Reviews
Had a really smooth and well-coordinated trip 👏 Highly Recommended! From the start, 小舟 managed everything efficiently—clear itinerary details and even arranged hotel pickup for a small additional fee (60元), which made things more convenient. The day before the trip, the driver/guide 携手 followed up with very clear instructions. Pickup was punctual at 5:35am. We were especially impressed that the team secured early tickets to ascend Yulong Snow Mountain by 7:30am (up to 4,506m). We descended by 8:30am—the higher climb to 4,680m was closed due to heavy snow the day before, making conditions slippery and unsafe. Next stop was Blue Moon Valley—transfer was seamless, we arrived around 9:20am, spending about an hour. After that, lunch was provided (simple pork hotpot with rice and vegetables). It was decent, though there’s definitely room for improvement. We then headed to the Impression Lijiang at 1:30pm, which wrapped up the experience nicely before returning to the hotel around 3:30pm.
A Perfect Day at Yulong Snow Mountain! I recently enjoyed a breathtaking one-day tour to Yulong Snow Mountain, and it exceeded all expectations! The itinerary was perfectly planned, allowing us to witness the magical sunrise over golden peaks (日照金山) – a truly divine moment when the first sunlight painted the snowcapped mountains in radiant hues. The customer service was outstanding. The staff were extremely attentive, providing warm jackets and oxygen bottles when needed, and giving clear instructions at every stage. Our driver was exceptionally kind, patiently waiting for us to take photos and adjusting the route to avoid crowds. From the seamless logistics to the genuine care shown by the team, this tour exemplifies professionalism and passion. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking an unforgettable natural wonder experience!
Our bus driver and guide, Mr. A Luo, provided us with the best tour! I was the only one in our group doing the Glacier Park + Blue Moon Valley + Impression Lijiang show itinerary. Mr. A Luo kindly guided me via WeChat on everything from how to find the bus stop and viewing points to the exact locations and times. Perhaps because I was a Korean traveling alone, he made sure to come to me before the start of each activity and explain, using body language, how to board the bus and where to wait! He's the best guide! Thanks to him, I was able to complete all my activities on time. ✨ Also, many reviews for other tours mentioned being forced to buy oxygen tanks at a rest stop before going to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, but this tour had absolutely none of that. It was exactly the itinerary I signed up for! However, please note that the timing of the itinerary might change depending on local weather conditions or ticket availability. But this is understandable once you experience Jade Dragon Snow Mountain firsthand, so please keep that in mind! Mr. A Luo is the best! :) Thanks to him, I was able to perfectly enjoy the summit of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain Glacier Park, Blue Moon Valley, and the Impression Lijiang show before departing. ✨
This was my second time visiting Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, and this Klook tour made it way better than my first solo trip. The driver was skilled and safe, navigating the winding mountain roads smoothly. The guide took us to a less touristy spot for lunch with amazing local Yunnan dishes—way better than the overpriced restaurants near the entrance. We had plenty of time to explore each spot, no rushed photo ops. Perfect for travelers who want a relaxed day out
A Day Trip to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain My group tour to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain took a nice turn, thanks to a flexible plan. Our Grand Cableway ride was supposed to be in the morning, but it got rescheduled to the afternoon. Our guide quickly adjusted the itinerary—we visited Blue Moon Valley first, then the cableway. The valley’s turquoise water, like liquid jade, was breathtaking; we walked the boardwalk and laughed at the icy stream. By 2 PM, we took the cableway up. The snow-dusted peaks against the blue sky made the thin air feel worth it. We snapped photos and enjoyed the quiet grandeur. Our driver waited patiently whenever we lingered, and the customer service team had confirmed the change earlier, keeping everything smooth. Tired but happy by evening, the schedule shift only made the day better. Great service and stunning views—this trip will stay with me.
Smooth and hassle-free experience from start to finish. All tickets and cable car access were pre-arranged, saving lots of time queuing. Perfect choice for first-time visitors to Lijiang.
Yulong Snow Mountain is worth it, even if you just take the cable car up without climbing to 4,680 meters—it's probably the most worthwhile place to visit in Lijiang. Be sure to use supplemental oxygen frequently while riding the cable car; it really helps. If you want to challenge yourself to climb to 4,680 meters, walking while using oxygen can greatly reduce discomfort. Don't hesitate to use oxygen—the view at 4,680 meters is truly spectacular. If you can make it, you should definitely go up at least once; you'll truly marvel at the grandeur and magnificence of nature.
This trip to Lijiang was absolutely fantastic! The itinerary was perfectly planned, and every single attraction left us wanting to return for more. First of all, I want to commend Old He, the tour guide. He provided us with detailed information on how to enjoy each attraction along the way and was particularly attentive, always keeping a close eye on everyone in the group and being quick to offer assistance when needed. As for the scenery, it was breathtakingly beautiful! Every snapshot of the Yulong Snow Mountain was stunning. The water in Blue Moon Valley was crystal clear, shimmering under the sunlight, resembling a massive sapphire. Throughout the entire trip, everyone had an amazing time, and the team atmosphere was incredibly harmonious. The daily schedule was well-organized. Overall, this trip was an unforgettable experience, and I highly recommend it to others!
Fantastic one-day tour to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain! The arrangement was well-organized with round-trip transport, no rushed schedule. The snow-capped peaks and alpine scenery were absolutely breathtaking.
Awesome day trip! Customer service was friendly, gave detailed trip info beforehand. Driver was nice, car clean, shared useful travel tips. Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is majestic, Blue Moon Valley’s water is crystal clear. Itinerary not tight, enjoyed every moment. Driver waited patiently, even helped carry bags. Highly recommend this tour

- Because the altitude of Yulong Snow Mountain is relatively high, it is not recommended for children under 3 years old and guests over 70 years old to join the group.

You will be notified of the maintenance in advance, and you may have the opportunity to change the date or package. If it is closed due to wind on the day you travel, we will actively replace it with other cableways for you, but it may be that other cableways are already fully booked on the same day, so we can only refund the cableway fee.
