Deqin & Meili Snow Mountain
Deqin and the Meili Snow Mountain area are for travelers who want Yunnan to feel remote, dramatic and high-altitude.
The reward is sunrise over snow peaks, Feilaisi viewpoints and access to Yubeng hiking routes. It is not a quick sightseeing stop, so comfort with long drives and changing weather matters.
