Archaic legend about this mysterious and beautiful snow mountain goes like this: Once upon a time, Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and Haba Snow Mountain were twins. They had lived on panning in Golden Sand River until one day an evil fiend usurped the river.

In Yunnan still 2,37 % (126,620) of the citizen are Tibetian.

White Water River is a river formed by runoff from the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. At the east foot of the mountain exits an attraction, Dry Sea (Ganhai). It had been a highland glacial lake before the 1940s and was formed after the water had dried up. Now its a tourist attraction to ride an Yak and cross the river with the animal. The steps in the river are made by human hands and a Chinese way to "correct" the nature.

The snow-covered and fog-enlaced mountain resembles a jade dragon lying in the clouds, hence, the name Jade Dragon Snow Mountain.
