 Hundreds of millions
years ago, Himalaya activity caused the formation of the Tibetan
Plateau and Hengduan Mountains on the current border of Tibet
and Yunnan. Among the towering Hengduan Mountains, is the famous
Holy Mt.Meili about l00 km long. The main peak of Mt.Meili is
the Prince Peak(6740m). Every year, many pilgrims come to pray
for good future. In 1902, an English mountaineering team failed
to climb it.
In l987, a Japanese mountaineering team failed to get to the top, they failed again 2 years later. Then in l991, the Joint Mountaineering Group of Japan and China tried to climb it again, but this time, they failed with the lost of ll Japanese and 6 Chinese members' lives. This joint group came back in 1996 again but also failed. After that, The Prince Peak became a holy mountain to both Tibetan people and mountaineers. The beautiful glaciers and towering shape of Mt.Meili is quite a sight to behold.
