Yulong Snow Mountain

Yulong Snow Mountain is located in Yulong Naxi Autonomous County, Lijiang City, Yunnan Province. It is the closest snow-capped mountain to the equator in the Northern Hemisphere. In the Naxi language, Yulong Snow Mountain is called "Olu," meaning "Heavenly Mountain." Its thirteen snow-capped peaks stretch continuously, resembling a "giant dragon" soaring and dancing, hence the name "Yulong." It is not only majestic but also beautiful and towering, with exquisite shapes, as pure as crystal jade. Against the backdrop of the blue sky, it looks like a silver jade dragon dancing eternally, hence the name Yulong Snow Mountain. There are many attractions in the scenic area, such as Blue Moon Valley, where the lake water is clear and blue, presenting magical colors from different angles and lighting, like a gem embedded in the mountains; Ganhaizi is a natural large pasture with a wide view, where you can see the full view of Yulong Snow Mountain; Glacier Park allows you to get close to the glacier and experience the charm of the ice and snow world. When visiting Yulong Snow Mountain, you can usually choose to take a cable car up the mountain. Different cable cars can reach different altitudes, and you can choose according to your physical condition and needs. At the same time, due to the high altitude, it is important to prevent altitude sickness and make corresponding preparations in advance, such as carrying anti-altitude sickness medication. There is also a unique Naxi cultural style here, and the surrounding villages and ancient towns allow you to deeply experience the local folk culture.
