Top 10 Best Things to Do in Shangri-La - 2024

"The south bank of the Tiger Leaping Gorge Scenic Area is the Yulong Snow Mountain. The main peak is up to 5596 meters above sea level, and the north bank Haba Snow Mountain is 5396 meters above sea level. Due to the tight constraints of the mountains on both sides of the Straits, the river is only more than 50 meters wide after entering the Gorge. The narrowest place is the tiger leopard leaping over, so it is called the Tiger Leaping Gorge. The canyon is 80 kilometers away from the downtown area of Lijiang City. The canyon is upstream of the Jinsha River. It is 17 kilometers long and 25 kilometers on the roundabout road. The vertical height difference of the canyon is more than 3,900 meters. It is one of the deepest canyons in the world. Due to the landslide, the current boulders have been left, resulting in more rough water. It is divided into three sections: upper tiger jump, middle tiger jump, and lower tiger jump. The main scenic spot of Tiger Leaping Gorge is upper tiger jump. Lijiang (and Shangri-La) passenger terminals have buses to the scenic spot for two hours. The scenic spot can be played in about 1 hour, and the steps can be down to the canyon in more than ten minutes. The tiger jumping scenic spot, the passage of the Jinsha River is very powerful. The bus can also go to the Tiger Jump on the way, but the Tiger Jump is a hiking route, not a scenic spot, half an hour from the Zhang teacher inn to the canyon, and then climb up for 1.5 hours (or the 168-level ladder climbs up faster), this route will be a bit tired, the scenery is worse than the Tiger Jump, the river is not so powerful."

"Buy tickets for Songzanlin Temple on Ctrip.com, including tickets, round-trip transportation, explanation, 90 yuan/person. The parking lot at the entrance of the scenic spot is relatively large, parking is convenient, the temple is built on the mountain, and the momentum is like a rainbow. When I went there, the lake under the mountain was surrounded by fences. It should be repaired."

"The ancient city of Dukezong is the best preserved and largest Tibetan settlement in China. Tang (AD 676-679), Tuyu here set up a Zhaibao on the top of the big turtle mountain, named "Dukezong", a Tibetan pronunciation contains two meanings, one is "castle built on stone", and the other is "moonlight city". For the horse gangs who cross the ancient tea horse road, Dukezong Ancient City is a heavy town on the ancient tea horse road, and the first stop after the horse gang entered Tibet. The most worth seeing in the ancient city is the Big Buddha Temple and the prayer wheel. The Big Buddha Temple on Guishan Mountain was built during the Qing Kangxi period. The prayer wheel was built in 2002 and is the world's largest prayer wheel. The prayer wheel is an iconic building built to commemorate Zhongdian's renamed Shangri-La. The current ancient city is similar to the ancient city of Lijiang and Dali. It is a store mainly for inns, restaurants, shops and travel photography."

"The scenic spot is not big, the scenery is beautiful, friends say it is like Turkey.
