Brief Introduction: With a height of 6740 meters, Mount Kagebo is the highest peak of the Prince Mountain (Meili Mountain), the Nushan Mountain Chain,and also the highest peak of Yunnan Province. It is situated on the west side of the Lancang River, within Deqin County,and characterized by its height, steepness and well developing glaciers.Among them, Mingyonglin is one of the lowest located marine glaciers in China, whose ice tongue descends from 5500 to 2700 meters into the virgin forest. Because of its craggedness, plenty of snowfall and various ice-snow landforms, it is very dangerous to climb up. So far the Mount Kagebo is still a virgin peak.
