This Meili Snow Mountain Travel Guide I. Transportation Guide Long-distance: Fly to Shangri-La or Lijiang Airport first, then share a car (Shangri-La: 138-188 RMB/person, 3.5 hours; Lijiang: 239-288 RMB/person, 7 hours) or take a bus to Deqin. Local: There is a free shuttle bus from Deqin County to Feilai Temple; to get to Yubeng Village, you can choose to hike (from Xidang Hot Spring to Upper Village, about 6 hours) or drive an off-road vehicle (200 RMB/person), saving energy. II. Key Attractions Feilai Temple: The best spot to view the sunrise over the snow-capped mountains, directly facing the peaks. Waiting from 6-7 am is recommended; some hotel rooftops also offer views. Yubeng Village: A hiker's paradise. There are two routes: the Upper and Lower Village Waterfall Route (6km round trip, 3-4 hours), suitable for beginners; and the Ice Lake Route (14km round trip, 7-8 hours), suitable for advanced hikers. Mingyong Glacier: Yunnan's largest and lowest-altitude glacier. A 2-hour hike leads to the foot of the glacier, allowing you to experience its majestic grandeur. Wunongding Viewing Platform: Prayer flags reflect against the snow-capped mountains, ideal for panoramic photos with fewer crowds and beautiful scenery, avoiding the crowds at Feilai Temple. III. Local Specialty Food Recommendations Main Dishes & Main Courses: Yak hot pot (firm meat, stewed with wild mushrooms, rich broth), Nixi earthen pot chicken (slow-cooked in a special earthen pot, tender meat), Tibetan pork (can be roasted or braised, fragrant but not greasy), Matsutake mushroom stewed chicken (limited to summer and autumn, delicious and flavorful). Specialty Snacks: Barley cakes (crispy with a barley aroma, perfect with butter tea), handmade Tibetan noodles (chewy and chewy, served with yak meat soup), fried dough sticks (similar to twisted dough sticks, sweet and crispy). Drinks and Snacks: Butter tea (salty or sweet, good for keeping warm and preventing altitude sickness), barley wine (rich and aromatic, warming and dispelling cold), Tibetan yogurt (fermented from yak milk, sweet and sour), yak jerky (chewy and easy to carry). Recommended Restaurants: Shouwang Meili Restaurant (locally certified, yak meat with butter tea is a must-try), Meili Specialty Hot Pot Restaurant (specializing in authentic yak meat hot pot). IV. Accommodation and Practical Tips Accommodation: For scenic views, choose a hotel with views of Feilai Temple (such as Meili Bodu Hotel, perfect for stargazing); for value, choose Deqin County (20-minute drive from Feilai Temple); in Yubeng Village, choose the Trekker's Home, with snow-capped mountains visible from your window. Practical tips: The best time to visit is from October to May of the following year, when you can easily see the golden sunrise on the mountains. If you are hiking in Yubeng in winter, you need to bring crampons. Essential items include a waterproof jacket, a light down jacket, high SPF sunscreen, and sunglasses. If hiking, bring trekking poles and knee pads. Respect the beliefs of the Tibetan people, do not point at the snow-capped mountains or step on prayer flags. Bring your own trash bags when hiking in Yubeng.
