[2025 Yulong Attraction] Travel Guide for Xianggelila Xionggu Sceneic Area (Updated Jun)

This restaurant is called Caisheng Restaurant 古城财盛餐厅. I had a chance to go to the old city and saw that this restaurant was quite crowded. It is right at the entrance of Dafo Temple, so I stopped by and was not disappointed. The menu is all in Chinese, but there are some pictures. The staff is very helpful. We ordered fried pork ribs, fried pork belly, seaweed soup, stir-fried vegetables, and bread to eat instead of rice. The fried pork ribs menu is very delicious. The meat is soft. It is sprinkled with fried crushed beans, which goes well together. It is also not expensive. We ordered many things and it was only 200 yuan for 4 people. If anyone passes by the old city, try stopping by and eating. You will not be disappointed! 🕰️bOpening hours: 09:00-23:00 📍Address: Guanyin Restaurant, Yunnan Province-Yangzhong Xianjiang Autonomous Prefecture-Fengzhong City-Guanyin Business and Culture Street South S-15 #Shangri-La Old Town #Shangri-La #Shangri-La Ancient Town #Get a discount without relying on luck

#TravelChina Songzanlin Temple or Tibetan Temple, a Lama temple that is more than 300 years old, has more than 700 lamas living there. It was built by the 5th Dalai Lama in 1679. It took 18 years to build and was completed by the Qing Dynasty Emperor. Songzanlin Temple is similar to the Potala Palace in Lhasa, Tibet, but its size is smaller. If the Potala is the center of the Tibetan people's hearts, Songzanlin Temple is considered the center of Buddhists in the Tibetan Plateau. You will experience Tibetan culture because this is a small Tibetan area. #Kunming #Songzanlin Temple #Tibetan Temple #TravelChina #PlanTravelChina

#GetDiscountsWithoutLuck Shangri-La, which is in Yunnan Province, China, has many places to visit. For those who come here, I recommend staying at a hostel in the old city. It's convenient to go anywhere. This accommodation is near Dafo Temple, so you can walk there. And let the host call a car to take you to various places. This trip, I called a car to take you around for a full day. We went to Shika Snow Mountain, which is almost 4,500 meters above sea level. The view from the top is very beautiful. You can see all the other mountains, Napahai Lake, and end at Songzanlin Temple. Then we walked around and stopped to eat at a Tibetan-style restaurant at night. Transportation Currently, there is an express train from Kunming to Shangri-La, which is very convenient. Then you can call a taxi to drop you off at your accommodation in the old city. #TravelPhotos #TravelFromImages #TravelChina #Shangri-La

Shoes should be non-slip, waterproof, and snow-proof. We saw many people going down to the ground to measure their feet Various medicines, e.g. anti-allergy, pain reliever, fever reducer, stomachache and diarrhea, mineral salts, personal medicine if you have a chronic disease* Train tickets can be booked in advance online or bought at the station You can look for tour tickets or day trips there. The hotel staff can help you with everything. For chartering a car to move between cities, we asked the hotel owner there to help us find a price that we could afford. Accommodation can be booked in advance or found by yourself, which is not difficult. The entire trip, including tickets and visas, was roughly 23,000 baht per person, including food and accommodation. We split everything by 4. AIS's Sim2fly has a signal everywhere, no matter how high or how high, except when traveling between mountains, there is no signal. Download the Google Translate and WeChat apps to talk to people there. When we went, we exchanged cash. We haven't used cashless payment yet (2019). Note: The people there are friendly and kind. They are not fierce at all. And we didn't encounter any scary bathrooms (our luck was good. We only used bathrooms in shopping malls and hotels. We managed our drinking water well. All of our male friends encountered horrifying bathrooms). #100TravelTips #TravelChina #TravelChinaByYourself #TravelChinaByYourselfNoTour #China #ReviewTravelChina #ChinaReview #Lijiang #Shangri-La #Yading
