Yulong (Jade Dragon) Mountain

Also known as Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, the snowcapped Yulong Mountain is a sanctuary for rare animals and plants.

Reviewed By CatherineO502 - Brisbane, Australia

We didn’t want to take a cable car up the mountain so went out from Lijiang in a taxi to the mountain - the entrance fee to the mountain park is 100Y per person. At the tourist centre the buses for Blue Moon Lake/White Water River are downstairs (the buses to the glacier cable car are on the level you enter at). The ticket for the bus to Blue Lake was 20Y - Blue Lake is the second stop on the bus. While it is a bit odd that Blue Lake is man-made the location does give spectacular views of the mountain. Getting a bus back to the tourist centre was very orderly. We had organised for our taxi driver to come back to pick us up which worked out well.

Spruce Plateau (Yunshan Ping)

Reviewed By GGVZ_

Ancient forest, grazing yaks and Yulong peaks on the background! To go there, first of all, you need to take a big blue bus at the bus stop near the Ancient City Zhongyi Market (Lijiang Old Town), ask a driver if it goes to the Jade Dragon Mountain, just in case. You'll be charged 100 RMD at the entrance, the bus will drop you off near the tourist center. Then you need to turn around and follow the signs to the Spruce Meadow Ticket office, where you'll pay 60 RMD for BOTH WAY cable cat. Then you take a local bus which goes to the Blue Moon Lake spot, there, on the right hand, you'll see Spruce Meadow Ropeway. When you are there - take your time, don't rush!

Old Town of Lijiang - China

Reviewed By GodBlessMali - Shanghai Region, China

I visited a few old towns in China, but this one has to be my favorite one to date. During my time in Lijiang, I didn't even bother going to the city because the old town was so much fun not to mention that the food was incredible. While morning are very quiet as shops open rather late, the evenings were far from boring. The bar street sure made for some nice evenings while the afternoons allowed me and my friend to visit more of Old Town while trying out different food (such as tofu ice cream (don't judge until you try it)), Chinese wraps and of course the flowers cake. As for dinner, the ribs hot pot is fantastic! I shouldn't forget to mention that the buildings are beautiful, and I strongly recommend you check the small alleys as you might be surprised by what you may see.
