China is home to some of the most beautiful places in the world. Be sure to visit Yunnan province and make time to travel from Lijiang out to the smaller ancient towns.
Beautiful landscape in Yunnan
The majestic Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and the sea of clouds that are simply breathtaking! Standing tall at 4506m, it is definitely not an easy feat to come see this mountain and combat altitude sickness. A travel memory worth to remember for life! #jadedragonsnowmountain #clouds #mountain #china #lijiang #nature #landscape #中国 #丽江 #玉龙雪山 #yagizaneophotography #sonya7iii #greatoutdoors
