I can't remember how many times I've walked around the icy lake, but this is definitely the most beautiful one. 🧥Notes for recent trekking on the icy lake: 1, Trekking poles, ice claws, sunglasses, snow covers, gloves, hats are all necessities. 2, The average thickness of the snow along the whole journey is around the calf, but because the path has been walked out by everyone, it's relatively easy to walk, just need to pay attention to clean the ice claws in time, otherwise it will still be slippery. 3, For friends who have no trekking experience, the difficulty of the icy lake after the blizzard is greater than usual, because the whole journey is icy and snowy. Although there are ice claws, walking on the snow will consume more leg strength and energy, it is recommended to start as early as possible, and assume that it takes about 1 hour longer than usual. 🪡About dressing: Top: lulu quick-drying base layer + pata wool fleece + Arc'teryx beta ar Bottom: quick-drying compression pants + Arc'teryx gamma lt I didn't add or remove any clothes during the whole journey. It was a bit hot when climbing, I just opened the zipper to a certain extent. If you are afraid of the cold, you can prepare an extra mid-layer down jacket in your bag. 📷Shooting time: December 15th

Getting There - From the Upper Yubeng Village, it is about two hours’ hike to reach Yakou with an alititude of 3,700 meters. Then you will pass through a primitive forest to reach the Base Camp. From there, it’s another one hour’s hike to reach the Ice Lake. I hiked from upper Yubeng village to the Iced Lake for less than three hours one way and honestly the views along the way were absolutely stunning - having traveled to quite some places I have never seen anything like that in the entire world. It is literally out of the world. When you reach the Iced Lake, you will see that it is a dark green lake that is formed by the melting snow water from the Meili Snow Mountain. The blue glaciers and the green lake complement each other, as melt water from the glaciers and snow falls from the cliff constantly replenishing the lake. #hiking #yunnan #naturalwonders #nationalpark #wintergetaway #awesomepic

The Icy Lake near Yubeng Village is about 3800m height, which takes 4-5 hours to arrive and 3 hours to go back. It's my first snow hiking trail, kinda of super excited. First we will come across a farm, then all the way up into the forest with more and more snow piling up. It's unbelievable how those lovely and bold those squirrels are. They just came into us and even jump onto us for food, eat and carry some back to their home. There is a platform where we can have a quite open view of the icy lake, and forest decorated with snow, what a Christmas vibe! Coming down from the platform, here comes my favourite part：super thick snow in the forest! Can't help laying down and have fun, while other people have a snowball fight! Hahaha~ After 1.5 hours hike through another farm, and a small peak, we finally arrived the gorgeous Icy Lake covered in white, with some glaciers on the top. Beautiful as it is, but watch out when you walk around the lake as there are constantly icy bricks or rocks falling down. Here are some photos! #momentsmission #hikingtrails #hike #hikingadventures

About 80 percent of the lake is still covered in ice, and sunlight shines through the ice, casting a sapphire-like glow. As the drone rises, overlooking this kingdom of ice and snow, you’ll notice that the ice cracks look like a huge work of art. [Shit][Shit] The surrounding Tianshan Mountains are covered with unmelted snow, ice blue and pure white intertwined, both cold and healing. And on the south shore, sporadic wildflowers have sprung up, small yellow and white flowers dotting the ice fields, appearing both stubborn and romantic. Although the large sea of ​​flowers has to wait until May, every moment here is full of anticipation. [Shit][Shit] Come to Sailimu Lake at this time, you can enjoy this tranquil ice lake alone. Less crowded view, no need to wait in line for the best seat. The February-only collision of blue ice and melting ice is more of a spectacle that can only be appreciated in early spring. And in terms of accommodation, the off-season prices at this time have further skyrocketed the value for money, experience the Kazakh-style herdsmen’s hut, and save enough money to binge on a meal of lamb skewers.

It's almost entirely paved, with only the last section being an uphill climb. 4️⃣ Day 4: Departure from the Village 🚗 Transportation 🚗 Self-drive: Self-driving is the most convenient, but you still need to take a local off-road vehicle to enter Rainbun Village. ✈️ Airport: The nearest airport to Rainbun is Shangri-La Airport. 🚄 High-speed Rail: Shangri-La has a high-speed rail station. 🚌 Bus: You can take a bus from Shangri-La Bus Station to Feilai Temple, then charter a car/share a car to Ninong, and transfer to an off-road vehicle to enter the village. Meili Snow Mountain is awe-inspiring and incredibly beautiful. However, as it is a sacred mountain for Tibetans, it's essential to show respect and avoid venturing onto unopened trails.

