Can this "sacred mountain" truly make you forget all your earthly worries?

🤧 The altitude is so high, you'll be laughing even when you're short of breath! Friends, are you ready to challenge yourselves? Today, we're going to Yulong Snow Mountain! At an altitude of 5,596 meters, forget climbing, just standing at the foot of the mountain and looking up can make your neck so sore you'll question your life choices. But don't worry, even if we're short on oxygen, our sense of humor can't be! ❣️First, don't think about "flying" up there unless you're Superman. From Lijiang Old Town, you can take a taxi, bus, or chartered car. Don't count on teleportation. The journey takes about 40 minutes, during which you can admire Yunnan's blue sky and white clouds, and adjust your mindset. After all, you're about to challenge high altitudes. ❣️Once you arrive at the scenic area, don't rush to climb. Take the cable car first! The main cableway goes directly to 4,506 meters, and the smaller one goes to Yunshanping. The cable car sways a bit, but don't worry, it won't "fall." At most, it'll just make your heart race. However, if you have acrophobia, it's recommended to close your eyes and pretend you're on a carousel. ❣️Oxygen tanks: Don't be stubborn, using oxygen isn't embarrassing! At 4,506 meters, congratulations, you've successfully entered the "oxygen-deficient zone"! Don't try to be tough, oxygen tanks are your best friends. Using oxygen isn't shameful; after all, nobody wants to put on a "fainting show" on the snow mountain. Remember to buy oxygen tanks in the old town beforehand; the prices in the scenic area will make you question your life choices. Blue Moon Valley: Don't be "suffocated" by the beauty ❣️After descending the snow mountain, don't forget to visit Blue Moon Valley. The lake water is so blue it looks filtered, breathtakingly beautiful—but don't actually suffocate, remember to keep using your oxygen! Take a photo here, post it on your Moments, and guaranteed likes will explode. Remember to strike a cool pose and pretend you're a snow mountain explorer. ❣️The temperature on the snow mountain is no joke, but there's no need to dress like a "dumpling." Down jackets, hats, and gloves are essential, but don't wrap yourself up like a walking quilt. After all, we're here to travel, not to star in "Antarctic Adventure." ❣️Finally, altitude sickness isn't scary, what's scary is lacking a sense of humor. When you're short of breath, remember to keep your sense of humor. After all, the point of coming to Yulong Snow Mountain, besides seeing the scenery, is to see if you can maintain your composure at high altitude—even if you're panting like a dog. ❣️Alright, that's all for the guide. Remember, Yulong Snow Mountain isn't meant to be conquered, it's meant to be enjoyed. When you're short of breath, don't forget to smile. After all, you're already here, might as well laugh!🥳🥳
