"The south bank of the Tiger Leaping Gorge Scenic Area is the Yulong Snow Mountain. The main peak is up to 5596 meters above sea level, and the north bank Haba Snow Mountain is 5396 meters above sea level. Due to the tight constraints of the mountains on both sides of the Straits, the river is only more than 50 meters wide after entering the Gorge. The narrowest place is the tiger leopard leaping over, so it is called the Tiger Leaping Gorge. The canyon is 80 kilometers away from the downtown area of Lijiang City. The canyon is upstream of the Jinsha River. It is 17 kilometers long and 25 kilometers on the roundabout road. The vertical height difference of the canyon is more than 3,900 meters. It is one of the deepest canyons in the world. Due to the landslide, the current boulders have been left, resulting in more rough water. It is divided into three sections: upper tiger jump, middle tiger jump, and lower tiger jump. The main scenic spot of Tiger Leaping Gorge is upper tiger jump. Lijiang (and Shangri-La) passenger terminals have buses to the scenic spot for two hours. The scenic spot can be played in about 1 hour, and the steps can be down to the canyon in more than ten minutes. The tiger jumping scenic spot, the passage of the Jinsha River is very powerful. The bus can also go to the Tiger Jump on the way, but the Tiger Jump is a hiking route, not a scenic spot, half an hour from the Zhang teacher inn to the canyon, and then climb up for 1.5 hours (or the 168-level ladder climbs up faster), this route will be a bit tired, the scenery is worse than the Tiger Jump, the river is not so powerful."

"The homestay is clean and tidy with complete facilities. The breakfast is full. The boss family is kind and caring, and feels at home. Very close to Pudacuo. I will stay here later."

"Buy tickets for Songzanlin Temple on Ctrip.com, including tickets, round-trip transportation, explanation, 90 yuan/person. The parking lot at the entrance of the scenic spot is relatively large, parking is convenient, the temple is built on the mountain, and the momentum is like a rainbow. When I went there, the lake under the mountain was surrounded by fences. It should be repaired."

"Balagezong was super breathtaking. I felt like being in ancient Chinese era like in wuxia movies. Unfortunately, I went there on the cloudy day, and I thought it would have been more beautiful. It is a gorgeous nature-created place. Must visit once."

"The ancient city of Dukezong is the best preserved and largest Tibetan settlement in China. Tang (AD 676-679), Tuyu here set up a Zhaibao on the top of the big turtle mountain, named "Dukezong", a Tibetan pronunciation contains two meanings, one is "castle built on stone", and the other is "moonlight city". For the horse gangs who cross the ancient tea horse road, Dukezong Ancient City is a heavy town on the ancient tea horse road, and the first stop after the horse gang entered Tibet. The most worth seeing in the ancient city is the Big Buddha Temple and the prayer wheel. The Big Buddha Temple on Guishan Mountain was built during the Qing Kangxi period. The prayer wheel was built in 2002 and is the world's largest prayer wheel. The prayer wheel is an iconic building built to commemorate Zhongdian's renamed Shangri-La. The current ancient city is similar to the ancient city of Lijiang and Dali. It is a store mainly for inns, restaurants, shops and travel photography."

"You need to take an off-road vehicle to enter and exit the rain and collapse. It is true that the mountain road is very difficult to walk, but the charge is really too expensive! Such an expensive price should include tickets, but tickets have to be re-buy. The scenery is OK, it is raining during the rainy season. Hotel accommodation is reasonable, the local Zhuoma family's food is delicious, the people are very good!"

"The scenic spot is not big, the scenery is beautiful, friends say it is like Turkey. The aunts selling water in the scenic spot are very warm and friendly, and take the initiative to help guide the way and introduce how to play. It’s just entering the scenic spot, the horse help tastes great, I hope it can be improved."

"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.

I hope you can one day, not far away, witness this dazzling moment."
