Unexpectedly, a casual shot turns out to be National Geographic-level scenery. Please keep this healing snow mountain guide 🏔️
🚗 Trip Highlights
- Viewing platform with a full view of the sunrise golden mountain
- Discover ultra-niche snow mountain photo spots
- Experience the Tibetan-style snowy secret realm
🌄 Must-Visit Spots
1⃣️ Feilai Temple Viewing Platform (Entrance fee 40 RMB)
This is the best spot to see the sunrise golden mountain. It is recommended to arrive before 6 AM to witness the spectacular scene of golden sunlight slowly dyeing the snow-capped peaks. Remember to bring a telephoto lens if you have one!
2⃣️ Wunongding Viewing Platform (Free)
A relatively niche viewing spot with fewer people and beautiful scenery. In the afternoon, you can often see the magical scene of clouds swirling around the snow mountain. A must-visit for photography enthusiasts.
3⃣️ Mingyong Glacier (Entrance fee 83 RMB)
You can get close to the glacier. The hiking route takes about 2 hours, accompanied by snow mountains along the way, perfect for glacier close-up shots.
4⃣️ Yubeng Village (Accessible by hiking)
A Tibetan village hidden deep in the mountains. The prayer flags and mani stones along the way, combined with the snow mountain backdrop, make for stunning photos.
📸 Photography Tips
- The half hour before and after sunrise is the golden time
- Use a telephoto lens for snow mountain close-ups
- Bring a tripod for time-lapse photography
- Cloudy and foggy days often produce even better shots
🏠 Accommodation Recommendations
It is recommended to stay at hotels near Feilai Temple. You can see the snow mountain right from your window. "Meili Past" Inn is recommended, with a viewing platform on the rooftop.
🍵 Food Recommendations
Be sure to try the local butter tea and yak meat hotpot. The Tibetan set meal at "Juesè Dianxiang" restaurant is very authentic.
⚠️ Notes
- High altitude, beware of altitude sickness
- Large temperature difference between morning and evening, bring enough warm clothes
