Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is a very beautiful and mysterious place, it is said to be the incarnation of the Naxi people's guardian god Sanduo
In the Naxi language, Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is called 'Oulu', which means 'Tianshan'. Its thirteen snow peaks are continuous, like a 'giant dragon' soaring and dancing, hence the name 'Jade Dragon'. Also, because its rock type is mainly limestone and basalt, black and white are distinct, so it is also called 'Black and White Snow Mountain'. It is the sacred mountain of the Naxi people, and it is said to be the incarnation of the Naxi people's guardian god 'Sanduo'.

Amazing Lijiang - Ganheba Valley
Getting There - The trail starts from Yuhu village, which is easily accessible by public transport from Lijiang city and ends at Gan Haizi in Yulong Snow Mountain National Park.
It is one of the easiest hikes in Lijiang, Yunnan with one the best views in this area. It is truly a gem.
After the heavy snow the previous day, Jade Dragon Snow Mountain was at its finest with a heavy coat of freshly fallen snow. I was literally in paradise.

Lijiang's super niche attractions, very few people know about this place~
After the rainy season, a new niche secret spot will appear on the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, with blue-green lakes and white milk rivers. However, we felt like we had a bit of a car wreck this time, it's completely different from the dry riverbed we saw online, the water is already gone. But, surrounded by forests and grasslands, the white mud land is unrealistically beautiful🥹 and under the backdrop of the blue sky, white clouds, and the distant Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, even without a filter, one glance and you're captivated!

In the future, besides the Glacier Park, Spruce Meadow, Yak Meadow, and Blue Moon Valley, there's a new place to go!
The recommended time is from August to November during the rainy season when there's lake water, but it also depends on luck, locals have come twice and it's been dry and all white, but still beautiful.
The white is actually not sand but a gypsum-like calcification, similar to a marsh, and many people will sink into it
Be especially careful in the watery areas where you can sink in, always pay attention to safety
There are many trees growing in the water on the shore, looking like a fairyland
There's also the white milk river flowing right before your eyes

My heart is in Yunnan
It's been almost half a year since I came back, but I still miss the days in Yunnan
I want to eat cured ribs, grilled milk fan, and rice silk
I was breathless by the beauty of the Sunlight Golden Mountain and conquered by the charm of nature
All the lovely people and things I met on the journey
I like everything there, I love Yunnan, I will go again next time

There is a place in Lijiang Blue Secret that only we know about
Lijiang in summer is also a good place to escape the heat. The temperature is cool and you even need to wear long sleeves in the morning and evening. Apart from Blue Moon Valley in Yulong Snow Mountain, there is a no-man's land. The white wasteland is paired with the deep blue lake, hidden in the forest at the foot of the snow mountain. It takes about half an hour to walk easily. There were not many tourists when we went. You can see the blue lake in this season. 📍> Self-driving navigation to Ganhaizi parking lot, you need to buy a ticket to enter Yulong Snow Mountain Scenic Area, which is about five minutes drive from the parking lot, that is, the location of figure 9⃣️, there is a dirt road on the left hand side of the highway, start hiking from here, about 30min you can see the lake, walk towards the snow mountain all the way, the scenery is beautiful, very relaxed. 🏷> Tips｜🔸Hope the friends who come here will not leave any garbage, we should love it while we appreciate the beautiful scenery.
