Sarina's Travel Journal in Nov 2011: Holy Jade Dragon Snow Mountain

Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, a holy mountain full of legends is a must-see in Lijiang. The blue sky, floating fog and the pure snow contribute a picturesque fairy land. Every sight brings you a surprise and every step takes you to a new scene.

Another 10 minutes bus from the entrance to the cable car station.


We were taking the car up to the mountain.


Like a jade dragon lying in the snow, to protect the local Naxi people.(Ancient local legend)


We met a couple taking their wedding photos on this holy mountain.Long time ago, Jade dragon Snow Mountain was said to be a place where young lovers sacrifice their life to approve their true love and escaped from the arranged marriage by their parents. Now this place is favored by lovers.


Like a holy place up to heaven, so amazing. 


Had fun on the mountain. We can play the snow activities.
