36 fantastic photos of the Baimang Snow Mountain

Baimang Snow Mountain, also called Baima Snow Mountain, stands in the mid-section of the Hengdgun Mountain range in southeast Deqin of Yunnan Province, between the Jinsha and Lancang rivers. Most of its perennial snow-capped peaks are over 5,000 meters. Zhalaqueni, the highest peak of Baimang Snow Mountain is 5,640m above sea level, while Xiaruoxiang, the lowest point, is 2,080m. From afar, the peaks look like a cluster of hurtling snow-horses, hence the name "Baima(white horse) Mountain" by local Tibetans. On its west and east are deep canyons carved from the Lancang and Jinsha rivers, while on the bank opposite the Lancang River are the 13 peaks of the Meili Snow Mountain.
