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 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.
