Reach the summit! This is a must-visit for your first snow mountain in your life.

Shika Snow Mountain, with an altitude of 4449.5 meters, is the only snow mountain in Shangri-La with a cable car, and it is not a dream to easily reach the summit. Shika Snow Mountain is a seasonal snow mountain. From November to April and May of the following year, the top of the mountain will be covered with thick snow. In the spring and summer seasons, the snow melts and the mountains are full of alpine rhododendrons, which is another beautiful scene. In addition to the pride of climbing the snow mountain, you can also overlook the Shangri-La city lying in the moon-shaped valley from the top of the mountain, with herds of cattle and sheep and curling smoke, a good paradise. Shika Snow Mountain is also a famous God of Wealth Mountain for two reasons: One is that Shika Snow Mountain looks like a big golden toad from a distance, and there is a natural boulder that looks like a golden toad between the top of the mountain. The second is because Shika Snow Mountain once mined gold mines, which were rich in output and once made it famous. 💕Travel strategy: 🚡The cable car of Shika Snow Mountain is divided into two sections: from the lower station to the middle station, and from the middle station to the upper station. It is recommended to take the two cable cars to the top of the mountain first, then go to the middle station to play, and finally go down the mountain. 🌟Important attractions🌟 Lower station: Qingke Shelf Avenue, Mani Heap Middle station: Yanaqingbo Ranch, Lingxi Lake Upper station: Alpine Flowing Stone Beach, Prayer Flag Platform, Small Golden Toad, Immortal Cave, Lost Canyon 🚗Transportation: Shika Snow Mountain is less than 10 kilometers away from Shangri-La city, and it is very convenient to drive by yourself or take a taxi. ⚠️Precautions - The snow mountain is high, and there are oxygen tanks for sale in the visitor center, which can be prepared in case of altitude sickness. - The wind on the top of the mountain is strong, try to wear windproof and warm clothes.

Shika Snow Mountain

Shika in Tibetan refers to a mountain abounding in red deer, one of the auspicious animals in Tibetan Buddhism. It is said when Sakyamuni began to preach Buddhism in the Deer Park, two deer listened to him attentively in knee-down posture. Therefore, deer stands for common people and is regarded as mascots in Tibetan Buddhism. It is the symbol of longevity and justice. So it is regarded as a holy mountain for the local Tibetans. #china #yunnantravel #yunnan #landscapes #mountains #shangri-la #awesomepic #unforgettableexperiences #travelinspiration #naturalwonders #backpacking #photographyheaven
