🏔️Yulong Snow Mountain Nanny Level Strategy (Lazy Version) 1️⃣ One-day itinerary for Yulong Snow Mountain: Yunshanping-Blue Moon Valley-Glacier Park. If you don’t get up early, you won’t see the golden mountain in the sun. Approximate time arrangement: 7:00 Get up, wash, put on makeup, pack your backpack 8:00 Set out to have breakfast nearby 9:00 Arrive at the Yulong Snow Mountain Visitor Center and go straight to the Yunshanping Scenic Area bus stop 10:00 Arrive at Yunshanping, the play time is about 2 hours (walk and take photos) 12:30 Arrive at Blue Moon Valley, the play time is 30-60 minutes 13:30 Take the bus back to the Visitor Center and have dinner 14:30 Go to Glacier Park 16:00 Arrive at 4680 meters 16:30 Queue up to take the cable car down the mountain (queue up as early as possible, there are really many people) 2️⃣ About ticket prices: 1. Entrance fee: 100 yuan/person (half price for students with student ID: 50 yuan) 2. Iceberg Park Cableway + Scenic Area Bus 140 yuan/person 3. Yunshanping Cableway 40 yuan/person ⚠️After buying the Bingshan Park Cableway + Scenic Area Bus 140 yuan, Yunshanping does not need to pay 20 yuan for the scenic area bus! When paying, it will show 40 yuan/person, please confirm! 4. Blue Moon Valley is free 5. Yak Ping is 45 yuan per person (I didn’t go there due to time and energy) How to grab tickets: Search "Lijiang Tourism Group" - Snow Mountain Ticketing - Glacier Park Cableway - 140 yuan to buy tickets ⚠️Grab the tickets at 8 o'clock in the evening the day in advance, fill in the tourist information in advance, and choose the number and time of tickets ⚠️I don't think it's difficult to grab them~ After buying them, I saw that there were still tickets available within three minutes. Many people are stuck at the last step, the verification code. My verification code is three symbols. Open your eyes and pay attention! 3️⃣How to get there: It takes half an hour to get to Shuhe Ancient Town by taxi, which costs about 50 yuan. It is difficult to get a taxi in the morning, so make arrangements in advance. ⚠️ Navigate to Xuechu Restaurant or the Visitor Center to get off 4️⃣ Yunshanping and Blue Moon Valley: Follow the instructions at the visitor center to take the scenic area bus to the Yunshanping cable car, and then take the cable car back to the scenic area bus boarding point. There is a small booth next to it where you can buy a sightseeing bus to Blue Moon Valley for 50 yuan per person. ❗️Don’t buy it! Because the next stop of the scenic area bus Yunshanping is Blue Moon Valley! Just a few minutes away! We have already paid for the scenic area bus💰 ❗️Don’t be a victim 5️⃣ Glacier Park: I don't think it's necessary to rent winter clothes in June! It was a bit cold when I first arrived, but it was really hot when I climbed up! Especially when the clouds part and the sun comes out! Wear: Leather jacket or jacket + long sleeve + tank top 6️⃣ Preparation: 1. Buy an oxygen cylinder in advance for about 10 yuan, one bottle is enough! (Those with severe altitude sickness should exercise discretion) I saw many people carrying large bags of oxygen bottles up the mountain, but they couldn’t use up all of them, and they couldn’t take them on the high-speed train. 2. Bring an umbrella with you. The weather in Yunnan is really changeable, so you should bring an umbrella with you wherever you go. I was taking photos in Blue Moon Valley when I saw the heavy rain coming 3. Prepare some food and drinks. The higher the altitude in the scenic area, the more expensive it is. #Yulongxueshan #Yulongxueshantravel #TravelGuide

【There are 4 scenic spots in the scenic area】 1⃣ Glacier Park: Climb Jade Dragon Snow Mountain 2⃣3⃣ Yak Ping & Yunshan Ping: Both are alpine meadows, where you can see Jade Dragon Snow Mountain up close 4⃣ Blue Moon Valley: A lake formed by the meltwater of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain glacier [For elderly 👵 or children 👶, the following routes are highly recommended]

