Lijiang is located in
the northwestern
portion of Yunnan
and borders Sichuan. It is in
a region where the Qinghai-
Tibet Plateau and Yunnan-
Guizhou Plateau converge.
As an important transit point
along the Ancient Tea Horse
Road, Lijiang was a center
for the economic and cultural
communication between
various groups.
Jade Dragon Snow
Mountain, rising up to
5,596 meters above sea
level, is the most southerly
snow-capped mountain in
the Northern Hemisphere.
The mountain is always
covered with snow and
fog, so that it resembles
a silver-white dragon
from a distance, hence its
name. Jade Dragon Snow
Mountain is a sanctuary
for rare animals and wild
plants. These species live in
different temperature levels
and create different kinds
of views. The plants and
the animals are different
according to the altitude, so
are the views. Every sight
brings you a surprise and
every step takes you to a
new scene.
