Introduction

This is a must-pass place for climbing Mount Merie. Since ancient times, there has only been one horse and human trail leading to the outside, known as the "Shangri-La". Currently, there is no road that can reach here. To enter the Rainy Slide, there are only two post roads in the West and Nanfang directions, of which the West Dang post road is more convenient, but requires walking or riding a mule. There are two villages here, upper and lower, about one kilometer apart. The upper village leads to the Ice Lake and Xiaonong base camp, while the lower village leads to the Divine Waterfall and Divine Lake.
