The most beautiful season has arrived, and the brave are the first to enjoy Yubeng!
"Paradise is to the left, Yubeng to the right"
This ancient Tibetan village deep in the Meili Snow Mountain
is a secret deep in Yunnan~
📍Located within the territory of Deqin County, Diqing Prefecture, Yunnan Province, at the foot of Meili Snow Mountain, it exists at an altitude of about 3000m or more, and here it is divided into Upper Yubeng and Lower Yubeng
Why choose autumn for Yubeng?
From the end of October, Yubeng officially enters the dry season
Clear skies are the norm, with only a few days of cloudy rain
✅No trouble from the rains, no muddy mountain roads
✅You can witness the autumn colors blooming all over the mountains
✅And there's a very high chance of seeing the golden sunrise on the mountain and the starry sky
🏠Accommodation:
✨Both Yubengs are made of wood and are Tibetan-style houses, with generally basic accommodation conditions.
✨I personally suggest staying one night at Feilai Temple before entering Yubeng, no need to get up early, and you can see Meili Snow Mountain from the hotel, with a very good angle.
🏃Main hiking routes
1. The Sacred Waterfall route (13.6km)
Starting from Lower Yubeng, the whole path is cement and stone steps, friendly to beginners, the waterfall is spectacular during the rainy season, and the colorful prayer flags are a highlight
2. The Ice Lake route (14km)
Starting from Upper Yubeng, you will pass through sea buckthorn and fir forests, pastures, streams, and rock piles, with beautiful scenery in summer and average in winter
3. The Caterpillar Fungus route (18km)
Starting from Upper Yubeng, the most beautiful route, surrounded by snow-capped mountains on a mountain ridge
Directly facing the shock of the Goddess Peak
4. The Sacred Lake route (10km)
Starting from Lower Yubeng, the whole way is uphill and heart-pounding, with an altitude of up to 4600
5. The Ninnong route (14km)
A must-pass route out of Yubeng, passing through forests, valleys, and cliffs
🚩Must-visit attractions
1⃣Yubeng Village
A village called the residence of immortals, without the noise of the city, only blue skies, snow mountains, primeval forests, and fearless little squirrels.
2⃣Ice Lake
"The heart of Kawagarbo," formed by the melting waters of the snow mountain, the lake water is deep green like jade.
3⃣Feilai Temple
Directly facing the thirteen peaks of Meili Snow Mountain, it is an excellent spot to watch the golden sunrise on the mountain. Catching the first ray of golden light on the snow mountain before sunrise can bring good luck for the whole year.
4⃣Songzanlin Monastery
"The Little Potala Palace," the NO.1 Tibetan Buddhist temple in Yunnan by scale. Walking around the lake at the temple's entrance, Lamuyangcuo, can unlock the hidden position of the temple's reflection in the lake!
5⃣Napa Lake
"The tear of Shangri-La," with the unique scenery of "winter sea and summer meadow," in winter the rising waters form "Napa Lake," and in summer the receding rainwater turns into "Yila Grassland."
💥Tips:
1. The ultraviolet rays are strong in the plateau area, so be sure to do enough sun protection!
2. To prevent altitude sickness: start taking Rhodiola rosea capsules a week in advance/highland Yubeng village peace, do not bathe when you first arrive at the highland, and do not engage in strenuous exercise.
3. Prepare enough vitamin tablets, energy bars, and beef jerky to replenish energy in time during hiking.
4. Friends who are hiking for the first time should try to set out early, as the mountain roads are complex to avoid walking at night.
5. You can prepare some cash as some places along the way may have poor signal.
6. The best time to see the golden sunrise on the mountain is from late October to March of the following year, remember to check the weather forecast before you go.
7. Clothing recommendation: waterproof jacket, fleece, quick-dry shirt, quick-thousand pants, and storm pants.
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!
a beautiful Tibetan village in the northwest of Yunnan. up close view of the snow capped mountains.
In fact, I don’t like hiking much. I didn’t experience it very well in Daocheng before, but I have arrived at Feilai Temple. Yubeng is right next to it. After reading the introduction, the Shenpu Line seems to be able to walk around. This time, because of the long adaptation time, there is almost no high reaction to Yubeng. But the last 900 meters is still very panting, ten steps and twenty steps, but in fact, the front horse farm and the cedar forest are very comfortable, not to arrive, just walk in front 3.4km can also come, of course, the village off-road vehicle is really expensive, like a roller coaster, the handle must be pulled down feeling
Yubeng is worth a visit. The ice lake is too difficult to walk. 12 hours is our limit. It depends on a cavity of blood. Finally, it is completed. The waterfall is much easier. It is recommended to be easy and difficult. .
