Jade Dragon Snow Mountain Hiking

· Location: Lijiang
· Difficulty: moderate
· Duration: 1 day
· Best times to hike: November to April
Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is the most southerly always-snowcapped mountain in China, and it is well-situated within a short road journey from the popular Lijiang Ancient Town in Yunnan Province.
It is more rewarding to explore the holy mountain of local Naxi people's hearts by hiking, skipping the cable car and avoiding the tourist crowds.
Starting from Yuhu Village, where famous explorer Joseph Rock lived for 27 years, you can hike through the bushes, wade across a little stream, lie down on an alpine meadow, and enjoy exclusive views of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain that only hikers can.
The average hiking distance is about 12.5 km (7.7 miles) at an altitude of around 2,700–3,300 m (8,800–10,800 ft) above sea level.
