Depart for the Shangri-La in Your Heart

Shangri-La Transportation: ✈️ Land in Lijiang, then transfer to a high-speed train🚄 to Shangri-La 🗺【Itinerary】 Day1️⃣ Dukezong Ancient Town ➡️ Songzanlin Monastery ➡️ Napahai Lake Day2️⃣ Giant Prayer Flags ➡️ Pudacuo National Park Day3⃣️ Meili Snow Mountain🏔️ (Check the weather forecast before going!) 📍Dukezong Ancient Town🏯 Home to the world's largest prayer wheel, the town is also filled with Tibetan-style shops, perfect for a leisurely stroll🥾🥾. 📍Songzanlin Monastery🕍 Known as the "Little Potala Palace," its golden roofs and red walls, combined with the chanting of scriptures, bring a profound sense of peace. Note⚠️: Photography is prohibited❌ inside the halls‼️ 📍Napahai Lake🌊 With its stunning reflections of sky and clouds, and grazing yaks and sheep, every shot here is postcard-worthy📷. You can even ride a horse while chasing the sunset! 📍Giant Prayer Flags As the wind blows, the prayers flutter, bringing blessings. There are actually two sets of giant prayer flags here—one is free, while the other charges🎫9💰. Feel free to choose. 📍Pudacuo National Park🏞️ Hiking enthusiasts shouldn’t miss the Shudu Lake loop trail. It’s quiet and less crowded, and you might even spot a little squirrel🐿️. 📍Meili Snow Mountain🏔️ How can you visit Yunnan without witnessing this breathtaking snow mountain🏔️? Check the weather forecast before heading there, as the "Golden Sunrise" isn’t visible every day. It’s convenient to drive or take a taxi from Shangri-La to Feilai Temple. 🏠Accommodation: There are plenty of guesthouses and hotels near Dukezong Ancient Town in Shangri-La, with similar prices. It’s recommended to choose one with oxygen supply. ⚠️Tips: ⭕️ Shangri-La’s average altitude is 3,500 meters, so altitude sickness is common. Avoid showering on the first night‼️ ⭕️ Consider taking Rhodiola or other altitude sickness pills like "Gaoyuan'an" before departure. Glucose is a must‼️ Sugar intake can help alleviate symptoms. ⭕️ The temperature varies greatly in high-altitude areas, so pack a windbreaker or light down jacket. Sunscreen, sunglasses, and a sunhat are essential—the UV rays are intense‼️ (Don’t skimp on sunscreen, or you might get sunburned!). ⭕️ Respect local religious customs—no photography inside temples‼️ ⭕️ Opt for oxygen-equipped hotels and avoid prolonged use of air conditioning. Crack a window slightly when sleeping at night.
