Located in Yunnan Province, Mt. Meili Snow or Mt. Prince Snow is one of the most sacred mountains of Tibetan Buddhism. In Tibetan language, its name is read as “Kang Karpo” which means the “God of Snow Mountain” and it has become the most holy spot for thousands of devout pilgrims who come here to worship by encircling it each winter.

The snowy peak and the golden sunlight that shines through the low-floating clouds forming various extraordinary shapes, adding even more mystical legend to the mountain.

Hanging glaciers, icefalls and snow slides are yet another striking sight! From the distance, Mt. Meili Snow appears as a gigantic white snake wriggling its way among the verdant mountain.
