This winter, let's unlock the "World's Most Beautiful Snow Mountain" together~

A century ago, explorer Joseph Rock came to the Deqin area in Yunnan and was captivated by the grandeur of Meili Snow Mountain, praising it as the "World's Most Beautiful Snow Mountain." Many friends have probably seen photos like the one in Figure 4. This shooting angle is at Feilai Temple, the "best check-in spot" for Meili Snow Mountain. In the secret realm of Yubeng, there is also one of "China's Top Ten Classic Hiking Trails," which revolves around this "most beautiful snow mountain." The route we just completed during the 8th Meili Snow Mountain Pilgrimage Month is exactly this trail. After bidding farewell to the colorful autumn forests, Yubeng is about to enter a "world of snow." If the sky is clear and the sun shines on the golden mountain, Meili Snow Mountain appears even more sacred. At this moment, we hope to lead more friends to witness the splendor of the "World's Most Beautiful Snow Mountain." 🔥🔥 About the [Yubeng Hiking 5/6 Days] 🎒 Sample itinerary D1: Lijiang - Xiaozhongdian - Moon Bay - Feilai Temple D2: Feilai Temple - Sunlit Golden Mountain - Lancang River - Ninong Grand Canyon - Yubeng Village D3: Yubeng Village - Sea Buckthorn Forest - Mountain Pass - Xiaonong Base Camp - Ice Lake - Yubeng Village D4: Yubeng Village - Primeval Forest - Rest Camp - Divine Waterfall - Yubeng Village D5: Yubeng Village - Ninong Canyon - Deqin - Shangri-La / Lijiang ——6-day version—— D6: Shangri-La - Tiger Leaping Gorge High Road Hike - Lijiang Disband (Note: If the Tiger Leaping Gorge High Road is closed, the itinerary will be adjusted to visit Upper Tiger Leaping Gorge instead.) ❇️❇️ Main Scenery ✅ Meili Snow Mountain Also known as the "Prince Thirteen Peaks," at Feilai Temple, you can not only face its main peak Kawagebo directly but also see a cluster of snow peaks standing side by side. On the Yubeng hiking trail, there are even more perspectives to admire this "World's Most Beautiful Snow Mountain." In winter, Meili Snow Mountain is covered in silver, showcasing pure beauty. ✅ Ice Lake One of the important pilgrimage points for local Tibetans during their mountain circumambulation, and a must-visit scenic spot on the Yubeng hike. In early winter, part of the lake surface freezes first, allowing you to see its original emerald water coexist with ice, as if witnessing the passage of time; in deep winter, the Ice Lake may be completely frozen, entering a state of slumber, appearing even more peaceful. ✅ Divine Waterfall Another important pilgrimage point for local Tibetans during their mountain circumambulation and a must-visit spot on the Yubeng hike. Although the water flow is smaller in winter, this place has never been just a single "waterfall" scene; it also features the towering snow mountains nearby and prayer flags fluttering in the wind. In the hearts of Tibetans, circling around Ice Lake and Divine Waterfall, gazing up at the snow mountains, or feeling the wind blowing the prayer flags are all different forms of pilgrimage and blessing. More importantly, it is about the "sincere heart." Amidst the vast snowy landscape, hiking forward and quietly feeling this tranquility dissolves all the "worldly troubles" of the past year, leaving only prayers for "goodness." The first snow has fallen in Yubeng; let's set off together~
