Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is located about 15 kilometers north of Lijiang City, Yunnan Province. It is a modern oceanic glacier area with the lowest latitude in the Northern Hemisphere and the closest distance to the equator. It is also the "sacred mountain" in the hearts of the Naxi people (known as "Oulu" in Naxi language). The main peak fan has a steep altitude of 5596 meters and is covered in snow all year round, resembling a silver giant dragon lying horizontally in the clouds, hence the name "Jade Dragon".
