Section AMeili Snow Mountain In Tibet, there are thirteen holy mountains, among which Meili Snow Mount is regarded as No.One because it is the only male. In Tibetan legend, the main peak of Meili, Kawa Karpo Peak (also named as Mount Kagebo), is a handsome prince. Every year in autumn, the Tibetans from Yunnan, Sichuan, Qinghai and Tibet will take a pilgrimage trekking around the holy mountain, to worship the prince, to pray for good future. To many Tibetans, this pilgrimage is the most important thing in their life, because they believe that trekking once they can get a lifetimes peace and safe, and if they can make this trekking for 3 times in this life, then they can go to the paradise after this life. Meili Snow Mountain towers over the landscape in the west of Deqin County ( Shangri-la ) in the Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture. Also known as Prince Snow Mountain , it is the most sacred mountain in the world. Meili Mountain has long been famous for Kawa Karpo Peak, which is in the shape of a pyramid, Yunnans tallest mountain --- 6,740m above sea level. It looks like the Peak is being covered in gold as the sun rises in the east, just as the British writer James Hilton describes in his famous book The Lost Horizon. There are thirteen lesser peaks around it---which are called Prince Thirteen Peaks, each more than 6,000m above sea level. Legend has it that Kawa Karpo Peak is the incarnation of a Tibetan God who helped the local people drive the evil spirit away. The mountains name means white snow mountain in the Tibetan language and it is named after a patron saint in Tibetan Buddhism. Its said that Kawa Karpo often rode a white horse with a sword in his hand. His majestic appearance was similar to that of the peak. It is also said that reaching the top of the Potala Palace, you would see the profile of Kawa Karpo through the colorful clouds. Every year from the end of autumn to the start of winter, thousands of Tibetan pilgrims walk to pay their homage to Kawa Ka
