Black Lake - Haba Snow Mountain
Getting There - Haba village is just beyond the Tiger Leaping Gorge, about an hour drive. The village is a good base for climbing Haba Snow Mountain.
In high season I was told there is a bus near Tina's Guesthouse in Tiger Leaping Gorge; however, this isn't a reliable option. Instead, Tina can help arrange a shared taxi that will cost 50 RMB per person, one-way.
Hotels - There are a few in Haba Village to choose from as well as others in the road to the scenic area. Camping in the park is an option.
If staying in Haba Village, an hour car ride to the scenic area, its highly recommended to stay at Snow Mountain Climbing Inn.
The owner and his family are extremely helpful and gracious. Food is amazing and they can help arrange transportation, a guide, and horse when trekking.
The owner of the hotel is building luxury tents on the trail for overnight stays. The accommodating includes food and horse for 1280 per person. To just hire a horse and guide us 300 RMB per day. Share the horse as needed if in a group.
Attractions - The hike to Black Lake is long and difficult, especially in rainy conditions, much of the trail is exposed at high elevations, over 4300 meters near the end of the trail before descending to 4200 meters down to the lake. .
As mentioned, you can hire a mule to complete the hike or go on your own. A guide would be helpful so the horse isn't a bad option, but if to have map downloaded from AllTrails or another site it would be invaluable. Otherwise follow the many cairns and red flags on the trees while using your intuition to lead the way.
The out and back trail gradually climbs nearly 1200 meters in 6 miles, roughly 12 miles total, with some areas very steep, rocky, and slippery. On some occasions you will cross small streams and will get wet.
It's possible it will rain and become cooler as you gain elevation so bring layers. Other than a currently being constructed glamping test site, there is no good along the way, so bring provisions.
Overall this is a very rewarding, and scenic hike, but challenging for most. You must acclimatize a few days to a week before attempting this hike to avoid altitude sickness. Many people purchase oxygen tanks.
Once you ascend to the highest point, traversing a steep rock field through a small stream, you'll come to an open grassy area overlooking the Black Lake below. You could end your adventure here and camp for the night, get a nice view and return, or descend to the lake and camp, or get a closer look before returning.
If making this a multiday trek with the intention of ascending Mt. Haba, this would be the ideal location for camping, and spending an extra day acclimatizing and exploring the area.
This is a much lesser traveled area and makes it more pristine, as well as rewarding. The views and trail are spectacular and challenging, but worth the effort.

🔥 Attraction Recommendations
📍Potatso National Park
China's first national park, the place of Serteng revival, "Potatso" in Tibetan means to ferry all living beings to the other shore of suffering.
📍Baishuitai
China's version of "Cotton Castle," where the azure spring water💧 flows over naturally formed limestone terraces, Baishuitai is a natural wonder formed by the dissolution of calcium carbonate in the spring water. The spring water, containing calcium bicarbonate, flows slowly, and carbonates gradually precipitate, forming terraces over the years, resembling layered terraces.
📍Songzanlin Monastery
The largest Tibetan Buddhist monastery in the world, known as the "Little Potala Palace." It houses a large number of Buddhist relics and classic architecture.
📍Tiger Leaping Gorge
One of China's deepest gorges, hidden at the junction of Shangri-La and Lijiang, with Jade Dragon Snow Mountain on one side and Haba Snow Mountain on the other. During the rainy season from May to September, the river water rises rapidly, which is quite spectacular.
📍Dukezong Ancient Town
Known as the "Moonlight City Castle built on stone," it still retains the world's largest and highest prayer wheel, where you can walk clockwise around the prayer wheel three times.

Napa Lake is not a sea but a seasonal highland lake, with Shangri-La's largest grassland, tranquil lakes, and majestic mountains, horses and lambs, and Tibetan dress photography is very photogenic📸.
📍Meili Snow Mountain Gang
Meili Snow Mountain is very close to Shangri-La, with the 'golden pagoda'-shaped main peak of Meili - Kawagebo Peak, the thirteen peaks of Meili, located at the confluence of the Jinsha River, Lancang River, and Nu River. It is said that those who see the sun shining on the golden mountain at Meili Snow Mountain will be lucky for the whole year, and the best season is autumn and winter. The Wunongding viewing platform is the best position to capture the panoramic view of Meili Snow Mountain.
📍Liangbeng
A place yearned for by many hiking enthusiasts, known as "hiking paradise." The last village in China to be electrified, Liangbeng is located at the foot of Meili Snow Mountain, and the sun shining on the golden mountain seen from Liangbeng village has a unique angle.
⚠️When entering Songzanlin Monastery, a Buddhist holy site, be sure to pay attention to your attire when visiting inside; do not wear short skirts, shorts, or sleeveless backless clothes. Photography is not allowed inside the hall, and remember to take off hats and sunglasses to respect local customs and culture.
🔥 Shangri-La Specialty Cuisine
🌟 Zongka Tibetan Meal
The yak meat hot pot ingredients are really good and delicious, very tender! The yak pizza amazed me, with a crispy crust and a very fragrant filling.

