✅✅ Yunnan Weather and Clothing 🌈 The average weather in March is 5-20 degrees, relatively warm compared to other places 🧣 Clothing: Due to the large temperature difference between morning and evening in Yunnan, and higher temperatures during the day, you can prepare jackets, long sleeves, skirts, etc. Strategies for climbing the snow mountain 🛠️ 1. Make sure to prepare the right equipment before you go! Otherwise, you will regret it. Don't be fooled by the light clothing you see online; people often dress down briefly for photos, but in reality, it's freezing cold. 2. Precautions before climbing: Bring a fluffy hat, not a baseball cap or a duckbill cap, which are useless, don't cover the ears, and can be blown away by the wind. 3. Beauties should bring good sunscreen & moisturizer, lip balm, and a mask. Yunnan has strong ultraviolet rays and strong winds, which can be tough on the skin. At night, your face can get sunburned and frostbitten, so apply some moisturizer and lip balm in the evening. 4. Bring good gloves (not fingerless ones, as the exposed parts will freeze), and you can buy touchscreen gloves so you don't have to take them off. Otherwise, when you take off your gloves to take photos on Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, your hands will freeze and make you question life. 5. You can start using oxygen when sitting on the cable car. Don't wait until you feel uncomfortable to start; inhaling for more than three seconds is effective. After getting off the cable car at 4500.6 meters, there is still a distance to the summit at 4680 meters, which requires climbing a staircase of more than 1800 steps with an altitude difference of 100 meters. Take a breath of oxygen every three or four steps. Climb the snow mountain slowly, rest when you feel a bit out of breath, and avoid sudden and intense movements, as this can easily cause altitude sickness. Keep a steady pace when climbing. Don't sit down immediately when resting, and especially don't squat, as it can easily lead to oxygen deficiency! It takes about 30 minutes to reach the summit, but do it according to your capacity! (Remember this!) 6. There are no shortcuts on Jade Dragon Snow Mountain!! After returning in the evening, don't go to sleep immediately, no matter how tired you are. Go to a well-ventilated place to relax for a while, and if you feel any discomfort, don't think it will pass; seek medical attention promptly. 7. After returning, do not drink alcohol, take a bath, or wash your hair. Bathing in a closed environment accelerates blood circulation and increases the demand for oxygen, disrupting the body's adaptation process and can easily cause post-altitude sickness reactions. 8. Get plenty of sleep the night before, and go to bed early. (Jade Dragon Snow Mountain entrance fee: 100 yuan/person, big cable car ticket: 140 yuan/person) Tickets are snapped up promptly at 22:00. Precautions ✔ ① Prepare for altitude sickness before going up the mountain. It is recommended to take Rhodiola rosea, compound aminophenol methanolamine, and other drugs a week in advance to alleviate altitude sickness. Also, maintain good rest and diet before going up the mountain. ② The temperature on the mountain is low, so it is recommended to wear down jackets or cotton-padded clothes for warmth. ③ The ultraviolet rays are strong, so bring good sunglasses. It often rains in summer, so remember to bring an umbrella. ④ Bring your ID card (the cable car is boarded by swiping your ID card), water, chocolate, oxygen bottles, and other essential items. ⑤ Pay attention to safety issues, do not go to dangerous places like the edge of a cliff. ⑥ Respect the local culture and customs, protect the natural environment, and do not disturb the ecological balance.

This beautiful pearl is located 31 kilometers outside LiJiang, inside Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. This is an absolute must see place. Because it s so popular it can be a little bit crowded, but you can still enjoy in 4 hour hike around like (or more if you like 😁). Coming to Blue Moon Valley, you can take a bus, or taxi (80ish RMB for a ride). After that you have to buy bus ticket 20rmb per person that takes you first to three cable cars lines : Glacier cable car, Yak meadow cable car and Yunshanping cable car. We visited Yunshanping where is beautiful grass field, and you have wonderful view on mountains and forest. After that there is a bus that takes you to blue moon valley. There you can spend relaxed afternoon chilling by the water and enjoying wonderful blue color. This is definitely must see place. #gorgeousyunnan #lijiang #bluemoonvalley

