From Upper Yubeng to Lower Yubeng, then the waterfall, return around 16km.
This waterfall is a place the prayers must arrive at. The water comes from the melting of the snow on Meili mountain. So the prayers believe that the water is from immortal. When they arrive at the waterfall, they will pour a bottle of the immortal water and take it home. They believe it’s magic water that can cure any disease. I poured a bottle, but on the way back to Yubeng I drank the whole bottle because we were so thirsty.
