Tourism Introduction Yulong Snow Mountain is famous for its danger, beauty and wonder. There are mainly scenic spots such as Yunshan Ping, Baishui River, Ganhaizi and Bingtalin. It is a multifunctional tourist attraction integrating sightseeing, mountaineering, exploration, scientific research, vacation and outing.

Ganhaizi: Ganhaizi is an open meadow in the east of Yulong Snow Mountain. It is about 4 kilometers long, 1.5 kilometers wide and 2,9 meters above sea level. Coming to Ganhaizi gives people an open and empty feeling. In front of the towering east slope of Yulong Snow Mountain, there is such a big meadow, which provides visitors with a good place to watch Yulong Snow Mountain. Here, you can see the peaks such as Yulong Snow Mountain and steep fans vividly. From the dry Haizi meadow to the snow line of 45 meters, you can see all kinds of flowers and trees, such as orchids, wild peonies and Saussurea involucrata. Tall trees include Yunnan pine, cedar, fir, chestnut thorn, chestnut and so on. Ganhaizi Meadow is a natural pasture. Every year, flowers bloom in spring, and herbs germinate. Tibetan, Yi and Naxi herdsmen who live in the mountain stream near Ganhaizi have to wear felt tents, ride tall horses and drive yaks, sheep and cattle to pasture in the meadow.

Baishui River: From Ganhaizi to Yunshanping, there is a deep valley with dense forests and a long stream. At the bottom of the valley, this river with long springs is called Baishui River. Because the riverbed and platform are composed of white marble and carboniferous stone fragments, they are gray; The clear spring flows over the stone and is also white, hence the name "Baishui River". The water of Baishui River comes from the melting water of the glacier snowfield at a height of four or five kilometers. It is cold and clean, and has never been polluted. It is a natural iced drink.

yunshanping: also known as "land of love and death", with an altitude of 3,24 meters, is a holy place in the hearts of Naxi people. Legend has it that it can lead to the "Yulong Third Country" from here. According to the Dongba Classic, in the "Jade Dragon Third Country", "there are endless silks and satins, inexhaustible fresh fruits and treasures, inexhaustible wine and sweet milk, inexhaustible Jinsha syndicate, red-spotted tiger as a rider, silver-horned deer as a plow, wide-eared fox as a hound and golden pheasant as a herald of dawn". Take the cable car built in Baishuihe Mountain Villa, and it only takes ten minutes to take you to the cable car station. Then, you can go along the boardwalk set up in the forest, or ride the Lijiang pony rented by the local Yi girls, and you can reach Yunshanping, another scenic spot of Yulong Snow Mountain. Yunshanping is a forest grassland in the east of Yulong Snow Mountain, with an altitude of about 3 meters and an area of about .5 square kilometers. Snow-capped mountains are like jade screens, towering into the clouds; Yunshanping is surrounded by Daicheng and lush. In the dense forest around Yunshan Ping, there are towering trees, dead branches hanging upside down, tree beards on the branches, rotten wood everywhere in the forest, dead branches and leaves, covered with moss, as if no one had disturbed them for thousands of years, just like a natural paradise. Legend has it that if young men and women double-cross at Yunshan Ping at the foot of Yulong Snow Mountain, their souls will enter the third country of Yulong and get eternal happiness.

Bingtalin: Yulong Snow Mountain is home to the modern marine warm glacier and Xue Hai, which are closest to the equator in Eurasia. There are 19 modern glaciers with a total area of 11.61 square kilometers, among which Baishui No.1 modern glacier is the most scenic glacier at present.

The modern glacier "Baishui No.1" is 2.7 kilometers long and is located directly below the steep fan of the main peak of Yulong Snow Mountain. Looking from the foot of the mountain, it is shocking to see the same waterfall hanging in the sky. Part of the ice pagoda forest in glacier tongue, like handfuls of knives and halberds stabbing into the sky, is not white but green, with green snow and Wan Ren, as if pieces of huge jade and jasper are embedded among the rugged rocks. This scene is the "Green Snow Peak" described by the late former vice president of the National Palace Museum in Taiwan, Mr. Li Lincan. Near the glacier, only the sound of running water was heard, which was formed after the glacier melted. The fan in front made a sudden loud noise, which was the noise made during an avalanche, just like rolling a snow cow. For thousands of years, fans have been constantly supplying new snow to glaciers. The unpredictable snow-capped mountains are full of snowflakes from time to time, which makes people struggling; From time to time, it is a little chilly; From time to time, it shines like a lifetime ago, and I can't help feeling deeply.
