Shangri-La two-day tour guide Dukezong➕Napahai➕Feilai Temple Sharing of not-tiring travel experience ~ No special forces🫡🫡 I woke up from Lijiang at 90 o'clock and went to Shangri-La. I arrived at noon. The Shangri-La High Speed ​​Rail Station is quite close to the Napa Sea, so I chose to take a taxi🚗 to drop off my luggage at the manor🧳! ! Feilai Temple did not choose the early morning tour to go back and forth on the same day. I woke up and took the bus there, and stayed one night to wait for the sun to shine on Jinshan~ - A day in Shangri-La: 1️⃣Choose to stay in Napahai and give up Pudacuo The manor you stay at is located in Napa, and you don’t need an admission ticket 🎫 (if you don’t live there, you have to buy coffee ☕️ to enter). You can ride horses, take photos 📷 and see the lambs 🐑. I don’t think it’s necessary to charter a car or ride a bicycle. After a lap, the scenery is quite enough ~ and there are also small prayer flags. 2️⃣After playing in the afternoon, I went to Dukezong Ancient City to do makeup, eat, spin prayer wheels, and play around~ (You can just walk around by yourself, it’s quite big inside!) ✅68 yuan/package makeup is so beautiful! I love the little blue Dolma ❤️ (Take a look around, the ones at the door are expensive, there is a street with 68 bags of makeup, it’s so pretty!) ✅The prayer wheel has legs so you can climb up it, it’s not very high! ! When taking photos 📷You can choose the wrong camera position🎬➕The background of the beautiful picture is blurred, and the picture is included! ✅ There were 131/2 people in Yanuo Zang who went to eat. They were full. It was right under the prayer wheel and the view was great when sitting by the window~ ✅In fact, you can also choose to take a taxi to Songzanlin Temple, it’s not too far😀 - A day at Feilai Temple: Wake up in the morning and take a taxi🚗to take the bus for more than four hours🚌We will arrive at the Feilai Temple stop at one or two in the afternoon (get off at the observation deck, which is very convenient) ❗️The scenery along the way can’t help but admire the great rivers and mountains of our motherland. The driver will also rest for 30 minutes at the Jinsha River Dawan Observation Deck, so we can check in and take photos. ❗️I arrived at Feilai Temple in the afternoon and slowly watched the clouds recede, revealing the snow-capped mountains🏔️The sun sets in the west🌇The sunset over the snow-capped mountains feels so incredible~❗️The prices are okay, and there is food for 101/2 people watching Meili, the Eye of Meili in the off-season The view room on the 6th floor costs 400+ (if you are not satisfied with the room type, you can ask the boss if you can change the room. There is usually no increase in price during the off-season!). When the weather is good, you can see the sunshine of Jinshan when you wake up~ It was so sad not to see Rizhao Jinshan on the second day 😞😞 Then we took the bus 🚌 back to Shangri-La! If you stay one more day, you can actually go hiking in Yubeng Village, which is not far away~ - Transportation: Lijiang High-Speed ​​Railway🚄Shangri-La💰56/person Shangri-La🚌Bus to Feilai Temple 64/person Accommodation: 1️⃣Napahai-Shili Snow Mountain Margaery Manor 2️⃣Feilai Temple-Eye of Meri If you don’t want to take a small group to see Rizhao Jinshan Mountain at two or three in the morning, it’s actually quite good to stay for one night. The scenery is different every moment~

I saw a movie called 'Turning Mountain' a long time ago, and there is a line in it that I still remember. 'It is said that the first sight of entering Deqin, if you can see the thirteen peaks of Meili, you will be lucky for a whole year.', I saw it. Transportation: 🚗Originally I wanted to choose the kind of itinerary that picks up people at 4 am to watch the sunrise over the golden mountain. But I felt too tired. And I don't know how good the drivers on the internet are, so I gave up. 🚙I didn't get a ride with a similar itinerary at the guesthouse. 🚌So I finally chose the bus, one way 3.5-4 hours, at 'Diqing Jiaoyun' ➡️ Wuyou Travel ➡️ Passenger Bus ➡️ Select date, select Shangri-La Passenger Station - Feilai Temple boarding point. The round trip points are the same. Arrive at the passenger station and the point 20 minutes in advance and there will be no problem. I put the screenshot at the end. The driver of my trip rested at the Jinsha River Great Bay Viewing Platform, and I also took pictures. I chose the one that leaves at 9:20, and arrived at about 1 o'clock. 🏨: Eye of Meili My photos p11-p16 were taken in the hotel room and on the balcony, on the 6th floor, the balcony is cornered. Because I use iphone and Canon g7x3 to shoot, although the cornered one is slightly obstructed, but if you find a good angle, there is no problem with the distance, you don't need to put it in the room to shoot. The effect is very good. Arrived in the afternoon So I went to Feilai Temple to pray, and when I came back from Feilai Temple, there was a small road up from the side of the viewing platform, where there were a lot of prayer flags. The wind was strong that day, and the Kawa Bo peak gradually revealed the mountain peak in the clouds, and the prayer flags fluttered, as if bringing the call from the distant mountains. The viewing platform is now free, just go down. I took a few photos and decided to sit in the coffee car and drink coffee while basking in the sun, waiting for the clouds and mist to disperse. I saw the weather and astronomy on the day, and I knew that I would definitely not see the sunrise over the golden mountain the next day, so I stayed up late to watch the stars, the sky was so good at night~ There was no cloud at all, and the clouds in the morning the next day... I was worried~ I was sleeping all the way back, I felt like I stopped three times, but I returned to the passenger station in a little over 3 hours, which was faster than the way there. After returning to Shangri-La, I chatted with the innkeepers, and they all said that there were carpooling to Yubeng, and Yubeng 100% basically could see the sunrise over the golden mountain, let me try it when I have a chance. Everyone can also make a reference. It was said in the public account of Hiking China, 'If a person is willing to spend time and energy to pursue the sunrise over the golden mountain, then to a certain extent, it represents that this person has a perception and pursuit of beauty and a kind of romanticism that does not compromise with vulgar life. Only a vigorous life has the opportunity to meet the sunrise, and such a person has the ability to turn misfortune into luck.' I didn't see it this time, there will be next time, a lifetime is very long, I didn't see it this time, I will come again anyway~
