About Lijiang \u2013 Jade Dragon Snow Mountain<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Jade Dragon Snow Mountain<\/strong> (simplified Chinese: \u7389\u9f99\u96ea\u5c71; traditional Chinese: \u7389\u9f8d\u96ea\u5c71; pinyin: Y\u00f9l\u00f3ng Xu\u011bsh\u0101n) is a mountain massif or small mountain range in Yulong Naxi Autonomous County, Lijiang, in Yunnan province, China. Its highest peak is named Shanzidou (\u6247\u5b50\u9661) and is 5,596 m above sea level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chinese name, Yulong Xueshan, translates directly as Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. The mountain’s Naxi name is Mount Satseto. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Jade Dragon Snow Mountain massif forms the bulk of the larger Yulong Mountains, that stretch further north. The northwestern flank of the massif forms one side of the Tiger Leaping Gorge (Hutiao Xia, \u864e\u8df3\u5ce1), which has a popular trekking route on the other side. In this gorge, the Jinsha (upper Yangtze) River descends dramatically between Jade Dragon and Haba Snow Mountain. The Yulong Mountains lie to the south of the Yun Range and are part of Southwest China’s greater Hengduan Mountains. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Settlements surrounding Jade Dragon Snow Mountain include Baisha Town to the south, Longpan Township to the west, Daju Township to the northeast, and Jade Water Village at the foot of the mountain to the east. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The view of the massif from the gardens at the Black Dragon Pool (Heilong Tan) in Lijiang is noted as one of China’s finest views. The mountain is part of Yulong Snow Mountain National Scenic Area and National Geological Park, an AAAAA-classified scenic area. The Park operates a tourist cable car that elevates to 4,680 m for close views of the snow peak, which is criticized for accelerating the melting of the snow and reducing the water retention by the mountain.
