The next day, Sun Aoran and Zhao Shuang did not go to work, and the two of them took three days off when they learned that Yang Jing and Gege had come to Lijiang for a trip.
It happened to be in time for the continuous heavy rain at their construction site, and there was no way to do it, so the two of them were liberated.
Accompanied by Sun Aoran and Zhao Shuang, to be precise, accompanied by Zhao Shuang, early the next morning, the four of them braved the misty light rain and began to march like the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain.
If you come to Lijiang and don't take a look at the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, it's like going to Yanjing without going to Badaling and the Forbidden City.
Sun Aoran has been on this construction site here for more than half a year, but he has never been to Yulong Snow Mountain once, one is that he usually has no time to come out to play, and the other is that the construction site where he is at the southern end of Yongsheng, which is closer to Dali than Lijiang.
However, Zhao Shuang is a native of Lijiang, she was born and raised here, and she is very familiar with the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and the scenic spots around Lijiang.
So this time I went to Yulong Snow Mountain, and Zhao Shuang became a tour guide.
At Zhao Shuang's suggestion, several people did not go with the group, but drove directly to the Yulong Snow Mountain Scenic Area.
"The drive is the fastest, you can go directly to the parking lot below the snow-capped mountain, and go up another five kilometers to reach the big ropeway, and then we take the big ropeway directly up the mountain."
Zhao Shuang talked about today's arrangements while driving the car.
Gege looked at the big snow mountain in the northwest through the car window, and said longingly: "It is said how beautiful the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is, to be honest, I really didn't take it as a thing before, but now that I have seen it with my own eyes, I really know that it is really worthy of the name." ” Zhao Shuang smiled: "Of course, the beauty of the scenery here is really difficult to describe in words, I grew up here since I was a child, even if I have been here countless times, but every time I see this beautiful snowy mountain, I can't help but be excited, and I will try my best to find some beautiful words to describe her, but I can't do it, I really can't do it, she is really beautiful." ” Zhao Shuang slammed the handle, avoided an almost rampage tourist minibus, and smiled helplessly.
Sun Aoran, who was sitting in the co-pilot's seat, scolded angrily: "Damn bastard, how do you drive?"
Are you in a hurry to go home for the funeral?
” Zhao Shuang shook his head and comforted his boyfriend, "Ao Ran, don't say that, the driver here is like this, there's no way, let's just pay more attention."
It's useless for you to get angry with them. ” Gege frowned and said, "Why are there so many cars here, are they all here for tourism?"
” Zhao Shuang smiled, "Sister Gege, there are few cars today, if you encounter good weather, there will be frequent traffic jams on this road, sometimes a traffic jam is for several hours."
I also saw that the weather was not very good today, so I decided to drive.
If the weather is nice, we'll have to walk up.
Because in that kind of good weather, walking is faster than driving. ” Yang Jing also shook his head speechlessly, the traffic jam in the big capital is serious enough, but according to Zhao Shuang, the traffic jam here is even worse than the big capital.
"So many tourists here?
Can the scenic spot afford it?
” Zhao Shuang shook his head, "The scenic spot has long been overloaded, especially in the past ten years, with the popularity of self-driving tours and domestic tourism, Yulong Snow Mountain and even the entire Lijiang City have been overwhelmed." ” After a pause, Zhao Shuang continued: "Yulong Snow Mountain is the closest glacier to the equator in the northern hemisphere, plus it is famous, so a large number of tourists come here every year to watch the glacier.
The Yulong Snow Mountain Scenic Area has an area of 260 square kilometers, but with the completion of three ropeways, especially the large ropeway, which can directly reach the core area of the reserve at an altitude of 4,508 meters, this has led to overdevelopment.
Coupled with global warming, the glaciers in the Yulong Snow Mountain have disappeared a lot, and after entering the new century, the No. 5 glacier of the Yanggong River has undergone two large-scale collapses.
The largest glacier, Whitewater No. 1, is also shrinking in size and thickness.
If it goes on like this, the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain will be really dangerous. ” Shaking his head, Zhao Shuang sighed helplessly, "But there is no way, tourism is an important economic pillar of Lijiang, and now everything is on par with GDP, as a result" Zhao Shuang, as a local, watched the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain get worse day by day, and the discomfort in her heart naturally went without saying.
Gege asked, "Then the state doesn't want to find a way to control?"
” Zhao Shuang smiled bitterly: "How to control it?"
These tourists are all money, and they all represent GDP!
Who controls?
Who can control it?
Look at the four of us, aren't we one of them?
” A few people were talking, and soon the car drove to the Ganhaizi Scenic Area at an altitude of more than 3,100 meters, and after parking the car in the parking lot, Yang Jing asked with a smile: "There is also a golf course here?"
