Not Switzerland! I found a fairy tale secret place in Yunnan. I've been to Yunnan n times.

Not Switzerland! I found a fairy tale secret place in Yunnan. I've been to Yunnan n times, and finally went to Xueda Lake, which I've wanted to visit for a long time. This is the only place in Shangri-La where you can see the reflection of Meili Snow Mountain and the golden mountain at sunrise. There are very few tourists, and it's a beautiful secret place hidden in the mountains. How to get there? Navigate directly to Shuoda Village. Route: Shangri-La - Benzilan - Deqin County - Foshan Township - Shuoda Village, about 250 km, 5 hours. The whole journey is on paved roads. The hardest part is the 50-minute drive up the mountain. Although it's a cement road, the winding and narrow roads are still challenging. New drivers should not try it easily. Accommodation Stay in Shuoda Village. If you want to see the golden mountain at sunrise, it's recommended to stay in Shuoda Village. Although it's a small village, the accommodation is still good. Cost: about 600 Stay in Foshan Township. If you don't want to see the golden mountain at sunrise, you can stay at the foot of the mountain, which is Foshan Township. Cost: 100–200 Travel time The weather is stable in autumn and winter, and the chance of seeing snow-capped mountains is higher. The trees have also turned yellow recently, so you can take pictures of both the snow-capped mountains and the autumn scenery. The yellow trees are expected to last until November, so hurry up!

Is this a paradise? It hides the most beautiful snow-capped mountains and sacred lakes.

Guide to Xueda Lake and Meili Snow Mountain This is the best paradise! Attraction Introduction Shangri-La has a Tibetan village called Shuoda Village, which is like a paradise. There are only a dozen households here. The villagers raise cattle and farm, living a peaceful and simple life. There is also a beautiful lake in the village called Xueda Lake. It is the only place in Shangri-La where you can see the reflection of the 13 peaks of Meili Snow Mountain. Here, you can enjoy the magnificent sunrise and the beautiful sunset. Food In Shangri-La, you can taste butter tea, which is rich in milk and tea flavor, warming and delicious. There is also yak meat, which is firm and chewy, with a unique flavor whether stewed or roasted. In addition, Tibetan yogurt is also a must-try delicacy, with a thick texture and a moderate sweet and sour taste. Attractions 1. Xueda Lake: Located on the top of the mountain, with a wide view, you can see the 13 peaks of Meili Snow Mountain, which is an excellent place to view the snow-capped mountains. Don't miss the sunrise in the morning. The first ray of sunlight shines on Meili Snow Mountain, and the white mountain top is covered with a warm and bright veil, which is beautiful. You can also see the reflection of the Meili peaks from the calm lake, as if the world is in it, giving you double the beauty. 2. Shuoda Village: Experience the quiet life of a Tibetan village and the simple folk customs. Tips 1. Transportation: Depart from Shangri-La, pass through Benzilan, Deqin County, and Foshan Township to Shuoda Village, about 250 km in total, 5 hours by car. The whole journey is on asphalt roads, and the road conditions are good, but the road from Foshan Township to Shuoda Village is narrow, with continuous uphill curves, high terrain, steep cliffs on the outside, and the Lancang River below. New drivers should not try it. Shuoda Village is relatively remote, and public transportation is not easy to reach. Self-driving or chartering a car is more convenient. 2. Accommodation: You can choose to stay in Shuoda Village. Each family has guest rooms, and the price is about CNY 600 or more. You can also stay in Foshan Township, where there are accommodations and restaurants, but the conditions are average, and the price is about CNY 100. 3. Travel time: In autumn and winter, the weather is good, and the probability of seeing Meili Snow Mountain is high. You can watch the sunrise from 7–8 am. At around 10 am, the wind blows, and the ripples on the lake make the reflection less beautiful. 4. Travel tips: Bring a telephoto camera for better photos. It is cold in the morning and evening, so remember to bring a thick coat, hat, gloves, etc. It is very sunny here, so sunscreen is a must. The mountain road is rugged, so prepare motion sickness patches. Remember to close the door when entering and leaving the village, and take your trash with you when you leave.

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.