1️⃣ Travel 1. Start alone🚶🏻‍➡️ Arriving in Shangri-La from all over the country, you can share a car or charter a car to Yubeng Village, which takes about 4 hours and costs 120 yuan per person. You can also share a car/charter a car/bus from Shangri-La to Deqin County or Feilai Temple to stay overnight before going to Yubeng Village. In the morning, you can watch the sunrise over Jinshan Mountain before setting off. Generally speaking, sharing a car and chartering a car are very convenient, and the phone numbers of various homestay and restaurant owners can be found. 2. Departure of the free travel group 🚶‍➡️🚶‍➡️ Find a free travel group to Yubeng Village on the Internet. The group usually gathers in Lijiang in the morning, then spend the night at Feilai Temple, and then sets off for Yubeng Village the next morning after watching the sunrise over Jinshan Mountain. 2️⃣Food and accommodation 1. Food There are many restaurants in Yubeng Village, but the prices are very expensive. You can buy some supplies before entering Yubeng Village and bring them in. 2 nights stay The accommodation in Yubeng Village is divided into two parts, one is Shang Yubeng Village and the other is Xia Yubeng Village. The difference between the two parts is that Shang Yubeng Village is closer to the Ice Lake Route, while Xia Yubeng Village is closer to the Divine Waterfall Route. The accommodation conditions are similar, but the journey between the two villages is about 1 hour. You can choose to take the village bus for about 60 yuan. 3️⃣Hiking 1. Divine Waterfall Route The route to Shenpu is mostly cement roads, with a total climb of about 500 meters and a maximum altitude of 3,600 meters. The round trip takes about 6-7 hours, depending on your physical strength. There may be snow and ice when you finally arrive at Shenpu. Bring crampons. Crampons can be rented at the village homestay. There are supply places on the road, but the prices are very expensive. Be prepared before departure and pay attention to the weight you carry. 2. Ice Lake Route The Ice Lake route is all muddy roads, with a total climb of about 800 meters, and a maximum altitude of more than 3,900 meters. The round trip takes about 8-10 hours, depending on personal physical strength. The Ice Lake route is generally difficult to climb throughout the entire route. There is a desperate slope in the second half, so you must bring crampons. In the first half, you can choose to take a donkey to reach the Ice Lake Base Camp, which costs about 400 yuan per person. 3. Ninon Line This route is the route out of Yubeng Village. The whole route is downhill on cement road. It takes about 3-5 hours, depending on personal physical strength. Be careful not to slip when it rains. It is a canyon route. Pay attention to the canyons on both sides. If you don’t want to walk, you can take a bus for 260 yuan out of Yubeng. 4️⃣Summary Yubeng Village is an entry-level high-altitude hiking route. The altitude of more than 3,000 meters is not high, but altitude sickness will occur. Remember not to run during the hike. If you cannot move forward after altitude sickness occurs, you should retreat in time. Check your equipment before departure and carry a reasonable amount of weight. Plateau hiking is relatively different from ordinary hiking. Don't think that you can do it as long as you have feet. You still have to do it according to your ability. Try to find a guide to prevent accidents. There are two routes to Yubeng Village. Those two routes are very difficult and are not recommended. Even if you can go there, you won’t read the travel notes here. Please respect nature and don't move forward blindly. "Heaven is on the left, Yubeng is on the right." Perhaps only after you have been to Yubeng can you understand the meaning of this sentence. I wish you all peace and happiness.

