OutstandingThe attraction is worth visiting, and the price is good value for money. However, it says that it includes three treasures, but the three treasures are 9 kilometers away from the ancient city. It seems like they are just adding a service to make it look better, but they are not sincere. It would be better not to include the three treasures. If they do include them, they should consider partners who are closer to the ancient city. Otherwise, there is really no need to include this service.

Yulong Snow Mountain Photos: Trip Moments
A Magical Guesthouse in Lijiang｜Live Inside a Snow Mountain FrameSuch a hidden gem of a guesthouse, wish I had found it sooner!!! Ladies, hurry up and go💨 It's super interesting🤩 The founders of this guesthouse are actually a few lawyers who "escaped the hustle and bustle"👨⚖️ They used an entire thousand-square-meter Naxi courtyard but only built a handful of rooms! They left most of the space for the snow mountains, sunshine, and tranquility🏡 Every snapshot looks like a masterpiece📸 ✨Live inside a "frame" of the snow mountain This is probably the closest you can get to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain💯 Lying in bed you can see the snow mountain, soaking in the tub you can see the snow mountain, drinking tea you can see the snow mountain... amazing! Especially in the early morning🌄 The golden sunlight gradually "makes up" the snow mountain, it's truly healing～ 🏡Minimalist natural wood style + old Naxi courtyard The designer nailed it! Traditional Naxi residence + modern minimalist style perfectly combined👏 Afternoon sunlight streams through the window lattice💫 Drawing a "light and shadow artwork" on the floor, warm and soothing☀️ 🛏️Room experience Every room has a direct snow mountain view! Equipped with bathroom speakers🎵 smart toilets, bathtubs🛁... soaking in the tub at night while watching the starry snow mountain✨ Life is worth it when you're this tired! Also pet-friendly🐶 📍Guesthouse info Name: Lijiang · Guesthouse Address: North end of Baisha Ancient Town, Gucheng District, Lijiang City Nearby: - 20-minute walk to Baisha Ancient Town - 22-minute taxi ride to Shuhe Ancient Town - 30-minute drive to Dayan Ancient Town Recommended stay: 2-3 days Suitable for: couples, besties, sisters with pets You can really put down your phone here and daydream from morning till night without getting bored! Already on my list of favorite guesthouses of the year💕ANDREW TURNER17
Dragon Girl Lake: The Blue Tear Beneath the Snow Mountain🌟 Highlights at a Glance Snow Mountain Mirror Lake: Dragon Girl Lake is a natural lake at the foot of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. The water is clear and blue, and on sunny days, it perfectly reflects the thirteen peaks of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, resembling a "blue tear" embedded in the meadow. Pristine Pasture: The lakeside is surrounded by alpine meadows and primeval forests, where herds of cattle and horses graze leisurely. The Tibetan cultural atmosphere blends perfectly with the natural tranquility, earning it the nickname "Little New Zealand of Lijiang." Free and Less Crowded: Compared to popular scenic spots, this place has fewer visitors and no entrance fee (only a 30 RMB sightseeing bus fee during peak season), making it ideal for escaping crowds and enjoying the healing vibe of the snow mountain and lake. 📅 Travel Guide ▪️ Morning 6:00-9:00: Golden Sunlight Reflection Stay overnight in Yuhu Village (Stone Homestay, about 150 RMB per person), then hike to the eastern lakeside meadow before dawn (about 20 minutes) to wait for the sunrise that dyes the snow mountain golden. The lake surface acts like a mirror reflecting the "double golden mountain" spectacle (requires calm and clear weather). ▪️ Late Morning 10:00-12:00: Lakeside Pastoral Experience Horse Riding Around the Lake: Rent a local Naxi herder’s Yunnan horse (50 RMB/hour) and ride along the lakeside grass, capturing stunning prairie photos with the jingling of horse bells (wearing white or red long dresses makes for better photos). Picnic Time: Bring your own tsampa, butter tea, and Lijiang baba (local bread), and enjoy them sitting on the meadow facing the snow mountain and lake view. All trash must be taken