  • Prince (Taizi ) Temple in Meili Snow Mountain, Diqng

    Location: At the foot of the glacier in the Meili Snow Mountain range, Prince (Taizi) Temple is situated in the heartland of the mountain's foothills.

    Overview: Prince (Taizi) Temple太子庙 is a sacred site for pilgrims who come to pay homage to the sacred mountain. The temple complex is divided into two parts: "Gundui" (Upper Prince Temple) and "Gunmei" (Lower Prince Temple).

    Pilgrimage and Rituals:

    • Pilgrimage Route: The temple attracts numerous visitors year-round, with a constant flow of pilgrims and devotees performing rituals. When undertaking the pilgrimage, visitors follow a specific order: first visiting the Lower Prince Temple (Gunmei) and then proceeding to the Upper Prince Temple (Gundui).
    • Pilgrimage Rituals: Pilgrims perform their prayers and ritual activities at the temples, after which they trek up to the sacred glacier. For Tibetans, this trek to the glacier is considered a good omen.

    Access to the Glacier:

    • Travel to the Glacier: Reaching the Mingyong Glacier requires the assistance of local Tibetans, who use mules and other animals to transport visitors up the glacier. However, this transportation is limited to a single stretch of the journey.
    • Local Beliefs: According to local customs, since the mountain is considered sacred, pilgrims are expected to walk up the glacier to show their sincerity and devotion. This tradition reflects the belief that true reverence for the sacred mountain is demonstrated through physical effort and spiritual dedication.

    Visitor Information:

    • Temple Activity: The Prince Temple remains a vibrant center of worship, with a steady stream of people performing circumambulation (turning the prayer wheels) and other rituals throughout the year.
    • Preparation: Visitors should be prepared for a physically demanding trek and be mindful of local customs and traditions to fully experience the spiritual essence of the journey to the glacier.
