Introduction Shangri-La Horse Riding

Introduction
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Shangri-La, known as the paradise on earth, has become the first choice for horse riding enthusiasts with its unique natural scenery and rich ethnic culture.

Enjoy the beautiful scenery of the plateau: Napahaila grassland, where wetlands and grasslands are intertwined, black-necked cranes dance gracefully, and the lake sparkles; in the mountains around Pudacuo National Park, you can travel through primeval forests and alpine meadows, explore nature on horseback, breathe the fresh and pure air, and enjoy the tranquility and leisure.

Riding on the Holy Snowfield: Shangri-La is covered in silver in winter. At the foot of the snow-capped mountains, the sound of horse hooves stepping on the snow creates a rustling rhythm. Riding on the vast snowfield is like entering a snowy fairy tale. The snowfield near Songzanlin Temple and the ancient temples are even more solemn against the backdrop of white snow. Riding on horseback, you can feel the wonderful fusion of religious culture and ice and snow.

Complete safety guarantee: Most of the coaches in Shangri-La are local Tibetan compatriots who are familiar with the habits of plateau horses. They will patiently teach you the skills before you get on the horse and will also give you advice on how to deal with altitude sickness. Keep a close eye on the whole process and ensure safety with superb skills; the helmets and protective gear are strictly in accordance with plateau standards, and special personnel will assist in wearing them in a standardized manner, allowing you to move forward fearlessly.

Multi-functional supporting facilities: The equestrian fields in Shangri-La are equipped with changing rooms, rest areas, dining areas, and other facilities. Regularly held Tibetan equestrian performances are full of vitality. The riders' agile postures and their seamless cooperation with the horses are truly remarkable. In addition, the quaint yak carts can take you to leisurely enjoy the scenery, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the joy of horseback riding in Shangri-La.

https://nephele.ctrip.com/target/01A1r120008h10oym91EF_W_10000_1200.jpg?proc=autoorient
In Shangri-La, walk alongside the gallant horses and embrace the highlands. Let this horseback journey become the most resplendent pearl in the depths of your memory. When you look back on it in the future, its radiance will never fade.

Gedan Songzalin Lamasery, 📍Shangri-la

During my trip in Yunnan, we did a night stay at Shangri-la and it was a memorable time.. We went to “Songzanlin Scenic Area”, which is a 20 mins drive away from the city of Shangrila and can easily catch a didi. The ticket for the entrance is 90 rmb which includes the bus ride towards the “Gedan Songzalin Lamasery”, which is one of the oldest Buddhist Monasteries in Yunnan. The walk up through the village towards the Monastery is absolutely breathtaking and the cultural architecture and the colors and just the atmosphere of the whole place is really worth a visit.. Its so tranquil sitting there and watching people wearing traditional Yunnan costumes and having gorgeous pictures taken 🤩🤩🤩 It was an amazing experience which I would never forget so if your in the area, you deffo need to spend the afternoon in this area and enjoy the atmosphere 🤩🤩🤩 📍Songzanlin Scenic Area 🕰10:00 - 18:00 💰 90 rmb #passionpassport

Yunnan | Tinas Hostel in Middle Tiger Leaping Gorge is great, I want to experience a youth hostel!

Yunnan | Tinas Hostel in Middle Tiger Leaping Gorge is great, I want to experience a youth hostel!

🚗 Shangri-La Middle Tiger Leaping Gorge International Youth Hostel is also called Tinas, and it is a youth hostel that can accommodate foreign tourists. If you take the direct bus to Middle Tiger Leaping Gorge, it will take you to this hostel. 🚗 A few years ago, I took a bus from Lijiang to Shangri-La, passing by Tiger Leaping Gorge. The driver seemed to be the owner of this hostel. At that time, I just walked around Tiger Leaping Gorge, and this time I came to walk the high road, so I thought I would stay here. Apart from being a bit far from the halfway hostel (1–2 hours' walk), everything else is very convenient, and the owner is very friendly. 🚗 Because I arrived late, I just asked for a bed, and I didn't expect to have a room to myself, with a view of the gorge outside. The only downside of the dormitory is that the toilet and shower are outside, so you have to go out, and it is a bit cold outside at night.

