Baima Snow Mountain, also known as Baimang Snow Mountain, is located in Yunling Township, Deqin County, Yunnan Province. It belongs to the middle section of the Hengduan Mountains, Yunling Mountains. In the essence of the three parallel rivers, when Baima Snow Mountain splits the Lancang River and the Jinsha River with one hand, the straight-line distance from the Nujiang River is only 20 kilometers.

The highest peak of the mountain is 5,429.6 meters above sea level, covered with snow all year round. The area of 180,000 hectares that surrounds the mountain is a nature reserve, where complete vertical sight of virgin forest and rare plants and animals could be found. Black snub-nosed monkeys (Rhinopithecus bieti), a kind of animals under the first-class national key protection, live in the forest.

Baima Snow Mountain has 27 peaks above 5,000 meters above sea level. Its main peak, Zaraqueni, is 5,429 meters above sea level, while the lowest Xia Ruo Township River Valley is 2,080 meters above sea level. The distance between the two is less than 40 kilometers, and the height difference is as high as 3,400 meters.

The extrusion and expansion of mountains and rivers have made Baima Snow Mountain Scenic Area a "concentration" of natural resources—sparse shrubs and grassy slopes in dry-hot valleys, alpine pine forest belts, mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forest belts, subalpine dark coniferous forest belts, The alpine shrub-meadow belt, the cold desert belt with sparse vegetation on the rocky beach, the alpine ice and snow belt, and seven vertical bioclimatic belts are equivalent to the horizontal distribution of plants within a few thousand kilometers from north to south of China. Therefore, Baima Snow Mountain is known as the "Kingdom of Alpine Animals and Plants in the Cold Temperate Zone ".

The snow and ice belt above 5,000 meters in Baima Snow Mountain occupies only a small part. The vegetation coverage rate under the sky is extremely high, and there are exotic flowers and plants under the snow mountain. In May, when the flowers bloom, it is famous for the capital of Yunnan. The flowers and colors in the mountains are gorgeous, and under the majestic figure of the White Horse Snow Mountain, it looks even more delicate and charming; the birds in the forest are singing softly, echoing in the canyons. Walking in it is like a dream.

Baima Snow Mountain Nature Reserve is the largest Yunnan snub-nosed monkey national nature reserve in China. 27 species of cherished and protected animals and plants, including Yunnan snub-nosed monkeys, snow leopards, clouded leopards, and golden leopards, will be protected. Among them, the Yunnan snub-nosed monkey is a rare and endangered primate species unique to China. It is also a flagship species in the field of global wildlife protection and a key species for building ecological civilization and ensuring national ecological security.
