Lijiang Jade Dragon Snow Mountain National Park

As the must-visit attraction of a Lijiang tour, Jade Dragon Snow Mountain (Yulong Xueshan) is famous for its upland meadows, glaciers, canyons, waterfalls, and snowy peaks. You can take a cable car up Jade Dragon Snow Mountain for a fantastic view of the glaciated peak or skip the cable car, hike through the bushes and wade across a little stream to enjoy the exclusive views of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain that only hikers can.
Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is the holy mountain of the local Naxi people. To know more about Naxi culture and legends, do not miss the "Impression Lijiang" show held daily at the mountain's foot.
Between Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and Haba Snow Mountain lies the famous Tiger Leaping Gorge. This gorge is considered "the heaven of hiking lovers". You can see the great gorge, snow-capped mountains on both sides, and discover the best-kept secret of the Jinsha River during a hiking trip.
