[quote=GUEST33196,453656]Jan.5, 2012 That looks like Meileixueshan in the town of Deqin on the border of Tibet and Yunnan. I have been there.It's one of the world's wonders, and as close to Tibet you can get w/o crossing the border. No permit needed to Meilei either. There are guest houses right where this photo was taken, where you can rent a room. The elevation is high. Fly into Kunming. You can then fly, take a bus or train (10 A.M. for best viewing up the mountain). Buses sway alot, some locals seem to get car sick, tons of hair-pin turns, up and down, up and down for hours. A train is relaxing travel and a good way to slowly acclimate to the high altitude. Stay in the Suhe Hostel or a guest house, just outside of Lijiang. Lijiang is overbuilt & crowded, no longer good. One day up to Meili through Zhongdian(Now renamed Shangrila.) I think Zhongdian may now have an airport. Zhongdian hugh Temple complex worth visiting. I think you can fly back down to Kunming. Happy wandering![/quote]
