When the mountains and rivers are no longer words in the textbook, but are under my feet

📍Meili Snow Mountain, Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture

At five o'clock in the morning at the Feilai Temple Observation Deck, the cold wind wrapped in snow particles brushed across my cheeks. The outline of Mount Kawagebo gradually appeared against the inky black sky, until the first ray of golden light pierced through the clouds and the snowy peak instantly burned into blazing gold - the "vertical zonality" in the geography textbook now turned into snow fog and eternal cold.

📸 Exclusive seats

① Sunlight on Jinshan Mountain: Set your phone to professional mode (ISO 100 + shutter speed 1/800s) to freeze the moment when the golden light splits the night sky

② Yubeng Village Prayer Flag Trail: Capture the prayer flags brushing against the light, and use the "Showa" filter to add a sense of storytelling

③ Gravel beach on the glacial lake: A wide-angle lens with trekking poles as the foreground creates an epic composition of "small people and big mountains"

The Nisi Earthen Pot Chicken at Deqin Inn: Matsutake and Tibetan pork are boiled for three hours, and the soup is as soft as silk

The circumambulator said: Walk around the White Pagoda three times counterclockwise, and you can hear the heartbeat of the mountain.

"The contour lines in the textbooks turned into numbers jumping on the altitude table, and the description of the monsoon turned into snow mist blowing in the face. It turns out that mountains and rivers should never be reduced to lead type, but let the soles of boots be covered with its mud, and let the pupils be filled with its morning and evening." - This is what Meili taught me #snowscape #skiing #Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture #Meili Snow Mountain
