Before choosing where to stay

Where to Base

Base yourself in Feilai Temple or Deqin County Town. Feilai Temple offers direct, unobstructed views of the Kawagarbo peak, ideal for sunrise watchers. Deqin County Town provides better infrastructure and amenities for longer stays.

Getting Around

There is no commercial airport in Deqin. Access is via road from Lijiang or Shangri-La, taking approximately 4-6 hours. Mountain roads can be winding; choose comfortable hotels to rest after the journey.

Best Season

October to May is the dry season, offering clear skies and the best chances to see the 'Sunshine on the Golden Mountain' phenomenon. Summer brings rain and clouds but lush vegetation, suitable for hikers.
