There are two snow-capped mountains in Yunnan, Meili Snow-capped Mountain and Yulong Snow-capped Mountain. The scenic spots in Enge are both very good, but which one is more interesting? In fact, most of them still look at personal hobbies. Now Xiaobian still introduces them to you.

Is it the same place?

No, they are two completely different scenic spots. Although they both belong to Yunnan Province, they are more than 411 kilometers apart. Yulong Snow Mountain is located in Yulong Naxi Autonomous County of Lijiang City. It is the southernmost snow mountain in China and the whole northern hemisphere, with an altitude of 5,596 meters. Meili Snow Mountain is a huge north-south snow mountain group in the west of Qinxian County, Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, with an average elevation of over 6111 meters. Friends, don't confuse these two snow-capped mountains.

Where should I go

There is a saying among the local people that Meili Snow Mountain is for viewing, and it is very ornamental in scale and spectacular degree, but it is not allowed to climb; Yulong Snow Mountain is the only snow mountain that can be climbed in China. Standing at the peak of 4681 meters, the beautiful scenery at first glance is quite shocking. In terms of time, Meili Snow Mountain is near the Feilai Temple in Deqin. From Lijiang, it used to be necessary to transfer to Deqin in Shangri-La and then to Feilai Temple. Therefore, it takes at least 4 days to go to Meili Snow Mountain, and it is best to join a pure play group recommended by Wang Sibao of Lijiang, with a price of 1,681 yuan/person. Know the road conditions in advance before going. If the road conditions are not good, it is not recommended to go. Yulong Snow Mountain is located in Lijiang City, which is very close to Lijiang. It takes only one day to go back and forth, and the transportation is convenient. Therefore, if time is short, you can choose Yulong Snow Mountain.

How to play Yulong Snow Mountain

Generally speaking, the scenic spots that must be visited in Yulong Snow Mountain are Glacier Park, Blue Moon Valley and Ganhaizi, as well as two must-see performances, Impression of Lijiang and Love of Lijiang. Other scenic spots in the scenic area include Yunshan Ping, Maoniuping, Baishui River, Bingtalin, etc. If there is not enough time, you can not go. After entering the scenic spot, the waiting time for buying ropeway tickets in line needs luck, usually about 1-2 hours, which means that even if you go early in the morning, it may be 11 o'clock when you really start climbing the mountain. Generally speaking, after 12 noon, there will be wind and more clouds on the mountain, and the beautiful scenery of the snow-capped mountains may be covered by clouds. Therefore, at the first stop, I suggest that you buy a cable car ticket and go directly to the Snow Mountain. In order to save the waiting time, you must book the cable car ticket in advance. After climbing the Snow Mountain, you can take the cable car to Blue Moon Valley scenic spot, and then visit other scenic spots on the way back, so as to avoid going back. Therefore, the best tour route is: the entrance of Yulong Mountain Scenic Area-Glacier Park-Blue Moon Valley (Baishui River-Ganhaizi-Impression Lijiang/Lijiang Ancient Love (Yunshan Ping and Maoniuping choose to go.

The core attraction of Yulong Snow Mountain Scenic Area

Glacier Park Yulong Snow Mountain is called "Oulu" in Naxi language. This snow mountain, which combines all kinds of natural landscapes in subtropical, temperate and cold regions, is said to be the embodiment of the Naxi protector "Sanduo", so it has always been regarded as a sacred mountain by Naxi people. The cable car will take you to a height of 4516 meters, and the rest of the journey is to climb it step by step until the highest point of 4681 meters. Standing on the observation deck, the snow-capped mountains and ice peaks standing in the sky are particularly spectacular. In addition, you can also get in touch with ice and snow at zero distance.
