At 4,680 metres the snow feels close enough to touch, and Blue Moon Valley below is that unreal turquoise. The day exceeded what I expected.
Jade Dragon Snow Mountain · Spruce Meadow · Blue Moon Valley
Leave before dawn for first light on the peaks, then climb to a meadow at 3,506 m
老实说
这一天到底怎么过A 05:50 pick-up to catch the mountain before the cloud builds. You top out at 4,680 m, and the day is paced around the altitude, not around the sights.
适合
- Travellers comfortable at altitude
- Anyone who wants the glacier meadow and Blue Moon Valley in one go
什么情况下别订
Heart or lung conditions, and small children — 4,680 m is not a place to find out.
Oxygen cans are sold at the base for a reason. Buying one is not weakness; skipping the slow walk at the top is how people end up sitting down.

以下时间皆为出发时间Pick-up at hotels around Lijiang old town, Shuhe and Baisha; six set meeting points if your hotel is inside the pedestrian zone

Ganhaizi and first light on the peak景点
An alpine meadow at the foot of the mountain; on clear mornings the light runs down from the main summit
Spruce Meadow, 3,506 m景点
Cable car up, then a loop boardwalk through old spruce forest facing the summit. About 90 minutes

进与出
依路线而异What’s included
- Jade Dragon Snow Mountain entry (¥100)
- Spruce Meadow cable car, return
- Park shuttle buses
- Return transport in an 8-seat vehicle
- Simple lunch, oxygen canister, parka and water
- Travel insurance
Not included
- Blue Moon Valley shuttle ¥40 and Spruce Meadow shuttle ¥20 (both optional)
- “Impression Lijiang” show ticket
- Personal expenses and gratuities
- Spruce Meadow is at 3,506 m, some 1,100 m above the old town. Slow down after the cable car, keep the oxygen handy and stop if you feel light-headed.
- Cable-car slots are allocated in fixed windows and the operator does not choose them, so the departure time moves. Do not plan anything else to a strict clock that day.
- The valley’s colour depends on the sun. Under cloud it reads grey-green, not the blue in the brochures — check the forecast if that matters.
- Parkas are one-size and shared, returned at the end of the day. Bring your own fleece if you would rather not wear communal kit. UV is extreme: sunscreen and sunglasses are not optional.
- “Impression Lijiang” is an open-air show at 3,100 m, at 11:00 and 13:30 daily. It needs a separate ticket and separate transport.
Cable cars mean no climbing, so children and grandparents manage fine — but 3,500 m is a real risk for small children and anyone with heart or lung conditions. Judge before booking.

旅客怎么说
20,670 条评价Be ready for the altitude: take the cable car, walk slowly and buy an oxygen can at the base. It is a mountain, not a theme park — worth it, but pace yourself.
The last stretch of stairs to 4,680 metres is hard work but short. Blue Moon Valley really is that blue. In peak season the queue for the shuttle down is the only sour note.
