    The Traveling Epicure

    Deqin, Diqing | The soul of the Three Parallel Rivers Natural Heritage

    Within its borders, there are towering snow mountains, turbulent canyons, glacier lakes, deep mountain medicinal materials, rare birds and animals, and the simple and unique ethnic customs. The scenic spots centered on Meili Snow Mountain are unique. 'The peaks overlap and undulate, and the canyons rush horizontally and vertically' constitute the complex terrain of the whole Deqin County with high mountains, steep slopes, long canyons, and deep valleys. From Benzilan Town to the top of Baima Snow Mountain, you can enjoy the natural landscapes of different climate zones and the geographical, geological, and geomorphological wonders of the plate suture line, which can be described as 'half mountain snow, half mountain flowers, top wearing a leather jacket and waist wearing a veil, valley bottom bare-chested sweat full cheeks, a mountain four seasons meet the world'.

    Sacred Lake, Meili Snow Mountain

    Getting There - From Shangri-la it is a 4 hour bus ride to Feilaisi, you'll transfer to a small van in Deqin for a 10 km ride to Feilaisi. It's recommended to stay the night and watch the sunrise before taking an early private or shared taxi to Xidang. In Xidang you can take another taxi to Yubeng, 200 RMB per person to Yubeng Village, about 1 hour. Alternatively, you can hike from Xidang to Yubeng Village, between 3 to 6 hours. Much of the trail is unmarked, difficult to navigate, road, steep, and often muddy. Have a downloaded map or be confident in navigation techniques using the cairns, rock stackings, and red tape on the trees for guidance. I used a map from the app, AllTrails. It saved me a few times. You may stay in Upper Yubeng or Lower Yubeng. Lower Yubeng is closer to the trailhead to Sacred Lake. The hike will be roughly 12 km round trip on the one-way trail. Attractions - The hike is relatively flat for large portions of the trail and is completely paved. You can go off trail in a few locations to cut the distance, but it will be steeper than taking the designated switch backs. The trail is past Lower Yubeng Village into the valley and enters the first. It follows a river on the left. It's scenic and peaceful, stop to admire the hundreds of rock cairns or make your own. After a kilometer or two the trail begins a gradual decent, at this point you can cross the steep hillside to shorten the trek, but may be more difficult. The trail returns to a more flat surface with gradual elevation gains before the final, and real climb begins. The final 2 kilometers are a steep ascent fully comprised of concrete stairs and without shade from the trees, it can be hot here. There is an option to ride a horse during this segment. Continue climbing for about 30 minutes to one hour, depending on your speed. You will see many prayer flags as you get closer to the top with glimpses of the falls. After a difficult climb you will be rewarded with reaching the summit and clear views of the falls. You will get wet from the mist of the falls blowing on to you. For a more intense, refreshing, albeit cool dousing, make your way to a smaller waterfall to the right, over the hill and wade through a small pool before going under the falls for a dip and sip of the fresh mountain water. After drying off recover with a snack and enjoying the views one final time before heading back to Yubeng. The hike down is pleasant, but take it slow so you don't slip or hurt your knees. Many people walk the trail, and with horses passing by, it can be crowded. In total the hike may take anywhere from 5 to 8 hours from Upper Yubeng, slightly less from Lower Yubeng. Hotels - There are many guesthouses in Lower Yubeng and in Upper Yubeng. If staying in Upper Yubeng, Deqin Rain Water Guesthouse is an excellent option due to its cleanliness, amenities, hosts, and food. In addition, it's close to the Glacier Lake trailhead.

    Shangri-La | Originated from the Lost Horizon.

Between the two World Wars, he said: "The world is in danger of being lost, and his thoughts are stationed in Shangri-La." When we dream of going to Northern Europe and Southern France, Westerners are obsessed with Shangri-La. "Mountains as a barrier, rivers as a link" is a unique natural landscape of Shangri-La.

