 Jade Dragon Snow MountainJade
Dragon Snow Mountain is situated north of LiJiang Old Town. The
highest point in the mountain reaches a height of 5596 meters. This
prominent wonder is made up of thirteen peaks and the highest one is
named as "Fan Peak". This "Fan peak" is still a virigin peak and has
yet to be conquered by mountaineering enthusiasts. Above the height of
4500 meters, you can find 19 marine glaciers extending to a width of
30 meters and approximately 100 meters in length. There are cable cars
available in this resort that will bring you to a height of 4506
meters above sea level. You can also enjoy skiing on the northeast
range of the Fan Peak. This is the one and only skiing place located
in the South of China. Through out the
 year, snow will fall on the
peaks and frequently clouds or fog encircles them. Looking from a far
distance, the mountain resembles a Jade Dragon. Hence the name "Jade
Dragon Snow Mountain" was originated. |
