We drove about an hour from Lijiang to a chair lift station at Jade Dragon Snow Mountain that would take us up to Yak Meadow at an elevation of 3700 feet. The station sold oxygen canisters for those who might need it. Unfortunately, the weather was very misty, so we couldn't see much.
On our drive town from Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, we stopped by a glacier river to see some yaks, and then continued on to Yuhu village to see the residence of Joseph Rock, an Austrian botanist who did a lot to protect Naxi culture. The streets on this town was covered with horse patties, so you had to be very careful about where you stepped!
Next, we stopped by Yufeng Monastery to see it's Camellia Tree of 10000 Blossoms and then to Baisha village to see it's frescoes and do a little shopping.
Before it got dark, we walked around Lijiang's Old Town and then had dinner.
