There are temperate marine glaciers closest to the equator in Eurasia.

Yulong Snow Mountain is called "Oulu" in Naxi language, which means "Tianshan Mountain". Its thirteen snow peaks are endless, just like a "dragon" leaping and dancing, so it is called "Yulong". Because its lithology is mainly limestone and basalt, black and white is distinct, so it is also called "black and white snow mountain". It is the sacred mountain of Naxi people, and it is said that the Naxi people are the embodiment of the "three flowers".
