As spring gives way to summer, the Meili Snow Mountain, which features the towering peaks of Kawagarbo, Miancimu and others, presents tourists a spectacular sight.

Standing in Deqin County, northwest Yunnan’s Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, the Meili Snow Mountain extends for 150 kilometers, with the 6,740 m Kawagarbo being the highest peak in Yunnan province.