Nature uses subtle and shocking power to interpret the beauty of mountains and rivers to the extreme. In this mysterious canyon surrounded by snow-capped mountains, there are pyramid-shaped snow peaks, sapphire-like lakes, and vast boundless grasslands. People live in harmony with nature, multiple religions coexist, and multiple ethnic groups live together.

    Meili Snow Mountain in early autumn.

    We drove 344 km from Lijiang for 510 minutes. We crossed one mountain after another. The emotions that were damp and overflowing on the road were relieved when we arrived last night. In the early morning, the fog has not yet dissipated. There is a crescent moon hanging on the top of the mountain. We drove to Wunongding to watch the sunrise. It rained all night last night, and I didn't expect to see the sunrise, but I was still lucky. When I was about to arrive, the fog began to dissipate, the snow-capped mountains in the distance were white, and the top of the mountain began to appear. I was overjoyed. Maybe this is the will of God. I think of this sentence in the Buddhist scriptures: "Get what you have never had, and your heart is pure and joyful." I have gained knowledge that I have never understood, my heart has been purified, and then I am happy. I hung the prayer flags I brought to my friends in the wishing pavilion. My friend said that the prayer flags fluttered in the wind, and the prayers would be blown thousands of times! It was a beautiful and unforgettable journey.

Mount Kailash in Ngari, Tibet, is called the 'center of the world' and is a sacred place in the hearts of Tibetans, embodying their faith. The sunny side of the mountain is covered with snow all year round, while the shady side has no snow throughout the year.

Mount Siguniang in western Sichuan consists of four connected snow-capped peaks. The main peak, Yaomei Peak, stands at an altitude of 6,250 meters, making it the second highest peak in Sichuan. It is known as the 'Queen of Sichuan Mountains' and the 'Eastern Alps', and is very popular among outdoor hiking tourists. For many, it is their 'first snow mountain in life'.

    Sunshine on the Golden Mountain

    Always plan a trip to Meili Snow Mountain, any tips? Weather: Check the weather forecast in advance. There are only about 30-40 days a year when you can see the Sunshine on the Golden Mountain, so be prepared to wait a few days. Transportation: Self-driving/chartering a car, the scenery along the way is beautiful! Accommodation: We stayed at Meili's Eye, where you can see the Sunshine on the Golden Mountain from the room's balcony. The view is great, but the hotel conditions are really average, with outdated facilities. Fortunately, we quickly caught the Sunshine on the Golden Mountain, so we didn't need to stay for several days. Dining: Prices are quite high, so you can prepare some dry food yourself. Supplies: Cold medicine, anti-diarrhea medicine, altitude sickness prevention, oxygen bottles, energy bars. It's still necessary to buy oxygen bottles; inhaling a bit can relieve discomfort when you feel unwell. Tips: Try not to take a bath or engage in strenuous exercise to prevent altitude sickness. The temperature difference between day and night is large, so keep warm and prepare warm equipment. You can also visit Songzanlin Monastery, Dukezong Ancient Town, Napa Lake, and Pudacuo National Park.

    In the midst of Yunnan's myriad mountains and rivers lies a mysterious circuit that leads to the depths of the soul—the Meili Circuit. It is like an emerald necklace inlaid upon the earth, stringing together countless enchanting natural and cultural landscapes. 🌄 Day One: Departure and First Encounter Setting off from Dali, we embarked on this wonderful journey.

