Lijiang Old Town and Jade Dragon Snow Mountain

Lijiang

Local time UTC+8Checked 4,063 viewsHDMountains

This live camera looks out over Lijiang, a historic city in northwest Yunnan at about 2,400 metres above sea level. The category is mountain, so the view is centred on high terrain rather than the city streets alone. It is useful for anyone wanting to see current conditions before planning a trip to this part of southwest China.

About Lijiang and its setting

Lijiang sits in a broad valley at the foot of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain range in Yunnan province. Its old town, with canal-side lanes and wooden houses, is one of the best-known heritage areas in the country and draws visitors from across China and abroad. The surrounding landscape moves quickly from farmland to forested slopes to snowfields, which is why the mountain setting shapes so much of the local character.

What the camera is best for watching

Because the camera is listed under mountains, the most rewarding moments are usually clear mornings, when peaks are more likely to be visible, and late afternoon, when light softens across the slopes. Cloud often gathers over the high ground in the afternoon during the wet season, so the picture can change within minutes. Check the live weather block on this page before expecting a clear view of the summits.

Climate and getting around

Lijiang has a mild highland climate with pleasant days in spring and autumn, cool nights year-round and a rainy period in summer. Many travellers visit between March and May or from September to November. The city is reached by air through its regional airport, and nearby Kunming is a major transport hub. Another camera from the region, in Kunming, is listed on this site for comparison.
