Haba is a language of Naxi ethnic group which means the flower of gold. The Haba Snow Mountain and the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain are known as two brothers in folklore. The Golden Sands River goes between the two Snow Mountains from which the Tiger Leaping Gorge forms.

The highest peak of the Haba Snow Mountain is in 5396 meters (3.35 miles) height with ice and snow all the year round. Standing tall and straight with four small apexes around it, the peak of the mountain appears like a shining Royal Coronas. The snow apex is constantly changing along with the seasons, which makes the corona now appear and then disappear.

Haba Snow Mountain is easy to climb for its lower latitude, mild temperature, short climbing period, simple topography and zero crevasse. It is an entry-level peak for mountain-lovers in Yunnan. It is called the Yu Everest in Yunnan.
