Itinerary
The Yulong Snow Mountain is noted as the southernmost snow mountain in Northern Hemisphere. As a must-see attraction in Lijiang City, it is made up of 13 peaks with the highest one, Shanzidou, rising 5596 meters above sea level.
Glacier Park is located on the Shanzidou Peak. There are totally 19 oceanic glaciers on the peak, including hanging glaciers and cirque glaciers. The cableway to the glacier park is the one of the highest elevation in Asia with a length of 2914 meters and a vertical drop of 1150 meters. After walking out of the cableway, tourists can walk to the highest viewing platform of the mountain at 4580 meter above sea level.
Blue Moon Valley, which has the shape of crescent moon and when it is sunny the water looks blue. Seen from a distance, the valley is like a blue moon at the bottom of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain.
Take a shuttle to the Yunshanping Cableway to visit the Spruce Meadows. Spruce Meadow is a huge lawn hidden in the original spruce forest, with an elevation of 3,240 meters. Watch the beautiful scenery. The colors of the lawn change in four seasons and the forest on the edge of the meadow form a natural barrier with the snow-capped Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Enjoy folk dances around the Spruce Meadow, you will see some girls dressed in bright ethnic clothing, they dance on the meadows and in the forests. Those wear sheepskin capes are Naxi girls, while the ones wear hats made of colored threads are Dai girls. Near the Spruce Meadow, you will find the Baishui River which is the upper reach of the famous Yangtze River in China. The bed of Baishui River presents a color of grey white as it is composed of sedimentary crushed limestone, when the thawing water flows through it. The river seems white and thus the name Baishui River (literally White Water River).
Watch the Impression Lijiang Performance at Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Impression Lijiang is an 1 hour magnificent singing and dancing performance demonstrating the traditions and lifestyle of the local ethnic people by famous Chinese director Zhang Yimou. The show is staged outdoors at 3,100 meters above sea level with Jade Dragon Snow Mountain as the breathtaking backdrop.

amazing package!! we bought option 8 which included everything we needed for our visit to jade dragon snow mountain. the team was super active and checked in on us frequently throughout the day, sending us timely reminders of our itinerary which included the admission ticket, all cable cars and shuttle busses, glacier peak, blue moon valley, lijiang impression show, spruce meadow, and both way scenic trains. this really helped us to manage our time well. the team also informed us of which tickets to use and which gates to go to (with pictures included), which made the whole trip extremely seamless for us. coming from someone who typically does free and easy, i would highly highly recommend getting this package as it really includes everything u need for an affordable price, leaving u with nothing to worry about (becus planning for timings of the cableways and shows while having to camp for tickets was way too complicated for us). additionally, the hotel pick up and drop off service was exceptional as the driver was very punctual. this package also included one bottle of oxygen per person which we felt was more than sufficient, along with winter gear rental which helped to keep us warm and kept us dry from the rain and clouds (it is super waterproof). overall, you should defo buy this package!!
Absolutely pleasant experience with Aether Tours. The team added us to a group chat with so many of their team members! They had the entire itinerary listed clearly, with all of our ticket QR codes so we didn’t have to worry at all. They even had the driver in the chat and made sure the driver picked us up on time. They checked in time to time to make sure we were doing well with the itinerary, very good service! No regrets booking with them, and even made another booking for a day trip the next day because we had such good faith and trust in them that it will be a great day out again. Highly recommend!
We had an amazing time! The tour operator had clear communication and was so helpful. Before the tour they messaged all the information clearly, and throughout the day they checked in with us to ensure we weren’t having any problems navigating! We even received a PDF of instructions on where to go when with photos. Navigating through the area not speaking any Chinese was so easy with the instructions we were given. The show was great fun! Unfortunately we had rainy cold weather so the views at the glacier weren’t great, but it was still a really fun experience I would highly recommend. Great value for money including transport and all tickets for the day out.
I booked a private tour from Aether Tours and it was a pleasant experience. They acquired the tickets for me, assigned the driver to pick me up and drop me off from the hotel, and basically guided me as I went from one place to the next. This private tour is not the usual tour wherein you would be assigned a tour guide however, but it was done in a way that it allows you to pace yourself, with them gently reminding you of your next activity so you won't be able to miss them. They are very helpful from start to finish and I'm glad to have booked it with them. I do have one suggestion: I completely understand that the weather is not something they can control (no one can control them!) but I do wish they would let the travelers know what sort of visibility we are expecting to see when we get to the mountain, the background of impression Lijiang, anything about the visibility of the mountain. :) I know this is a tough request but some tourists (like me) are keen on seeing high visibility (again, not Aether's fault! no one's fault! And I completely understand that Yunnan's weather is unpredictable) of the mountain. Nonetheless, I have no regrets booking with Aether. I am actually checking their other travel packages right now :)