On December 13, the Deqin County People's Government notified that motor vehicles and non-motor vehicles are prohibited from passing through the Ni Nong-Yubeng Horse and Horse Post Road❗️ Due to the suspension of the Ninon pickup truck, we had to hike the entire way through the Ninon Grand Canyon to enter and exit Yubeng Village (a one-way hike is about 15KM and takes 5 to 6 hours). On the day of the hike, we entered Yubeng and didn’t have time to visit the Shen Waterfall! ⛄️Itinerary suggestions⛄️ D1:🌏【Lijiang/Shangri-La】Meet up - Haba Snow Mountain Observation Deck - Yila Grassland - Dukezong Ancient Town - "Jinsha River Moon Bay" - Baima Snow Mountain Pass - Feilai Temple to see "Meili Thirteen Peaks" D2: 🏔Feilai Temple "Sunshine Golden Mountain" - 🚶‍♂️Hiking "Ni Nong Canyon" - Yubeng Village Hiking distance: 14 km Climbing altitude: 1200 meters Highest altitude along the route: 3200 meters Supply points along the way: places along the way where you can buy food and supplies, including canteens Activity time: about 6 hours D3: 🚶‍♀️Hiking to "Xiao Nong Base Camp" - 🚶‍♀️Hiking to "Ice Lake" - Yubeng Village Hiking distance: 14 km Climbing altitude: 450 meters Highest altitude along the route: 3600m Supply points along the way: places along the way where you can buy food and supplies, including canteens Means of transportation: Round trip from the horse farm to the ice lake is 455 yuan per person.

It's truly a hidden gem. ⛺【Travel Tips】: Yubeng is located at the foot of Meili Snow Mountain in Deqin County, Diqing Prefecture, Yunnan Province.

🏔️Coming down from Rainbo, it feels like a dream. 🌠The dream is a green fairyland, with high mountains and clouds, a turquoise ice lake, waterfalls cascading from the sky, and various animals roaming freely. The animals here are not afraid of people and are very friendly. 🌲The vegetation here is lush and growing wildly, showing its vitality! 🚗Transportation Guide: [One] Navigate to "Gegejia Restaurant" [Two] It is recommended to take a chartered car or bus to Xidang Village 🎫 Consumption price: After entering the village, take a villager's off-road vehicle, 260💰/person 🏩 Accommodation recommendation: Recommended "Wild Language" and "International Youth Travel" 🌟 Hiking routes: [One] Waterfall Line, starting from Rainbo, total length 12km, round trip 6h; all concrete roads, consider it a warm-up. [Two] Ice Lake Line, starting from Upper Rainbo, round trip 11h, mostly flat! It is recommended to ride a horse haha. [Three] Cordyceps Line, (officially closed), second only to the God Lake route [Four] God Lake Line (Cuo Ka Peak), starting from Rainbo, altitude 4700, round trip 12h, uphill all the way, God Lake to Cuo Ka Peak is the best angle to appreciate Goddess Peak (Meintsum) (you can watch my previous video). [Five] Nise Line, starting from Upper Rainbo, less people hiking, total length 13km, round trip 8h

The second day in Yubeng, Ice Lake Trek. Yubeng Village has several classic trekking routes, including the Sacred Waterfall, Ice Lake, and Sacred Lake. Among them, the Sacred Waterfall route is relatively easy, taking about 4-5 hours round trip; the Ice Lake route is more challenging, requiring a full day; and the Sacred Lake route is the most mysterious and difficult, with high altitude and easy to get lost, requiring a guide and not recommended for the weak or those with altitude sickness. Starting from the village, the initial part is a relatively gentle forest with lush green vegetation. During the mushroom season, villagers can be seen going up the mountain to search for matsutake mushrooms, but the harvest is minimal, which explains the high prices. There is a steep slope before Xiaonong Ranch, which becomes slippery after rain, making it difficult even for horses and mules to stand firm. In the wooden house at Xiaonong Ranch, you can replenish your energy and rest for a while before starting the final ascent. The weather changes unpredictably, with sudden heavy rain catching you off guard. After a short while, the sky clears up again, only to turn cloudy and rainy once more. The ascent is a test of physical strength. The real Ice Lake may not be as beautiful as imagined, but the entire trekking experience is quite enjoyable, allowing you to fully immerse yourself. 📝Tips: Wear shoes with good grip, waterproof and non-slip. If you have knee braces or trekking poles, bring them to protect your knees. Bring your own dry food. Although there are supplies at Xiaonong, they are mostly instant noodles.

