There are 3 levels you can choose to go, most tour groups visit the first level Spruce Meadow. So if you want to beat the crowd avoid it. We went to the second level Yak Meadow because its summer, it looks better and there are no snow at the top of the mountain so no point going all the way up. The Yak Meadow is lovely, we almost felt that we own the place as we were the only few there. No crowd no problem with pictures.
Probably one reason that it is not popular is because you need to take a mini bus to the cable car and that trip will take approximately 40 mins.
Only their local buses are allow to be driven, after the show everyone rushes to the ticket counter and wait for the correct buses to take them to their correct cable car destination. My Q was so short, unlike the Q to the spruce Meadow. We hop on to the bus and off we go, buses leave at a specified timing.
There is a pathway for you to walk around, the whole walk takes approximately about an hour. I think its advisable to bring some picnic along. It does not matter where you prefer to be having your lunch, but do bring food as you will probably spent half your day at the Jade Dragon Mountain and you are bound to be hungry. Such a lovely place, take your time to enjoy it, don't let hunger make you leave this place earlier. I didn't see any restaurant except at the base, where the show is.
Important tip: Bring your lunch
Oh yes, you come together, you leave together unless you want to wait. We had two groups on the bus, ourselves and another group. The guides were discussing what time they should meet and leave the place. The driver has informed them that they have to leave together. So, do let your guide know how long you wish to stay, don't let them make the decision for you. We stayed approximately 3 hours at the Yak Meadow.
