The total journey is 6 hours, Solo Shika Snow Mountain

The sixth time I went to Shangri-La, I passed most of the lines. This time I had limited time and I really couldn’t think of which one to go. Today I plan to visit the Abujitso New Line (I heard it is about to be closed). Last night, my friend highly recommended Shika. I decided to give it a try. 0 kilometers | The scenic spot may be planned to be restarted at present, and it is temporarily unavailable. You can enter from the nearby recommended hiking routes. According to the hiking route guidance on the roadside, drive to Laza Xianren Cave and start hiking. The climb of the trail is okay, and the route is fairly obvious, but There is a fork at about 4 kilometers and you need to turn right to cross the stream and continue; 5 kilometers | Entering the gravel road area, it is relatively flat, and the climb begins to increase at about 7 kilometers, and the snow is deep on some sections of the road, which can reach the knees; 9 kilometers | Start walking on the wooden plank road. There is still a lot of snow. It climbs the whole way. Some boards on the plank road are loose and you need to pay attention until you reach the top. 11 kilometers | Climbing to the summit, the wind was really strong, and with heavy fog and snow, the visibility was very low. I quickly took a selfie with my Apple Watch before preparing to descend. As a result, the return route was probably covered in snow and we couldn’t find it. We could only descend along the Mianshi Pier recommended by my friend yesterday. There is a huge drop from the first to last pole to the third to last pole, and the visual overlooking is relatively shocking (it feels like 75-80 degrees). Coupled with the snow and gravel, it fell several times. You can only choose to go down slowly in a Z-shaped pattern (which I personally think is the most difficult section). 13 kilometers | Arriving at the fourth to last stone pier, the route is relatively obvious, and someone must have just climbed up from here. There are obvious footprints, which makes me feel more at ease and I can walk along with peace of mind. 18 kilometers | Returning to the entrance of the scenic spot, I saw a motorcycle on the side of the road. It must have been someone who had just climbed up, but the visibility at the top of the mountain was low and I didn't encounter it. The total distance may not be accurate. The meter suddenly stopped for a period of time midway, so some distance may have been lost.

Everyday Journeys
Shika Snow Mountain

Shika in Tibetan refers to a mountain abounding in red deer, one of the auspicious animals in Tibetan Buddhism. It is said when Sakyamuni began to preach Buddhism in the Deer Park, two deer listened to him attentively in knee-down posture. Therefore, deer stands for common people and is regarded as mascots in Tibetan Buddhism. It is the symbol of longevity and justice. So it is regarded as a holy mountain for the local Tibetans. #china #yunnantravel #yunnan #landscapes #mountains #shangri-la #awesomepic #unforgettableexperiences #travelinspiration #naturalwonders #backpacking #photographyheaven