🥩 Yak meat buns: Their buns are super delicious!!! With large chunks of yak meat paired with green pepper filling, the presence of green pepper perfectly cuts through the richness, making it easy and burden-free to eat, really super fragrant.

Annual inventory of the most recommended attractions for everyone | Haba Snow Mountain
| Haba Snow Mountain.🏡City: Yunnan
📍Location: Diqing Haba Snow Mountain
✨Features: ⛰The scenery of Haba Snow Mountain is very good and there are hiking routes on the west slope and the Black Sea loop.
🦌Hiking route:
Day1 Haibalo-Double Lake Camp (camping)|It is recommended to camp at Jieshanerju, which is a campsite before Double Lake Camp. The scenery here is easier to see. The scenery of Double Lake Camp depends on luck. The lake water is relatively dirty, so it is recommended to bring enough water. The water source about a hundred meters above the Double Lake Camp is relatively clean.
Day2 Double Lake Camp-Haba Snow Mountain Base Camp (camping)|Cross two passes, pass the Black Sea, and the scenery along the way is good.
Day3 Base Camp-Summit-Pasture Camp (camping)|You need to book a guide in advance for the summit, as well as the necessary mountaineering equipment, or rent it at the base camp. Anyway, I just used two mountaineering sticks and my own small ice claws to reach the top. There is no water in the small pasture, and there is a pair of old people living in the large pasture with a water source.
Day4 Pasture Camp-Haba Commune (accommodation and replenishment)|The commune is very close to the pasture, you can check in at noon, and the exit of the mountain is Haba Commune, which is very close. It is recommended to live here. There is a small shop just opened in the village, it is recommended to buy supplies here, the price is relatively reasonable, the inn is too expensive. The small shop only sells some noodles and bread.
Day5 Haba Commune-Forest Camp (camping)|It takes more than an hour to reach the campsite, there is water nearby, and the journey on the fourth and fifth days is relatively short, so there is more time to rest and recharge.
Day6 Forest Camp-Black Sea (camping)|When you reach the pasture, pay attention to the track. We made a mistake on a mountain top and cut it back. It was very difficult to walk.
Day7 Black Sea-West Slope Base Camp Pass-Haibalo (out of the mountain)
·
✨Reminder:
1️⃣Long-distance hiking, many people ask us how to recharge, we have two power banks, a small solar panel, you can charge the power bank with the solar panel on the way, so you can ensure that there is enough power to use.
2️⃣Be careful when hiking with a dog and encountering yaks. Yaks may not necessarily attack people, but they will definitely attack dogs. We encountered two yaks attacking Abu on the road. It's better to lead them, observe the movement of yaks from a distance, drive people away, and don't let dogs chase.

How many moments like this can one experience in a lifetime
How many times can one be moved by such moments in a lifetime? 😭|||Before setting off, my friends may not understand me.
I embarked on a journey spanning 2000 kilometers, traversed high altitudes, and hiked for an entire day. All for a single tree🌲, just to feel those moments known as the beauty of life.
Without any surprises, I set off alone again. Flying to Lijiang, I shared a ride to Haba Village the day before to stay overnight. The next morning, I started the trek into the mountains with a guide.
Along the way, 🌞the weather alternated between sunny and overcast. As we went deeper into the mountains, the light rain gradually turned into moderate rain.
When I arrived under that solitary tree, it was a stormy downpour. I asked the guide to return to the camp first, and I stayed under the tree for several hours. After taking photos, I gazed at it quietly for a long time.
Back at the camp that night, a torrential rain began, accompanied by hail. Also, due to altitude sickness, I couldn't sleep all night. The next morning, in a daze, I saw a faint yellow tint on the horizon. Suddenly energized, I braved the cold wind on the mountaintop and was super lucky to witness the sunrise over Haba Snow Mountain. 🌅
Standing midway up the mountain, I had a panoramic view of the sunrise over Haba Snow Mountain and the Black Sea. There was also that lonely tree, and the experiences of heading to the base camp the next day, and successfully summiting Haba Snow Mountain in bad weather on the third day...🏔️🏔️
I recorded all the experiences of this journey for a long time afterward. Looking at the photos today and recalling the memories, I feel an even deeper understanding of the true meaning of setting off.
📍Location: Haba Snow Mountain—Black Sea, Yunnan. The period around National Day each year is the best season to enjoy the autumn scenery at Haba Snow Mountain. To see the famous tree at Black Sea, you can follow outdoor trails or find a leader in Haba Village to guide you. Both horse riding and hiking are possible.
After checking in at the famous tree at Black Sea, be sure to walk to the mountainside next to it to overlook the Black Sea, it's truly incomparably beautiful.
【Transportation】: Fly to Lijiang Airport—You can choose to share a ride or hire a private car to Haba Village, then hike for about 5 hours to reach Black Sea.

