this is the beautiful Yulong (Jade Dragon) Snow Mountain that i recently visited while in China. the mountain range is right outside of Lijiang, one of the most ethnically diverse citys in China. up close, the mountain is stunning, and it is a sanctuary for rare animals and wild plants. in fact, one fourth of all plant species in China can be found here and 20 primeval forest communities shelter a big family of 400 types of trees and 30 kinds of animals which are protected by the state.
