Spruce Meadow (\u4e91\u6749\u576a \/ Y\u00fansh\u0101np\u00edng) is a stunning alpine meadow on the eastern slope of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain (Yulong Snow Mountain), about 25 km north of Lijiang Old Town in Yunnan, China.<\/p>\n
Here are the key highlights:<\/p>\n
What It Is<\/p>\n
A vast high-altitude meadow at ~3,240 meters, ringed by ancient spruce forests with snow-capped peaks as the backdrop.<\/p>\n
In the Naxi language it’s called “You Wu Ge” (\u6e38\u5348\u9601), meaning “land of love and death” \u2014 historically regarded as a sacred place where lovers would meet their end for love.<\/p>\n
Getting There<\/p>\n
From Lijiang Old Town, take the 101 bus (\u96ea\u5c71\u4e13\u7ebf) from Zhongyi Market for about \u00a515, or a taxi for ~\u00a580\u2013100.<\/p>\n
Inside the park, you’ll ride a shuttle bus, then take the Spruce Meadow cable car (about 8 minutes) up to the meadow.<\/p>\n
Tickets (2026)<\/p>\n
Park entry fee: \u00a5100<\/p>\n
Spruce Meadow cable car + shuttle bus: \u00a560<\/p>\n
Tickets can be booked in advance via the “\u4e3d\u6c5f\u65c5\u6e38\u96c6\u56e2” WeChat mini-program.<\/p>\n
What to Do<\/p>\n
Walk the 1.5 km wooden boardwalk through the meadow and surrounding spruce forest \u2014 the full loop takes about 45 minutes.<\/p>\n
Take photos with the snow mountain, forest, and meadow layered behind you \u2014 especially beautiful in the soft morning light before 9 AM.<\/p>\n
It’s often paired with Blue Moon Valley (\u84dd\u6708\u8c37) for a relaxed day trip, as it’s less crowded than the main glacier park.<\/p>\n
Tips<\/p>\n
Altitude is moderate (3,240 m), so altitude sickness is usually mild, but walk slowly and bring snacks\/water.<\/p>\n
UV is strong \u2014 bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat.<\/p>\n
Best light for photos is early morning; it gets busier after 10 AM.<\/p>\n
If you’re planning a visit, it’s a great choice for a more relaxed, scenic experience compared to the high-altitude Glacier Park, with fairy-tale-like forest and meadow views.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
