Glacier Park, Jade Dragon Snow Mountain
玉龙雪山冰川公园
Take the main cable car up to the Glacier Park at about 4,500 meters, then climb the boardwalk to a 4,680-meter viewing platform for a close look at the glaciers of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain.
The Glacier Park is the core area of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Take the scenic area's eco-shuttle from Ganhaizi to the lower station of the main cable car (about 3,356 meters), ride the cable car to the upper station at about 4,506 meters, and then walk along a wooden boardwalk to a 4,680-meter viewing platform. From there you can see the glaciers below the Fan-Shaped Cliff and the snowy peaks up close. Main cable car tickets must be booked in advance through the official platform with real-name registration. They sell out quickly in peak season, so buy them well ahead. The mountain is cold and the air is thin, so bring a down jacket and oxygen, move slowly, and people with high blood pressure or heart disease should be cautious. The cable car may be suspended in high winds or bad weather, so follow the official notices.
