travelpug Says: The magnificent Meili Snow Mountain is what attracts tourists to Deqin. It is best viewed at Feilaishi area. There is a cafe and hostels at the area where you can stay and wait to see the clouds clearing off the peaks. I was fortunate that I saw the peak of Kawagebo, the...
travelpug Says: From Feilaishi, you travel further on the mountain road. You will meet the begining of Lanchang River (Mekong River). Mingyong is at the base of Kawagebo peak. There are some lodgings at the base. They are quite basic. There are some Tibetan houses around the area. It's...
travelpug Says: Feilai Shi is the name of a small temple out of Deqin town. It is also the best place to stay and view the magnificent Meili Snow Mountain. The temple is small. The door to the main temple is closed. It is dark inside. The air inside the temple is filled with scent of butter...
Mingyong Glaciers- Better see it before it dies!
matt10gonzalez Says: Who doesn't like seeing Glaciers?"Me. What's so great about it? You only like glacier for the name, the way it sounds. " My brother said. "And you pay a lot for it too, I rather eat!" Continued my brother, who weighs 200+ lbs.Well, whether you like glaciers or not, this...
hooiluangoh Says: It is like a pilgrimage. I am here to see Meili's Kagebo Peak, which is not yet conquered by any human being due to its unpredictable horrendous weather condition.The mountain is sacred to the Tibetans.From the conversations with one of the local Tibetan, I get the feeling...
jaypride Says: While we were sitting in the only bar/restaurant/the only place to chill and eat there waiting to see the famous sunrise of the Meli (it was actually 5 pm then.. so we have to wait for like 14 hours.....) the clouds started to gather and then rain and haze and snow and haze...
jaypride Says: After negotiating the price for our stay (its something you must do in China.. dunno why.. ) we went out to do our prayers. There were a bunch of girls there selling those "prayer kits" and they were all very nice and taught us how to do the prayers. 2 types of "kits"...
jaypride Says: It is a known fact that not every one who wants to see Meli can see Meli. Heard from the driver, that 2 japanese girls stayed there for 9 days and still couldn't see the secred Meli. (How do they get so many holidays...!!!)It kinda got me worried cuz we only planned to stay...

Anyone that fancies you: Stay in Feilaisi!
hooiluangoh Says: My room has got a view of Meili. It is new (2006 April). So everything is clean.Bathroom has cold shower only but the water is so soft I had no regrets. The innkeeper says hot water is available, but that's not true. It's solar-powered so is at the mercy of the sun and of...
Green Bird Cafe (or blue bird...?): The only place to chill out~~
jaypride Says: The one and only cafe / restaurant there, it has a nice balcony if you like to sit outside and get a good look at the Meli. But as cold as it was that day.. with all the snow and stuff.. we can only sit inside. As you can see in the picture, there's some kind of fire place...

The only reason to be here is Meili
This town is built in a valley. But there is nothing pretty about it. All the trees on the surrounding mountains have been felled (sad!). Oh it's got a market which is backed-up by a snowy mountain....

Deqin- Maybe it's really the Shangri-la!
-When Serious Gifted Cousin nearly died! Seriously- while she was on top of her horse, sitted safely in her saddle (With assistance help of course.), she thought she was safe and ready to enjoy!...

Deqin town itself is just a stop over before you proceed to the more beautiful scenery outside of the town. It is a small town. The bus terminal is located here. I think there are some lodgings,...
