In 1938, an expedition led by the Australian lawyer, feminist, conservationist, and mountaineer, Marie Byles, failed to reach the summit due to bad weather. Settlements surrounding Jade Dragon Snow Mountain include Baisha Town to the south, Longpan Township to the west, Daju Township to the northeast, and Jade Water Village at the foot of the mountain to the east. The Yulong Mountains lie to the south of the Yun Range and are part of Southwest China's greater Hengduan Mountains. In this gorge, the Jinsha (upper Yangtze) River descends dramatically between Jade Dragon and Haba Snow Mountain.
The northwestern flank of the massif forms one side of the Tiger Leaping Gorge (Hǔtiào Xiá, 虎跳峡), which has a popular trekking route on the other side. The Jade Dragon Snow Mountain massif forms the bulk of the larger Yulong Mountains, that stretch further north. The mountain's Naxi name is Mount Satseto. The Chinese name, Yùlóng Xuěshān, translates directly as Jade Dragon Snow Mountain it is sometimes translated as Mount Yulong or Yulong Snow Mountain. Its highest peak is named Shanzidou or Shan-Tzu-tou ( 扇子陡) and it is 5,596 m (18,360 ft) above sea level.
