Deqin County 소개
One of the most remote and dramatically beautiful corners of Yunnan, Deqin County contains the Meili Snow Mountain (Kawagebo), a range of seventeen peaks considered the most sacred mountain in Tibetan Buddhism. The main peak, Kawagebo, stands at 6,740 m and has never been summited — by government decree since 1990, respecting Tibetan religious traditions. Pilgrims from across the Tibetan world walk the ritual kora circuit over many days. The county also lies along the "Three Parallel Rivers" UNESCO World Heritage landscape where the Salween, Mekong and Yangtze gorges converge within 70 km of each other.

Climate & Best Time to Visit
High-altitude alpine. Very cold winters at elevation; mild summers in valleys (avg 13 °C). Heavy snowfall at altitude October–April.
가는 방법
Bus from Shangri-La (4 h) via dramatic mountain roads. No airport in Deqin — fly to Shangri-La Diqing Airport and transfer. Roads can close in winter.
실용 팁
Altitude sickness is a real risk above 3,500 m — acclimatise in Shangri-La first
The best Meili Snow Mountain sunrise view is from Feilai Temple at dawn — stay overnight nearby
Roads close in heavy snow (November–March) — check conditions
Tibetan custom requires counterclockwise movement around sacred sites
