Meili Snow Mountain Scenic Zone

Meili Snow Mountain in the east suburb of Diqing County is known for its main peak, the Kagebo, which at an elevation of 6,470 meters above sea leavel is the tallest in Yunnan. It is extolled as the "most beautiful mountain in the world". This Kagebo Peak is surrounded with 13 lesser peaks, and at its foot lies a modern monsoon maritime glacier, a geographical rarity, given its low latitude and high altitude. On the southern side of the main peak , a waterfall - known as "a deluge of rain and god - mandated cascade" among the local people - tumbles down from a breath - taking height of 1,000 meters. Despite the fact that man has long conquered Mount Qomolangma, the top of the Kagebo Peak, protected by perpendicular cliffs and foul climate, is yet to be visited by a human soul.
