A Hidden World Beyond the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain After being deeply impressed by the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain in Lijiang, I embarked on a journey to Yubeng, where even more stunning natural beauty lies hidden. Passing through Shaxi, I witnessed the historical traces of the Tea Horse Road. Outside the car window, the snowy expanse of Napahai, a fleeting glimpse of the Songzanlin Monastery, and the Lancang River raging incessantly through the gorge. Crossing the Baima Snow Mountain, a pristine white landscape unfolded before my eyes. 🌄 The Winter Scroll of Yubeng Village East of Meili, at the foot of the sacred mountain, lies Yubeng Village, where in winter, the wooden houses are neatly scattered, smoke from cooking fires intertwines with the sound of cowbells, from the golden sunrise over the mountain to the bluesy twilight, the golden roof of the temple reveals its mystery in tranquility. 🏨 Wildtalk Hotel: A Warm Haven Checking into the Wildtalk Hotel was an anticipation of my trip. Outside was a world of ice and snow, while inside was as warm as spring, with attentive service that made one feel at home. In the morning, there was no need to rush, waking up at 8 o'clock, enjoying breakfast in the lobby while admiring the magnificent view of the sunlit golden mountain. 📝 Yubeng Travel Tips Direct flights to Diqing Shangri-La or Lijiang.

Yubeng Village Hiking Guide | Encounter the "Heavenly Secret Realm" and Measure Meili with Your Steps I. Preparations (1) Best Time to Visit May - June: Alpine rhododendrons in full bloom, meadows turning green, snowline still visible—experience both flowers and snow-capped mountains simultaneously. September - October: Autumn colors paint the forests, clear weather increases chances of witnessing the "Golden Sunlight over Snow Mountains." November - February: Stunning snowscapes, frequent winter sunshine makes "Golden Sunlight" views easier, fewer tourists ensure tranquility. Avoid: July - August is rainy season—landslides, slippery paths, and clouds often obscure the mountains, diminishing the experience. (2) Gear Checklist Clothing: Quick-dry shirts/pants (base layer for sweat-wicking), fleece/thin down jacket (insulation for mornings/high altitudes), waterproof shell jacket/pants (for unpredictable weather). Choose lightweight, anti-slip hiking shoes with thick socks to prevent blisters. Essentials: 30-40L backpack (for daily items), trekking poles (knee relief, especially downhill), sunglasses (snow/glare protection), high-SPF sunscreen (intense UV), hat (sun/warmth), headlamp (for night hikes/sunrise views), thermos (hot drinks), personal meds (altitude sickness, fever, inflammation, etc.). Supplies: Chocolate, energy bars, sports drinks (energy boost). Stock up on snacks/water before entering Yubeng, as supplies are limited. II. Transportation Guide (1) Major Routes Fly to Shangri-La: Arrive at Shangri-La Airport, then carpool/bus to Deqen (~4hrs), followed by a taxi to "Xidang Hot Springs" (trailhead, ~1hr).

Highlights: Tibetan pilgrimage site with sacred waterfall and prayer flags; stone-paved path, easy navigation, rest stops/supply stations. Tips: Wear anti-slip shoes. The final "Despair Slope" is steep—opt for a mule ride (¥500-800 round trip). At the waterfall, remove hats, circle it 1/3/5 times (odd numbers), and drink the pure water. (2) Ice Lake Route (Intermediate, Physically Demanding) Distance/Duration: 14km round trip, ~8hrs. Highlights: Primeval forests, glaciers, rivers, and snow peaks; emerald Ice Lake nestled among mountains—"body in hell, eyes in heaven." Tips: Windy passes require shells. Pre-May, bring crampons. Steep climbs demand stamina—turn back by 3pm for safety. (3) Ninong Gorge Route (Exit Path, Relatively Easy) Distance/Duration: 18km, mostly flat/downhill, ~3hrs. Highlights: Follow the Lancang River through cliffs and rapids—thrilling and majestic "cliffside secret realm." (4) Sacred Lake Route (Expert-Level Challenge) Distance/Duration: 20+km round trip, ~10hrs. Highlights: At 4,500m, face the Goddess Peak with clouds at your fingertips—stunning but grueling, requiring endurance. Tips: Hire a local guide for rugged terrain. Retreat by 4pm. Not for the frail or altitude-sensitive. IV. Sample Itinerary (4D3N) D1: Arrive in Shangri-La → carpool/bus to Deqen → taxi to Xidang → 4WD/hike to Upper Yubeng.

