Jade Dragon Snow Mountain (zh-stp|s=玉龙雪山|t=玉龍雪山|p=Yùlóngxuě Shān) is a mountain massif (also identified as a small mountain range) near Lijiang, in Yunnan province of southwestern China. Its highest peak is named Shanzidou (扇子陡) (5,596 m or 18,359 ft). The view of the massif from the gardens at the Black Dragon Pool (Heilong Tan) in Lijiang is noted as one of China's finest views.
