Create an itinerary including Yulong (Jade Dragon) Mountain
Explore Yulong (Jade Dragon) Mountain, a snow-covered massif which looks like a jade-colored dragon lying amidst the clouds. Geologists say that hundreds of millions years ago this landmass sat beneath an ocean and in time it started to rise gradually, reaching the current heights of 5,600 m (18,360 ft). The holy and serene mountain shelters many rare animals, wild plant life, and primeval forests, as well as glaciers surrounding its peak. Hike through the chilled landscape, where nature flourishes and also adapts to altitude difference. Besides mountaineering, sightseeing, and exploring, you can also visit the Naxi ethnic minority to learn about their widespread legends and customs.

  • The views at the top are worth seeing but we wish we would have gotten there earlier to avoid the crowds. We got to the cableway (it is very needed) around 4 pm and waited 40 minutes to go up and 30.....  more

  • We took a taxi ordered by our hotel for 200 rmb. Tickets were available with no problems. No long lanes to bus or cableway. Maybe because the weather was not so good. But up was really fantastic...

  • This place is so beautiful but can get very crowded over time. Try to arrive early in the morning to avoid long queue. The turquoise color lake provides a scenic landscape for photography. Prepare your own oxygen can before going up there as you might experience high altitude sickness
  • A great giant mountain with amazing view. You might be shocked by all these breathtaking landscape. Careful, you might feel dizzy due to the high altitude. Take the cable car to get on the observation point. If you want to reach the highest spot, you need to take a walk to reach it.
  • The mountain view is great if the weather is good with little fog, personally I think the blue moon valley is prettier (see photos). Very crowded most of the time but crowd management is ok, be prepared to queue at the cable car and shuttle bus station.
  • I love this place in China. This is my First time when I visited. I feel excited and my chinese group very friendly. It is my top favorite place when I travel around my country. I take a lot of photo here. I feel so cold when climb to the top of mountain. Remeber that day make me feel better. I want to travel to more place like this and I think I learn more experience that I never got. Thank you for the friend group for take care me and my gf. I miss them. ;)
  • Spectacular view from the top. Arrived at the top by cable car that elevates to 4,608 and need to walk a little to reach to the summit. Breathless attraction. A must when visiting Lijiang👍👍
