Purchase tickets

Purchase tickets on the "Lijiang Tourism Group" applet? Tickets for the Big Ropeway Glacier Park are released at 20:00 the day before (it’s quite popular, so prepare in advance); tickets for the Middle Ropeway Maoniuping and Small Ropeway Yunshanping are released at 21:00 the day before.

Tickets for the big ropeway are the hardest to get.

In addition to the cableway, the scenic spot also has two modes of transportation: one is the sightseeing bus (the bus in the snow mountain scenic spot is called "sightseeing bus"); the other is the sightseeing battery car (that is the common one) Sightseeing car, but it is called "battery car" in the scenic area here).

The highest point that can be reached for sightseeing is 4680 meters above sea level. After getting off the cable car, you will reach a viewing platform with an altitude of 4506 meters. Then there is a plank road to climb up to the highest point of 4680. Be careful on this section of the road as it is easy to get high.

Maoniuping

Take the cableway to get there. The cableway takes more than ten minutes. At an altitude of 3,600 meters, there is some altitude sickness, but it is weaker than Glacier Park. Here is the grassland at the foot of the snow-capped mountains. There are some yaks. It is very open and good for taking pictures.

Yunshanping

Take the small ropeway, which takes about eight minutes. At an altitude of 3240 meters, high altitude reflection is relatively weak. This scenic spot is also a large lawn under the snow-capped mountains, with a good view and good photos.

The Blue Moon Valley lake is very clear and blue, and with the background of snowy mountains, the scenery is truly stunning. Blue Moon Valley and Yunshanping are very close to each other. Generally, the two are arranged together in terms of travel arrangements.
