Morning: Departure to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain
Kick off your adventure as your private guide greets you at your Lijiang hotel lobby, then set off on a 1-hour scenic drive to Yulong (Jade Dragon) Snow Mountain—the southernmost glacier in the Northern Hemisphere, named for its 13 snow-capped, fog-wreathed peaks that resemble a jade dragon curling in the clouds when viewed from Lijiang Old Town. As you drive, soak in the ever-changing mountain and countryside views, and listen to your guide share fascinating tales: the mountain is not only a haven for half of Yunnan’s plant species (including rare trees, flowers, and medicinal herbs) but also deeply tied to the Naxi people, who’ve called the surrounding plains home for 1,000 years and woven its ravines, creeks, and meadows into their myths and legends.
Upon arrival, board a convenient cable car that whisks you up to the 4506-meter scenic viewing point—here, you’ll be stunned by the dramatic glacier vistas and snow-capped mountain peaks stretching as far as the eye can see. For the adventurous, lace up your shoes and hike the wooden stairs to reach the 4680-meter summit, where you’ll stand amid alpine grandeur and take in unparalleled views before descending via cable car.
Lunch: Local Flavor Break
Refuel with a delicious lunch at a local mountain-side restaurant, savoring authentic Yunnan and Naxi dishes made with fresh local ingredients—think hearty stews, crisp mountain vegetables, and flavorful grain dishes that replenish your energy for the afternoon.
Afternoon: Lijiang Impression Show & Blue Moon Valley
Lijiang Impression Show
Next, immerse yourself in the iconic Lijiang Impression Show—a breathtaking daytime performance set against the backdrop of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain itself, blending nature and culture in a one-of-a-kind experience. The show features over 500 non-professional peasant actors from 16 local villages (representing more than 10 ethnic minorities) and 100 horses, who use original songs, traditional movements, and genuine emotions to showcase their unique cultures, histories, and daily customs. You can select your preferred tickets when booking to tailor this cultural experience to your needs.
Blue Moon Valley
After the show, head to the postcard-perfect Blue Moon Valley, where a crystal-clear, intensely blue river meanders through the lush, green foothills of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain (its name comes from the way the valley’s waters glow like a blue moon under sunlight). Spend your leisure time strolling along the valley paths, breathing in the fresh alpine air, and snapping photos—every corner offers a stunning shot of the turquoise waters reflecting the surrounding mountains and sky.
Tour Conclusion
When your exploration ends, your guide will transfer you back to your Lijiang hotel (booked independently), wrapping up a day filled with awe-inspiring natural beauty and authentic cultural immersion.
Important Note: Hotel accommodation is not included in this tour and must be arranged and paid for by guests independently. Round-trip transfers between your Lijiang hotel (booked independently) and tour sites are included.
