Frequently Asked Questions

Is the altitude a problem?

The cable car goes to 4,506m. Most visitors feel mild shortness of breath. We recommend buying oxygen canisters (¥60) at the base. Avoid running and take it slow.

What should I wear?

Warm layers even in summer — the mountain is 10-15°C colder than Lijiang. Sunglasses, sunscreen, and a hat are essential.

How long should we spend on the mountain?

4-5 hours is ideal. The cable car ride is 20 minutes each way.

Can we combine with Tiger Leaping Gorge?

Yes, but it makes for a very long day (12+ hours). We recommend separate days.

Is this suitable for children?

Children over 8 generally do fine at 4,506m. Bring oxygen and watch for signs of altitude sickness.
