[2024 Shangri-La Stay] Travel Guide for Floral Hotel· Shangri La langkangda B & B Hotel (Updated Oct)
A dreamy painting dyed by time, a glance at ten thousand years | Shangri-La.
Everyone should visit Shangri-La once in their lifetime. 💖
"Dukezong", the city of moonlight built on the stone, is also known as the "City of Moonlight". It seems to be a corner of paradise lost in the world. Although it lacks oxygen, it never lacks faith. When the melodious bell echoes in the air, the gentle and simple city of moonlight, like a painting dyed by time, the color of history is fascinating, and you can't help but indulge in it.
🎈Travel guide:
📍Moonlight Square: Located under Guishan Park, during the day, cute pigeons stroll leisurely on the square, adding a touch of agility to this world. At night, locals dressed in gorgeous Tibetan costumes sing and dance under the bright lights. There are also many resident singers next to it, the atmosphere is simply amazing! Here, you can forget all your worries and immerse yourself in this sea of joy.
📍Dafo Temple: Built on the mountain, it is magnificent. The two gilded roof temples on the left, under the sun, shine brightly, as if the Buddha's light suddenly appeared. Get up early, and you can also encounter the amazing sunrise over the golden roof. The golden light shines on the temple, as if it is covered with a sacred coat.
📍Prayer wheel: The prayer wheel in Guishan Park is the largest in the world! Turn it clockwise for three laps to pray for yourself and your family. Standing here, you can also overlook the magnificent scenery of the entire city and feel the unique charm of Shangri-La.
📍Sifang Street: From seven to eight in the evening, Tibetans dance the enthusiastic Guozhuang dance, and tourists join in, dancing together, feeling this unique national style. Here, there are no strangers and barriers, only joy and warmth.
🏠About accommodation:
I chose Huazhu·Langkonda at the east gate of the ancient city, which is convenient for transportation and close to Moonlight Square, which is very convenient for travel.
The environment is comfortable and quiet, the hotel design integrates Tibetan style and modernity, and it is exquisite everywhere.
The room is fully equipped with floor heating, humidifier, oxygen generator, etc., so you don't have to worry about the large temperature difference and high anti-problem.
The hotel restaurant is warm and comfortable, the breakfast is rich, and the first floor can enjoy "tea around the stove" with various snacks.
tips❗️: Shangri-La is located in the plateau area with an altitude of about 3200. If you are afraid of high anti, you can't take a bath or wash your hair on the first day. Don't do strenuous exercise just in case, always prepare an oxygen bottle, especially when climbing Guishan.

The Unescapable Shangri-La | A Tibetan Inn Through the Ages
April and May are the best times to visit Shangri-La
Fewer people, beautiful scenery, and the spring of the plateau is just right
Peach blossoms in the mountain temples are in full bloom, vegetation sprouts, and the oxygen content is high
This season is the perfect time for a trip to the paradise of Shangri-La

🍃The ice and snow are just melting, and the green grass and spruce are already lush
Lying on the green hillside
Watching the cute sheep🐑 in the distance and the sky full of clouds
It's really healing...