away. ▪️ Afternoon 14:00-16:00: Explore Yuhu Village Stone Ancient Village Walk: Walk 10 minutes to Yuhu Village to see the unique sight of houses built with glacial stones. Visit the former residence of American explorer Joseph Rock (25 RMB entrance fee) to learn about the background of "Lost Horizon." Coffee Break: Rest at the "Wuluken" café in the village, order a cup of Yunnan small bean coffee (38 RMB), and gaze at the snow mountain in a daze. ▪️ Dusk 17:00-19:00: Sunset Silhouette Photography Return to Dragon Girl Lake before sunset to shoot silhouettes of "people, horses, and snow mountain" using the soft light (best spot: western lakeside slope). You might catch dynamic scenes of herds of sheep returning. 📸 Must-Visit Photo Spots Lake Center Reflection: When there is no wind, crouch low to shoot symmetrical compositions of the snow mountain reflected on the water. A polarizing filter is recommended to reduce glare. Meadow Lone Tree: On the north side of the lake, there is a solitary dead tree. Lean against it and look out at the snow mountain to create a lonely cinematic scene. Herding Horses Welcoming Snow: Ask herders to lead horses to stand in the shallow water and capture natural moments of horses drinking with the snow mountain as the backdrop. 🌿 Exclusive Experiences Starry Sky Camping: In summer nights, you can camp by the lake (bring your own tent). The Milky Way rises from the snow mountain peak, and at 3 a.m., star trails are visible to the naked eye (remember to keep warm). Naxi Home Visit: Book a visit to a Yuhu Village family (30 RMB/person), learn to make butter tea, milk a yak, and listen to elders tell the legend of the "Dragon Girl turning into the lake." 💡 Travel Tips Transportation: Rent an electric bike in Lijiang Old Town (models with over 80 km range, about 80 RMB/day), and ride for 1 hour to "Dragon Girl Lake" using navigation; Or take bus route 17 to the entrance of Yuhu Village, then walk 2 km (free but infrequent service, check real-time schedules). Avoid Pitfalls: During peak season (October to February), there may be checkpoints at the village entrance requiring a 30 RMB round-trip sightseeing bus fee. Enter before 7 a.m. to drive directly; Refuse roadside "high-priced horse riding packages" and negotiate prices directly with lakeside herders. Gear: Windproof jacket, sunglasses, high-top waterproof shoes (due to heavy dew on the meadow), cash (weak signal). Best Seasons: November to March: The lake water is bluest during the dry season, and the snow mountain has abundant snow; May to June: Wildflowers bloom on the meadow, but the rainy season often brings clouds and fog covering the mountain.beadlikebrianna66
Winter Family Trip to Wenhai Village, Lijiang｜Unforgettable Healing Snow SceneryIn December, Wenhai Village in Lijiang is a fairy tale world blessed by white snow. Away from the bustling ancient town, the winter here is quiet and beautiful. Bringing kids here allows for a warm and cozy family time. Stepping into Wenhai Village, under the clear blue sky, the snow-covered meadows and pastures stretch endlessly. The lake looks even clearer in winter, and Jade Dragon Snow Mountain sketches a handsome outline in the distance. Horses, cattle, and sheep stroll leisurely on the snow, and the children excitedly run over, carefully greeting the animals. The scene is warm and healing. The "Lismann Suye" guesthouse where we stayed is a hidden gem nestled in this beautiful scenery. Built with wood and stone, it blends naturally with the environment. The rooms are simply and comfortably decorated, and they even prepared a small tent and toys for the kids. In the morning, sitting with the children on the viewing terrace, watching the mountain mist slowly dissipate, and sunlight shining on the snow feels like a fairyland; in the evening, joining the guesthouse’s around-the-fire tea brewing activity, chatting with other guests, and the kids can make new friends. During the stay at Suye, we experienced feeding small animals, snow trekking, making ethnic handicrafts, and other activities with the kids. Every day was full of new experiences for the children. This kind of winter family trip brings children closer to nature and deepens the parent-child bond. 🏨 Accommodation Tip: Wenhai Lake View Inn in Wenhai Village, Lijiang, is also a good choice. The lake-view rooms offer direct views of the snow, and the family facilities are well equipped.MatthewCruz123~

