Live Your Best Lives
Yubeng, nestled beneath the Niancimu Peak and the foot of Wuzi Peak in the Meili Snow Mountain, is a place whose beauty defies description. At dawn, dusk, or even amidst the shimmering mist, it all feels like a fairyland. As you journey, you'll witness the mountains rising before you, carving deep gullies carved by time on the earth; the Lancang River surging through, washing away the dust of history. Atop the snow-capped peaks, shrouded in wind and snow, lies a secret path to heaven. Ancient ice and snow silently melt, washing away the dust of the world. The vibrant colors of the forest blaze ablaze, ablaze the world. Dappled sunlight filtering through the trees gently caresses the slumbering trees, counting the rings of time, one by one.
July: Awash in green, the scenery is vibrant. However, June and July are rainy season, making mountain trails more difficult. September-October: Buckwheat flowers bloom in August and September, and wolfsbane flowers turn red in mid-September, transforming Yubeng into a sea of flowers and creating breathtaking scenery. Mid-October to early November: The mountains are bathed in golden yellow, creating stunning autumn colors. This is also the peak season for viewing Meili Snow Mountain. December onwards: Snow is common, but the mountain may be closed around the Spring Festival.
In Yubeng, you'll need to hike to various scenic spots, so wearing fully waterproof hiking boots is essential. Wearing a jacket and pants is recommended; in spring, a single layer is sufficient; in autumn, add a fleece layer.
Due to inconvenient transportation, some daily necessities and food in Yubeng Village require manual transportation. As a result, prices are high, with a box of instant noodles costing between 10 and 20 yuan. Transportation is primarily by horseback, costing around 200 to 300 yuan. Accommodation is generally available at local farmhouses, costing around 200 yuan.
