A secluded snowy mountain paradise! Even zoning out alone feels amazing!

📍 Yubeng Village, Yunnan 🔥 The ultimate solo retreat ✔️ Daydream at the Snow Mountain Café Order a cup of butter tea and sit by the window, watching the Meili Snow Mountain bathed in golden sunlight⛰️ (Best spot: the corner on the second floor of Cat Café, framing the snow mountain and prayer flags together!) ✔️ Divine Waterfall Hike A 5-hour round-trip easy hike ending at a glacier-melt waterfall💦 (Hang a prayer flag on the way to make a wish—it’s very effective, but don’t litter!) ✔️ Starry Sky and Milky Way Photography Step outside the guesthouse at midnight and look up to see the Milky Way🌌, even your phone’s pro mode can capture it (Remember to wear down jackets, it’s freezing cold🐶) 💣 Pitfalls to avoid ✖️ "Off-road shortcut" scam: Anyone claiming you can skip hiking into the village is lying! You must either hike 6 hours or ride a mule (300 RMB, painful on the wallet) ✖️ Overpriced oxygen cans: Sold in the village for 60 RMB each, buy in Lijiang beforehand (20 RMB is enough) ✖️ Fake matsutake mushrooms: Many "specialties" sun-dried by the roadside are just shiitake mushrooms in disguise🍄 💰 Budget travel guide for about 500 RMB per person👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 ✅ Transport: Take a bus from Lijiang to Deqin (128 RMB), then carpool to Xidang Village (50 RMB) ✅ Accommodation: Choose a bed at Yubeng Hostel (80 RMB/night), open the window to see the snow mountain ✅ Free joys: ❣️ Barley wine offered free by villagers🍶 ❣️ Wild hot springs foot soak (bring your own towel!) 📢 "No phone signal here, but it cured my anxiety!" Key points, personally I think this place is perfect for— ✔️ Overworked 996 office workers wanting to escape ✔️ Warriors healing from heartbreak ✔️ Those who just want to be wild and alone ⚠️: 1️⃣ Bring cash! The whole village has only one ATM and it’s often out of money💸 2️⃣ Sunscreen! At 3000+ meters altitude, UV rays will teach you a lesson in no time🌞 3️⃣ Know your limits! Altitude sickness is no joke😵 “If you want to be isolated but not suffer too much, Yubeng Village lets your body be in hell while your eyes are in heaven!” 🌄 I won’t tell you, but 🤫 at 7 AM by the village entrance, you can witness the amazing sight of herders driving yaks to work (Remember to take photos silently!)📸
