Meili Xue Shan

The Meili Xue Shan features thirteen prominent peaks, with Kawagebo reaching an elevation of 6,740 meters above sea level, bordered by Nujiang and Lancang rivers.

Several international climbing expeditions attempted to reach the summit of Kawagebo since 1902, with a tragic event in the 1990s leading to multiple casualties.

The mountains hold profound religious importance for Tibetan Buddhists, who consider climbing attempts on Kawagebo as acts against their spiritual beliefs.

Travelers need to obtain an Alien's Travel Permit and should plan their journey through Kunming to Zhongdian before reaching the mountain range.

The mountain range contains several unclimbed peaks, including Mianzimu at 6,054 meters, making it a subject of continued mountaineering interest.
