The new top spot at Meili! Dingyangding Back Mountain is absolutely stunning

Who understands! At Dingyangding Back Mountain, you can take in the entire Kawagebo’s golden sunlight and silver moonlight! 🌄🌙 This newly discovered private spot is so beautiful it leaves you speechless, sharing it with all light chasers! Compared to the crowded Feilai Temple and Wunongding, this whole mountain is yours, and every shot you take looks like a masterpiece. 📍 Location info There is a lesser-known hiking trail at Dingyangding Back Mountain (moderate difficulty, hiking boots recommended). It takes about 2 hours on foot to reach the best viewing platform with an unobstructed view, where you can see the thirteen peaks of Meili and face Kawagebo directly! You can also take a car; contact me via private message. ⏰ Best time • Golden sunlight on the mountain: Winter (November to March) has the highest chance. It’s best to arrive before 6:30 AM to secure the best spot. p8 • Silver moonlight on the mountain: On clear nights, after the moon rises (around 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM), moonlight shines on the snowy peaks, creating a silver fairyland. p9-p10 📸 Photography tips • Use a wide-angle lens to capture the full panorama of the snowy mountains, with foreground elements like prayer flags or mani stones for more depth. • For golden sunlight, use a graduated neutral density filter to balance the light; for silver moonlight, use long exposure to create a silky effect. • Outfit advice: wear bright-colored jackets (like red or yellow), definitely wear a down jacket and gloves! 💡 Notes • The altitude is quite high (about 4500 meters), watch out for altitude sickness, and prepare oxygen and warm clothing in advance. • The mountain roads are rugged; it’s recommended to take the villagers’ shuttle car 🚗 • Respect local culture: do not step on mani stones or leave trash behind.