Sunrise on the Golden Mountain, a lucky appointment.

In November, I set foot on the mysterious land of Shangri-La, just to chase the dreamlike sunrise on the Golden Mountain. At the foot of Meili Snow Mountain, with awe and anticipation, I hiked for a long time, through the biting cold wind, and finally witnessed the breathtakingly beautiful moment. The sun shone on the top of the snow mountain, and the golden light was like a god descending, sacred and solemn, as if time stood still. I can't wait to pass on this shock and good luck to you. May this auspiciousness from Meili Snow Mountain cross the screen, dispel the haze for you, and bring you a whole year of luck and beauty.

It's truly a hidden gem. ⛺【Travel Tips】: Yubeng is located at the foot of Meili Snow Mountain in Deqin County, Diqing Prefecture, Yunnan Province.

Mingyong Glacier and some scattered photos.

📍Mingyong Glacier and some scattered photos|||After reading the book about Meili Snow Mountain written by Lin Shangli and Guo Jing, I was eager to see the place where the bodies of 17 members of the China-Japan joint mountaineering team were buried. Unfortunately, the body of a Japanese team doctor (Shimizu Nagano) has not been found yet. I hope it will be found soon to give Mingyong Village a clean slate. The existence of Mingyong Glacier is a miracle in itself. As the main glacier of Kawagebo, it is the southernmost, lowest, and fastest modern glacier in China. However, with global warming, the glacier is melting at a rate of nearly 60 meters per year. Along the boardwalk of the scenic area, you can hear the sound of the glacier collapsing. In good weather, you can also see the main peak of Meili, Kawagebo. The scenic area is very mature, with boardwalks throughout. The phone can only capture one ten-thousandth of its beauty. The Tibetan compatriots burning incense and praying, the Prince Temple, the sound of bells from the Lotus Temple, and the scene of smoke curling up all make people deeply feel the mystery and uniqueness of this land. Sometimes I really think it is good to leave some places untouched by humans.

Things about Meili Snow Mountain in Shangri-La that tourists don't know...

I'm so lazy, but I finally decided to write a guide to Shangri-La! Keep these tips in mind! (After coming down from Meili, I heard from other tourists that a car went up the mountain in the early morning two days ago, rolled down the mountain, and everyone died 😭😭😭 So scary. I also went up the mountain at 3 am.) I was scared when I thought about it! - About Shangri-La: Drive to Shangri-La Ancient Town in the afternoon (visit the ancient town and eat delicious food). Drive to Feilai Temple at 3 am the next day to see Meili Snow Mountain. Go down the mountain at 2 pm (check in at Napa Sea and take photos). Return on the third day. 1⃣️ ⬆️Meili Snow Mountain It's actually quite dangerous to go up the mountain in the early morning. 150 km, 4 hours on the road. Most carpooling costs CNY 160 per person (9–11 people). We were lucky to get a ride with a guy driving an Audi, 4 seats. Since I just heard about the car rolling down the mountain, I still recommend that you go up the mountain during the day and stay at Feilai Temple for safety. If you really want to see the beautiful scenery, talk to the driver more when you take the car in the early morning to avoid the driver dozing off! 2⃣️ About the itinerary I drove from Lijiang to Shangri-La (the scenery along the way is beautiful). If you have enough time, you can drive and pass by Tiger Leaping Gorge (if you have time, you must hike once). Homestays are very cheap in the off-season! CNY 200–300 The homestays near Napa Sea have great views, but they are remote and difficult to get to. Food: The prices are very affordable, CNY 80 per person. Yak meat hot pot is about CNY 100, with a lot of meat! The soup is super fresh! Total: Excluding transportation, 3 days, about CNY 600 per person.

Shangri-La | Originated from the Lost Horizon.

The word "Shangri-La" originated from the novel "Lost Horizon" by British writer James Hilton. It is a place of eternal peace and tranquility located in the mountains of the East. 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. When flying over Shangri-La, you will find from a bird's-eye view that the Nu River, Lancang River and Jinsha River form a graceful "chuan" (川), and Gaoligong Mountain, Biluo Snow Mountain and Yunling form a bold and rough "chuan" (川). 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.

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.
