Biluo Snow Mountain

　　    Biluo Snow Mountain is also an extension of the Himalayas, belonging to the Hengduan Mountains. It forms the border between Gongshan County and Deqen County in the Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, as well as the watershed between the Nujiang River and the Lancang River. There are 15 snow-capped mountains with elevations exceeding 4,000 meters. The highest peak, Laowo Mountain, is the most beautiful among them, standing at 4,500 meters above sea level, with a relative height difference of 3,200 meters from the Lancang River.

　　    The ecosystem of Biluo Snow Mountain is remarkably well-preserved. The mountain experiences dramatic weather changes, is dotted with numerous waterfalls, and is home to a concentration of alpine lakes, earning it the nickname “Mountain of Ten Thousand Waterfalls and Thousand Lakes.” Around the transition from spring to summer, clouds rise from the mountain, and ascending to the summit to watch the sunrise or sunset is a truly spectacular sight. To the east, Yulong Snow Mountain, Haba Snow Mountain, Jinshichang Snow Mountain, Laojun Mountain, and Xuebang Mountain appear like small islands in a vast, turbulent sea amidst the sea of clouds.
