Step into Lijiang bazi, leave Dayan ancient city, and continue northward to Baisha, where Yulong Snow Mountain stands in front of you. The peaks covered with snow all year round are arranged into thirteen peaks from north to south. Against the blue sky, they are like jade dragons soaring in the sky.
When you go deep into it along this tourist route, the Snow Mountain will show you infinite scenery such as exotic flowers and herbs, Xue Hai, glaciers, meadows and streams, as well as beautiful myths and legends, which will make you linger all the way.
"There is no horse in the north of the county, and there is the first peak in Yunnan in the south. At four o'clock, it will last forever. The top of the milky way turns, and the sun and the moon pass at the top of the danger. The cold is thousands of miles, and the jade stands in the snow-capped mountains. "
This five-and-eight-sentence poem is called Snow Mountain, written by Mu Gong, the eighth chieftain of Lijiang in Ming Dynasty (A.D. 1494- 1553). This poem is very heroic.
