Hi, Diana,
Greetings from Sophie, Top China Travel!
Thank you very much for your questions.
Jade Dragon Snow Mount is located around 15 km away from
Lijiang. When you visit to Jade Dragon Snow Mount, you will need to take cable car. You will find there are 2 cable stations. The nearest one is to The Spruce Meadow, the farther one is to The Yak Meadow and Glacier Park. Three of them are at different cable car fee. The Spruce Meadow is nearer, so it is cheaper. Glacier park is the farthest and highest one, so it is most expensive.
There are 2 ways from
Lijiang Ancient Town to Jade Dragon Snow Mount,
1)Take Bus No 7 from Red Sun Square to Jade Dragon Snow Mount Customer Service Center. Bus No 7 is a kind of minivan, but not as big as bus in other cities. The bus fare is around RMB15 per person per way. The last bus from Jade Dragon Snow Mount Customer Service Center back to Lijiang city is at around 17:30. If you would like to take it, just remember to get there earlier.
2)Take taxi or rent a minivan. The rental fee is around RMB100 per van per way. Therefore, if you have more than 4 persons, this way is more convenient. But you must remember avoid the shopping stops or any tourism spot recommended by the taxi driver or mini-van driver, just ask him to go to your destination directly.
Hope the above is clear and helpful.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact with us.
Best regards
