A More Stunning Perspective Than Feilai Temple Viewing Platform! Meili North Slope

🗻 Hidden in Diqing, Yunnan Province, lies a place to explore the last secret of Meili Snow Mountain—the Meili North Slope. 🗻 The Meili North Slope refers to the northern peaks of Meili Snow Mountain, which include four towering snow-capped mountains over 6,000 meters above sea level: Riguangka Peak, Nairidingka, Mangkuanglaka Peak, and Lion Snow Mountain (Kawagebo Peak). 🌸🌵 Snow-Capped Peaks 🐾 From afar, the snow-capped peaks of Meili North Slope resemble towering giants, eternally clad in silver-gray armor, standing motionless and gazing coldly at the ever-changing world below. Shrouded in mist, they appear mysterious and elusive; under clear skies, they exude grandeur and majesty. 🐾 Up close, the Nairidingka Glacier glows with a bluish hue as it cascades downward like a frozen waterfall. As you approach, you might even hear the sound of ice cracking, as if the glacier is narrating tales of its past. 🌸🌵 Starry Skies and Glaciers During the day, the awe-inspiring millennium-old glacier feels almost oppressive when experienced up close. At night, the starry sky and the Milky Way descend, adorning the snow peaks with a silver sheen. Lying in your tent, accompanied by stars from billions of years ago, is nothing short of romantic. 🌸🌵 Alpine Pools Nestled quietly at the valley's bottom are small pools whose colors shift with the angle of sunlight—sometimes deep blue, sometimes emerald green. They are as profound as fragments of a divine mirror randomly scattered by the gods, reflecting the serene and tranquil snow peaks. 🌸🌵 Biodiversity Starting from Yagong Village, the vegetation changes as the altitude increases. Looking back, you can see distinct vertical landscape zones, rich and colorful. If you pay close attention, you might even spot medicinal herbs mentioned in the "Shennong Bencaojing." In summer, wildflowers bloom everywhere, adding a touch of charm to the mysterious Meili North Slope. 🌸🌵 Best Seasons to Visit In late spring and early summer (May and June), alpine rhododendrons bloom, surrounding the campsite with pink blossoms. Overlooking the sea of flowers beneath the snow-capped mountains feels like stepping into a fairyland. In autumn (September and October), the crisp air and vibrant forests create a colorful spectacle. Standing on the autumnal meadows and gazing at the pristine snow peaks offers a unique experience. 🌸🌵 Why Visit Meili North Slope From the northern perspective, you can witness the unique scenery of Meili Snow Mountain's other side. Compared to the breathtaking view of Meili Snow Mountain's golden sunrise from Feilai Temple, trekking through the untamed North Slope feels like unveiling the last hidden secrets of Meili Snow Mountain, leaving you in awe. 🌸🌵 "Explore Meili North Slope, Kiss Kawagebo, and Venture into the Glacier's Hidden Realm" 🐾 Itinerary Overview: D1 Lijiang/Shangri-La Gathering D2 Lijiang—Shangri-La—Foshan Township D3 Foshan Township—Yagong Village—Zhangjia Campsite—Bamboo Forest Campsite D4 Bamboo Forest Campsite—Pojun Glacier—Pojun Campsite D5 Pojun—Ciding Pass—Pojiang Campsite D6 Pojiang Campsite—Dala Campsite—Yagong Village—Feilai Temple D7 Feilai Temple—Lijiang