Also known as Yulong Snow Mountain, this is a stunning area of natural beauty This area is located only 15km North of the Northern part of Liljiang, tickets cost 230RMB to enter However, we chose to visit as part of a tour and here is why… - This area is subject to windy conditions, when we visited the cableway to the top was delayed by an hour due to weather. Without a tour guide we would not have understood what was happening - This area is extremely large, mini electric cars and tour buses are used to shuttle people to different scenic areas - There were many different buses to take you to different sections, by staying with a group it ensured we got to see everything without getting on the wrong bus! - Meet new people! We met some great people on our tour who also helped with translation and explain what was happening at different times #lakes

TAKE A DEEP BREATH! Yulong Mountain’s elevation is too high so we need to use bottled oxygen. One step at a time to reach the top! deep breath in for 5 seconds then breath out to exercise the lungs and circulation. We climbed Yulong around 8AM the earlier the better less people and also it’s best to prepare breakfast and warm water for the hike! don’t bring too much to carry it will be a adventurous climb! enjoy! #urbanexplorer #yuanshanping #lijiang #yunnan #china #explorewithtony #naturelover #adventure #life #photographersdayoff #leaveyourmark

For photography enthusiasts, capture the breathtaking sight of snow-capped peaks reflected in the azure waters of Blue Moon Valley at the foot of the mountain. ✨ Tips • Temperatures are low and oxygen is scarce at high altitudes, so it's recommended to bring warm clothing and altitude sickness medication. • The cable car ride offers the best view, while the hiking route is suitable for those with more energy. • Morning and dusk are the most beautiful times to capture the stunning light and shadows of the snow-capped mountains. ⸻ 🔖 Tags #JadeDragonSnowMountain #LijiangTravel #GlacierPark #AlpineSnowScenery #YunnanSnowMountains #BlueMoonValley #NaturalWonder

The sunrise over the Golden Mountain is a dreamlike moment in the snow-capped mountains of the plateau, especially on sacred peaks like the Meili Snow Mountain. When the first rays of morning light pierce through the mist, golden light shimmers across the white snow, and the entire peak glows as if ablaze, emitting a mysterious and majestic aura. At this moment, the world seems frozen in an eternal scene, captivating and enchanting. Waiting for the sunrise over the Golden Mountain requires perseverance and patience in the early morning, often accompanied by a slight chill and mist. But when the golden glow illuminates the mountains, all fatigue instantly dissipates. It is not only a visual feast but also a spiritual cleansing, allowing one to experience the majesty of nature and the awe of life. The Tibetans here deeply believe that the Golden Mountain is a sacred symbol, and countless believers make pilgrimages each year to worship this sun-kissed holy place. 🌿 Traveler's Notes: • Best viewing season: Autumn (September to November), when the weather is clear and the views of the Golden Mountain are at their best. • Recommended equipment: Bring warm clothing and sunscreen, as the early morning temperatures are low and the sun is strong. • Recommended Locations: Meili Snow Mountain Observation Deck and near Feilai Temple.

We went to Lijiang without doing any research beforehand on activities or planning. Our intention was to relax for a week, but we still wanted to see the surroundings and not miss out on anything special. We joined a small tour group that was arranged by our home stay host. We got picked up around 5AM and arrived an hour later at the ropeway. We were given an oxygen bottle and a winter jacket. The ropeway doesn’t open until 7-8, so we waited for sunrise. It was foggy and windy at first, but when going up, it started to get sunny. So this sight was quite magical because the view changed multiple times on our way up. Going up the mountain by cable car was a whole experience by itself, after having seen the mountain from afar for a few days. Once we got to the top, it turned out we were not allowed to stay more than 1 hour due to the altitude. We would also need to walk some stairs up to get to the top. It was about -3 degrees, so not too cold. There were a lot of people already, but the peak time started around 10AM. It got even foggier due to snowfall and couldn’t see anything, so mid-way I turned around and walked back to the cable car as I was running out of time. The view reminded me of Switzerland somehow. #snowmountain Although I didn’t expect to see so many food shops at the mountain top. After we got back down, we took the park bus to blue valley. The view was surreal, stunning. #magicalplace Unfortunately it was crowded due to its popularity. This ended up being the only day tour we joined for the week. It was the highlight of our week and we didn’t find the need anymore to do other arranged day trips. LOL Taking Didi taxi’s to other nearby ancient town and walking around was content enough. 💰Average Price per Person:€60

Avoid sitting across the firepit in Naxi culture; do not step on prayer flags in Tibetan areas. Final tip: Yunnan travel requires a "slow pace," recommend staying 2-3 days at each place, flexibly adjusting the itinerary according to seasonal features (such as Lugu Lake Water Flower Season, Dali March Street Festival).