🔺Prerequisites: Since we failed to get tickets for the cable car in Glacier Park, we only bought tickets for Yunshanping (tickets must be purchased on the [Lijiang Tourism Group] mini program one week in advance, and one person can purchase multiple tickets). The time period we chose is from 10:00 to 10:30. — 🔺Transportation🚗: We chose to take a taxi from Lijiang Ancient Town to the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain Tourist Service Center (remember⚠️don’t take a taxi to the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain ticket office). — Tickets: When the Didi driver drops us off at the entrance of the scenic spot, staff will ask us to scan the mountain entrance fee (100 yuan per person for adults, half price for students, children and seniors; free for active and retired military personnel). Remember to purchase the cable car ticket for Yunshanping through the mini program! — 🔺Take the cable car🚡: After getting off the bus, go up the stairs to the Tourist Service Center and you will see the Yunshanping bus stop (you can follow the signs). Remember to check the time period you purchased. The staff will scan your ID card and you can take the bus (the bus is included in the ticket). It will take about ten minutes to reach the Yunshanping Cableway and you can queue up to take the cable car up the mountain. — 🔺To Yunshanping⛰️: After getting off the cable car, you can walk forward (there are signs) and enter the spruce forest. There are many dead trees on the left and right to take pictures. Just walk to the front and you can see the snow-capped mountains! It’s really spectacular. If you think there are too many people taking pictures at the railing, you can walk a little to the sides where there are fewer people! — 🔺Blue Moon Valley💦: Return along the original route, take the cable car back to the entrance of Yunshanping Cableway, wait for the free bus of the scenic area, and take the bus to Blue Moon Valley Shuiyue Pavilion Station (⚠️From Yunshanping to Blue Moon Valley, just take one stop to [Blue Moon Valley Shuiyue Pavilion Station], the voice will announce it 📣), otherwise you will end up at the foot of the mountain if you don’t get off the bus! Because the scenic spot has modified its site! ✅It is recommended that you go to Blue Moon Valley at noon or in the afternoon. The water is sparkling in the sun, which is super beautiful! — 🔺Back down the mountain: Wait for the free bus from the Blue Moon Valley boarding point and take it directly to the foot of the mountain (you can get off at parking lots 1 and 2🅿️, or you can get off directly at parking lot 3⚠️. From parking lot 3, you can take bus 101 back to the ancient city). — Notes⚠️: Yunshanping is 3,240 meters above sea level. Please prepare oxygen cylinders, don't walk too fast, and pay attention to sun protection ~ because the sun is still very strong! Finally, I hope my strategy can help everyone! I wish you all a happy time 🥳 #Lijiang #Yunshanping #Blue Moon Valley

Yulong Snow Mountain is the sacred mountain in the hearts of the Naxi people [You can't point to the sacred mountain with one finger] Let me talk about the lightning protection points first: 💣Lightning protection 1: When you take the scenic bus to Blue Moon Valley, remember to get off at the second stop "Shuiyue Pavilion".

#favouriteitinerary At the foot of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain lies Spruce Meadow, a natural grassland surrounded by dense spruce forests, creating a fairy-tale-like setting. It is an ideal spot for capturing stunning photos of the snow-capped mountain, and many couples choose this picturesque location for their wedding photos. Personal Opinion: In my opinion, Spruce Meadow is a magical place that perfectly complements the grandeur of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Its serene and enchanting atmosphere makes it a must-visit for photographers and nature lovers alike.

