    Highlights: Yubeng Village, a Tibetan village at the foot of the Goddess Peak of the Meri Snow Mountain, is divided into two villages that are close to each other. Yubeng Village is situated deep in the mountains, away from the markets and towns. There is little transport but the folk customs are simple and honest. Therefore, it is known as the epitome of true Shangri-La. The waterfall on the hill next to Yubeng Village has always been a holy place of pilgrimage for Tibetan Buddhists, and it is also a must to pass through the Meri Snow Mountain.

    "Meili Snow Mountain | I finally saw Rizhao Jinshan. It is worth saying that I will be lucky to see Rizhao Jinshan for a whole year. We are lucky enough this time. I finally saw the Rizhao Jinshan of Meili Snow Mountain. I hope this luck can also be passed on to you ❤️.🏔️🌄 Rizhao Jinshan is in a high altitude snow mountain. A rare natural landscape, the sun shines on the top of the snowy mountain at sunrise, exuding a dazzling golden light. . I have seen the snowy mountains in many places, and I am also fortunate to have seen the sunshine of the golden mountain. Every time I see it, I feel different. So if you have the opportunity, you must go to see the sunshine of the Meili Snow Mountain Jinshan, see this shocking Meili 13 Peaks, the scene to see far more shock than the picture. ◾️ The best viewing place to see Meili Snow Mountain Rizhao Jinshan is Feilai Temple. This time, we also stayed at Feilai Temple for two nights, and the purpose was to see the glory of Rizhao Jinshan. ◾️ I remember that we got up early that day. When we arrived at the hotel observation deck, we were very excited. We watched the time pass by one minute and one second. Finally at 7:30, the first ray of sunshine in the morning was spilled on the Meili Snow Mountain, and it was rendered from the top of the mountain until the whole mountain was golden. That spectacle really can't be expressed in words, and at that moment I thought we were all lucky.. 𝓣𝓲𝓹𝓼🌈 [How to reach Meili Snow Mountain] Meili Snow Mountain is located in Deqin County, Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province. You can fly to Lijiang or Shangri-La, and then rent a car to drive or carpool/charter to arrive. 🌈 [Best Watching Season] From late October to March of the following year, non-rainy season, you must see the weather forecast before going, the weather forecast shows that the weather will be sunny again, so that the probability of seeing Rizhao Jinshan is higher. 🌈 [Location of watching Rizhao Jinshan] ◾️ Mist-top observation deck, overlooking Meili from a distance, and the 13 peaks. ◾️ Feilai Temple Scenic Area, close to Meili, shocking. ◾️ The roof or some rooms of various hotels and guest houses can also be seen. It is also a kind of happiness to think about lying in bed and watching the snow-capped mountains. (We took it at the hotel we stayed at this time, and the view is also very good.) ◾️ The sunshine Jinshan time in autumn and winter is about 7:30, and the period lasts about 10 seconds. You can reach the viewing attraction in advance to find a suitable seat. ◾️ If you have enough time and physical strength, you can also walk on the rain and collapse. If the weather is sunny, you can see Rizhao Jinshan up close. .🌈 Look at Rizhao Jinshan, how many people have a dream for the rest of their lives. I hope you can one day, not far away, witness this dazzling moment."

    "The scenery is so good, it is the rugged mountain road on the way. Just at the foot of Kawagbo Peak, physical strength is required. The air is very good, pay attention to the falling stones, there are squirrels, the plank road is well repaired, and there is a scenic shuttle bus that must be taken."

    "Comprehensive review of the foggy top observation deck and foggy top village: First of all, the foggy top is Tibetan. This area is especially foggy in summer. It is really big, but it is not literal in Chinese. The original meaning is: "Where the Buddha was born". 1. The foggy top observation deck 1. The scenery: do not lose the Feilai Temple observation deck. The Feilai Temple Observation Deck is closer to the snow-capped mountains. You can only see some peaks (including the main peaks) of the snow-capped mountains. The fog-top observation deck can see the panoramic view of the 13 peaks of Meili, and you can also see the Baima Snow Mountain and the 13 White Tower. The fog-top 13 White Tower is a sceneing location for the movie "Fanghua". The valley below is the county valley (the tributary of the Lancang River). 2. Fun: Here is to see the snow-capped mountains, the difference is not big, but the Feilai Temple has more life, and it is a small town scale. There are often RVs camping on the platform. 3. Cost-effective: 🌟 Fee: No charge for the foggy top (may be the construction of a new hotel next to it), but Feilai Temple charges 40 yuan/person. 🌟 Landscape: Fog thick top > Feilai Temple (almost) 🌟 Accommodation: Feilai Temple area has more choice of hotels with different price levels in the high-end with high-end mountain biezhuang. The fog top currently has: both down the mountain, house price 2000-6888. Runjing, house price 800-2000 yuan. Debris Wuxiang, 800-2000 yuan. It is estimated that the berth will be opened in 2023. The house price is estimated to be similar to that of the two down the mountain. In addition, the night view of Deqin County is also worth seeing. There is an open county viewing platform near the foggy top. The weather is clear and you can see the faint snow-capped mountains and the Langlang starry sky. But don't be too late, and you must travel many people (at night, especially in the early morning, there may be small animals on the mountain). Second, Wunongding Village is the best preserved traditional Tibetan-style structure village in Deqin County. A total of 22 households, most of them are still clay structures, and the folk customs are simple, warm and friendly. The hotel can organize a free walk to the village to learn about the customs of the Tibetan village, and you can also visit the old Tibetan house. I don't know if other hotels have this project. If there is a "guide" with it, it is still very interesting."

    Highlights: The Wunongding Viewing Platform is also called the 13th White Tower welcoming platform. The hospitable Deqin people built the Meri 13 Welcome Tower here, representing the 13 peaks of Meri, and the 13 neat white towers and Meri 10 Three snow peaks are far away. Known for its location in the village of Wujingding, the Wunongding Viewing Platform is a good location to take a panoramic view of the Meili Snow Mountain. The Meili Snow Mountain seen here is more atmospheric and has a rich shooting prospect.
