Meili Snow Mountain is such a place where
you will not taste about it if you do not experience it personally. Although
the distance to Meili is long, visitors always like to enjoy its different
tastes in four seasons; although heavy snow has sealed the mountain passes, the
people insist to worship the holy mountain and wash the mind, and I am the one
among them. Get up earlier in the morning, cloudless, I open the window and
then I see the whole Meili standing before my eyes. Facing such splendid
snow-capped mountain, besides the exciting, I feel more marvel, enjoyment and
petrification.
Meili Snow Mountain is a snow-capped
mountain, but also a famous holy mountain, especially the Main Peak –
Kawadgarbo is listed to be the first of Eight Holy Mountain of Tibeatn
Buddhism. The Joseph Locke who is a geographer said it is the most magnificent
and beautiful mountain he had seen. Meili Snow Mountain is such a mountain
which let people want to cry, swear, shoot and love when see it. Other people
say we have no chance to paradise, but we are able to Meili, and I say the
paradise is far but Meili is not far!
Meili Snow Mountain is located at the
junction of Jinshajiang River, , Lancangjiang River and Nujiang River, has 13
peaks above elevation of 6,000 meters which are called Prince Thirteen Peaks,
and the main Peak – Kawadgarbo Peak is the highest peak in Yunnan Province with
the elevation of 6,740 meters. Meili Snow also has the Mingyong, Sinong, Niuba
and Nongsong grand glaciers, are the rare modern glaciers in low altitude,
lower temperature and low elevation. And the longest and biggest one is the
Mingyong Glacier which is famous for a piece of nerve of Kawadgarbo Peak and
the nerve connecting sky and earth. But owing to the global warming and the too
many visitors, the Mingyong Glacier is quickly melting with the speed of 50
meters in every year, and this situation let local people and the experts
worried.
From 1987 to 1996, there are totally 9
times to hike the Meili Mountain, but all failed, and the multi-climbing of
China and Japan in 4 times, Japanese individual climbed in 1 time and American
climbed in 4 times. Since 1996, China explicitly prohibits to climb the Meili
Snow Mountain. In many restaurants and bars in Feilai Temple, they all play the
feature programme about the romaunts of Meili Snow Mountain, including its
origin, national religion, the failed climbing experiences and recall, really
shock!
And as the global warming, the best seasons
to appreciate the Meili Snow Mountain are from November to the next year May. During
this time, the sky is fine and air is clean, with hiher transparency, always
have chance to see the Kawadgarbo Peak, but in other time, it depends on your
luck.
