Lijiang Private Tour: Jade Dragon Snow Mountain & Baisha Villages

In the morning, your personal guide and driver will await you in the lobby of your Lijiang hotel, prepared to launch an unforgettable journey. When exploring Yulong Snow Mountain, three exceptional options are available, each reachable via a round-trip cable car. You can opt for Glacier Park, Maoniuping, or Yunshanping.

Option 1: Glacier Park
Glide above the clouds on a cable car ride to Glacier Park, the top choice for visitors. As you ascend, admire the stunning panoramic vistas of snow-capped summits, ancient glaciers, and verdant forests. At an altitude of approximately 4,506–4,680 meters, Glacier Park offers an up-close view of magnificent modern maritime glaciers. Stroll along specially constructed viewing platforms, feel the crisp mountain air on your face, and immerse yourself in the awe-inspiring beauty of this natural wonder. The route involves taking the cable car from the lower station at the mountain’s foot directly to Glacier Park—a thrilling ride.

Option 2: Maoniuping
For those seeking a more pastoral and less crowded experience, Maoniuping is ideal. Reachable by cable car, this vast alpine meadow sits at around 3,700 meters above sea level. Here, you can watch yaks grazing leisurely on the grass, surrounded by the towering peaks of Yulong Snow Mountain. The scenery blends the grandeur of the mountains with the tranquility of the grassland.

Option 3: Yunshanping
Known as the "Oriental First Love Garden," Yunshanping is a romantic and idyllic destination. The cable car takes you to this enchanting spot at approximately 3,240 meters altitude. Surrounded by primeval spruce forests and facing the snow-capped Yulong Snow Mountain, Yunshanping presents a serene, picture-perfect landscape. The flat meadow in the center is like a green carpet, offering a perfect place to relax and embrace nature. The cable car route to Yunshanping departs from its dedicated station.

After choosing and visiting your preferred Yulong Snow Mountain destination, proceed to Baisha Village, the ancient Naxi capital. There, you’ll enjoy a delicious lunch at a local eatery, savoring traditional Naxi cuisine and regional specialties.
Post-lunch, wander through narrow streets lined with traditional Naxi houses, explore local markets brimming with colorful handicrafts and tasty snacks, and learn about the rich history and culture of the Naxi people from your knowledgeable guide. Immerse yourself in local life and experience the warmth and hospitality of the Naxi community.
Following the tour, your guide and driver will transport you back to your Lijiang hotel.