Hello everyone, I am a galloping wanderer who has been on the road. This is my third year of rushing to the mountains and seas and love. In a blink of an eye, the year is almost over. Looking back at the past 2023, I realized that I have walked so many places alone. Today I want to sort out a list of the 'most beautiful hiking places' Top12 in my heart. If you don't know where to play in 2024, you might as well refer to my notes.
First, let's look at Figure 1️⃣, Hainan Baoting—Qixianling Hot Spring National Forest Park. This place may not be widely known, but the view from the top of the mountain is unique. Here, you can enjoy the magnificent natural scenery and the soothing enjoyment of hot springs.

Haba Snow Mountain Trip
1️⃣A less-known secret place, more primitive than Yubeng
The barrier lake deep in Haba Snow Mountain, Heihu Lake, is like a green gem embedded in the mountains.
As it is a national designated natural ecological protection area, no commercial development is allowed, and it is very primitive.
Our guide said that this is a high-altitude lake known only to locals, more primitive than Yubeng, more beautiful than Abujicuo, and almost no tourists can be seen except for a few heavy-duty outdoor walkers.
2️⃣The legendary wishing tree is here
Heihu Lake is a sacred lake of the Naxi people, and the fiery red sacred tree stands alone
🍁The guide introduced that if you make a wish under the crown of the sacred tree, it will come true
It only turns completely red for a short ten days a year, and I was lucky to catch up
3️⃣Watch the sunrise on the golden mountain, it is the best viewing position
Heihu Lake is the only place where you can see the full view of Haba Snow Mountain, the reflection in the lake, and the sunrise on the golden mountain
🌄When you wake up in the morning and go out, you can see the sunrise on the golden mountain, which is extremely beautiful in a short time
In the morning, I saw clouds drifting over Haba Snow Mountain, and the clear reflection of the snow mountain in the lake was very shocking!
⏰My itinerary:
Day1
From Haba Village to Heihu Lake Camp (8.5km), stay overnight at Heihu Lake
Passing through Dela Ranch and Orchid Flat, there are alpine meadows, lakes and streams, and primitive forests along the way, and the scenery is changeable
Day2
👉🏻Get up early, watch the sunrise on the golden mountain and the reflection in Haba Lake
The snow mountain that I have to climb the next day stands in front of me, and the awe that is unspeakable
👉🏻In the morning, go to see the fiery red sacred tree
I made a very devout wish under the sacred tree, got close to Heihu Lake, and under the sun, Heihu Lake had turned from the pitch black of the previous day to a clear gem green
👉🏻At noon, set off for the snow mountain base camp, arrive at dinner time
🍃Hiking Tips:
🤍The sacred tree is very seasonal, if you want to witness the full red, the best season is around mid-October after the National Day every year
🤍The temperature difference between day and night is large, and the weather is changeable. We had a sunny day in the early stage, a small part of the rainy day in the middle, and a waterproof hard shell is the best choice for a storm jacket. In addition, mountain climbing shoes must be waterproof, and many of the hiking routes pass through streams and rain-soaked lawns
ARIANNA NEAL
There is a tent hotel opposite Haba Snow Mountain. It is like a fairyland, and I have an appointment with friends to get a card.
[Room rate]
small tent 1500 one night
large tent 1800 one night
size tents are all facing the snowy mountains, with independent balcony, the scenery is very good. The
community area has a swimming pool and a photo platform for the sun.
[Address]
Haba Village, Shangri-La County, Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture
[Transportation]
Automobile or car rental:
About 4 hours drive from Lijiang. The road conditions are not very good and there are more bends.
It is not recommended to take this road during the rainy season. I feel that there are many rockfall areas along the way.
The way to go through the Tiger Leaping Gorge area, you need to buy tickets for 45 yuan / person, in the summer you can go to the scenic area to walk around.
chartered:
Shangri-La-Lijiang Airport, the hotel helps to book 800 yuan one way, you can also find your own car, the price will be cheaper.
Bus:
Take the bus from Lijiang to Baishuitai, the fare is about 30 yuan, and you can get off at the Haba Village tent hotel.
[Dining]
Meals need to go to Haba Village. The chicken hot pot and stir-fry in the town are good. It is recommended to have more snacks.
