Pray @ Dafo Temple Shangrila

Dafo Temple (大佛寺) is another important temple in Shangri-La, located in the old town of Shangri-La (独克宗古城). Inside the building is a large Buddha statue. The highlight of this temple is the golden prayer wheel, which is 23 meters high. In order to spin the wheel to make a wish, many people must work together to spin it, which is a lively and impressive atmosphere. This temple is also a very beautiful viewpoint of the city. You can see the buildings of the old town in a wide angle. At night, it is beautifully decorated with lights. Tips: - Shangri-La is more than 3,000 meters above sea level. You should move slowly to avoid altitude sickness (AMS). #templetour #100waystotravel #shangrilachina #travelinChina 🏖️Environment/Facilities:
