Live Your Best Lives
Lately, the common greeting among friends is: "Have you had a yang deficiency?" Everyone's been cooped up at home for a while now, but we can finally get out and explore! With Spring Festival just a week away, watching the sunset and the stars with family, enjoying a heartfelt reunion dinner, praying at the foot of a sacred mountain, or having fun in the snow—soaring through the sky, paddling, or cycling along the beach—are all ways to spend the holiday!
Today, I'm recommending nine Spring Festival itineraries lasting four days or longer. The world is calling anew in the new year, and there aren't many spots left for the Spring Festival holiday. If you haven't decided where to go yet, come and grab some!
Yubeng is located in a high-altitude plateau area, with a large temperature difference between morning and evening. Each season has its own characteristics. Yubeng in winter is likely to take you into a world of ice and snow.
While the hike is a bit more challenging, it's also more challenging, isn't it? Take the toughest trails and see the most beautiful scenery. Bring your crampons and snowshoes, and the snow-capped mountains will be waiting for you.
Winter is also the time when you are most likely to see the golden mountain. The sun rises from the east, first illuminating the peak of Kawagebo, the main peak of Meili Snow Mountain, and then slowly moves downward, finally illuminating the entire mountain in golden light.
The whole process takes about half an hour for the mountain to return to its original appearance. Legend has it that if you are lucky enough to see the golden mountain in the sun under the protection of the gods, you will be lucky for the whole year.
The night in Yubeng is also not to be missed. Because of the snow-capped mountains, the sky is not as dark as ink. You can look up and enjoy the spectacular starry sky and the brilliant Milky Way. Yubeng in winter returns to its most original appearance.
