Yulong (Jade Dragon) Mountain - Today, you may visit the Snow Mountain with the cale car to Spruce Meado first or visit White Water River first, But it really depends of the Impression Lijiang Show, because the show time will depend on daily number of visitors from 11:00am–15:00pm and the show lasts for 60 minutes.
The Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is very easy to visit via a system of cable cars which take visitors to different parts of the mountain. The 13 peaks, home to several glaciers, are covered in snow all year round. Different altitudes give rise to changing landscapes with peaceful meadows giving way to snow-covered paths and glaciers. We choose to Spruce Meado with the cable car due to with the lower altitude(3300M) and less people than the way to Glacier Park and also with the nice view.

Lijiang Impressions Show - Next, go to Lijiang Impression show. The show is outdoor performance at pre-determined times. With the holy Jade Dragon Snow Mountain as the backdrop, more than 500 local villagers put on a splendid singing and dancing show on an open-air stage, occupying an altitude of 3,100 meters (10,200 feet), demonstrating distinctive customs and culture of Naxi minority in front of the audience.

Blue Moon Valley - Afterwards, take the private car to White Water River(Blue Moon Valley). The Blue Moon Valley actually is an extremely blue river meandering through a lush valley of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Seen from a distance, it resembles a blue crescent moon inlaid at the foot of the mountain. That’s how the place got its beautiful name! However, blue is not the only colour of the river. If it rains, the white mud and limestone rubble at the riverbed will be swirled up, making the water as white as milk. Therefore, local Naxi people name it White Water River (Baishui River).

Lijiang Mural in Baisha Village - After a hearty lunch, continue your private Lijiang tour to Baisha Village, which used to be the earliest residential area for Nanxi people. It is famed for delicate Baisha Murals in temples, portraying religious figures of Buddhism, Taoism and Lamaism. A special family visit will be arranged for you to step into Naxi people’s life.
