【第41集】The Yubeng Village, Shangri-La October 2019 = Tibetan Village + Utopia =
Yubeng Village is a Tibetan village at the foot of Meili Snow Mountain, located about 30 kilometers (19 miles) northeast of Deqin County in northwest Yunnan Province. Yubeng Village at an altitude of over 3,000 meters (9,840 feet) is divided between the Upper Yubeng Village and the Lower Yubeng Village. There is only one road linking the village to the outside world and riding a mule or hiking have become the main ways to get to and from it. This is why Yubeng Village is such a great destination for trekking enthusiasts.
UNDERSTAND:
Yubeng Village is situated at the foot of the Meili Snow Mountain Range. From Upper Yubeng, trekkers have access to the Base Camp, and Ice Lake hikes. From Lower Yubeng, you can find the paths to the Sacred Waterfall, and if you are a hardcore hiker, Holy Lake, which from a higher vantage point, has an unobstructed view of the Kawa Karpo Peak (6,740 meters), and most of the rest of the mountain range.
Legend has it that for centuries Yubeng Village was unknown to the outside world. One day, an old man arrived in Xidang Village near Lancang River (the Mekong River) and tried to buy highland barley from the villagers there. No one knew where he came from, so some of the villagers followed him when he left, but on the way over the mountain the old man disappeared.
Later, the old man came back to Xidang to buy food again. The villagers objected and told him “we aren’t going to sell you barley or wheat, but just some millet.” When they loaded the food for the old man, one of the villagers made small holes on the bags. After he started his journey back home, the old man was followed again. He didn’t realize that the holes in the bags had spilled the millet along the way. However, when he reached a huge rock, he disappeared. So the villagers pried up the rock and Yubeng Village was discovered.

【第40集】Heading to Feilaisi, Shangri-La October 2019 = The Gateway to Yubeng Village =
Feilaisi (or Feilai Temple), literally “Flying Temple”, is an ideal place to view the east faces of the 13 peaks of the Prince Snow Mountain (太子雪山), also known as Meili Snow Mountain and Meili Jokul (梅里雪山).
Feilaisi (Feilai Temple 飞来寺) is a small Tibetan temple on the National Highway G214 dedicated to the spirits of Kawagarbo at 6740 meters (卡瓦博格峰), the highest peak in Meili Snow Mountain (Meili Jokul).
About 2km outside the monastery there is a growing number of inns and hostels to meet the increasing demand of tourists who come here to view Kawagarbo.
Feilaisi is located above the Mekong valley (澜沧江河谷) at an altitude of 3300 meters, about 10 km to the southwest of Shengping (升平镇), the seat of Deqin County ( 德钦县).
It has a geographical advantage to have a clear view of the east side of Meili Snow Mountain Range which is bounded by the Salween River ( Nujiang 怒江 in Chinese) on the west and the Mekong (Lancangjiang 澜沧江 in Chinese) on the east. The snow mountain rises about 10 km west of Feilaisi.
Kawagarbo, or Kawagebo Peak 卡瓦格博峰 in Chinese, is the highest peak of the 13 peaks of the Prince Snow Mountain (太子雪山), also known as Meili Snow Mountain and Meili Jokul (梅里雪山), a small part of the much more extensive Hengduan Mountains (横断山脉), the major north-south complex of mountains lying along the eastern edge of the Tibetan Plateau in eastern Tibet.
Kawagebo Peak is often billed as the most beautiful snow mountain peak in the world. It is one of the most sacred peaks in the Tibetan world, the spiritual home of a warrior god of the same name.
Kawagebo Peak is still a virgin mountain though several attempts have been made in the past by the mountaineering teams from China, Japan, the US and the UK. They have all failed mainly due to the extremely complicated geographical conditions and incremental weather.
Kawagebo Peak climbing has also caused heavy protests from the local Tibetan community due to the mountain’s cultural and religious importance. On 3 January 1991, a nighttime avalanche killed all seventeen members of the Sino-Japanese expedition, one of the most disastrous mountaineering accidents in history.
In 2000, the local government passed relative laws banning all future climbing attempts on cultural and religious grounds.

【第43集】The Glacial Lake of Yubeng October 2019 = I'm Freezing Cold =
Ice Lake is located at the foot of Jiangjun Mountain in Yubeng Village in Meili Snow Mountain, Deqin County, Diqing Prefecture. It’s 7 hours’ trekking from Yubeng Village and 1 hour’s trekking from the Base Camp.
Ice Lake is formed by snow water from Meili Snow Mountain, at an altitude of 4100m. It’s regarded as the holy lake of Meili Snow Mountain and is the main water resource of Yubeng Village. It’s typical moraine lake as a result of glacier movement. One side of the lake is the mountain mountain ridge, another side is the vertical cliff and dangling huge glacier. Climbing up the cliff to the main peak of Kawagebo. Huge glaciers and snows continue to fall off cliffs into glacial lakes and replenish them. Other glaciers spreading to the lakefront are spectacular. A startling interplay of blue sky and white mountain makes the Ice Lake be more like a paradise.
By Walk
Ice Lake is the end of the hiking route. It’s as difficult as treking to Yubeng Village and will takes one day. Start the trail from Yubeng Village will takes 7 hours to go there and back. Hiking along a narrow path nearby a stream, climb over a huge stone with a waterfall, then you will arrive at Ice Lake. There may happen to snow crash, so don’t approach the snowmelt point.
By Mule-riding and Walking
You can also ride a mule from the mule farm which is located between Upper Yubeng Village and Lower Yubeng Village. However, you just can arrive at Xiaonong Base Camp, then you have to walk. People are easy to get lost at the start point, it’s suggested to start your trail with a tour guide. There are service sites for a break and kinds of wild fruits. Trek up over the most steep slope, then you will arrive at the Ice Lake.
Recommended Hiking Route
The route: Yubeng Upper Village(3200m)- Xiaonong Base Camp(3700m)- Ice Lake(4100m)
The whole route is 24 kilometers for a round-trip, which would take 4-10 hours. The average hiking time is 7-8 hours. Get out of Upper Yubeng Village, go through a huge Marnyi Stone and enter into the woods, continue to trek along the left road near the river, you will get a small bridge soon. After the bridge, go up to the mountain. There are green garbage cans during the correct hiking route that can be regarded as signposts.

The Meili Xueshan Mountain Range as seen from Feilai Si village
In an attempt to catch a sunset and sunrise view of Yunnan's highest peak, the Kawa Karpo (6740 meters) and the rest of the Meili Xueshan range, we pressed on from Shangri-La to Deqin and its neighbouring village Feilai Si; a quite fascinating bus ride climbing over a mountain pass of well over 4000 meters above sea level.
This is as close to Tibet as we could get without actually being in Tibet (for which you need an additional permit as well as being required to carry a Chinese official tour guide in your pocket at all times).
While striving to keep warm, we tried out Tibetan butter tea (frightful), barley wine (frightful), and yak meat (delicious). The view we were hoping for was not forthcoming, as the highest peaks preferred to snuggle with the clouds. But the feeling my first glimpse of the Himalayas gave me made it a worthwhile sojourn.
