The backdrop is : Meili, the Sacred mountain , also known as Shangrila ,(located in Yunnan, China)
has 13 peaks whose average height is 6,000 meters above sea level, named Taizi Shisan Feng, which means 13 princes peaks.
Among them, Kagebo is the highest peak in Yunnan Province, 6,740 meters above sea level.

Kagebo is still a virgin peak, unconquered by mountaineers. Since the first effort was made by a British climbing team in 1902, Americans, Japanese, and Chinese climbers have all tried to scale the mountain, but all attempts have ended in failure. A joint effort by Chinese and Japanese climbers to reach the summit in January 1991 ended in tragedy when all the team's 17 members died in an accident. Their remains were not found until July 1998, swept up by the glacier.
In year 2000, the China authorities pronounced this the Sacred Mountain, forbidding all mountaineers to conquer it. This is also the 1st sacred mountain officially acknowledged.

I am at least above 4000m + above sea level when taking this picture of my friends leaping into the air early morning, thereby the mist & morning mist. We stayed in a lodge right infront of the snow mountain so that we can view sunrise over the mountains & hope to have the luck at a glimpse of the Golden Peak when the early sun falls on them.

We of course won't missed the chance of having a JUMP of a lifetime right in front of this Sacred Mountain, though we are shivering with cold & enduring the high altitute symptons.