D4: Exit via Ninong Gorge (~3hrs), then carpool to Shangri-La/Lijiang. V. Food, Lodging & Tips (1) Accommodation Upper Yubeng: Budget-friendly, ideal for acclimatization and panoramic views (e.g., Butter Tea Inn). Lower Yubeng: Rustic charm, closer to Sacred Waterfall, serene (e.g., Wandering Blue Inn). (2) Must-Try Foods Yak hotpot (warming highland delight), butter tea with tsampa (Tibetan breakfast), pine mushroom chicken (seasonal delicacy). (3) Pro Tips Altitude: Carry oxygen/glucose. Avoid showers first two days to prevent colds worsening AMS. Pack Light: Hire mules for luggage (~¥100/item). Eco/Respect: Pack out trash. Circle mani piles left-to-right; avoid stepping on prayer flags—honor local customs.

The best thing to do when going to Yubeng is to stay in a good hotel. After a day of hiking, you are cold, hungry and tired. In a warm hotel, you can provide free laundry, shoe washing and drying services. Also free lip balm and facial mask for relaxation. There are various fruits and hot drinks to replenish energy. As soon as you open the curtains, the towering snow-capped mountains come into view, which is very chill. 🐰Transportation: Guangzhou✈️Fly to Shangri-La🚘Charge a car to Ni Nong🚶Hike to Yubeng pickup truck boarding point🛻Take a pickup truck to Xia Yubeng It really takes half a life to hike into the village. We carry too many things. It is strongly recommended to find someone to carry them up the mountain if there are too many things. If they are not essential, leave them in the hotel at the foot of the mountain. There are many luggage storage shops. During the days of Yubeng, I became freer and richer. From the sun shining on the golden mountain, the moon shining on the silver mountain to the clouds and mist. The mountains are silent, the gods are silent, they are used to the wind and clouds, and they are calm. It seems that I have gradually accepted the unpredictable nature of the snow-capped mountains. I have also become accustomed to staring at the snow-capped mountains in the hotel every day. I wander in the forest and talk to the cows and snails. A trip that truly faces nature may not need to be deliberately pursued. Just feel, believe, and be in awe.

It takes about 6 hours to hike from Xidang Village to Shang Yubeng, a total of 15 kilometers, with three supply points along the way~ You can also reverse the nylon line, but it will be tiring to climb all the way Accommodation 🏠 It is recommended to stay in Xiayubeng, the scenery is better! But Shangyubeng is suitable for watching the sunrise on Jinshan Mountain! The Lower Yubeng is close to the Shenpu Waterfall, while the Upper Yubeng is close to the Ice Lake. It takes about 30 minutes to walk from Shangyubeng to Xiayubeng. Equipment 🎒 Necessary sunglasses, warm hats, sun hats, jackets, raincoats, quick-drying clothes, knee pads, Rhodiola rosea (take it a week in advance to be effective!!) You don't need to bring trekking poles, as they are usually provided at the hostel.

|Won't come again next time.🧵Route Summary: Distance 12.19 kilometers, hiking 8.76 hours, calories burned 5019, elevation gain 1500 meters 🏔️Scenery: From 3000 meters to 4500 meters, the journey covers broad-leaved forests, bamboo forests, coniferous forests, and shrub forests, showcasing a diversity of vegetation and landforms. After reaching an altitude of 4000 meters, the climb continues through snowy terrain, with the ridge line at 4200 meters, framed by the Goddess Peak and Jiwa Ren'an, and the ascent continues. At an altitude of 4500 meters, due to heavy snow, the final destination of the sacred lake was not reached. ⌚️Time Arrangement: Wake up at eight in the morning, set off at nine, and must retreat from the mountain top by four in the afternoon 🎒Equipment: Lightweight assault pack, assault jacket, quick-dry shirt, water-repellent climbing pants, climbing shoes, trekking poles, knee protectors, snow gaiters, ice claws, trail meals The hiking route starts from behind the Yubeng Temple, crossing a bridge and following the original dirt path all the way up. ⚠️It is not recommended to go during rainy or snowy weather, especially be careful at the 4500-meter ridge line where there are no trees for shelter, and the physical exertion is significant, not suitable for hiking beginners! The scenery is worth the long climb, with Minzum as the backdrop, perfect for taking photos📷

