If you don't go to heaven, go to Yubeng. This was the conclusion of hiking enthusiasts more than a decade ago about Yubeng Village in Diqing, Yunnan. Trekking in the highland forests is both a challenge and a pleasure. It's really enjoyable to go trekking in Yubeng with a few good friends. What are the things to pay attention to and the budget considerations? 1. Itinerary: Yubeng Village is quite large, with three mature trekking routes: the Ice Lake route, the Sacred Waterfall route, and the Nylam route. The most challenging is undoubtedly the Ice Lake route. It is recommended to stay overnight in lower Yubeng, rest, and then start trekking after watching the sunrise the next morning. The easiest route might be the Sacred Waterfall route, which has already been well developed. 2. Ticket budget: The current ticket price for Yubeng Village is 70 yuan, with ticket offices at the entrance of the village. Currently, tickets cannot be purchased online and must be bought on-site, but non-cash payments are supported. There are off-road vehicles from the entrance to upper Yubeng for 200 yuan per person, and from upper to lower Yubeng for 260 yuan per person. It is recommended to go just to upper Yubeng, as the stations for upper and lower Yubeng are very close to each other, and there's no need to waste an extra 60 yuan. The budget for tickets is 70 + 200×2 = 470 yuan. 3. Accommodation budget: Both upper and lower Yubeng Village have a considerable number of guesthouses. Although recent commercial development has taken away some of the original ecological charm, the accommodation conditions have improved a lot. The average cost for a standard guesthouse is around 300 yuan, while high-end homestays average about 800 yuan. The guesthouse where I stayed, which had a view, was an economical type costing 350 yuan per night. However, ordinary guesthouses in Yubeng do not provide toiletries and toothbrushes, which must be purchased separately. The cost for staying 2 nights in a guesthouse is 700 yuan. 4. Food budget: There are many more places to eat in Yubeng Village than there were ten years ago, and prices have decreased with the market mechanism. In addition to the simple restaurants opened by local Tibetans, there are also Hunan and Sichuan restaurants opened by people from other places. The average cost per person is generally over 100 yuan. The cost of dining for 3 days with friends was 2000 yuan, with an average cost of 1000 yuan per person. 5. Transportation budget: From Shangri-La city center, take a bus directly to Deqin bus station, then transfer to a rural bus to Feilaisi. Usually, you take the rural bus to Xidang Village entrance in the morning, buy a ticket, and enter Yubeng Village. There are 5 buses a day from Shangri-La to Deqin bus station, departing at 9:20, 10:30, 12:30, 14:10, and 15:40, with a ticket price of 62 yuan. It is recommended to buy tickets online in advance, as they can be quite tight. The bus fare from Deqin bus station to Feilaisi is 5 yuan, and from Feilaisi to Xidang Village (Yubeng Village ticket office) is 20 yuan, making the round-trip fare 174 yuan. In total, the cost for a 3-day, 2-night trip to Yubeng Village is 470 yuan + 700 yuan + 1000 yuan + 174 yuan = 2344 yuan.

I saw a movie called 'Turning Mountain' a long time ago, and there is a line in it that I still remember. 'It is said that the first sight of entering Deqin, if you can see the thirteen peaks of Meili, you will be lucky for a whole year.', I saw it. Transportation: 🚗Originally I wanted to choose the kind of itinerary that picks up people at 4 am to watch the sunrise over the golden mountain. But I felt too tired. And I don't know how good the drivers on the internet are, so I gave up. 🚙I didn't get a ride with a similar itinerary at the guesthouse. 🚌So I finally chose the bus, one way 3.5-4 hours, at 'Diqing Jiaoyun' ➡️ Wuyou Travel ➡️ Passenger Bus ➡️ Select date, select Shangri-La Passenger Station - Feilai Temple boarding point. The round trip points are the same. Arrive at the passenger station and the point 20 minutes in advance and there will be no problem. I put the screenshot at the end. The driver of my trip rested at the Jinsha River Great Bay Viewing Platform, and I also took pictures. I chose the one that leaves at 9:20, and arrived at about 1 o'clock. 🏨: Eye of Meili My photos p11-p16 were taken in the hotel room and on the balcony, on the 6th floor, the balcony is cornered. Because I use iphone and Canon g7x3 to shoot, although the cornered one is slightly obstructed, but if you find a good angle, there is no problem with the distance, you don't need to put it in the room to shoot. The effect is very good. Arrived in the afternoon So I went to Feilai Temple to pray, and when I came back from Feilai Temple, there was a small road up from the side of the viewing platform, where there were a lot of prayer flags. The wind was strong that day, and the Kawa Bo peak gradually revealed the mountain peak in the clouds, and the prayer flags fluttered, as if bringing the call from the distant mountains. The viewing platform is now free, just go down. I took a few photos and decided to sit in the coffee car and drink coffee while basking in the sun, waiting for the clouds and mist to disperse. I saw the weather and astronomy on the day, and I knew that I would definitely not see the sunrise over the golden mountain the next day, so I stayed up late to watch the stars, the sky was so good at night~ There was no cloud at all, and the clouds in the morning the next day... I was worried~ I was sleeping all the way back, I felt like I stopped three times, but I returned to the passenger station in a little over 3 hours, which was faster than the way there. After returning to Shangri-La, I chatted with the innkeepers, and they all said that there were carpooling to Yubeng, and Yubeng 100% basically could see the sunrise over the golden mountain, let me try it when I have a chance. Everyone can also make a reference. It was said in the public account of Hiking China, 'If a person is willing to spend time and energy to pursue the sunrise over the golden mountain, then to a certain extent, it represents that this person has a perception and pursuit of beauty and a kind of romanticism that does not compromise with vulgar life. Only a vigorous life has the opportunity to meet the sunrise, and such a person has the ability to turn misfortune into luck.' I didn't see it this time, there will be next time, a lifetime is very long, I didn't see it this time, I will come again anyway~