Family Trip to Wenhai Village, Yunnan in December｜A Fairy Tale Snowy Adventure with KidsIn December, Wenhai Village in Lijiang is transformed by snow into a dreamy fairy tale world. When the hustle and bustle of Lijiang Old Town fades away, the true tranquility here emerges. Bringing kids to this land starts a healing family journey. Under the clear blue sky, the vast meadow pastures are wrapped in white snow, like a soft white velvet carpet. Lakes are embedded like gems, and the distant Jade Dragon Snow Mountain stands quietly, guarding this land. Herds of horses, cattle, and sheep stroll leisurely across the wilderness. Children chase after the animals, and every breath is filled with the spirit of freedom and the wild. The "Lismann Suye" guesthouse is hidden in this peaceful place, built by the mountains and water, perfectly blending into the natural environment. The architecture uses a lot of local timber and stone, simple and primitive. Children touch the rough wood grain, feeling the warmth of nature. Waking up in the morning before the mist has cleared, sitting with the kids on the private viewing terrace, watching cattle and sheep stroll on the meadow, horses drinking by the lake, with warm milk steaming in hand, the city's noise instantly fades away. During the three days at Suye, time seems to slow down. Feeding deer and lambs with the kids, building snowmen in the snow, participating in ethnic handicraft activities organized by the guesthouse—the children have endless fun. True luxury family time is not about material accumulation but this kind of freedom to breathe with the mountains and rivers. 🏨 Accommodation Tips: Besides Lismann Suye, you can also choose the Pastoral Cottage in Wenhai Village. Its simple style combined with cozy family facilities makes it perfect for staying with kids.Thompson_6~Hazel
Lijiang Family Trip｜InterContinental Hotel Stay Experience + Ancient Town Kid-Friendly GuideStayed three nights with kids at the Lijiang InterContinental Hotel, and the overall experience was fantastic—highly recommended for families with children~ The biggest advantage is the excellent location! Lijiang Ancient Town is the largest and most developed ancient town, and the InterContinental Hotel is right next to it. The hotel has a private passage that allows direct access to the ancient town. When the kids get tired from exploring, you can return to the hotel anytime to rest without the hassle of going back and forth—super convenient. The hotel grounds are amazing, composed of small villas, each containing six rooms. The area is quiet and peaceful with fresh air, more comfortable and pleasant than inside the ancient town. Kids can run and play freely in the garden, getting close to nature. The rooms are spacious and fully equipped. While not overly luxurious, they fully meet the needs of families with children. Service is responsive, and any requests are promptly addressed; the shuttle within the grounds is available on demand, so you don’t have to walk and tire the kids—very worry-free. The hotel lobby café bar is a great spot for family relaxation. The coffee tastes excellent, and on clear days, you can see the magnificent Jade Dragon Snow Mountain directly from the café. Enjoying coffee while admiring the view with your kids makes for a pleasant and beautiful family time. Breakfast is relatively ordinary, but for convenience, you can try the rice noodles and wontons freshly made by the auntie on-site, which taste pretty good; if you want a change, you can enter the ancient town directly from the hotel and find various specialty breakfast shops to satisfy both kids and parents. Additionally, right next to the hotel is the Indigo Hotel. Both hotels share garden facilities, and Indigo’s interior decoration is more modern. Parents with kids can also consider it and choose based on preference. Accommodation tips: Besides the Lijiang InterContinental Hotel, there are other excellent family-friendly options nearby, such as Lijiang Ancient Town Anyu Hotel and Bantang·White House, with complete facilities and great experiences.BED.

