A place lacking oxygen but not faith!

Shangri-La, which means "the sun and moon in the heart" in Tibetan, is the capital of Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in Yunnan. It is about 3,300m above sea level. The air is thin, but it is full of the power of faith and is known as the place closest to paradise. 🚘Transportation: Take a bus 🚎 from Lijiang for about 4 hours, or fly to Diqing Shangri-La Airport 🛬. Taxis 🚗 or buses 🚌 are convenient in the city. It is more flexible to charter a car to surrounding attractions. 🗺️Recommended route: Day 1: Dukezong Ancient City (prayer wheel, Tibetan architecture) → Songzanlin Monastery (Little Potala Palace) Day 2: Pudacuo National Park (Shudu Lake, Bita Lake) Day 3: Napa Sea (horse riding or hiking around the lake) → Visit Tibetan homes (experience butter tea and highland barley wine) 🥗Food: Yak meat hot pot 🍲 (hot Tibetan delicacy), butter tea 🍵 (salty or sweet), highland barley cake 🫓, Zanba 🍥, Tibetan fragrant pig 🐷. "Jing Jing De Ma Ni Shi" Tibetan Restaurant is recommended. 🌹Tips: Pay attention to sun protection and altitude sickness, slow down your movements, and prepare oxygen cylinders. The scenery in autumn and winter is gorgeous, but the temperature difference is large, so bring thick clothes. Respect Tibetan customs, and turn the prayer wheel clockwise.
