  • Ascend to Glacier Park: Take the large cable car directly to the Glacier Park observation deck at an altitude of 4,506 meters. You can also hike along the boardwalk to 4,680 meters to closely admire the glaciers and snow, and experience the magnificence and sanctity of the snow-capped mountains.
  • Stroll through Blue Moon Valley: Blue Moon Valley is a turquoise lake formed by snow mountain meltwater, known as "Little Jiuzhaigou." The lake water presents a charming Tiffany blue color on sunny days. Stroll along the wooden boardwalk to enjoy the scenery of the lake and mountains. You can also rent ethnic costumes for photos and enjoy dreamlike beauty.
  • Watch "Impression Lijiang": This is a large-scale outdoor live performance directed by Zhang Yimou, with the snow-capped mountains as the background. It showcases the cultural customs of the Naxi, Tibetan, and other ethnic minorities. Through wonderful singing and dancing performances, visitors can deeply feel the local humanistic charm.
  • Explore the alpine meadow: Yak Meadow is 3,800 meters above sea level and is an excellent place to view the panoramic view of the thirteen peaks of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. There are open alpine meadows here, and you can also see grazing yaks and Tibetan prayer flags. The scenery is original and rugged. Spruce Meadow is surrounded by virgin spruce forests and is an excellent location for overlooking the side of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and photographing the snow-capped mountains and forests in the same frame.
  • Encounter the Golden Sunlight on the Snow Mountain: If you depart early in the morning, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the golden sunlight on the snow mountain in Ganhaizi. Ganhaizi is a natural meadow pasture located at the foot of the snow mountain and is also a classic location for shooting panoramic reflections of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. When the sun shines on the snow mountain, the golden radiance reflects on the top of the snow peak, the scene is very spectacular.
