What To Expect
Yulong (Jade Dragon) Mountain
The Jade Dragon (Yulong) Snow Mountain is noted as the southernmost snow mountain in the Northern Hemisphere. As a must-see attraction in Lijiang City, Yulong Snow Mountain is made up of 13 peaks with the highest one, Shanzidou, rising 5596 meters above sea level. The mountain range stretches 35 kilometers from north to south and 15 kilometers from west to east. The snowy and fog-shrouded mountain looks like a giant jade dragon seen from Lijiang Old Town, hence the name ''Jade Dragon Snow Mountain''.
Blue Moon Valley
Baishui River runs through a deep valley named Blue Moon Valley, which has the shape of crescent moon and when it is sunny the water looks blue. Seen from a distance, the valley is like a blue moon at the bottom of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain.

5.00I booked the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain Glacier Cableway with Scenic Train Tour through trip.com and overall had a positive experience. Communication: The agents were responsive and added us to a WeChat group, which made coordination convenient throughout the process. Booking Adjustment: We initially purchased tickets for Option 8, but were informed that standalone glacier park tickets require 7 days advance booking. Since we booked late, the agent offered a combo package alternative that included either Impression Lijiang show or a buffet at an additional cost. While it did feel somewhat like upselling, we acknowledge we were partly responsible for the late booking. They did provide official receipts, tickets, and helpful guidance on where to go. Transportation & Guidance: We had private car service from our accommodation near Baisha Village to the mountain, which was very convenient. Customer Care: The agents checked in with us regularly and were responsive to our needs throughout the day, which we appreciated. Important Tip: No portable oxygen was provided. I strongly recommend buying oxygen canisters the day before in the old town, as shops near the mountain are closed early in the morning—essential for the high altitude! Overall, good service and communication. Just plan ahead and book at least 7 days in advance to have more ticket options available.
Unforgettable trip to Yulong Snow Mountain!

5.00Enjoyed the private and self-customised trip to Yulong Snow Mountain. Thank you for acceding to our requests and also giving us good advice in terms of our schedule for that day. Very prompt response in communicating and our driver was very helpful and friendly too! Highly recommend!
Well timed schedule

4.00Jimmy communicates well in English. The team consistently checking on us via WeChat, ensuring the schedule all the way - which we appreciated. The weather was not on our side though as it was so cloudy we could not see the peak up close. It would be great if the tour can advise on the better weather day as we have 3 days available, and from the old town we could see clear sky on the second day…

5.00I had a great experience with Adam for my day trip to the Yak Cableway and Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. He made navigating the sites a breeze and provided lots of interesting information. The team’s communication from booking through to the day of the tour was exemplary. A wonderful way to see some of the must see attractions near Lijiang.
Great service
