Meili
Snow Mountatin
 The
Prince Snow Mountain is seated at the west
end of the Baimang Snow Mountain, higher
and more elegant compared with the Bamang
Snow Mountain. The local Zang people (Tibetans)
regard it as a Holy Mountain. Each year
in autumn, the Zang people come from far
and near gathering here for Hajj the Prince
Snow Mountain. One thing we would like to
warn you is that climbing Meli Mountain
could be very dangerous. Several attempts
have been made to conquere Meli Mountain
since '90, but all failed.
In 1991, a Sino-Japan joint
climbing team were very close to the main
peak-Kawagebo when it began to snow heavely.
The team were forced to abandon the climbing
plan, and the whole team died in the way
of returning to No.3 Base of 5,100 meters
above sea level, including 6 Chinese and
11 Japanese, which marked the greatest sacrifice
in the history of mountain- climbing in
China. It's until in July,1998 that the
frozen corpses of the team were found.
The best season for visiting
the Prince Snow Mountain is in the summer
time and it must be clear day.
