Taste Poetic Illusion on Horizon - Beautiful Shangri-La in Yunnan Province (2)

Encounter a newlywed in Baimang Snow Mountain

The tour out of Shangri-La, I started to push forward to northwest Meili Snow Mountain in Deqin, would climb over the Baimang Snow Mountain in the altitude of 5,173 meters, and this mountain is one of the top 10 most beautiful forests in China, and the most famous thing in local place is the Alpine Azalea blooming as fire. The car galloped on the road, the panoramic view of majestic mountain and the natural landscapes all jumped into my sight. Layers of fields with tender green are reclaimed on hill slopes, seem like the beautiful rainbow at the hillside. The typical Tibetan style buildings like watchtower adorned in it, let people come from distant place have an urge to stay here in several days.



Before entering into the Baimang Snow Mountain, I stopped at the corner of Jinshajiang River to enjoy the grand view. The opposite bank in short distance is the Taiyang Valley in Sichuan Province, and a road likes a black belt twisting on hill. Photographing close to river, wind fluttering, blowing people crumbling more, which show it is more magnificent.

Higher and higher with the altitude, the accumulated snow is thicker and thicker and the temperature is lower and lower. Round a corner, people who are tormented by the altitude reaction are shocked by the view before eyes. A beautiful girl wearing bridal veil without sleeves is depending on the snow slope with sweet face. God, is a new couple of Shangri-La drives to this shoot snow real wedding pictures, such passion is really admirable!

Hot spring at the foot of snow-capped mountain

Too many articles is praising the Meili Snow Mountain which is the only one snow-capped mountain higher than 6,000 meters had never been conquered by human. I just want to say, it is characteristic!


According to legend, the main peak Kawadgarbo is the eudemon of this mountain which is located at the border of Yunnan Province and Tibet. It owns more than 20 snow peaks in altitude of 5,000 meters, among which there are 13 peaks are the grandest, also known as the Prince 13 Peaks. As one of the eight holy mountains of Tibetan Buddhism, it receives many Tibetan people from Tibet, Sichuan Province, Gansu Province, QingHai and Yunnan Province to walk around it. These people believe if they do not worship the Meili Snow Mountain, they will have a bad home when they dead.

At night, accommodating in a hot spring at foot of Sinong Glacier is an interesting and comfortable choice. The hot spring depends on the mountain, and the Lancangjiang River is close to it. Bathing in the warm spring water with the smell of sulphur, I looked up to see the stars above head, the smell of roasted mutton was full of my nose, at this time the tiring of trip had gone.
Shangri-La is a mysterious and magical place, and it seems had magic to let everyone here feel close to paradise. I thought that is why many people like to come here, even though the strong altitude reaction.
