The next day, Sun Aoran and Zhao Shuang did not go to work. When they learned that Yang Jing and Gege were traveling in Lijiang, they took three days off. It happened that it was raining heavily on their construction site and there was no way to construct, so they were liberated.

Accompanied by Sun Aoran and Zhao Shuang, to be precise, with Zhao Shuang, early the next morning, the group of four began to march like the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain in the misty light rain.

If you come to Lijiang and don’t go to see the Yulong Snow Mountain, it’s like you don’t go to Badaling and the Forbidden City when you arrive in Yanjing.

Sun Aoran has been on this construction site here for more than half a year, but he has never been to Yulong Snow Mountain once. One is that he has no time to come out to play at all, and the other is that the construction site where he is located is at the southern end of Yongsheng, which is closer to Dali than to Lijiang.

However, Zhao Shuang is native to Lijiang. She was born and raised here and is very familiar with the Yulong Snow Mountain and the scenic spots around Lijiang. So this time she went to Yulong Snow Mountain, Zhao Shuang became a tour guide.

At Zhao Shuang's suggestion, several people did not follow the group, but drove directly to the Yulong Snow Mountain Scenic Area.

"Driving is the fastest. You can directly reach the parking lot below the snow-capped mountains. You can walk up another five kilometers to reach the cable car, and then we will take the cable car directly up the mountain." Zhao Shuang talked about today's arrangements while driving.

Princess looked at the snowy mountains in the northwest through the car window and said with great anticipation: "Everyone says that the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is so beautiful. To be honest, I didn't take it seriously before. Now I have seen it with my own eyes and I really know that it is indeed worthy of its reputation."

Zhao Shuang smiled and said, "Of course, the beauty of the scenery here is really hard to describe in words. I have grown up here since I was a child. Even if I have been here countless times, every time I see this beautiful snow-capped mountain, I can't help but be excited and try every means to find some beautiful words to describe her. However, I can't do it, really can't do it. She is really too beautiful."

Zhao Shuang suddenly slaps, avoiding a tourist minibus that was almost rushing around, and smiles bitterly helplessly.

Sun Aoran, who was sitting in the passenger seat, cursed angrily: "Damn bastard, how did you drive? Are you rushing home to attend the funeral?"

Zhao Shuang shook her head and comforted her boyfriend, "Oran, don't say that, the drivers here are like this. There is no way, just pay more attention. You are angry with them, it's useless."

Princess frowned and said, "Why are there so many cars here? Are they all here for travel?"

Zhao Shuang smiled, "Sister Gege, there are quite a few cars today. If there is a good weather, there will be traffic jams on this road, and sometimes it will take several hours. I also saw that the weather is not good today, so I decided to drive. If the weather is good, we have to walk up. Because in that good weather, walking is faster than driving."

Yang Jing shook his head speechlessly. The traffic jam in the big capital was already serious enough, but according to Zhao Shuang, the traffic jam here is even more powerful than that in the big capital. "There are so many tourists here? Can the scenic spots afford it?"

Zhao Shuang shook her head, "The scenic spot has been running overload for a long time, especially in the past ten years, with the popularity of self-driving tours and domestic tourism, Yulong Snow Mountain and even the entire Lijiang City have been overwhelmed."

After a pause, Zhao Shuang continued: "Yulong Snow Mountain is the glacier closest to the equator in the northern hemisphere. In addition, it is famous, so a large number of tourists come here to watch the glaciers every year. The Yulong Snow Mountain Scenic Area Reserve is 260 square kilometers, but with the completion of three cableways, especially the large cableway can directly reach the core area of ​​the protected area with an altitude of 4,508 meters, which has led to overdevelopment. In addition, the global climate has warmed, and now the glaciers in Yulong Snow Mountain have disappeared a lot. After entering the new century, the Yanggongjiang No. 5 glacier has undergone two large-scale collapses. The largest Baishui No. 1 glacier has also shrunk in the area and thickness. If this continues, Yulong Snow Mountain will be really dangerous."

Shaking his head, Zhao Shuang sighed helplessly, "But there is no way. Tourism is an important economic pillar of Lijiang. Now everything is in line with GDP, and the result is..."

As a local, Zhao Shuang watched Jade Dragon Snow Mountain get worse every day, so she naturally feels uncomfortable.

Princess asked, "Don't the country find a way to control it?"

Zhao Shuang smiled bitterly and said, "How to control it? These tourists are all money, they all represent GDP! Who controls it? Who can control it again? Look at the four of us, aren't they one of them?"

