Lijiang Old Town and Jade Dragon Snow Mountain Highlights
Stroll Lijiang Old Town, visit the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain Glacier Park and Blue Moon Valley, then see Black Dragon Pool and Shuhe. A core three-day introduction to Lijiang.
On day one, adjust to the altitude in the Old Town and watch the sunset from Wangu Tower. On day two, spend the full day at Jade Dragon Snow Mountain via the large cable car and at Blue Moon Valley. On day three, visit Black Dragon Pool and Shuhe in the morning before heading to the airport. The pace is moderate, ideal for first-time visitors. Nearby sights like Lashi Lake and Tiger Leaping Gorge are left out.
Snow mountain visits require advance real-name booking. The glacier cable car may be suspended on windy days.
