What people are saying:

We rented electric bikes to get here. Fun driving. But arrived quite late around 5.45pm. We only have until 6.30pm. After the entrance, we had to take the compulsory shuttle bus up to the temple. It was crowded so it’s hard to take any good photos left alone enjoying the sacred atmosphere in the temple. But the temple itself is great. I enjoyed every stairs up and every corners and turns. Should spend more time if you plan to come here so that you can wander around the village and the lake. Don’t just leave after the temple.

Yunnan Travel|You are the sun and the moon in your heart, falling here Songzanlin Temple, sitting in the car and looking at it from a distance, it is located under the blue sky, above the mountainside, magnificent, golden The roof is particularly eye-catching, and the more it gets closer, the more shocking it is. Go to the gate of Songzanlin Temple. When you look up, you can see the words "Shu Dan Songzanlin Temple" on the plaque. It is the meaning of "God's game of happiness". After crossing the gate, you need to step on 147 steps to reach the Zhacang Hall. With an average altitude of 3-4, climbing the 100-level steps, it is also panting, going halfway, looking back, you can look into the distant and open scenery, and you will feel refreshed. Standing at the height of the place, you can take the entire Shangri-La County town, it is shocking~ I can't help but think of a song by Wang Lihong: You are the sun and the moon in your heart, falling here, and the journey is superfluous. Just to meet you.

Today, I know that the Dandan Songzanlin Temple is the largest Tibetan Buddhist temple in Yunnan Province. It has a pivotal position in the entire Tibetan area. It is known as the Little Potala Palace. It is built on the mountain and looks like an ancient Fort, a collection of Tibetan plastic art, is also known as the "Tibetan Art Museum." There are many treasures in the Songzanlin Temple. When you approach each store, there will be a solemn sense of solemnity. When you turn the Buddha statue, the monks around you recite the Buddhist scriptures and are with you. This is a kind of What a sacred baptism. Ticket price 95.00 yuan opening hours 07

When I got up early, I couldnt take care of it, and I walked out of the door, only to capture the sunshine and the golden color of Songzanlin Temple. A week around the lake, it took more than an hour to walk and enjoy the beauty, and also exercised at high altitude!

Additional Information

Introduction

Sungtseling—or Ganden Sumtseling Monastery—is also known Guihuasi (Temple of Returning to Norms). It is a large Tibetan Buddhist monastery in Yunnan and is also one of the centers of the Gelug (Yellow) School of Buddhism. Built in 1679, the temple was given its name by the fifth Lama. Sungtseling is built into, around and on the mountainside. As it looks similar to the Potala Palace in Lhasa, it is sometimes affectionately called the Little Potala Palace. Because of the temple's many cultural and religious treasures as used in Tibetan Buddhism, this site is absolutely worth a visit.

It is a must see in Shangri-La. The huge monastery fills a whole hill and the three main chambers are huge with many statues and murals. Only for those that have an interest in religion and history.