A rooftop secret under the snowy mountainStumbling upon "Yueshan Homestay" in Shuhe Ancient Town, Lijiang, was the biggest surprise of my trip✨ Opening the door, the wooden-style bedroom is as clean as a cloud☁️ Lying down, you can smell the scent of grass and trees outside the window. But the rooftop terrace is the real highlight—the green-tiled roof, with a rattan chair soaking up the sunlight🌞 Looking up, the sharp peaks of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain pierce the blue sky, making the ancient town’s white walls and gray tiles look gentle. The roses in the flowerpots are wrapped in creamy colors, the impatiens burst into a cluster of pink💐 Even the strawflower gathers small orange-pink gradient fluffy balls, every snap is perfect for a "putting the snowy mountain in your pocket" social media post📸 Sitting by the long table at dusk, the wind carries the floral fragrance through your hair, making daydreaming a serious activity~ No need to squeeze into the crowds of Lijiang Old Town; here, stepping downstairs leads to the stone-paved road of Shuhe, and a 5-minute walk brings you to the moss-covered Qinglong Bridge🌿 Returning at night, the stars on the terrace shine brighter than the lights of the old town. This isn’t just a homestay; it’s like bringing "a little spring under the snowy mountain" onto the rooftop🌄 Staying here, even the air you breathe tastes sweet~SophiaAnderson2
Yulong Snow Mountain Panoramic Viewpoint11.19📍Yulong Snow Mountain has returned, and there is snow❄️ For anyone heading to Yulong Snow Mountain, there is snow now!! ❄️ For friends planning to visit Yulong Snow Mountain in November-December, make sure to bring appropriate warm clothing. Here are some outfit suggestions and travel tips to help those visiting soon 👇🏻 - Outfit Suggestions👚 1️⃣ Upper body: Waterproof jacket + lightweight down vest + thermal underwear (the wind at the summit is strong, a down jacket alone isn’t windproof enough and it gets really cold) 2️⃣ Lower body: Fleece-lined pants + thermal leggings, bring a mask as the wind can hurt your face! Gloves are a must, preferably touchscreen-compatible so you don’t freeze your hands when taking photos. Hat and scarf are essential due to strong winds at the summit 3️⃣ Shoes: Definitely wear non-slip, waterproof hiking boots! Some parts of the mountain have snow or ice, ordinary shoes are easy to slip in, so be extra careful when running - Things You Don’t Need to Bring‼️ ❌ Don’t bring too many heat packs, you’ll sweat while hiking and too many will make you feel stuffy, just bring a few as backup ❌ No need to buy oxygen tanks online in advance, you can buy them in Lijiang Old Town at reasonable prices, one bottle per person is usually enough Tips: Bring a thermos! The temperature is low on the mountain, drinking hot water will make you feel much more comfortable. Don’t forget power banks and sunscreen, the UV rays are strong at high altitude - 🏔Must-Visit Scenic Spots at Yulong Snow Mountain 1⃣ Gan Haizi Viewing Platform: A wide meadow at the foot of the snow mountain, perfect for capturing the panoramic view of the thirteen peaks of Yulong. The sunrise casting golden light on the snow mountain is stunning, just dress warmly if you arrive early 2⃣ Blue Moon Valley Viewing Platform: Walk along the wooden boardwalk by the lake, every angle offers shots of the blue-green water and snow mountain reflections. In the afternoon, the sunlight refracts like a spilled jewel box💧 3⃣ Yak Meadow Viewing Platform: The view from the middle cable car is very wide, you can see the snow mountain, meadow, and forest in one frame. There are far fewer people here compared to the big cable car - 📝Helpful Tips (1) It’s best to bring oxygen when going to Yulong Snow Mountain! Eat breakfast early and prepare energy snacks🍭 to ensure you have enough strength for hiking (2) Spruce Meadow and Yak Meadow are in different directions; if you don’t want to get too tired, just choose one (3) Be cautious about going to Yak Meadow on rainy days! The middle cable car is not enclosed and you can get wet in the rain (4) There are various crafts and specialties in the scenic area, don’t buy anything too expensive to avoid counterfeit goods (5) Drones are prohibited on Yulong Snow Mountain; if caught, you will be fined, so don’t take any chances - 🚌【Yulong Snow Mountain One-Day Tour Recommendations】 Package 1⃣ Yulong Snow Mountain Big Cable Car (Glacier Park) + Blue Moon Valley One-Day Tour Package 2⃣ Yulong Snow Mountain Big Cable Car (Glacier Park) + Blue Moon Valley + Impression Lijiang One-Day Tour Package 3⃣ Yulong Snow Mountain Middle Cable Car + Blue Moon Valley One-Day Tour Package 4⃣ Yulong Snow Mountain Small Cable Car + Blue Moon Valley One-Day Tour .

