Yunshanping Meadow

On its eastern slope the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain Cableway, the Yunshanping Cable car and a ski site have been built.  

The cable car system starts at a spot 3,356 meters above sea level in a primeval forest, and ends at a terrace on the snow mountain 4,506 meters above sea level. The total length is 2,968 meters, with a vertical difference of 1,150 meters. Now it is the cable car with the highest altitude of its kind in the world.

The technology and equipment were imported from the Leinter Company of Italy. Taking the cableway, one can see seven vertical plant belts along the way. At the top end, tourists can enjoy snow scene all year round, and can also have a closer look at modern glaciers formed 40,000 years ago.

Highly recommend you to leave the town of Dayan earlier in the morning, to take the cable car. Usually it is very crowded from 9h00 in the morning. So leave the town at 7h00, and drive one hour to the Yunshanping Meadow.

When you arrive the summit, follow the trekking trail and walk around the forest.
