Sinong Village & Sinong Glacier
斯农
A lesser-known hiking route on the north side of Meili Snow Mountain. It climbs from Sinong Village on the Lancang River to the foot of the glacier, with far fewer visitors than Mingyong.
Sinong Glacier lies north of Mingyong Glacier. It flows from the north slope of Kawagebo and is one of the major glaciers of Meili Snow Mountain. Most visitors start from Sinong Village. The climb passes pastures and primeval forest and takes about 4 to 5 hours to reach a glacier viewing platform. The round trip takes a full day, and you can also spend the night in a wooden hut on the pasture. There are no scenic-area facilities on the route, so hire a local guide from the village or ride a mule, and bring plenty of water and dry food. Sinong Village is about one hour's drive from Deqin County Town along the Lancang River.
