The closest place to heaven 🪽🪽🪽🪽

🎬 Shangri-La is located in northwestern Yunnan and is the perfect combination of Tibetan culture and natural scenery. The best time to visit is from May to October, when the climate is pleasant. Must-see attractions: 🌏🌏🌏 1. Songzanlin Monastery: The largest Tibetan Buddhist monastery in Yunnan, known as the Little Potala Palace. It is recommended to go in the early morning to see the monks' morning classes and the golden roof in the morning mist. 2. Pudacuo National Park: Composed of alpine lakes, primeval forests, and meadows. Shudu Lake and Bita Lake are the highlights. 3. Dukezong Ancient City: A well-preserved Tibetan ancient city. The prayer wheel and Sifang Street are the highlights, and the night lights are beautiful. Food recommendations: 🥯🥯🥯 1. Yak meat hot pot: A local specialty with delicious meat, even better with wild mushrooms. 2. Butter tea: A daily drink in Tibetan areas. It is recommended to try a small amount for the first time. 3. Highland barley cake: A traditional staple food that can be eaten with honey or butter. Transportation tips: ✈️✈️✈️ - You can fly directly to Shangri-La Airport - It takes about 4 hours by bus from Lijiang - Taxis in the city do not use meters, so it is recommended to negotiate the price in advance Precautions: 🚨🚨🚨 1. The altitude is about 3,300m, so be careful to prevent altitude sickness 2. There is a large temperature difference between day and night, so you need to prepare warm clothes 3. Respect local religious customs and do not take pictures in temples Suggested itinerary: 3 days is enough to visit the main attractions. You can arrange 1 day for the ancient city + Songzanlin Monastery, 1 day for Pudacuo, and 1 day for Napa Hai or surrounding villages.