As several people were talking, the car soon drove to the Ganhaizi Scenic Area, which was more than 3,100 meters above sea level. After parked the car in the parking lot, Yang Jing asked with a smile: "There is a golf course here? It's so high, who can come up to play with the ball?"

Zhao Shuang said: "This golf course is not simple. It was designed by a famous foreigner. I forgot what it was. It was built and opened in 2001. This golf course is the only snow-capped course in the northern hemisphere and one of the highest altitude golf courses in the world. When you come here to play in summer, there are green grasslands on one side, and the snow on the west side, the scenery is beautiful. Many people like to come here to play in summer. The business here is very good."

Sun Aoran said: "The cost here is not cheap either, right?"

Zhao Shuang said, "It seems to be OK. I remember my dad said that the cost of 18 holes is about 900, and by the weekend, it is about 1,000 yuan. In addition, other expenses such as caddy fees, shoe rental fees, pole rental fees, umbrella rental fees, and ball cart fees, it will cost 2,000 yuan to go up after one 18 hole."

The princess poked Yang Jing, "What, you're tempted? If you're tempted, buy this place. Then we'll come here every summer to play basketball."

Yang Jing shook his head with a smile, "I'm not very interested in this kind of sport now. When I like this sport one day, I will buy it here. We come here to play basketball every summer."

Zhao Shuang didn't know Yang Jing's wealth and asked Sun Aoran in a low voice: "Aoran, you are very rich?"

Sun Aoran was not very clear about Yang Jing's wealth, but Sun Aoran knew that Yang Jing was indeed rich in antiques these days, but if she wanted to buy such a golf club, she might be far from it. So he shook his head and said, "Maybe it's a joke."

The princess heard the couple's words, but she didn't explain, just laughed.

With Yang Jing’s current net worth, buying this golf club is just a small task.

When I opened the trunk, several people carried their backpacks. The backpacks were some things I prepared last night, such as small oxygen cylinders, some high-calorie food and drinking water.

Although it is to go up the big cableway, the upper station of the big cableway is as high as 4,508 meters above sea level. When you go up, you may have altitude sickness, so small oxygen cylinders are a must-have.

After spending 728 yuan to buy four tickets from the ticket office of the cableway, the group began to trek along a mountaineering road. It took about five kilometers to walk from the ticket office to the lower station of the cableway.

Fortunately, this mountaineering road is very easy to walk, and the whole journey is in the shade. Although it is still drizzling in the sky, walking and climbing here is really poetic and picturesque.

"There are three cableways in Yulong Snow Mountain. The cableway we are going to now is a large cableway, which is the longest and the highest altitude cableway." Zhao Shuang explained while walking.

"What about the other two cableways? Why can't you see it?" asked Princess.

"The two cableways are both in the north. Do you see that road? Walk along that road all the way north, about fifteen kilometers away here, the northernmost Yak Ping Cableway. That cableway is the middle cableway. Because the big cableway we are taking today is not very active, so the Yak Ping Cableway is the most tourists. But the Yak Ping Cableway cannot reach the glacier."

After a pause, Zhao Shuang continued: "On the way to the Yaukoping Cableway, I happened to pass by Yunshanping. Yunshanping is about six kilometers away from us. There is also a cableway in Yunshanping, which is Yunshanping Small Cableway. This cableway is the lowest altitude cableway. We were very lucky today. Although it was a little rainy, the cableway was still open. Usually, the cableway is not open, especially when the weather is not good."

Yang Jing smiled and said, "If the big cableway cannot be opened, we have to go to the yak ping cableway?"

"Well, that's it. There's no way. The altitude of the big cableway is too high. The altitude of the lower station alone is close to 3,400. If the weather is too bad, the big cableway cannot be started."

Yang Jing nodded, "I know this, especially in places with an altitude of more than 4,000, the weather cannot be compared with the one below. Perhaps when it is below, the weather is still shining brightly, but once it passes four thousand meters, it may be snowing heavily. The weather changes in the plateau area are still very severe."

Several people walked while talking and joking, and soon arrived at the lower station of the cableway.

At the entrance of the lower station, the most attractive thing is the three-meter-high stone on the left side of the entrance. The big stone is written in a sky blue color with the words "Yulong Snow Mountain, 3356". These words are all vertical, and the number 3356 is the altitude of the lower station.

The cable car was opened today, so there were still many tourists here. The four of them lined up for a while before they got on a blue hanging box.

Sitting in the hanging box, there was a gray sky above my head. The legendary Blue Sky Snow Mountain was not available today. However, there were lush trees under my feet, and the white snowy mountain at the end of the cableway was the white snowy mountain.
