Bai Ma Snow Mountain

Deqin hits different if you love snow-capped vibes and epic mountain views 🏔️✨. You get blue skies, glaciers, and outdoor scenery that’ll absolutely level up your camera roll! If you’re chasing serious nature feels in Yunnan, make Baima Snow Mountain Yakou your main target.

Must-See Spot:
Baima Snow Mountain Yakou
📍 Location: Deqin County, Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture
⏰ Opening Hours: 06:00–18:00, all year round

Don’t miss catching the mountain at sunrise—nothing beats the icy caps glowing in early sunlight! Views from the pass are wild: you get glaciers, forests, and crisp fresh air (pro tip: bring something warm even if it’s sunny, the air up here is CHILLY 🧣). The trail has plenty of scenic stops for photos; go slow and soak it up. If you want even cleaner shots, come on a weekday morning—crowds are minimal and parking is super easy.

Getting There:
The easiest move is to grab a local taxi from Deqin (30–40 mins drive). Want extra scenery? Hitch a ride with a local minibus, which takes a bit longer but makes for a pretty authentic travel story!

Food & Survival Stuff:
Pack snacks and water—there’s not much for sale up at the pass. The best eats are back in Deqin—try yak hotpot or local noodles at one of the tiny roadside restaurants near the county bus station.

Quick Tips:
Cash or mobile pay are both chill; signal is weak so download maps ahead. Dress in layers—sun can bake but wind bites. No tickets needed for the Yakou pass!
