Braving the snow to explore Jinsha Horseshoe Bend and the Thirteen Peaks of Meili, I painted it for you!

Horseshoe Bend is truly breathtakingly beautiful!😍 📍Location: Benzilan Town, Deqin County, Diqing Prefecture, Yunnan Province, at the big bend of the Jinsha River ✨This place is called the "First Bend of the Jinsha River," where the river, shrouded in mist, looks like an emerald necklace—so beautiful it seems unreal! It's recommended to bring a telephoto lens; every shot is a masterpiece📸 But! The Thirteen Peaks of Meili are so aloof!😭 As China's most beautiful snow mountain, the main peak Kawagebo stands at 6,740 meters! I specifically went to: 📍Best viewing spot: Feilai Temple Scenic Area, Deqin County (beside National Highway 214) 🎫Ticket: 40 RMB/person But it was all white clouds, not a single peak in sight! So I took out my brush and sketched on site to satisfy everyone’s craving～🎨 ⚠️Hard-earned tips: 1️⃣ Winter must-have: snow chains! We installed and removed them twice, our hands were frozen stiff🥶 (saw several people slipping) 2️⃣ Recommended to drive a 4WD🚙 + have at least 5 years of driving experience; the mountain roads are narrow and dangerous 3️⃣ October to December is the best viewing period🌅, with a high chance to see the "Sunlight on the Golden Mountain"! 📌Tips: ✅ Altitude over 3,500 meters, watch out for altitude sickness ✅ Bring sunglasses🕶️, the snow glare is very strong ✅ Camera + tripod are essential, time-lapse photography is stunning Although I didn’t see the full peaks, this mysterious, half-hidden feeling is even more captivating～💫 Guide Tips
