Jiaozi Snow Mountain, also known as Yunnong Mountain and Jiangyunlu Mountain, is located at the junction of Luquan County and Dongchuan City, with a height of 4,344 meters and about 150 kilometers away from Luquan County.
As a national 4A scenic spot and nature reserve, Jiaozi Snow Mountain is the first peak and a mountain-shaped glacial landform landscape in middle Yunnan Province.
It is composed of Jiaozi Mountain, Qiwang Mountain, Dongying Mountain, Guanyin Mountain, etc. The mountain is a seasonal snow mountain and is well-known for its Chinese sedan appearance, whose latitude is the lowest of the Northern Hemisphere.
In the scenic area, towering peaks, cliffs, primitive forests, ice-eroded lakes, alpine meadows, and glacier remains are well preserved. There are various species of rare plants, abundant rare animal and plant resources, and unique landscape changes during four seasons.
The weather on the mountain can vary drastically. In winter, the mountain is covered with white snow, presenting amazing scenery of ice lakes, ice waterfalls, rimes, and snowfields. Skiing is a highly popular activity for adventurous tourists.
In summer, at an altitude of 2,500-4,000 meters, silver waterfalls cascade down with smoke-filled scenes, making a huge sound, which is very spectacular.
Besides, the ice and snow world, the azalea sea, the sea of clouds, sunrise, and Buddha corona are recognized as the five wonders on Jiaozi Snow Mountain.
Mainly distributed in the southwest of China, the Sabina Squamata community is a unique vegetation type in China. Sabina Squamata in the Jiaozi Mountain Nature Reserve is tree-like with a height of more than ten meters, located at an altitude of 3,200-3,700 meters, which develops into a rare type.
Such a large and contiguous Sabina Squamata is unique not only in Yunnan Province but also in China as well.
Belonging to a species of Taxus of Taxaceae, it is an endemic species in China and a national first-class protected plant. Produced in Sichuan, Yunnan, Tibet, and other places in China, it grows in mountainous areas at an altitude of 2,000-3,500 meters.
In addition to its majestic waterfalls and stunning lakes, there is also a wonderland of Azalea flowers. They usually bloom from April to June. White Azaleas look very pure, the purple look noble, the red ones are warm, and yellow azaleas are beautiful and elegant. They stand in sharp contrast to the waterfalls and embellish the mountain beautifully.
The Buddha Corona Cliff, at 4,200 meters above sea level, is one of the best sightseeing platforms for appreciating the the sea of clouds and canyon in Jiaozi Mountain.
Just as its name implies, the sightseeing platform is a place where visitors can enjoy the magical Buddha light. (July to October is the regular season of Buddha corona.)
Because of the light’s reflection and refraction, coupled with the fog in the air, colored Buddha corona appears.
Another highlight of the Jiaozi Snow Mountain in winter is icefalls. From a distance, they look like white marble sculptures, so varied that visitors forget to blink. In the warm spring, these spectacular and charming icefalls melt and turn into waterfalls, pouring down from the mountains. The falls, which range from 2,500 to 4,000 meters, include Sister Waterfalls, Huaxi District Waterfalls, Dripping Rock Waterfalls, Lotus Waterfalls, and Flown-over Waterfalls.
Legend has it that more than a thousand years ago, it was a vast plain here. The plain was divided into the north and south parts, with a large rich family in the north and a poor village in the south.
A young man from the rich family had been a bully and had done all sorts of bad things such as robbing sheep and pigs from the poor of the south.
One day, the young man came to the south to press people for payment. By chance, he met a beautiful girl named Ying’er. After returning home, he did not eat anything for several days, and he had evil in his heart.
On the first day of the New Year, the young man came with a gang and wanted to take away the girl. They threatened her to set fire in the village and kill all the villagers if she did not obey. To save the village from disaster, she had to say good-bye to the villagers with tears, and sit in the sedan.
When they reached the north-south junction, suddenly there was a strong wind and thunder, followed by a huge landslide.
In a twinkling, the whole earth returned to calm, but there appeared a big mountain that ran through the east and west, which separated the north and the south flatly. The young man and his gang turned into stone.
From then on, the rich in the north could no longer bother the poor in the south. Hence the mountain got its name Jiaozi Snow Mountain (Jiaozi in Chinese means sedan).
March, April, September, and October are the best time for visiting. Viewing the mountain from March to April, visitors can appreciate the Azalea sea. In September and October, there are grand waterfalls, and even icefalls.
