A sightseeing snow mountain reached directly by cableway; the main peak stands at approx. 4,500 m, and 'Shika' means 'the mountain with red deer' in Tibetan. Two cableway sections run via Yalaqingbo Pasture to the summit, from where, on clear days, you can gaze far at nearby snow-capped ranges such as Yulong (Jade Dragon), Haba and Meili. The summit boardwalk is short and altitude sickness calls for pacing yourself; oxygen can be rented on the mountain. Seasonal snowscapes alternate with seas of alpine azaleas (May-June), making it the most easily accessible snow mountain on the Lijiang–Shangri-La route.
Getting there: By taxi from downtown approx. 20 minutes to the lower cableway station
