One Day Exploring Jade Dragon Snow Mountain
You will meet our guide and driver at your hotel in Lijiang. After a small talk, we will set out on this 1-day private Lijiang tour to the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain.
Upon arrival, we will initially spend a few minutes at Ganhaizi (Dry Sea Meadow) viewing the boundless prairie and looking up at the magnificent Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. After that, we will take the ropeway to reach the Spruce Plateau on the hillside, which is regarded as the best place for shooting the spectacular scenery of the Snow Mountain. You will also enjoy the splendid show, the Impression Lijiang, performed on an open-air stage against the snow mountain.
After lunch, continue our Lijiang day trip to the Baisha Village to admire the famous Baisha Murals which took more than 300 years from the Ming Dynasty (1368 – 1644) to complete. Then we conclude the day with a lamasery, Yufeng Temple. Our guide will transfer you back to your hotel at the end of the day.
