The ultimate family trip! Off-season Meili Yubeng + Snow Mountain hotels, a unique adventure with kids～

Finally found a treasure spot for family trips with kids! It’s Shangri-La Meili Snow Mountain🏔️! Visiting in the off-season means fewer crowds, and you can immerse yourself with your kids in the charm of the sacred mountain～ We specially brought the kids to this “Sunlit Golden Mountain appointment,” said to bring luck for the whole year to those who see it. When the golden sunlight illuminates the snow mountain, my child excitedly hugged me—this feeling will be remembered for a long time～

The scenery here is truly breathtaking: the sacred snow mountain stands like a guardian, deep valleys hide countless surprises, flying waterfalls are spectacular, tranquil lakes reflect the surroundings, herds of cattle and sheep🐏 run across the grasslands, the sky is as blue as a gem, and temples shine with golden splendor… We made wishes facing the mountains, rivers, and sunlight, hoping this beauty will always accompany the kids as they grow. Seeing the sunlit golden mountain, all the expectations felt worthwhile～

Even more exciting, you can stay in amazing snow mountain view hotels🏨! Huge floor-to-ceiling windows☁️, open the window and the sacred mountain is right there. The kids spend a long time watching from the window every day, constantly saying “So beautiful.” This visual paradise is the ultimate enjoyment, truly perfect for family trips～
