Jade Dragon Snow Mountain tickets for foreigners

Trip.com lists the mountain as <strong>Yulong Snow Mountain</strong>. Searching only “Jade Dragon” can miss the main product. Admission (CNY 100) + eco-bus (CNY 20) are required; the Glacier Park cable (CNY 120) is the piece that sells out — and many cable products exclude admission.

Booking steps

  1. Open Trip.com and search Yulong Snow Mountain (not only “Jade Dragon”): attraction page.
  2. Decide: cable-car-only (buy admission + eco-bus on-site) vs a package including admission. Read the title for “Excluding Admission Ticket”.
  3. Pick date early; enter passport details. Limits: 1 item per ID/mobile per date; 5 per booking.
  4. Go early — hours about 07:00–18:00; ticket sales until ~15:00; admission ends ~16:00 (confirm on product).
  5. Bring the same passport. Plan for altitude at Glacier Park.

What costs what (2026)

FLOW capture 6 Oct 2026 (Trip.com Yulong page + checkout notices). Xinhua 2 Jul 2026 admission/eco-bus prices. Weather and cable inventory change daily — re-check the product page.

Pitfalls: Searching only “Jade Dragon”; buying cable-only and discovering admission is separate; arriving after 15:00 ticket cut-off; ignoring altitude; hotel transfer not matching cable time.

Also: Yunnan hub · release times · booking without Chinese phone.

FAQ

What should I search on Trip.com?

Search “Yulong Snow Mountain”. “Jade Dragon” alone often returns minor POIs.

Does the cable-car ticket include admission?

Often no — titles say “Excluding Admission Ticket”. Buy admission on-site or pick a package that includes admission (FLOW saw ~US$61 on 6 Oct 2026).

How early do cable slots sell out?

Fast on peak dates — “Only 10 spots left” appeared 3 days out in our capture. Max 1 item per ID/number per date; max 5 per booking.

Altitude?

Glacier Park is ~4,500 m. Oxygen / “Three Treasures” kits are common add-ons — go early; tickets sell until ~15:00, admission ends ~16:00.
