Epic Peaks in Yunnan

Epic Peaks in Yunnan: Meili & Yulong Snow Mountain Views 🏔️✨ Get ready for double snowy thrills as you soak in breathtaking panoramas at both Meili Snow Mountain Lookout and Yulong Snow Mountain Cableway’s upper station—these destinations promise dazzling views that truly make the journey worthwhile! Begin your day at the Meili Snow Mountain Lookout (Deqin, Yunnan, open year-round, 24/7). Arrive early for sunrise—the mountain glows gold, perfect for “insta-worthy” shots from the main terrace or the path leading to the prayer flags. Walk slowly, take your time—the air is crisp, and the view is magical. Must-do: join locals and travelers in a morning ritual of watching the first rays hit Kawa Karpo. Bring a warm layer; it gets cold even in summer. Pace yourself and breathe—the altitude is no joke. Next, head to Yulong Snow Mountain National Scenic Area, and ride the cableway to the upper station (within Lijiang’s Yulong Naxi Autonomous County, open daily). Enjoy a jaw-dropping cable car ascent! At the top, wander the wooden walkways for all-around snow-capped vistas, and snap a picture towards the Glacier Park sign or looking down at Lijiang below. Must-do: rent a down jacket at the station if you didn’t bring your own—temperatures drop sharply. Watch for altitude sickness, and move slowly. Personal tip: Both locations are “worth it” for the sheer beauty and peaceful atmosphere—take your time, soak it in, and don’t rush for photos; the moments are yours to keep. #deqen #lijiang #snowmountain #epicviews #yunnantravel
