📍Dukezong Ancient Town, Shangri-La, China

📍Dukezong Ancient Town, Shangri-La, China #summervacay ##china ##travel #staycation #familytravel #tibetanvibes ✨ Stepping into Dukezong Ancient Town felt like entering a time capsule. Nestled in the heart of Shangri-La, this charming Tibetan town is over 1,300 years old and filled with stories whispered through its cobbled streets, prayer flags, and wooden homes. I spent my summer vacation wandering the alleys, visiting ancient temples, and climbing up to the Guishan Hill to spin the world’s largest prayer wheel. The views at sunset were absolutely breathtaking, painting the rooftops with golden light. 🏯⛰️ What made it truly unforgettable was the warmth of the locals and the spiritual energy that surrounds the town. It’s peaceful, rich in culture, and the perfect escape from the modern rush. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a unique and soulful summer getaway! 📸 (Photo 1: View of Dukezong rooftops during golden hour) 📸 (Photo 2: Spinning the giant prayer wheel on Guishan Hill) 📸 (Photo 3: Traditional Tibetan architecture and colorful prayer flags)
