Finally, the best of the best – Jade Dragon Snow Mountain - about 15 kilometers to the north of Lijiang Ancient Town. It is the highest mountain at the lowest latitude in the northern hemisphere with its major peak of 5596 meters above the sea level. Along the mountain top, it is all covered by snow all around the year and that makes it look like a jade dragon lying on the top of the mountain, therefore it was named “Jade Dragon Snow Mountain”.

I was disappointed that I didn’t manage to get to the peak but reaching the mid-level was also good enough. The mountain also boasts a large quantity of trees, medicinal herbs and various flowers.

This holiday trip was certainly worth it. I found that during this trip, it makes me more focus on nature and I am more in-tune with its pleasures. I feel like all of my senses have been awaken alive. I find that the world is so different – and beautiful – at that point of time.
