Shangri-La: The Closest Place to Heaven!

Shangri-La is surrounded by sacred snow-capped mountains, trees, forests, and lakes, with cattle and sheep grazing on the ground and a clear sky above. It has always been a paradise in people's hearts and a must-visit place in a lifetime! Transportation: ✈️ By air: There are no direct flights to Shangri-La, so you usually need to transfer in Kunming or other cities. By bus: You can take a long-distance bus from Lijiang, Dali, and other places, which takes about 3–4 hours. 📍Must-visit attractions in Shangri-La 1️⃣ Dukezong Ancient Town: The best-preserved and largest ancient town of Tibetan dwellings in China, which is worth a visit. The square is lively with dancing at around 7 pm! 2️⃣ Songzanlin Monastery: The landmark of Shangri-La, known as the "Little Potala Palace", with Tibetan-style architecture, majestic and spectacular appearance, and exquisite and gorgeous interior. 3️⃣ Guishan Park: A few minutes' walk from Dukezong Ancient Town, with the world's largest prayer wheel. 4️⃣ Tiger Leaping Gorge: One of the deepest gorges in the world, with magnificent natural scenery. 5️⃣ Napa Lake: A vast wetland and a habitat for many rare birds. 6️⃣ Meili Snow Mountain: As the highest peak in Yunnan, Meili Snow Mountain stands majestically between heaven and earth, with snow-capped peaks towering into the clouds and beautiful scenery. When the golden sunlight falls on the snow-capped mountains. 🥘[Food Recommendations] Butter tea, barley cake, yak meat, and hot pot 💭Notes 1. The temperature difference between morning and evening in Shangri-La is large, so remember to bring a jacket. 2. Do not discuss local religious beliefs at will, respect the beliefs of different people, do not make loud noises in religious places, and do not take photos without permission. 3. The ultraviolet rays are also very strong, so be sure to take sun protection measures. 4. After arriving in Shangri-La, it is not recommended to take a shower immediately to avoid catching a cold.