📍Location: Yunshanping 📸【Photo check-in point】 1⃣ Spruce Plank Road: A wooden plank road that passes through the original spruce forest. On both sides are towering ancient trees with "green clothes" and "beards" hanging from the trees. The sun shines through the branches and leaves, and any shot you take is a forest-style blockbuster. 2⃣ Alpine meadow: Green grass in spring and summer, golden ground in autumn and winter, surrounded by snow-capped mountains, it is an ideal place to photograph the romantic atmosphere of "Yulong Third Kingdom". 3⃣ Cultural Site of Love Martyrdom: According to Naxi legend, this is the place where Kaimei and Yulepai died for love. Stone tablets and prayer flags are dotted around, where humanity and nature blend together, making it a great place to take photos that tell a story. 4⃣ Baishui River and Blue Moon Valley: The blue-green lake formed by the meltwater from the snow-capped mountains. The lake reflects the snow-capped mountains, and the plank roads and wooden bridges make you feel like you are walking into an oil painting world. 5⃣ Snow Mountain Observation Deck: Overlooking the main peak of Yulong Snow Mountain, the snow-capped peaks and spruce forests are in the same frame in winter, which is extremely shocking. 💡【Game Tips】 ✅ Tickets and transportation: - Entrance fee to Yulong Snow Mountain Scenic Area: 130 yuan/person (mandatory) - Yunshanping Cableway: 60 yuan/person (including scenic area bus), walking up the mountain is free but takes about 1 hour. - Transportation: Take a bus from Lijiang Old Town to "Jade Dragon Snow Mountain Visitor Center" (40 minutes, 20 yuan), and then transfer to the scenic area bus. ✅ Best time: - May-October: Meadows are green, wildflowers are in bloom, and the weather is mild; - Winter: Snow accumulation is deeper, but you need to be careful to protect yourself from the cold. ✅ Outfit suggestions: - The ultraviolet rays on the plateau are strong, so sunglasses and sunscreen are necessary; - Wear a windproof jacket in spring and autumn, and a thin down jacket in summer (the temperature difference on the top of the mountain is large); - Choose non-slip hiking shoes, be careful as the plank road is slippery. ⚠【Notes】 1⃣ Altitude sickness: At an altitude of 3,240 meters, avoid strenuous exercise and prepare oxygen cylinders in advance (about 60 yuan per tank in the scenic area). 2⃣ Environmental protection and safety: It is forbidden to step on the meadow and do not litter; the plank road is slippery, so pay attention to your feet when taking pictures. 3⃣ Cultural respect: Keep quiet when encountering Naxi sacrificial activities and do not touch the prayer flags or stone tablets at will. 🍜【Food Recommendation】 1⃣ Lijiang cured pork ribs hotpot: salty and tasty, 50 yuan per person for a full meal. 2⃣ Chicken bean jelly: a local specialty snack, sour and spicy, appetizing, 5 yuan per serving at the stall at the entrance of the scenic area. 3⃣ Wild mushroom hotpot: Available only in the rainy season (June-August), the Matsutake and porcini are so fresh that they will make your eyebrows drop.

The privacy of the independent group is impeccable. My friend and I can form an independent group without any interference from others. The whole journey is very pleasant and comfortable. Without the twists and turns and noise of other groups, we can focus entirely on our own travel experience. This privacy made the entire trip more pleasant and very satisfying. 🚘 In terms of transportation, it really makes people feel very satisfied. Before departure, we were given four routes to choose from. The rest of the hotel, ticket booking and transportation arrangements were all taken care of for us. For lazy people like us, this is really convenient and well organized. This one-stop service really made us feel worry-free.

Location - Spruce Meadow Address: Inside Jade Dragon Snow Mountain Scenic Area, Lijiang City, Yunnan Province This time I visited Spruce Meadow at Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, and I was completely healed by the tranquility and beautiful scenery here. Compared to the bustling Snow Mountain Visitor Center, Spruce Meadow is truly a little world hidden in the mountains. As soon as you get off the cable car, you can see a lush green meadow surrounded by towering spruces and the faint outline of the snow-capped mountain in the distance. It looks like a postcard without any filters. 🌲 Natural Oxygen Bar The air in the mountains is exceptionally fresh, with a hint of coolness. Taking a deep breath feels like your lungs are being cleansed. Walking along the path, you are flanked by lush spruce trees, and it's so quiet that you can only hear the rustling of the leaves in the wind. This kind of tranquility is really hard to find in the city, and staying here for a while makes you feel gradually relaxed. 📸 Perfect for Photos The scenery at Spruce Meadow is incredibly photogenic! Whether it's the meadow, the snow-capped mountain backdrop, or the ubiquitous pristine forest, every shot is stunning. When there are fewer people, it feels like you have the whole valley to yourself, and the photos come out dreamy without any editing. I especially recommend going around 4 or 5 PM when the sunlight filters through the leaves, giving your photos a natural glow that is gentle and comfortable. 🚶♀️ Easy Trails The trails here are not long, taking about half an hour to complete, making it perfect for a leisurely stroll without worrying about stamina. The whole process is just walking around, taking photos, and chatting with friends, super relaxing. If you're not in a hurry, I highly recommend staying a bit longer, sitting on the meadow, and daydreaming to truly appreciate the beauty of nature. 🎟️ Practical Tips The ticket for Spruce Meadow is included in the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain Scenic Area pass. After taking the cable car up, there's a small trail leading directly to the meadow, which is easy to walk. Since the temperature on the mountain is relatively low, it's advisable to bring a jacket, or you might feel cold after staying for a while. Overall, Spruce Meadow is really a place where you don't want to leave once you arrive, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in nature. 🌿 The time spent at Spruce Meadow was truly the most relaxing moment of my trip. Once you walk through it, you'll know that this kind of serene beauty is really worth it.

