Reviews
The driver was very kind and helpful. She gave great descriptions of where to go, despite the language barrier for myself and others in the group. Communication was clear via wechat which meant we were on time to see all attractions on the itinerary. She provided warm jackets so we were comfortable exploring in the mountains. Really enjoyed this tour and would recommend for anyone who wants to see Yulong Mountain!
Driver was very helpful and gave very clear instructions both verbal and written on how and where to go to view the scenic spots. She was also very clear in her instructions on how to meet up after visiting the scenic spots.
It was very satisfying! We were really satisfied with the journey. The driver was very kind and guided us very well! She is veryyy kind and patient. Jdsm and blue moon valley are beautiful! Good deals!
The tour today was very enjoyable. The travel agency did a great job organizing everything. Master Liu, who accompanied our group, although he didn't speak the language, was incredibly patient throughout the trip, translating for us on how to enjoy the activities. Yulong Snow Mountain is absolutely beautiful and definitely worth recommending.
Hassle-free and super convenient! The driver picked us up in front of the hotel around 6 AM, then we waited at Ganhaizi to catch the sunrise, many restaurants there. After that we continued to all the spots according to the itinerary. They even provided one free can of oxygen. We were really lucky to get such great views and perfect weather. use my promo code MELISAKLOOK for 8% discount
Blue Moon Valley and Jade Dragon Snow Mountain are beautiful, and our guide was excellent and took great care of the group. Overall, it was a nice experience with very beautiful scenery of the snow mountain and Blue Moon Valley. It was just a bit rushed, as we sometimes had to wait in line for the cable car.
Overall, it was acceptable. The driver couldn't speak English at all but tried their best to be helpful. Unfortunately, on the day we went, we couldn't go up to the mountain peak. In the end, we each received a 120 RMB refund for the ticket.
Our driver-guide was very friendly, patient, and helpful throughout the trip. He gave us many useful tips on how to survive the cold and altitude at Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, which really made the experience much smoother and more enjoyable. We also really enjoyed ourselves during this trip thanks to his care and guidance. Highly recommended!
What a majestic experience! Just wow, from the blue moon valley to the Impression Lijiang and of course the Jade Dragon snow mountain! Everything was well organised, and Chen Chong Mei, our driver and guide, was really nice and excellent and communicated everything very clearly, props to her!
It was an amazing experience to visit the snow-capped mountains in China. We were captivated by the beauty of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Additionally, we were assisted by our guide, Mr. He Xianame. Although there was a language barrier, I immediately understood what Mr. He explained through a chat translation. Mr. He guided me very well and was very funny. Thank you, Mr. He, go, go, go! 😁
