Tucked away in China's Yunnan Province, Yulong Snow Mountain is a place where natural beauty and cultural reverence rise together. Stretching across a chain of 13 peaks, its main summit, Shanzidou, soars to 5,596 meters, while glaciers, snowfields, and alpine lakes glisten under the sun. Forests and meadows shift with the altitude, creating a landscape of ever-changing wonder.

Often called the "Black and White Snow Mountain" for the striking contrast of dark rock and pure snow, it has long been considered sacred by local communities. Today, it is celebrated as a natural marvel, drawing visitors from around the world to witness its breathtaking scenery.

As the China-Africa Year of People-to-People Exchanges unfolds, CGTN Africa invites you to explore China's rich traditions.
