About the Attraction
Yubeng Village : Yubeng Village is a Tibetan village at the foot of Meili Snow Mountain, located about 30 kilometers (19 miles) northeast of Deqin 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.

Ice Lake : With an altitude of 3,800 meters (12,470 feet), Ice Lake is a dark green lake that is formed by the melting snow water from the Meili Snow Mountain. One side of the lake is the mountain ridge, another side is the vertical cliff and dangling huge glaciers that continue to fall off cliffs into glacial lakes and replenish them. The 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.
