麗江プライベートデイツアー：玉龍雪山と印象麗江ショー

We were picked up and dropped off at the hotel, so the tour was really catered to our convenience. We started early to catch the sunrise and were duly rewarded for our early sacrifice when we caught the golden peak of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain known as Yulong Xue Shan by the locals. We proceeded to the Blue Moon Lake for picturesque shots of shimmering blue waters under the morning sun. Then it was time to ascend the mountain, all prepared with the puffer jackets, oxygen cans and three bottles of altitude medication (the first is provided by the company and we bought the latter two). We ended the trip with Impressions of Lijiang, a one hour performance made against the backdrop of the mountain, directed by Zhang Yimou who choreographed the Beijing Olympics ceremonies, that depicts the stories of the various ethnic minorities that make Yunnan such a unique place to be in.

We did not go with this organization but our own travel agency. Separate rules apply to foreigners, such as online reservations and passports. During the school holidays it is super busy here. We went out very early. Along the way I bought a drink and canisters of oxygen. From the central ticket office it goes by shuttle bus from 2800 to 3300 meters, and then into the cable car. After visiting the platform at 4500 m altitude, you can continue on the shuttle bus, to the blue. You can walk a long way along them via stairs and jetties, up to the bridge and waterfall. Many couples have their photos taken here. Then back to the starting place, where there is a beautiful show in a large theater with a rock face around the stage with ascending paths, where the actors walk on, even on horseback. The show lasts 45 minutes and the amateur actors appear in costumes of a dozen minorities from the neighborhood. You can watch for free, paid, or as a VIP in the very best places.