🔼Upper Yubeng Shanyu Guesthouse (Photos 2~10) A very new guesthouse, located at a higher position. The interior is spacious and bright, very clean, with large glass windows offering great views. Pulling back the curtains reveals an unobstructed view of the snow-capped mountains. On a winter morning, watching the sunlit golden mountains from the room is truly comfortable. The bathroom is divided into three separate areas, and the toiletries are also quite good. My favorite feature is the guesthouse's own heating system, which starts every evening at 6 o'clock. Although it doesn't get overly warm, it's enough to not feel cold. The lobby on the first floor is very spacious, with ethnic costumes available for borrowing, a supermarket, and also a restaurant where you can have a full meal. Breakfast includes rice noodles and some self-service snacks, which taste very average. You can go to the opposite Chuanwei Food Tribe, which opens very early. 🙅If I had to point out a downside, it would be the steep slope in front of the door. After climbing the mountain all day, the last stretch of road is really the last straw, too hard . However, the guesthouse offers foot soaking, which is quite comfortable. 🚪: 98 guest rooms 💰: 510+ There are also cheaper bunk beds 🔽Lower Yubeng Muchen Mountain House (Photos 11~17) Located further inside the lower village of Yubeng, it has a very artistic log style. The owners seem to be a couple, very enthusiastic, and you can borrow trekking poles for free. There's a small courtyard with many cats running around. The guesthouse faces the snow mountains, but unfortunately, the view is somewhat obstructed by other guesthouses in front 🤷‍♀️. The rooms are very spacious and the bathrooms are clean. You can have breakfast, and the presentation looks quite nice, but due to an early start for hiking, I didn't have the chance to eat. 🙅I wouldn't recommend staying here in winter, although it might be a comfortable guesthouse in other seasons. There is underfloor heating, but it requires inserting a power card to operate, and it heats up very slowly. After returning from trekking, turning on the underfloor heating, it doesn't warm up all night, too cold to dare to take a shower. There's a gap under the door, and the room is even colder the next morning than it was at night... The value for money is too low. 🚪: 20 guest rooms 💰: 610+ The last photo was taken from the rooftop terrace of the Yubeng Holiday Hotel, with a nice view.

This section of the road can also be walked or you can take the village's 60/person pickup truck🛻. - About the God Waterfall line ▫️ 16 kilometers, I walked for seven or eight hours, half uphill and half downhill, all stone roads, my feet hurt from walking, and I was helped out by my friends on the return journey ▫️There is almost no shade, it's super sunny, the air is dry, and the air is filled with the smell of animal dung - About the Ice Lake line ▫️14 kilometers of primitive forest, the hiking trail and the horse trail almost 100% overlap, so... I don't know if the road under my feet is mud or horse dung ▫️It's easy to get lost in the primitive forest, download "Two Steps Road" in advance, don't panic when hiking -About altitude sickness ▫️The vegetation coverage is very high in summer, the oxygen content is high, and there is almost no altitude sickness If you want to know more, you can leave a message~

📍Route: Shanghai-Lijiang car rental-Deqin-Yubeng Village 🎒Essentials: high-top anti-wound hiking shoes, trekking poles, sun hat, jacket, warm cup, foot soaking bag, power bank, disposable towel, ibuprofen, Band-Aids, insect repellent, chocolate. 💰Book your flight tickets in advance, book your homestay hotel in advance, book your car in advance, it is not cheap, it is more expensive. Fly from Shanghai to Lijiang (now you can fly to Shangri-La, which is much closer)🚗Rent a car from Lijiang to [Deqin] There are many mountain roads, and the S-shaped road is really not exaggerated. We drove for 7 hours and finally arrived at night✅ 🚗Driving to Yubeng Village early the next morning, it took about 20 minutes to get there. On the way, I saw Rizhao Jinshan. There were not many people there, and there was no queue. It takes 40 minutes to drive there. (You must spend the few hundred dollars for the car fare, it is worth experiencing it yourself. Safety comes first) 🎒The homestay we booked is in Shangyubeng. After dropping off our things, we went to climb the [Shen Waterfall] with the lowest difficulty coefficient. The locals took 2 hours to go back and forth, while we took 7 hours to go back and forth. The overall experience went from passion to exhaustion. The last 2km was a fatal slope. All the people coming down the mountain who met along the way would tell you, "Come on, there are still 20 minutes!" In fact, it still takes two hours ‼ ️Personal suggestions are as follows: 1️⃣If you don’t want to climb so hard, you can spend 500 to buy a mule to ride, but you have to climb the last slope by yourself 2️⃣Buy a jacket with a liner (it’s hot in the sun and cold without the sun) 3️⃣There are people selling daily necessities on the upper Yubeng and there are more food and more lively on the lower Yubeng 4️⃣Be sure to get down the mountain before dark 5️⃣Girls should bring a warm water cup 6️⃣If you have altitude sickness, you must buy an oxygen cylinder and take medicine 7️⃣Please eat more clean carbohydrates 1 hour before climbing because your body needs glycogen 8️⃣Ensure good sleep, don’t stay up late, and don’t drink red moo 9️⃣Use trekking poles to protect your knees when going down the mountain and you can use them as leverage 🔟Experience this process. After climbing once, you will feel that walking 20km a day is not a problem

The Divine Waterfall, Ice Lake and Nylon Canyon are all the best choices for hiking enthusiasts. Yubeng is divided into Upper Yubeng Village and Lower Yubeng Village. It has not yet been developed on a large scale. The road leading into the village is rugged and has many sharp turns, so they have to convert their off-road vehicles to enter the village.
