Trekking the North Slope of Meili from September to the end of November

🏔️Secret trek on the North Slope of Meili! Cross through canyons and meadows straight to Pojun Camp! ❄️The North Slope of Meili is more than just a direction! This high mountain pasture surrounded by peaks hides an entire fairyland! 📍Location: Deqin County, Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture 🚌 Transportation tips: ① Take a bus from Shangri-La Bus Station to Deqin (4h) ② Charter an off-road vehicle to the camp (1.5h on a corrugated road) 🚶‍♂️Pilgrimage route: 1️⃣ Feilai Temple Viewing Platform Stay up early to catch the "Sunlight on the Golden Mountain"! The first ray of sunlight on the summit of Kawagebo Peak draws gasps from everyone 📸 Photo spot: Timelapse at the prayer flag white tower 2️⃣ Mingyong Glacier Horseback ride through the primeval forest (150 RMB/person)! The glacier tongue is within reach ⚠️ Note: Wear anti-slip shoes on the scree slope 3️⃣ Pojun Camp An ultra-hidden camp at 4,120m altitude! Surrounded by snow-capped mountains on three sides, the Milky Way is visible to the naked eye at night ✨ Hidden activity: Find a Tibetan guide to pick snow lotus (July-August) 🌿 Must-visit spots: • Seven-colored Prayer Flag Valley: A hundred-meter prayer flag tunnel at the canyon bend • Glacier Meltwater Lake: Milky blue water with floating ice 🥘 Tibetan flavor hits: • Butter tea with barley cakes (available in camp tents) • Yak meat hotpot (Gangriyangqing Restaurant in Deqin County) 💡 Tips to avoid pitfalls: ① Snow mountains fog up after 2 PM daily! Take photos early ② No signal on trekking routes, download offline maps in advance
