6 Days Haba Mountain (5396m) Climbing Trip-Mountaineering China

Introduction
Located in the southeast of Shangrila Yunnan province, Haba Snow Mountain is 5,396 meters above sea level, facing the Yulong Snow Mountain and acrossing the Tiger Leaping Gorge. "Haba" is the Naxi language, meaning the flower of gold.
To mountaineering enthusiasts, Haba Snow Mountain makes them better acclimatize because of its low latitude, high vegetation coverage and high oxygen among the mountains.
With an 2700 meters altitude difference, you can fully appreciate four-season changes during mountaineering: from virgin forests, to alpine meadows then to the sea of clouds above the summit.
Under good weather conditions, on the way from Base Camp to C1 and the summit, you get a better view of the Aden Moutain (6032m) in the north, Gongga Moutain(7556m) - the king of Shushan in the northeast, and Kawaboge(6740m) - the Meili Snow Mountain in the northwest.
