There is snow all the year round on the top of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. From a distance it looks like a dragon flying among the clouds, hence its name 'Jade Dragon Snow Mountain'. It is the soul of both Lijiang City and Naxi nationality.
The main peak of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is Shanzidou which looks like a brave and mighty warrior with beautiful armor. There is frozen ice on its top and thick forest in the middle of the mountain. However at the foot of the peak, people can enjoy the tender touch of spring almost every day throughout a year. In fact Shanzidou is still a virgin peak. Nobody has ever climbed to its top because of its steepness and that's why it arouses so many people's imagination.
Jade Dagon Snow Mountain attracts millions of visitors by its admirable charm and unique landscape. If you have a chance to visit, you will be rewarded by the grace of the forest and the beauty of the surrounding area and mountains.
