Diqing Tour (8) - Songzanlin Monastery

Songzanlin Monastery is located 3 kilometers north of Shangri-La City. The area surrounding Songzanlin Monastery is designated as the Songzanlin Scenic Area. Songzanlin Monastery is not a single temple but a complex of various temples of different sizes. The palaces of varying scales are built along the mountain, creating a picturesque scene, earning it the nickname 'Little Potala Palace.' The common feature of the halls in Songzanlin Monastery is their yellow walls, with the upper parts painted in dark red, golden roofs, and black or yellow curtains hanging on the doors and windows. Under the sunlight, the golden roofs of the palaces shine brightly, with crows soaring in the sky, tourists wandering between the palaces, bringing an atmosphere of auspiciousness and joy. Many young beauties or couples dress in Tibetan costumes to take pictures, their faces beaming with smiles. Songzanlin Monastery exudes a sacred and solemn atmosphere, contrasting with the secular attire and behavior of the tourists. This unprecedented combination of the sacred and the secular is being played out everywhere, 'like willow catkins floating in the wind, let's see where they return with the spring.'
