Meili Snow Mountain
The Meili Snow Mountain in the east suburb
of Deqen County is known for its main park, the Kagebo,
which at an elevation of 6470 meters above sea level is the
tallest in Yunnan. It is extolled as the ¡° most
beautiful mountain in the world ¡°. The Kagebo
Peak is surrounded by 13 lesser peaks, and at its foot lies
a modern monsoon maritime glacier, a geographical rarity, given its low latitude and high altitude. On the southern
side of the main peak, a waterfall-known as ¡°
a deluge of rain and god-mandated cascade ¡° among
the local people ¨Ctumbles down from a breath-taking height
of 1,000 meters. Despite the fact that man has long conquered
Mount Qomolangma, the top of the Kagebo Peak, Protected
by perpendicular cliffs and foul climate, is yet to be visited
by a human soul.
