Reviews
the driver is very good. he very particular about the time. because in the morning, we need to take turn for the toilet 😂. Then he seems fierce but he actually concern on our time to spend for the whole trip. At the blue moon valley, we need to purchase the ticket there, he guided us to the counter explained to us on how the route and check point for electric car because he was not joining us. Then again, he remind us about the time because we need to go to cable car for Yulong Mountain by 11am. We actually got so caught up with the beautiful scenery and almost past our time. There are too many beautiful spot that for photographs but we have time constraints. Fortunately, our driver checked on us and guide us via WeChat where to go and we arrive at cable car by 11.30am. There, he guided us to the check in gate. During our time at Yulong mountain, the mist is thick and it is so cloudy that we cannot see the mountain peak. And lesson learnt here, please make sure you eat before going up.
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.
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!
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.
The tour was well-arranged by Guide Li throughout, and there was no need to worry at all. The pick-up and drop-off by car were very comfortable. Thumbs up! The scenery at Blue Moon Valley and Glacier Park was extremely beautiful. Oxygen and cold-proof suits were all prepared. It was wonderful. We took many nice photos and had a very fulfilling experience.
The one-day tour of Yulong Snow Mountain, including visits to the Sunrise Gold Mountain and Blue Moon Valley, was very convenient. The guide, Master Liu, was very patient in explaining how to enjoy the attractions. The only downside was that the queuing time was quite long. The scenery at Blue Moon Valley and Yulong Snow Mountain is stunning and definitely worth a visit.
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!
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!
We followed the itinerary with tour guide Ah-myeong! It was great that he explained everything so kindly~! The weather was wonderful too. In the morning, we visited Blue Moon Valley (Lam Wol Gok), watched Impression Lijiang, and then went to ride the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain cable car haha. It was so magnificent 👍 I recommend this tour to all my friends around the world 👏
Highly recommend booking this tour!! My friends and I managed to tick off all our must-see spots — Glacier Top, Blue Moon Valley, and the Impression Lijiang Show — all in one day! With such a packed itinerary, timing and coordination were key, and our tour guide/driver, 双双姐, managed everything seamlessly. She accompanied us at every starting point to ensure smooth entries and exits, so we never had to worry about the logistics. Huge thanks to her for making the experience so enjoyable! That said, brace yourself for Lijiang’s moody weather! Between the high altitude, swinging temperatures, and BRIGHT sunshine, it’s definitely not for the weak. Come prepared with sunscreen, sunglasses, and layers — you’ll need all three!
