- The mountain top under the cloudy sky.Meili Xue Shan or Mainri Snow Mountain is a mountain range in the Chinese province of Yunnan.The Meili are subrange of the larger Nu Mountains, themselves a constituent range of the Hengduan group. The highest peak is Kawagebo, which rises to 6,740 metres 22,110 ft. Kawagebo is considered sacred for Tibetan Buddhists. Other significant peaks include Mianzimu, Cogar Laka and Jiariren-an. Because of restrictions and dangerous conditions, none of the major peaks in the range have ever been summited. In January 1991, six Chinese and eleven Japanese mountaineers lost their lives to an avalanche, one of the worst climbing accidents in the world. Mingyong Glacier is located in the Yunnan Province, People`s Republic of China, The glacier retreated 200 meters 656 feet in four years. The region has also seen a rising tree line and these events are believed to be associated with global warming. The glacier is sacred to the local peoples. The glacier is fed by snows which fall on 6,740 m 22,107 ft Mount Meili, also known as the Meili Snow Mountain. Glaciers in China`s Tibetan region are melting at 7 percent annually.[3] At 28.5 degrees north and an elevation of 2,700 meters 8,858 ft, the glacier is located at the lowest latitude and elevation of any glacier in China.