Standing at the foot of 玉龙雪山 (Jade Dragon Snow Mountain) was humbling—its snow-capped peaks glittered under the sun like a dragon’s spine! 🐉✨ I took the cable car up to Glacier Park (4,506m) and gasped at the panoramic views of the Himalayas. Pro tip: Rent a down jacket + oxygen canister at the base if you’re not acclimated! The ancient Naxi culture adds magic to the landscape—don’t miss the Impression Lijiang show at the foothills. #YulongSnowMountain #LijiangAdventures #ChinaTravelTips #HighAltitudeMagic #ExploreYunnan

Lijiang is a beautiful and peaceful place

🗓️Itinerary: 0700～Rizhao Jinshan 0800～Yulong Snow Mountain Cableway 0830～Yulong Snow Mountain 4580 meters 1000～Yulong Snow Mountain 4680 meters 1300～Ganhaizi Impression of Yunnan 💞Reason for recommendation: Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is the sacred mountain of the Naxi people. Of course you have to climb it when you come to Lijiang! Remember to prepare two oxygen tanks before going up the mountain in case of emergency! Here you can not only enjoy the beautiful snow-capped mountain scenery, but also challenge yourself. Walking from 4580 to 4680 seems simple, but it is not at all. It is much more difficult than normal mountain climbing on the plains!

Lijiang is located on the southern edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the northwest Yunnan Plateau. It borders Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture and Panzhihua City to the east, Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture to the south, and Nujiang Lisu Autonomous Prefecture to the northwest. Homo sapiens were active in Lijiang as early as the Paleolithic Age. During the Warring States period, Lijiang belonged to Shu County of the Qin State. After Chu Zhuangqiao opened up the Yunnan area, it became part of the Dian Kingdom. Lijiang boasts three major heritages: World Cultural Heritage, Natural Heritage, and Memory of the World Register. It also features the Naxi Dongba culture and the Lugu Lake matriarchal culture. Yulong Snow Mountain is a mountain range within Lijiang, belonging to the Hengduan Mountains. It is adjacent to the Tiger Leaping Gorge to the west and stands alongside the Zhongdian Snow Mountain. Located 5 kilometers north of Lijiang, it unfolds like a fan facing the ancient city. Its highest peak reaches 5,596 meters. Thirteen snow-capped peaks stretch from south to north, resembling a giant dragon, hence the name "Yulong" (Jade Dragon). Because it is mainly composed of limestone and basalt, appearing black and white, it is considered the sacred mountain of the Naxi people. The Jinmao Purelax Mountain Hotel Lijiang is situated opposite Yulong Snow Mountain in the Ganhaizi Meadow area at an altitude of 3,200 meters. It blends modern and ethnic characteristics, integrating seamlessly with Yulong Snow Mountain. The outdoor balcony offers direct views of the stunning Yulong Snow Mountain. In the morning, you can witness the sunrise illuminating the golden mountain, and in the evening, you can enjoy a delicious local yak hot pot. Driving from Dali to Lijiang, we first checked in at the InterContinental Dali Resort. The hotel's location is superb, with the ancient city just a step outside the back door. This trip focused on exploring Lijiang Ancient City, specifically Dayan Ancient Town. We picked up our mountain entry permits at the Grand Hyatt Lijiang and visited Baisha Ancient Town on our way to the Yulong Snow Mountain scenic area. We stayed at the most beautiful snow mountain hotel, the Jinmao Purelax Mountain Hotel Lijiang. The hotel service was excellent. From pre-arrival to post-stay, the Jinmao Purelax Hotel guest service official account provided helpful travel guidance and assistance. The hotel room was exceptional, offering a wonderful experience of Yulong Snow Mountain and a sense of harmony with nature. Remember to book your cable car tickets in advance. Taking the cable car up Yulong Snow Mountain is very convenient, making the trip worthwhile. We stayed for two nights and it snowed. It iced over at night. The scenery was truly breathtaking. However, when we were checking out at noon, our old diesel SUV wouldn't start. What could we do? The bellhop was incredibly kind. He drove his own car over and, with the help of the engineering staff, quickly got our car started. It was fantastic! A first-class hotel with first-class staff. An unforgettable experience. Farewell, Lijiang! Farewell, Jinmao Purelax! Farewell, Yulong Snow Mountain! Next stop: Shangri-La. A wonderful journey awaits!
