2023-09-24 Early in the morning to the gas station to refuel, for some unknown reason yesterday, the car's water tank cracked, and today it needs to be repaired in Shangri-La. Xiangcheng is a large canyon, and the villagers all live at the bottom of the valley. Today's destination is Meili Snow Mountain. Xiangcheng is just a pass-by, without careful appreciation, it feels that Xiangcheng County is very quiet. After crossing this iron bridge, we arrived at Benzilan in Yunnan. We arrived in Shangri-La city before noon and went straight to the repair shop. We hope it can be repaired. After lunch, we went to Songzanlin Temple. Around 5 o'clock, we went to Feilai Temple, passing by Baima Snow Mountain, and stayed at a hotel near Feilai Temple.
