玉龙雪山
Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is a sacred Naxi peak with a glacier park cable car, offering dramatic alpine views and cultural significance. Visit in spring or autumn for clear skies and fewer crowds.
Book the Glacier Park cable car 3-5 days ahead via your hotel or WeChat; arrive by 7:30 AM to beat tour groups. If you're sensitive to altitude, take the Spruce Meadow cable car instead—less crowded and still stunning. Bring sunglasses and ginger candy; the glare and altitude are no joke.
8:00 AM - 5:00 PM (last cable car down at 4:00 PM)
Entrance CNY 100 (about $14) + eco-bus CNY 20 (about $3) + Glacier Park cable car CNY 120 (about $17); total CNY 240 (about $34). Lower cable cars: CNY 60-65 (about $8-9).
6-8 hours (including travel from Lijiang)
