A Hidden World Beyond the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain After being deeply impressed by the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain in Lijiang, I embarked on a journey to Yubeng, where even more stunning natural beauty lies hidden. Passing through Shaxi, I witnessed the historical traces of the Tea Horse Road. Outside the car window, the snowy expanse of Napahai, a fleeting glimpse of the Songzanlin Monastery, and the Lancang River raging incessantly through the gorge. Crossing the Baima Snow Mountain, a pristine white landscape unfolded before my eyes. 🌄 The Winter Scroll of Yubeng Village East of Meili, at the foot of the sacred mountain, lies Yubeng Village, where in winter, the wooden houses are neatly scattered, smoke from cooking fires intertwines with the sound of cowbells, from the golden sunrise over the mountain to the bluesy twilight, the golden roof of the temple reveals its mystery in tranquility. 🏨 Wildtalk Hotel: A Warm Haven Checking into the Wildtalk Hotel was an anticipation of my trip. Outside was a world of ice and snow, while inside was as warm as spring, with attentive service that made one feel at home. In the morning, there was no need to rush, waking up at 8 o'clock, enjoying breakfast in the lobby while admiring the magnificent view of the sunlit golden mountain. 📝 Yubeng Travel Tips Direct flights to Diqing Shangri-La or Lijiang. The high-speed train from Lijiang to Shangri-La only takes 1.5 hours. It is recommended to stay in Shangri-La for one night to avoid missing the vehicle to Yubeng. Take a business car from Shangri-La to Xidang Village parking lot, the journey takes about 4-5 hours, and the cost is about 600-700 yuan/car. The Yubeng scenic area ticket is 55 yuan/person, you can choose to take an off-road vehicle in the scenic area or hike in (about 8 hours one way). The round-trip tickets from Yubeng Village are 260 yuan and 200 yuan respectively, and the off-road vehicle may stop running in extreme weather. The Yubeng scenic area stops selling tickets after 17:00 daily. The breakfast at Wildtalk Hotel starts at 8:00, which is the best time to watch the sunlit golden mountain.

🔼Upper Yubeng Shanyu Guesthouse (Photos 2~10) A very new guesthouse, located at a higher position. The interior is spacious and bright, very clean, with large glass windows offering great views. Pulling back the curtains reveals an unobstructed view of the snow-capped mountains. On a winter morning, watching the sunlit golden mountains from the room is truly comfortable. The bathroom is divided into three separate areas, and the toiletries are also quite good. My favorite feature is the guesthouse's own heating system, which starts every evening at 6 o'clock. Although it doesn't get overly warm, it's enough to not feel cold. The lobby on the first floor is very spacious, with ethnic costumes available for borrowing, a supermarket, and also a restaurant where you can have a full meal. Breakfast includes rice noodles and some self-service snacks, which taste very average. You can go to the opposite Chuanwei Food Tribe, which opens very early. 🙅If I had to point out a downside, it would be the steep slope in front of the door. After climbing the mountain all day, the last stretch of road is really the last straw, too hard . However, the guesthouse offers foot soaking, which is quite comfortable. 🚪: 98 guest rooms 💰: 510+ There are also cheaper bunk beds 🔽Lower Yubeng Muchen Mountain House (Photos 11~17) Located further inside the lower village of Yubeng, it has a very artistic log style. The owners seem to be a couple, very enthusiastic, and you can borrow trekking poles for free. There's a small courtyard with many cats running around. The guesthouse faces the snow mountains, but unfortunately, the view is somewhat obstructed by other guesthouses in front 🤷‍♀️. The rooms are very spacious and the bathrooms are clean. You can have breakfast, and the presentation looks quite nice, but due to an early start for hiking, I didn't have the chance to eat. 🙅I wouldn't recommend staying here in winter, although it might be a comfortable guesthouse in other seasons. There is underfloor heating, but it requires inserting a power card to operate, and it heats up very slowly. After returning from trekking, turning on the underfloor heating, it doesn't warm up all night, too cold to dare to take a shower. There's a gap under the door, and the room is even colder the next morning than it was at night... The value for money is too low. 🚪: 20 guest rooms 💰: 610+ The last photo was taken from the rooftop terrace of the Yubeng Holiday Hotel, with a nice view.