Day Four: The Call of Peacock Mountain The hike on Peacock Mountain was a tribute to nature. Along the winding mountain paths, we climbed to the summit, overlooking the intertwined beauty of snow-capped mountains and lakes, as if we were in a beautiful painting. Day Five: The Sunlit Golden Mountain of Meili Snow Mountain Meili Snow Mountain, this sacred snow-capped peak, greeted us with the magnificent sight of the Sunlit Golden Mountain on a clear autumn or winter morning. The incense burning prayers at Feilai Temple, the majestic turn of the Jinsha River, and the hiking adventure in the primitive forest of Niding all made us feel the magic and charm of nature. Day Six: Farewell at Songzanlin Monastery In the solemnity and sanctity of Songzanlin Monastery, we concluded our journey on the Meili Circuit. This temple not only witnessed our footsteps but also our reverence and love for nature and culture. The trip on the Meili Circuit was not only an exploration and experience of nature but also a purification and sublimation of the soul. Here, we felt the magic and beauty of nature and also experienced the uniqueness and charm of the local culture. 🌏

    Meili Snow Mountain! Just checked out! Highly recommend this scenic view hotel!!!

    Meili Snow Mountain! Just checked out! Highly recommend this scenic view hotel!!! This is my second visit to Meili Snow Mountain. Last time I stayed at the Scenic Paradise Hotel, so I had the contact information of the proprietress. Their hotel has the highest viewing position among all the hotels in Feilai Temple. For details, you can check my previous notes. This time I found that their new hotel has been renovated!! So I chose to check in directly to their new hotel. Let me talk about the basic situation of the new hotel. The hotel is still in the process of perfecting details. The style of the hotel is somewhat similar to that of the Four Seasons. Overall, I think it is more youthful, comfortable, and features a natural wood style. The rooms have diffuse oxygen supply, which most hotels in Feilai Temple do not offer. This is also an advantage of the new hotel. Another thing is that their underfloor heating is really too good... At night, it heated us up so much that we had to turn off the heating. The most comfortable part is the view outside the window, which is simply too stunning!! Their hotel is already situated quite high, so the rooms still have an unobstructed view of the entire snow mountain panorama. The key is that each room comes with a private small balcony!!! In the afternoon, the boss even brought us afternoon tea. Having afternoon tea on the balcony while admiring Meili Snow Mountain up close is just too beautiful. Therefore, I suggest that everyone should try to arrive at Meili Snow Mountain earlier to enjoy the unique beauty of the sunset over the snow-capped mountains!

    The essence of love

    Traveler The correct way to view snow-capped mountains is through time-lapse aerial photography of the Meili Snow Mountain, where the clouds and mist around the mountain create an intoxicating and romantic atmosphere. During the two days at Meili Snow Mountain, the posture of viewing the snow-capped mountains in time-lapse was adopted at Feilai Temple, at the Kawagebo Peak viewing platform, and from the balcony of the room in the high mountain villa. The clouds surged, and Meili Snow Mountain is one of the three sacred mountains in the Tibetan area, with Kawagebo Peak being the foremost of the eight sacred mountains. Meili Snow Mountain features different peaks, glaciers, canyons, villages, and the 'Golden Mountain' bathed in sunrise. Playing the guitar at the Kawagebo viewing platform, or lying in a bath watching the snow-capped mountains from the room in the high mountain villa, is incredibly comfortable. Using drone footage and time-lapse photography on a smartphone to capture Meili Snow Mountain, one should check the weather in advance when planning a visit. The mountain is often shrouded in clouds and mist, and the opportunity to see the 'Golden Mountain' at sunrise occurs only about 30 days a year, as the morning slowly unveils its shy veil. It's magical, it's dreamy. Self-driving with music for an in-depth exploration of Yunnan, we encountered each other on the journey.

    Life is like the sea｜Mountains and Rivers "Shangri-La Travel Plan".

