Destination 01

｜Shangri-La: from Meili Snow Mountain to Pudacuo National Park｜

From “Small Potala Palace to Dukezong Ancient City Prayer Wheel”, see the sunrise and sunset of Meili Snow Mountain.

The ancient city of Dukezong is the best-preserved and largest Tibetan residential group in China. The ancient city was built on a mountainous terrain, and the road surface was undulating. It was paved with some old stones over the ages in the natural terrain. To this day, the flagstone roads are still left with deep horseshoe mark, it was a token left by the caravan to time. For caravans crossing the ancient tea-horse road, the ancient city of Dukezong is an important town on the ancient tea-horse road, and it is also the first stop of the caravan after entering Tibet.

Meili Snow Mountain is a sacred mountain in the hearts of Tibetans. It is located between the Nu River and the Lancang River in the middle section of the Hengduan Mountains about 20 kilometers west of Deqin County, Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province. “The main peak is 6740 meters above sea level, which is the highest peak in Yunnan. The main peak at an altitude of 6740 meters is still the “virgin peak” that humans have not been able to conquer, and it is also the only peak forbidden to climb due to cultural protection.

Shangri-La in March-May is at the end of winter and early spring. The sun is shining everywhere. If you want to see sunrise on the Meili snow mountain, you must not miss a visit to Shangri-La at the end of the dry season. The “Sunrise” of Meili Snow Mountain is extremely shocking and yet rarely, the end of winter and the beginning of spring are the best viewing seasons.
