Jiaozi Snow Mountain soars over 4,200 metres above sea level, making it one of the tallest peaks in Yunnan.

From the majestic glaciers and snow-capped peaks to the crystal-clear alpine lakes and cascading waterfalls, this mountain range is a photographer’s dream come true.

The stunning mountain lakes of Jiaozi Snow Mountain not only enhance the picturesque landscape but also provide spaces for reflection and tranquility.

The springtime thaw starts in earnest around March, and at this time the slopes of the mountain burst into colour as the meadows and forests bloom with spectacular, multi-colored flowers. This is followed by the rainy season, so pack a waterproof jacket and be prepared for periods of thick and ghostly fog. From August to October is the dry season, a time of endlessly temperate, cloud-free days and nights punctuated by gorgeous star-lit skies.
