Yubeng Halal Travel Guide

Yubeng Village is situated at the foot of the Meili Snow Mountain Range. The village has 2 halves, Upper and Lower Yubeng, separated by a gorge; it takes about 45 minutes to walk from one to the other. From Upper Yubeng, trekkers have access to the Base Camp, and Ice Lake hikes (8 hours round trip). From Lower Yubeng, you can find the paths to the Sacred Waterfall (6 hours), and if you are a hardcore hiker, Holy Lake, which from a higher vantage point, has an unobstructed view of the Kawa Karpo Peak (6,740 meters), and most of the rest of the mountain range.

Legend has it that for centuries Yubeng Village was unknown to the outside world. One day, an old man arrived in Xidang Village near Lancang River (the Mekong River) and tried to buy highland barley from the villagers there. No one knew where he came from, so some of the villagers followed him when he left, but on the way over the mountain the old man disappeared.

Later and the old man came back to Xidang to buy food again. The villagers objected and told him “we aren’t going to sell you barley or wheat, but just some millet.” When they loaded the food for the old man, one of the villagers made small holes on the bags. After he started his journey back home and the old man was followed again. He didn’t realize that the holes in the bags had spilled the millet along the way. However, when he reached a huge rock, he disappeared. So the villagers pried up the rock and Yubeng Village was discovered.

Travel as a Muslim to Yubeng

The entrance to Yubeng costs ¥230 or ¥200 when purchased online.

The most popular way to get into Yubeng is to take a bus from Shangri-la to Deqin (¥70) and change bus to Fei Lai Si (¥20). Stay over night in Feilaisi and take a morning mini van to Xidang (¥25). Hike or ride a donkey (¥705, ¥235 to hill top) from Xidang to Yubeng.

There are four buses from Shangri-la to Deqin every day. They depart from morning to 2:30PM at the main bus station, which is in the north of the new town. Buy your ticket via eHalal Travel Group the day before if feasible. Look for the clock tower just above its entrance. Take the #1 local bus from the bus stop just in front of Wonderful Grocery Store, across the street from the Old Town parking lot.

There are also minivans outside the bus station that leave when full (the drivers are shouting "Deqin, Deqin!" to passers by). It's ¥80-100 per person. The minivans are a bit faster than the bus.

From Deqin, it is easy to get a taxi to Fei Lai Si (20 minutes) where you can find a guesthouse and make further arrangements to get to the start of the hike in Xidang Village the next day. There is also a public bus From Deqin to Xidang which leaves at 3 pm. Ticket from Deqing to Fei Lai Si is ¥20.

Hike from Xidang to Yubeng takes around 4 to 6 hours depending on ability. It is 12 kilometers up hill and 6 kilometers down hill. Along the trail going up and there are 3 rest stops each with a convenience store selling Red Bulls and instant noodles. To gauge your progress along the trail, read the number painted on nearby the utility poles. It is 105 poles up to the hill crest and 50 poles down to the village.

An alternative trail to Yubeng starts from Ninong. It is much longer and entirely uphill so best reserved for leaving Yubeng.

Trekking into and out of Yubeng cost a day each. Each sight in Yubeng (of which there are 3: Holy Waterfall, Ice Lake and Holy Lake) takes a day. Therefore, a typical trek at Yubeng takes 3-5 days round trip from Fei Lai Si. Budget an additional day on each end to get to and from Shangri-la where the nearest airport exists.

What to see in Yubeng

• Holy Waterfall - 神瀑, Shenbu | Rumored to cures all ills for people who bathe under it. The Water is freezing cold as it is snow runoff. Most visitors opt to circle the fall three times and drink the water. Starts from Lower Yubeng. 6 hours round trip.