My first-ever hiking trip was dedicated to Yubeng. I have longed to visit Yubeng for a very long time, and since 2019, I have finally realized my dream of hiking there. It took a whole day to travel from Lijiang to Yubeng Village, and by the time I checked into the Upper Yubeng hostel, it was already six in the evening. The plan was to take two routes: the first day was Upper Yubeng to the Ice Lake; the second day was Upper Yubeng to Lower Yubeng to the Sacred Waterfall. 1️⃣ The hike to the Ice Lake was exhilarating with many steep slopes. We set off at 8:30 in the morning and successfully reached the summit before one in the afternoon. On the way down, we 'slid' all the way; 2️⃣ The second day's hike to the Sacred Waterfall was much easier compared to the Ice Lake route. Unfortunately, it has been snowing in Yubeng for the past few days, and we couldn't reach the top of the waterfall due to an avalanche. Therefore, we only made it to the base camp before turning back. However, the snowy scenery of the Sacred Waterfall route was much more spectacular than that of the Ice Lake, and it was also particularly suitable for snowball fights. Hanging prayer flags and performing the Sarlonba were all done on the Sacred Waterfall route. Each has its own charm, but the path from Lower Yubeng to Upper Yubeng was really difficult to walk, with steep slopes all the way . The original plan for the third day was to go down the mountain by off-road vehicle, but continuous snowfall in Yubeng had blocked the mountain roads. So we hiked from Upper Yubeng to Lower Yubeng, took a ride to the starting point of Ninong, and hiked eight kilometers down the mountain. It was indeed a pleasant surprise. The Ninong Grand Canyon is also very beautiful. The downhill was too shaky, and the last kilometer was completed entirely by willpower.

|Soul baptism. For the sentence "Heaven is on the left, Yubeng is on the right" I embarked on a journey of "eyes in heaven, body in hell" Two-day check-in for sports beginners: Ice Lake/God Waterfall Ice Lake Line Shangyubengxiao Farm Ice Lake Altitude: about 3860 meters (including 700 meters of climbing) and hiking distance: about 15 kilometers Time taken: 10 hours Shenpu Line Upper Yubeng Lower Yubeng Nainong Base Camp Waterfall Altitude is about 3657 meters (including 500M climbing), round trip is about 15KM Time taken: 8 hours The scenery along the way is incredibly beautiful At rest stops along the way in the primeval forest, you will always encounter chipmunks asking for food, and they will jump on you and snatch it without hesitation. (It is recommended that you do not feed it directly with your hands. You can throw it to it, but be careful not to get bitten.) Fortunately, I had made some plans in advance and had all the equipment. Yubeng is full of slopes, so the trekking poles played a big role. The snow on the top of the hiking route has not melted yet. There is a nearly 200-meter-high slope of despair near the top of the ice lake line, with a steep slope of nearly 80 degrees, so crampons and snow gaiters are still necessary. If you don’t prepare in advance, you can rent them in the shops in the village. The Ice Lake route is relatively primitive, with all dirt roads or rocky meadows and ice and snow, so you must be extra careful and pay attention to safety when going up and down. I am a timid person, so I followed the tour guide the whole time to avoid getting lost or taking the wrong route. The Shenpu Line is almost all paved with cement or stone slabs. The front is relatively flat, and there will be a relatively steep staircase road near the Shenpu. You just need to hold on and you can reach the top in about half an hour. When we arrived, it started to rain, so the disposable raincoats came in handy, both to protect us from the rain and to keep us warm. The wind is quite strong at the top and everyone will sweat during the climb, so it is recommended to put on an extra layer of clothes when approaching the end to avoid catching a cold or causing altitude sickness. Although I was very tired after two days, Yubeng Village really seemed like a paradise where I could escape from the world. Every place here was so beautiful that it made me believe in the existence of myths. On the morning of the day we left, I opened the curtains and saw the golden mountain in the sun, which was a perfect end to this trip.

On the rain collapse - ice lake - rain collapse rain collapse on DAY2 , we depart from the rain and go to the icy lake scenic area, this is the most classic route of the rain collapse, the whole journey is about 16 kilometers, morning It is very difficult to get off at 9 o'clock and arrive at a rain collapse at 6 o'clock in the evening. But I personally like this route very much, because this hiking route includes all the natural scenery of glaciers, rivers, snow mountains, forests, grasses, etc. It is very lucky to meet small squirrels. Experience.

Some time ago, I was invited by an old friend to do a large-scale activity for him to take pictures This activity is on foot on Meili Snow Mountain rain that time is really pretty. More but after all, is an old friend's activity also after half a year has not gone to outdoor activities I have not remembered this is the first time I came to the rain collapse and every time here / Hh/ I can still be like the first time here full of and look this may be the charm of walking even if you have gone many times but every time When walking on the same road there will be a different story happening because it is walking, tired and hard is inevitable and this clever process is easy for you to block Emotional open hmm to be able to stay on the road
