Navigation🧭 Napahai (Yila Grassland) Depart from Shangri-La to Napahai, passing through Songzanlin Monastery on the way, where there is an observation deck to take in the full view of the monastery. There is a lakeside road around Napahai, following which you can enjoy the stunning scenery where half is the sea and half is the grassland. Clothing Rental👔 It is suggested to rent the clothes in the Dukezong Ancient Town of Shangri-La before heading to Napahai, as the variety of clothes will be more complete and the makeup will be more exquisite than at Napahai. The price is also in the range of 80-110, including makeup and props for travel photography. There are many grasslands in Napahai, and there are many places to ride horses🐎, with different prices. During our lake tour, we stopped at a white pagoda to inquire and were quoted 180 per person for 30 minutes, which we decided to skip. Later, we continued on and stopped at a temporary tourist parking spot, where after bargaining, the price was 80 per person, and the scenery along the way felt like the best. It is recommended that friends look around more and be sure to bargain. The approximate playtime should be around 3 to 5 hours. It is suggested to return to Dukezong Ancient Town for accommodation at night. Precautions⚠️ There is no food available in the scenic area, so it is advised to bring your own dry food and water. The ultraviolet rays are very strong, remember to apply sunscreen. The sun🌞 is really very intense! The altitude is a bit high, so it is possible to carry an oxygen bottle as a backup. There are many vehicles on the lakeside road and parked by the roadside, be careful! Drive safely. Since you can't go to Xinjiang, why not take a series of grassland photos at Napahai. Photo Strategy📷 There are many horses🐎 and cows🐮 on the grassland, which are recommended as backgrounds. Make appropriate use of ethnic props. Ethnic clothing rental is essential to set the right atmosphere. Of course, good photos also need a good photographer.

📍The last stop, each one is a memory~ 1. Just got off the high-speed rail station and bounced excitedly. The newly opened high-speed rail, from Lijiang to Shangri-La is less than 50r💰. While waiting for the homestay pick-up, I communicated with Teacher He about photography composition, and the visual impact of Tibetans blending into the blue sky and red land. 2. On the way to Songzanlin Temple, I rented a set of Tibetan clothes (my set is 120r including makeup and costume, ordinary clothes can be 80r💰), and I felt like a woman like an eagle after putting it on. (Red is recommended as the most classic for shooting, I chose blue because it is special) I was praised by passers-by and asked for the store name in the ancient city hehe. 3. It's only thirteen yuan to take a taxi from Songzanlin Temple to the ancient city, and students can enjoy half price. If you have time, you can go to Napahai and take pictures with little sheep🐑 (I didn't go because I think the grassland is not good-looking in winter). 4. Speaking of food. I personally think the Tibetan food here is quite delicious, the prices are low and the folk customs are simple. An average of 50 per person can eat super full. 5. Walking in the Dukezong Ancient City at night, I found everyone dancing around. Most of them are young people, although they don't know each other, they will join the team whether they can dance or not (like me), the atmosphere is free and casual. I know I'm lucky, I always meet noble people on the journey. Everyone sits around the fire and chats in winter, and there are self-cooked butter tea and cheese snacks, which are warm and comfortable! 😘

🌥️Clouds above the monastery make the moment magical, even a bit mystical ! ⭐️ We went to a special Tibetan hot pot were you will be mixed with other Chinese tourist, dance and show are on the menu. (300 rmb/pers) The next day we went to monastery , visiting Napa lake and the old town. Try to find a local breakfast in a Tibetan family , you gonna enjoy yak tea milk, cakes and more .. worth every penny for the experience to go in a traditional house ! #香格里拉 #shangri #tibet #trip #temple