The Spruce Meadow is gentle and stretches for kilometers. In spring and summer, the grass is green and the mountain flowers are romantic.

The forest on the edge of the meadow forms a natural barrier between the snow mountain and the meadow, guarding this meadow. The distant Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, towering into the clouds, exhaling fog, the giant's figure smiles down at Spruce Meadow from the air.

——Spruce Meadow and Blue Moon Valley. Spruce Meadow is like a corner forgotten by time. The tall and straight spruces sway gently in the breeze, as if whispering ancient stories. The sunlight shines through the layers of leaves, casting mottled shadows on the grass. Walking among them, the grass under your feet is soft and elastic, and every step you take is like a gentle conversation with nature. Those spruces are like loyal guards, silently guarding this quiet world. Blue Moon Valley is like a sapphire that has fallen to the earth. The lake presents an extremely clear blue color, which is mysterious and seems to contain the mystery of the universe. The lake ripples under the breeze, and the sparkling lake surface is like being embellished with countless small diamonds. Walking along the lake, the blue of the water keeps changing in front of your eyes, sometimes as deep as the night sky, and sometimes as bright as a clear day. Standing on the viewing platform, looking at the beautiful scenery of Spruce Meadow and Blue Moon Valley. On one side is the green world composed of lush spruce forests, and on the other side is the dreamy blue lake. They are like masterpieces outlined by the most magical brush of nature. I closed my eyes, took a deep breath of the air with the fragrance of vegetation and the moist breath of the lake, and let this purity and beauty deeply integrate into my soul. On this day, I wandered between Spruce Meadow and Blue Moon Valley, unwilling to leave. Every scene here is like a silent poem, and every corner hides the deep affection of nature.

#outdooractivities Walking along the spruce plank road, at the end of the primeval forests, a beautiful and extensive pasture appears to the eyes, and you suddenly felt enlightenment. This is a spruce meadow with an area of 1000 square meters. This is a natural pasture in the highlands and the second snowy mountain meadow that you will meet.Greenery is everywhere, it stretches all the way to the edge of the forest. Fir trees grow thickly on the four sides of the meadow, looking like a skirt bordered with greenery. First, take a look at the beautiful sights. Colorful and three-dimensional landscapes layer by layer demonstrate their beauty from a place close to you to a place far away. The first layer is the meadow underfoot, which is both flat and wavy. In summer, there is green grass everywhere, bright mountain flowers in full bloom. Everything turns yellow in autumn and white in winter. The color changes at any time of the year, allowing you to fully enjoy the beauty of nature. The second layer is the forest around the meadow, which formed a natural protective shield between the snowy mountain and the meadow. In your mind, it looks like a shepherd who silently, with dignity, watches the meadow.The third layer is a snowy mountain that rises in the clouds, stirring and dispersing the fog. The huge body of the mountain rises above the meadow from the sky, like a strict father and a compassionate mother who embrace the meadow. In the view of the Naxi people, the Spruce Meadow is pure land. Through this meadow, people can go to the “Third Kingdom of the Jade Dragon” — an ideal state in the legendary city of Naxi. According to the Dongba Scripture, the “Third Jade Dragon Kingdom” “had more silks and satins than you can wear, more fresh fruits than you can eat, more wine and milk than you can drink, more gold and silver than you can spend. Here, red-spotted tigers replace riding horses; white deer serve as livestock; foxes with big ears are used as hunting dogs; and golden pheasants with colorful tails herald the beginning of the day.”