The altitude is so high, who comes up to play ball?
” Zhao Shuang said: "This golf course is not simple, this is a very famous foreigner design, I forgot what the name is."
It was completed and opened in 2001.
The golf course is the only snow-capped mountain course in the Northern Hemisphere and one of the highest in the world.
In the summer, many people like to come here to play in the summer, with the green grass on one side and the glacier and snow on the west.
Business here is very good. ” Sun Aoran said: "The cost here is not cheap, right?
” Zhao Shuang said: "It seems to be okay."
I remember my dad said that the cost of 18 holes was about 900, and on weekends, it was about 1,000 yuan.
Coupled with a series of other expenses such as caddie fees, shoe rental fees, pole rental fees, umbrella rental fees, and golf cart fees, an eighteen-hole can cost 2,000 yuan to go up. ” Gege poked Yang Jing, "What's the matter, you're tempted?"
If you want to, buy this place, and then we'll come and play every summer." ” Yang Jing shook his head with a smile, "I'm not very interested in this sport yet, and when I like this sport one day, I'll buy it here, and we will come over to play every summer." ” Zhao Shuang didn't know Yang Jing's net worth, so he asked Sun Aoran in a low voice: "Aoran, your classmate is very rich?"
” Sun Aoran is not very clear about Yang Jing's net worth, but Sun Aoran knows that Yang Jing is engaged in antiques these days, and he is indeed relatively rich, but if he wants to buy such a golf club, I am afraid it is still far away.
So he shook his head and said, "Maybe it's a joke." ” The little couple heard what they said, but she didn't explain, just grinned.

With Yang Jing's current net worth, buying this golf club is just a gesture.
Opening the trunk, several people carried their backpacks, which contained some things that had been prepared last night.
For example, small oxygen cylinders, some high-calorie foods and drinking water.
Although it is a large ropeway, the altitude of the upper station of the large ropeway is as high as 4,508 meters, and at first glance, altitude sickness is likely to occur, so a small oxygen cylinder is a must-have.
After spending 728 yuan to buy four tickets from the ticket office of the Grand Ropeway, the group began to trek along a hiking road.
It is about five kilometers from the ticket office to the lower station of the Grand Ropeway.
But fortunately, this hiking road is very easy to walk, the whole process is in the shade of greenery, although the sky is still drizzling, but here to walk and climb the mountain, it is really very poetic.
"There are a total of three cableways in the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, and the ropeway we are going to now is the big cableway, which is the longest and highest altitude."
Zhao Shuang explained as he walked.
"What about the other two ropeways?
Why can't you see it?
Gege asked.
"Both ropeways are on the north side.
See that road?
Walk along the road all the way to the north, there are still about fifteen kilometers away from here on the northernmost Yakniuping Cableway, that ropeway is the middle cableway, because the big ropeway we take today is usually not much, so the Yakniuping Cableway is the most visited cableway.
It's just that the Yakniuping Cableway can't reach the glacier. ” After a pause, Zhao Shuang continued: "On the way to the Yakniuping Cableway, I happened to pass by Spruce Ping, which is about six kilometers away from us.
There is also a ropeway in Spruce Ping, which is the Spruce Ping Small Ropeway, which is the lowest altitude ropeway.
We were lucky today, although it was a little rainy, the big ropeway was still open.
Usually, the ropeway is not open, especially when the weather is bad. ” Yang Jing smiled: "If the big ropeway is not opened, we have to go to the yak flat cableway?"
” "Well, that's it.
No way, the altitude of the big ropeway is too high, the altitude of the lower station alone is close to 3400, if the weather is too bad, the big ropeway can't be started. ” Yang Jing nodded, "I know this, especially in this kind of place where the altitude is more than four thousand, the weather can't be compared to below at all."
Maybe the weather is still sunny below, but once you pass 4,000 meters, it may be snowing heavily.
The weather changes dramatically in the highlands. ” A few people walked while talking and laughing, and soon came to the lower station of the large ropeway.
At the entrance of the lower station, the most attractive thing is the three-meter-high stone in the passage on the left side of the entrance, and the words "Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, 3356" are written on the big stone in sky blue.
These words are all vertical, and the number 3356 is the altitude of the lower station.
The ropeway opened today, so there are still a lot of tourists here.
The four of them waited in line for a while, and then they sat in a blue gondola.
Sitting in the gondola, there is a somewhat gray sky overhead, and the legendary blue sky and snow mountain are not seen today.
However, there are lush trees underfoot, and at the end of the ropeway is a large white snow-capped mountain.
This rare scenery naturally has to stay forever, so the four of them immediately turned into selfie maniacs
