Meili Snow Mountain Sunrise & Wine

Watch sunrise over the sacred Meili Snow Mountain (Kawagebo) with a glass of Ao Yun. The mountain is considered holy by Tibetan Buddhists and has never been climbed. The vineyards grow in its shadow. This is wine with a view that no other wine region on Earth can match - a 6,740m unclimbed sacred peak catching the first light while you taste wine made at its feet.

Insider tips

• Stay at Feilai Temple guesthouse for the best viewing spot

• Clouds often obscure the peak - October/November has clearest skies

• Bring your own Ao Yun bottle - not available locally. Worth the effort.

• This is a pilgrimage site for Tibetans - be respectful of religious practices
