Shangri-La 8-Day Travel GuideShangri-La Travel Guide

1. Shangri-La Shangri-La Travel Guide

I just visited Shangri-La in early August. I personally think it’s worth going.

Recommended Shangri-La Grand Canyon-Balage Jingzong Area. It’s best to have some rain in the morning, and the peaks in the scenic area are covered with clouds. It will be sunny around noon or afternoon and the clouds will slowly clear. It's simply a wonderland. Tickets are 110 and entrance fee is 60, it’s money well spent.

At present, only one area of ??Zhudu Lake is open in Pudacuo. I went in for a while and then came out. If I didn't, I would regret it even more. Don't go there. Tickets are 40 and 60. Personally I don't think it's worth it.

Songzanlin Monastery depends on my personal interests, so I won’t go there this time.

Meili Snow Mountain depends on luck. The full view is often not possible during the rainy season. It is recommended to go hiking in scenic spots. Yubeng Village and Mingyong Glacier are still worth seeing.

The ancient city of Dukezong in Shangri-La was burned down before, but now most of it has been rebuilt at the back. The ancient city is similar to Lijiang and Dali.

Hela is a wetland. If you are interested, you can visit it. I just passed by for a long time.

The Jinsha River is a big bend not far from Benzilan Town. The 10 yuan ticket to the observation deck has arrived. It’s okay to take a look.

Hope these are useful to you.

3. Shangri-La Travel Guide

It is not the right time to come to Shangri-La, besides, you will spend more than 4,000 yuan in 4 days; from Zhuhai to Shangri-La, It’s not very realistic; it would cost nearly 3,000 people to fly back and forth, and a four-day train or bus trip might not even be enough for a round trip. Paz's final advice is that if you have no money and no time, just stay at home and don't want to know Wenqing all day long.

4. Detailed Shangri-La travel guide

I have been to Shangri-La County in Zhongdian, Yunnan for 11 years. Take a bus from Lijiang and pass by Tiger Leaping Gorge and Blue Moon Valley. Blue Moon Valley was described in the novel "Lost Horizon".

1. In Shangri-La County, you can go to Guishan to see the largest prayer wheel in the world.

2. This ancient city, also known as Moonlight City, was later destroyed by fire.

3. You can go to Pudacuo National Park. Shudu Lake is really beautiful. It is a mountain lake. I'll show you the pictures I took before.

In 2016, I went to Shangri-La Town, which is Yading Village, Riwa Town, Daocheng County, Sichuan Province. Zhiwa Town was renamed Shangri-La Town. 055-79000 is the place to take photos.

There are no three big mountains in the scenic area, and you can also see snow-capped mountains. For the route, you can see the map below.

5. Shangri-La travel guide for free travel

Shangri-La does not accept short sleeves.

One is for cold protection and the other is for sun protection.

It’s very convenient. Recommend a jacket, cashmere sweater, and long-sleeved shirt. Even if it rains, don't go. don’t worry. Sneakers are the best. Get a sweater. If it rains and Shangri-La is cold, it can be used. If the weather is nice, wear short sleeves during the day and a jacket at night. If it rains, it will be cold if you wear sandals.

The temperature difference between morning and evening is large (12~15). Please pay attention to your clothes to prevent catching cold. The climate is relatively dry, so please drink more water when going out.
