YULONG XUESHAN

Yulong Xueshan mountain (snow mountain of the jade dragon) is 5600 meters high, and stands above Lijiang valley. Cable cars were built to reach observation platforms on the mountain. Unfortunately, the mountain is often hidden in the clouds, especially in summer, and it is not so easy to see it.
