Meili Snow Mountain | May good luck accompany you all year round
I saw a movie called 'Turning Mountain' a long time ago, and there is a line in it that I still remember. 'It is said that the first sight of entering Deqin, if you can see the thirteen peaks of Meili, you will be lucky for a whole year.', I saw it.
Transportation:
🚗Originally I wanted to choose the kind of itinerary that picks up people at 4 am to watch the sunrise over the golden mountain. But I felt too tired. And I don't know how good the drivers on the internet are, so I gave up.
🚙I didn't get a ride with a similar itinerary at the guesthouse.
🚌So I finally chose the bus, one way 3.5-4 hours, at 'Diqing Jiaoyun' ➡️ Wuyou Travel ➡️ Passenger Bus ➡️ Select date, select Shangri-La Passenger Station - Feilai Temple boarding point. The round trip points are the same. Arrive at the passenger station and the point 20 minutes in advance and there will be no problem. I put the screenshot at the end.
The driver of my trip rested at the Jinsha River Great Bay Viewing Platform, and I also took pictures. I chose the one that leaves at 9:20, and arrived at about 1 o'clock.
🏨: Eye of Meili
My photos p11-p16 were taken in the hotel room and on the balcony, on the 6th floor, the balcony is cornered. Because I use iphone and Canon g7x3 to shoot, although the cornered one is slightly obstructed, but if you find a good angle, there is no problem with the distance, you don't need to put it in the room to shoot. The effect is very good.
Arrived in the afternoon
So I went to Feilai Temple to pray, and when I came back from Feilai Temple, there was a small road up from the side of the viewing platform, where there were a lot of prayer flags. The wind was strong that day, and the Kawa Bo peak gradually revealed the mountain peak in the clouds, and the prayer flags fluttered, as if bringing the call from the distant mountains.
The viewing platform is now free, just go down. I took a few photos and decided to sit in the coffee car and drink coffee while basking in the sun, waiting for the clouds and mist to disperse.
I saw the weather and astronomy on the day, and I knew that I would definitely not see the sunrise over the golden mountain the next day, so I stayed up late to watch the stars, the sky was so good at night~ There was no cloud at all, and the clouds in the morning the next day... I was worried~
I was sleeping all the way back, I felt like I stopped three times, but I returned to the passenger station in a little over 3 hours, which was faster than the way there.
After returning to Shangri-La, I chatted with the innkeepers, and they all said that there were carpooling to Yubeng, and Yubeng 100% basically could see the sunrise over the golden mountain, let me try it when I have a chance. Everyone can also make a reference.
It was said in the public account of Hiking China, 'If a person is willing to spend time and energy to pursue the sunrise over the golden mountain, then to a certain extent, it represents that this person has a perception and pursuit of beauty and a kind of romanticism that does not compromise with vulgar life. Only a vigorous life has the opportunity to meet the sunrise, and such a person has the ability to turn misfortune into luck.'
I didn't see it this time, there will be next time, a lifetime is very long, I didn't see it this time, I will come again anyway~