Back from Suffering in Lijiang - Here's My Honest TakeOMG fam! Before going to Lijiang I imagined "sunshine warming my heart", but came back with "exhaustion weighing me down"😂 Here's my sincere survival guide - read this before booking! 🌚 Those overhyped traps I fell into for you: - Romantic encounters in old town? Don't be naive! Bar "hype crews" will lure you to drink - 88 yuan for a "Wind Flower Snow Moon" beer that'll leave your wallet crying😭 - Instagrammable photo shoots? The 199 yuan package seems cheap until you pay extra 50 for costumes, 30 for fake lashes... Final retouched photos cost more than my daily meals! All shots look like "assembly-line Naxi princesses" - Yak jerky? The "100 yuan for 3 bags" deal in town turned out to be pork as primary ingredient... Masterclass scam right there ✅ Actually useful survival tips: - Where to stay? Skip crowded Dayan Old Town! Shaxi Ancient Town is quieter and cheaper - got a courtyard homestay for 150/night where the owner served us homemade rushan cheese😋 - Transport? Never take those "rickshaws" in town! They'll charge 50 yuan for 300m. Better rent an e-bike - 20 yuan gets you around all day🛵 - Food? Avoid main streets! Found "Granny's Cured Ribs" in an alley - 120 yuan fed 4 people to bursting, with free refills on plum juice - Must-pack: - Sunscreen! UV rays will turn you "plateau red" - Comfy shoes! 20,000 steps daily is no joke - Cash! Some shops have terrible signal for mobile payments 🌟 Truly worthwhile experiences: - Dawn at Black Dragon Pool Park - locals' exercise spot with free reflection shots of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain (10x prettier than paid viewpoints) - Sunset at Qingxi Reservoir - sit on the grass watching mountain hues change, meet auntie selling roasted potatoes (5 yuan for huge bag) - Find an old teahouse - sip "snow tea" with flower cakes while listening to owners' stories of old Lijiang. This is the real slow life~ Final truth: Lijiang isn't unfun - it's just covered in commercial dust. Skip the influencer traps to find its genuine warmth❤️ScienceNerd123134

The attraction is worth visiting, and the price is good value for money. However, it says that it includes three treasures, but the three treasures are 9 kilometers away from the ancient city. It seems like they are just adding a service to make it look better, but they are not sincere. It would be better not to include the three treasures. If they do include them, they should consider partners who are closer to the ancient city. Otherwise, there is really no need to include this service.
Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is a sacred mountain for the Naxi people. Its 13 snow-capped peaks stretch like a jade dragon, while Blue Moon Valley boasts azure waters like a jewel. The cable car takes you to 4680 meters for close-up views of the glaciers. With its breathtaking scenery and rich cultural heritage, it's a must-visit destination in Yunnan.
Recommended, stunning view. Unforgettable memories ever. U guys must add in the wishlist. Thr place must go when visiting lijiang
❤️Yulong Snow Mountain is so beautiful! Its beauty makes me linger. ✨First of all, the peaks of Yulong Snow Mountain are towering into the clouds, and the top of the mountain is covered with snow all year round. It shines silver under the sunshine, which is very spectacular. ✨ Secondly, the ecological environment of Yulong Snow Mountain is also very good. There are large tracts of virgin forests and alpine meadows on the mountain, as well as many rare animals and plants. ✨ In addition, the service of Yulong Snow Mountain is also very thoughtful. There are many rest stops and restaurants in the scenic area, providing a variety of food and drinks, so that tourists can enjoy food while enjoying the beautiful scenery. The staff in the scenic area are also very enthusiastic and provide a lot of help and guidance to tourists. ❤️❤️❤️ In general, Yulong Snow Mountain is a place worth visiting. Its beautiful scenery makes people linger, its ecological environment makes people feel the charm of nature, and its service makes people feel very considerate.
There is a bus No. 101 that goes directly to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain from the south gate of Lijiang Old Town, which takes one hour to arrive. There are four main scenic spots in Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, Blue Moon Valley (you can go there alone or go there after other cableways), Glacier Park (large cableway, go to the top of the mountain), Yunshanping (Yunshanping cableway, a good location to see the snow-capped mountains), and Yakping (Yakping cableway). You need thick clothes and oxygen cylinders to go to the large cableway, but not to go to other places. Yunshanping is a spruce forest and lawn on the mountainside, with the snow-capped mountains behind it, and the scenery is nice. Blue Moon Valley is a few lakes in the mountains. The lake is not big, but the blue-green lake water is very clear and beautiful.
It is worth going. After living in a fast-paced city for a long time, I feel relaxed when I come here. I chose Yunshanping, which is relatively low in altitude, because it is not recommended to go so high with children. The Blue Moon Valley at the foot of the mountain is so beautiful. Fortunately, the weather and sunshine were great that day, so the photos were very beautiful! The beauty of nature can really heal sometimes❤️🩹 Life is bumpy, and it depends on travel to mend it. I hope you can be just as happy!
