Yulong

Yunshanping is a huge lawn hidden in the original spruce forest, with an altitude of 3240 meters. It is called "Youwu Pavilion" in the Naxi language, which is the "place of death of love", and is also known as Jinxiu Valley. It is located in Shanqingli at the eastern foot of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, on the lower right side of the main peak of the snow mountain, and has Yunshanping Cableway and other attractions. Legend has it that Yunshanping is the place where the first couple of the Naxi people died in love. According to legend, the founders of love affairs among the Naxi people were Kaimei and Yulepai. Their love life was like a bee flower, but their feudal marriage was ruined by polygamy. They yearned for a free love life, so they both went to the spruce tree. Pingqing died. So during the Torch Festival in June, young men and women living in villages near Yulong Mountain made paper figures symbolizing Kaimei and Yulepai and came to Yunshanping to pay homage to the first couple who fell in love. Driving 25 kilometers north along the Snow Mountain Park, you will enter an open alpine meadow, which is Ganhaizi. Ganhaizi is a natural meadow pasture with gently undulating terrain and low pine trees scattered on the vast meadow. In the long pasture, under the cover of vegetation, yaks appear or disappear, presenting a "plateau pasture scenery".

This is the main attraction in Yulong County. You can see the majestic snow-capped peaks of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain from various viewpoints. The mountain range is renowned for its stunning landscapes, alpine meadows, and glaciers. It is sacred to the Naxi people, so reaching the summit is forbidden out of respect the Naxi religious taboo on summiting it.