Shangri-La 3-Day Free Tour

📍Itinerary Introduction Staying in Dukezong Ancient Town, it's very convenient to take a taxi directly to the homestay entrance. The hotel owner is very enthusiastic and also helped us with our luggage, providing excellent service. 🚩Travel Route - In Dukezong Ancient Town, there are people dancing every night💃, creating a great atmosphere. We visited Songzanlin Monastery and coincidentally encountered the Gedong Festival. The most memorable part was chatting with the Didi driver and meeting local residents from the Tibetan, Bai, and Lisu ethnic groups. 🏖️Check-in Spots Pudacuo's scenery in late December is not particularly attractive, but it's a great place for a walk where we encountered some squirrels. 🚇Transportation - We mostly took taxis whenever we went out, which was inexpensive and very convenient. It's the best choice for lazy travelers. 📷Photo Spots - Rich in ethnic characteristics 🍜Special Cuisine - Tibetan cuisine mainly consists of meat, with large portions. Two girls couldn't finish a meal for two. We really liked the butter tea, and each place had its own unique flavor. 🏠Accommodation Recommendation Shangri-La Banxia Shiguang Homestay (Dukezong Ancient Town Branch) 💡Notes: In high-altitude areas, you still need to be careful about your physical condition and do what you can.

Tiger Leaping Gorge

Tiger Leaping gorge hiking tour is definitely a must when you are visiting a Yunnan province. It s definitely both mentally and physically challenging, depending on time you have to spend hiking. Actual Tiger leaping Gorge is a bit crowded, so if you want to enjoy hiking fully, you might consider to visit that first, than to go to the mountain. There s 2 path for hiking. Upper and middle tracking route. We did middle one, due to lack of time. We came to Naxi family Guesthouse by car, from there we climbed to the top of 28 bends, definitely most challenging part of the hike, and we came all the way back to Halfway guesthouse from where we organized a car to drop us back to the Qiaotou town. Tea horse guesthouse is definitely a must stay place, fat least for a beer or short break, but i would definitely recommend you to stay there over the night. Especially if you choose to hike couple of days, since full track is long about 22km. You have stunning view on Jade snow mountain. They seem unreal. So it’s definitely a recommendation to do this hike and to enjoy beautiful nature that Yunnan can provide. #gorgeousyunnan #jademountain #hiking #tigerleapinggorge #habasnowmountain #naxi

The unknown place in Shangri-La, Yunnan 🌞

It's about 1 hr card ride away from Shangri-La and then another card ride on a very bumby road only accessible with a special car. In order to explore this place you have to get a local guide that knows the way around and I was lucky that a friend passed me the contact detail. The guide was great and also cooked a meal in the shack you see on the pictures which was very authentic and unique. From the shack to the lake it's another 1.5hrs hike depending on your fitness level. All in all this is a full day trip from morning until early evening but totally worth it as you see untouched nature and hardly any tourists❣ #themepark#nationalpark#lakes

Tranquil Tibetan Style Ancient Town 🇨🇳

Tranquil Tibetan Style Ancient Town 🇨🇳

📍Dukezong Ancient Town, Shangri-la, Yunnan Province. Elevation: 3,300 meters above sea level. What a beautiful and peaceful ancient town. This place was our last stop in our Yunnan trip and what a way to just relax in a very chill place like this. The ancient town was not crowded despite the holiday season so going around isn't that hectic compared to Dali and Lijiang. There are many snack places, restaurants, hostels, and souvenir shops that you can enjoy while you are there. I feel like this place is not that commercialized so I actually like my experience here better. It is totally worth a visit! Enjoy your stay! Recommended length of stay: 2-3 days are enough.
