She is one of Yunnan's protcted nature reserves, and a certain fee is charged to those for making scientific investigations, collecting animal and plant specimens, taking photos and shooting films.

Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is yet to be conquered by a human, albeit mountaineering teams from the United States, Japan, China, and other countries have tried.

She is an awesome mountain, a whimsical mountain.

She even has green glittering snow. You can see it from Yunshanping ( Dragon Spruce Meadow )if you look westward. The only explanation that has emerged is that it may be caused by crystals or algae. And she has a glacier at the lowest altitude in China that is 7.5 miles wide and 21.7 miles long.

She has attracted the attention of many scholars and travelers. Early in 1837, the French writer Bacier  introduced Jade Dragon Snow Mountain in his acclaimed book entitled " Universe ".

And seven years ago the chairman of the international Mountainous Region led a team to the mountain for field work.
