China Tour 2024- Day 5: Li Jiang

It may not be the most 'fun' day but today is the most critical day of the trip. The 'hike' to Jade Dragon Mountain and visit to the Blue Moon Lagoon. Its very tiring in deed. We woke up very early and join a local tour to visit the 'Golden mountain view aka Sun rise'. The view is stunning but we are all kind of "shocked" at the weather, which is really cold despite all out clothing accessories. If we are 'that cold' at the bottom of the mountain, will it be much colder on top?



The next program is to visit the Moon Moon Lake. It is absolutely as beautiful as advertised. The problem is (1) its too cold (2) there's quite a bit of crowd (3) we don't have a lot of time to enjoy the view, just barely enough to take photos









Next is the hike to Jade Dragon Mountain. After a long que in the cable car, we managed to get on. 


Altitude of Li Jiang is 2500meter. Altitude of Jade Dragon Mountain Foot is 3000meter. At the end of the cable car, which is near top of the peak is 4506 meter. The peak (available) is 4680meter.
