Shangri-La is a paradise on earth, no less stunning than Daocheng Yading

📍Ganden Sumtseling Monastery Ganden Sumtseling Monastery is the largest Tibetan Buddhist monastery in Yunnan Province and one of the most famous large monasteries in the Kham area. It holds a pivotal position throughout the Tibetan region and is known as the 'Little Potala Palace'. The monastery is built against a mountain and resembles an ancient castle, embodying the pinnacle of Tibetan architectural art, and is also referred to as the 'Tibetan Art Museum'. (‼The biggest 'pitfall' of Sumtseling Monastery is actually the ticket. Both online tickets and self-service ticket machines sell only one type of combo ticket for 90 yuan per person, which includes the temple admission of 55 yuan, round-trip sightseeing car for 20 yuan, and a guide fee of 15 yuan, but in fact, at the manual counter, you can buy them separately. Personal suggestion‼️) 📍Meili Snow Mountain: In the movie 'Paths of the Soul', Xiaochuan says: Meili Snow Mountain is made of 175 milliliters of milk mixed with 250 milliliters of fresh cream, and finally, two spoons of white sugar are added to make a huge ice cream. Meili Snow Mountain, a romantic, mysterious, and magnificent place. ‼️A strong recommendation, you must see the 'Golden Sunrise' over Meili Snow Mountain at least once. The feeling at that moment is unimaginable from pictures and videos. It is said that out of 365 days a year, only 40 days can witness the 'Golden Sunrise', and seeing it can bring you luck for the whole year! 📍Bottomless Lake: Shangri-La translates to 'the sun and moon in one's heart', a place with few people, niche beauty, and stunning scenery. As soon as you get off the car, you are healed by the clear and bright mountain forests and lakes, and the scent of the forest hits you. Nearby is a meadow full of yellow flowers🌼 and leisurely cattle and sheep🐑 (In the distance, there are layers of rich forests 🌲 and mountain peaks that appear and disappear among the clouds and fog ⛰️
