Headed out of Lijiang about 30mins bus ride to the base of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Joined a horde and a half of tourists in the queue to get up the mountain. Was quite a process. Ticket, queue, bus to somewhere else, another ticket, queue, until finally on the cable car. Was worth it by then. The car took us up to about 4300m, then an exhausting walk (due to altitude and not unfitness of course) up to about 4506m. Everyone had cans of oxygen, as did we, which helped us get up. At the top was magnificent view of mountain, glacier and the area below. Something different for us - interesting considering we were in the tropical heat and humidity of Laos only on Sunday.