    In the northwest of Yunnan☁️, at the junction of Yunnan, Sichuan, and Tibet, there is a paradise lost in the world, which is Shangri-La. There are sacred snow-capped mountains🏔️, tranquil villages, deep gorges, dense primeval forests🌲, and lush alpine meadows. Shangri-La means "the sun and moon in the heart" in Tibetan. The beauty here is beyond words. Attractions 📷 🏔️Meili Snow Mountain Meili Snow Mountain, also known as the Prince of Snow Mountains, is the highest peak in Yunnan. When the sun shines on the mountain, the clouds roll, and the first ray of dawn illuminates Meili🌄, with rays of light descending from the sky, shining on the snow-capped peaks. Under the blue sky, the white majestic snow mountains and the blue gentle lakes, the vast forest sea, and the boundless grasslands bring a strong visual impact both in feeling and color🌈. 🪵Songzanlin Monastery Songzanlin Monastery is known as the "Little Potala Palace". The entire monastery is built in the layout of the Potala Palace in Lhasa, built according to the mountain⛰️. The monastery houses eight gilded Shakyamuni statues from the fifth and seventh Dalai Lama periods, palm-leaf scriptures, five-color gold-painted Thangkas, golden lamps, etc. It offers a spiritual cleansing experience in Yunnan. 🐎Yila Grassland Napa Lake•Yila Grassland, meaning "the lake behind the forest🌲" in Tibetan. In winter, it is a pool of clear water, and in summer, it becomes a fertile grassland, showcasing different beauties throughout the seasons. On a sunny day, Napa Lake reflects the blue sky🌿, large clouds, and layered mountains in the lake, creating a romantic scene in every frame. 🚶Yubeng Village Walking through dense primeval forests, encountering mushrooms🍄, squirrels🐿️, cattle, and sheep🐑 in the green mountains, crossing streams, and step by step reaching the snow-capped mountains and the sacred waterfall, this is a place longed for by hiking enthusiasts, known as the "hiker's paradise". 🐯Tiger Leaping Gorge One of National Geographic's top ten hiking routes, hiking here backs against Haba Snow Mountain🏔️, overlooking Jade Dragon Snow Mountain🏔️ across the river from the mountainside. The almost vertical cliff below is the roaring Jinsha River. The thrilling section almost walks along the edge of the cliff🧗‍♀️, feeling the charm and thrill of nature🤫. Alpine meadows🌲, tropical forests🪵, and exposed rocks, one must visit Tiger Leaping Gorge once in a lifetime to truly experience the high mountains⛰️ and gorges.

    Shangri-La is a paradise on earth, no less stunning than Daocheng Yading

    📍Ganden Sumtseling Monastery Ganden Sumtseling Monastery is the largest Tibetan Buddhist monastery in Yunnan Province and one of the most famous large monasteries in the Kham area. It holds a pivotal position throughout the Tibetan region and is known as the 'Little Potala Palace'. The monastery is built against a mountain and resembles an ancient castle, embodying the pinnacle of Tibetan architectural art, and is also referred to as the 'Tibetan Art Museum'. (‼The biggest 'pitfall' of Sumtseling Monastery is actually the ticket. Both online tickets and self-service ticket machines sell only one type of combo ticket for 90 yuan per person, which includes the temple admission of 55 yuan, round-trip sightseeing car for 20 yuan, and a guide fee of 15 yuan, but in fact, at the manual counter, you can buy them separately. Personal suggestion‼️) 📍Meili Snow Mountain: In the movie 'Paths of the Soul', Xiaochuan says: Meili Snow Mountain is made of 175 milliliters of milk mixed with 250 milliliters of fresh cream, and finally, two spoons of white sugar are added to make a huge ice cream. Meili Snow Mountain, a romantic, mysterious, and magnificent place. ‼️A strong recommendation, you must see the 'Golden Sunrise' over Meili Snow Mountain at least once. The feeling at that moment is unimaginable from pictures and videos. It is said that out of 365 days a year, only 40 days can witness the 'Golden Sunrise', and seeing it can bring you luck for the whole year! 📍Bottomless Lake: Shangri-La translates to 'the sun and moon in one's heart', a place with few people, niche beauty, and stunning scenery. As soon as you get off the car, you are healed by the clear and bright mountain forests and lakes, and the scent of the forest hits you. Nearby is a meadow full of yellow flowers🌼 and leisurely cattle and sheep🐑 (In the distance, there are layers of rich forests 🌲 and mountain peaks that appear and disappear among the clouds and fog ⛰️
