Almost Didn't Make It Back with Kids on Meili Loop! This Survival Guide is a Must-Save

Just dragged my 6-year-old back from Yunnan's Meili Snow Mountain Touching my oxygen-deprived purple lips to tell you the hard truth‼️ Sunrise over snow-capped mountains is breathtakingly beautiful😭 but family trips here are full of pitfalls! (Includes real altitude sickness records + life-saving itinerary) 🏔First, the experience: Snow mountains and forests look like movie magic🎬 but the altitude made my kid cry all night! Copy my survival route below👇 🚗6-day 5-night pitfall-avoiding itinerary: D1: Dali airport pickup → Songtsam Stone Moon Lodge (altitude acclimation) D2: Yaping Forest light hike → First Bend of Nujiang photo stop → Songtsam Bingzhongluo Lodge D3: Make Nu blankets in Wuli Village → Paint thangka at Puhua Temple → Songtsam Meili Lodge D4: Meili sunrise golden view → Jinsha River Great Bend → Niding Forest hike D5: Blessings at Songtsam Linshi Temple → Trip ends ⚠️Lessons paid for with oximeter readings⚠️ 1️⃣NEVER stay at Meili first night! Songtsam Meili Lodge is at 3600m😵 Our kid cried "my head's exploding" at midnight 2️⃣Skip Peacock Mountain hike! Marketed as kid-friendly🏔 but involves 5-hour cliff paths😱 Guides say only suitable for 12+ 3️⃣Don't wear white in Wuli Village! Plant dyes for Nu blankets are permanent🌿 My new T-shirt turned into camouflage 💯Kid's favorite activities💯 ✅Puhua Temple thangka: Masters teach Eight Auspicious Symbols🎨 My 6yo completed one independently! ✅Niding Forest hike: Shady cool trails🌲 Hunt rare orchids by streams (guides provide magnifiers🔍) ✅Songtsam Linshi prayer wheels: Rent Tibetan costumes👑 Little lamas secretly gave him blessed candy～ ✅Wuli Village blanket weaving: Rainbow yarn coasters🧶 Bai grandma called him "youngest heritage bearer" 🍜Tested delicious foods Songtsam Meili's butter tea🍵 relieves altitude sickness! Bingzhongluo "Tea-Horse Inn" pipa pork🥓 finger-licking good Songtsam Linka's yak hotpot🍲 Kid had three bowls of broth ⚠️Life-saving tips⚠️ 1️⃣Buy oxygen cans online! Triple price at scenic spots💸 2️⃣Pack 10 pants! Nettles sting during hikes😭 3️⃣Get SPF100+! UV rays can peel skin in 1 hour 4️⃣Bring foldable toilet seat! Pit toilets terrify kids Now my kid became a "human altimeter" Constantly touching ears saying "I'm acclimating"😂 Though I lost 5 pounds from exhaustion That sunrise golden moment made it all worthwhile!
