It costs about 25 american dollars to use this cablecar going up some 4500 meters towards the base of the top of Yulongxue Shan or the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. This was in May, the snow must be permanent all year long. The heights make some people dizzy and oxygen is sold canned for your convenience. Short walks give you leaden feet because of the lack of oxygen. The fierce sun burns you brown in a few minutes. This place mainly aimed at Chinese tourists is often booked full, only a an early start guarantees you a place in one of the cablecars. © Reenbo Multimedia, another pic by Bo Logiantara
