windy, and exceptionally hot when sunny. I see that the restaurant owners' outfits are also a mix, with a short-sleeved tee plus a down vest, haha!
8. Looking at the whole of Yunnan, I think there's no need to join a tour group, as independent travel is so much happier without language barriers! I've seen too many cases of forced shopping and early mornings and late nights. With independent travel, you can also sleep in, take photos for as long as you want, and decide on the restaurants you want to eat at, truly wonderful!
There are too many people in Lijiang. I waited for a long time before sitting on the spruce flat cableway. There is a photo spot on the ropeway. The blue sky, white clouds and snow mountains are very beautiful. It is a meadow on the plateau.
Yulong Snow Mountain Spruce Ping is also known as a small cableway. It is more than 3,000 meters above sea level and has an area of about one square kilometer. The surrounding forest is dense with trees and dead branches upside down. Walking on the boardwalk, green grass, yaks, sheep, horses are leisurely, like a fairyland on earth! !
20230131 In the afternoon: 1. "Spruce Ping" is located in the "Yulong Snow Mountain" in the 5A scenic spot. Yulong Snow Mountain is a famous tourist attraction in the country. It is a must-check-in Internet celebrity attraction in Lijiang. Its 13 snow peaks are named as white jade dragons. They are regarded by the minority Naxi people as the incarnation of their protection god "three gods" and become the origin of Naxi culture. In history, many mountaineering teams tried to climb the main peak of Yulong Snow Mountain at an altitude of 5596 meters, "fan steep", and all ended in failure, and the mountain was covered with a mystery. The scenic spot is divided into 5 large areas: "Ganhai Ziyuan", "Spruce Ping", "Yinniuping", "Blue Moon Valley" and "Glacier Park" (the highest altitude, often out of service, it is recommended to call in advance to ask). ① Address: Yulong Naxi Autonomous County, Lijiang City. ② Transportation: There is no bus, but there is a direct train from the ancient city of Lijiang, you can also drive and follow the group, driving is very good. ③ peak season: no, but the winter snow line is the best to take pictures. ④ Note: You can bring your own nutrition agents and oxygen cylinders with strong altitude sickness, and the scenic spot is sold along the way. 2. Spruce Ping is a depression located halfway up the Yulong Snow Mountain, at an altitude of 3050 meters. The depression is covered with ungreen lawns at the end of winter. It can overlook the main peak of Yulong Snow Mountain. It is a photo spot. It is the most beautiful when the spring and summer grass is green. The science fiction screen of the toilet on the observation deck is very novel; The beauty of renting ethnic minority costumes and the totem pole is also a beautiful scenery; surrounded by towering spruce, the line is straight, the Dingdar effect cuts the sun into thin strips, and the photos are also beautiful; Along the way, the green moss, the root wrapped "determined love stone", and the cattle are good photo spots, and it takes 40 minutes to turn back to the ropeway station. There is a geological science introduction of Yulong Snow Mountain at the ropeway entrance.
The ropeway is not very long, the queue time is a bit long
