Yulong Snow Mountain has 13 peaks, which are arranged vertically from south to north, stretching nearly 35 kilometers from east to west and about 25 kilometers wide. Yulong Snow Mountain is not only magnificent, but also beautiful and tall, beautifully shaped, crystal clear as jade, as bright as thirteen swords. Against the blue sky, it dances forever like a silver jade dragon, hence its name. Because the lithology of Yulong Snow Mountain is mainly limestone and basalt, which is black and white, it is also called "black and white snow mountain".
