Haba Snow Mountain is located in the southeast of Shangri-La County. The main peak is more than 5,000 meters. The top of the mountain is covered with ice and snow all the year round. It is surrounded by large glaciers. Many ice-stained lakes are formed at the bottom of the glaciers. Among them, the Black Sea is the most famous, and the surrounding scenery is also beautiful.
"Haba" is a Naxi language, which means "golden flower". In folklore, Haba Snow Mountain and Jade Dragon Snow Mountain are regarded as two brothers, and their sister Jinsha River flows between the two tall and straight snow mountains, forming the Tiger Leaping Gorge. Although the two snow mountains are next to each other, Habayuan Snow Mountain is not as famous as Yulong Snow Mountain, but perhaps because of this, the commercial atmosphere here is not very strong, and it is still a relatively primitive place.
When hiking in Tiger Leaping Gorge, you can overlook Haba Snow Mountain from a distance. If you want to watch it up close, you must first come to Haba Village at the foot of the snow mountain. .
For ordinary sightseeing, you can rent a horse from Haba Village and walk up to the vicinity of the Black Sea (about 5 kilometers from the base camp). The vegetation along the way is dense, and the ground is densely covered with ferns. The scenery is beautiful. It is recommended to go in May and June, which is the flowering period of azaleas. You can enjoy different types of alpine azaleas at different altitudes. The azaleas and snow-capped mountains complement each other, which is really beautiful. Visitors can walk through the flowers, commonly known as "flying on flowers", which is also a major attraction in the natural scenery of Haba Snow Mountain.
Most of the tourists who come to Haba Village come for mountaineering. Because the bottom of Haba Snow Mountain is steep, but the snow line above is relatively gentle, it can be regarded as an entry-level snow mountain in the mountaineering field. Starting from Haba Village, it usually takes two or three days to complete the summit push.

1. Although Haba Snow Mountain is an entry-level snow mountain, mountaineering is an outdoor sport in high-altitude areas after all, and there is still a certain amount of physical exertion and danger. In case of windy, rainy, blizzard and other weather that is not suitable for mountaineering, you can rest at the base camp and wait for a better opportunity, and do not venture out.
2. There are many Hui residents in Haba Village, so pay attention to respecting local customs when visiting.
3. Do not exercise vigorously in high altitude areas, pay attention to windproof and keep warm, and bring oxygen to prevent altitude sickness.
