Hidden in southwest China's Yunnan Province, the Yulong Snow Mountain isn’t just a geological marvel—it’s a cultural heartbeat for the Naxi people. 🌍 With its peaks soaring to 5,596 meters, this snow-capped giant defies expectations by staying icy year-round, even near the equator! ❄️
Nicknamed the 'Silver Dragon' for its glistening ridges, the mountain’s snow line starts at 4,800 meters, creating a dreamlike contrast against the emerald spruce forests below. 🌲✨ Local legends say the slopes hold ancient Naxi wisdom, making it a spiritual sanctuary as much as a natural one.
This Labor Day, CGTN’s live broadcast (Ep. 3) offers front-row seats to its grandeur. Whether you’re a traveler craving adventure or a culture buff seeking stories, Yulong is nature’s ultimate multitasker. 📸💬
