Shangri-la travel guide

Shangri-La, formerly known as Zhongdian, has an open plateau pasture in the southeast of Shangri-La County, called Xiaozhongdian. Xiaozhongdian is the south gate leading to Shangri-La, and 2 14 national highway runs through the whole territory. There is Haba Snow Mountain Q at an altitude of 5,500 meters in the east, Qian Shan at an altitude of 4,000 meters in the west and Shangri-La in the north.

The azaleas here bloom around 10 every year. Rhododendron is the most beautiful color here in spring and autumn. In July, in Xiaozhongdian Ranch, flowers are in full bloom, and cattle and sheep stroll leisurely for food, which is a quiet and peaceful pastoral scene. In October, poisonous flowers began to turn red. From a distance, they are bright and bright.

China is a place with thousands of natural beauty. Whether it is mountains, lakes or flowing canyons, it is everywhere, and there are countless cases of wonders. Besides, there are many grassland scenery in China. If you have a grassland complex and want to run on the vast grassland or recruit people, you must go to the Aila grassland.

Ira Grassland is located 6 kilometers northwest of Shangri-La County, with a total area of 13 square kilometers. It is the largest and most beautiful grassland in Shangri-La, which means "Leopard Mountain" in Ira Tibetan. It is named after the legendary Leopard Mountain, which is a "holy mountain" located in the north of the gateway of Aila grassland. In fact, Bahai q and Ira grassland are one. In rainy season, there is plenty of water, and Dashaofen grassland is covered by lake water, so it becomes a sea. In the non-rainy season, there is less water and more grass, and lakes degenerate into grasslands.

More than ten rivers on the grassland, such as Naqu River and Naizi River, meander through the grass source and flow into Napahai, forming the wetland landscape of Napahai Plateau.

From Shangri-La County to Pudacuo, "you usually need to rent a car yourself. The road conditions are good and you can take a taxi. " Because Pudacuo is not too far from the county seat, it is also possible to take a taxi directly. However, you should pay attention to meet people on the same plane when you go, and leave the driver's phone number in case you can't get a taxi when you come back.

How to arrange accommodation in Shangri-La?

When traveling to Shangri-La, the first thing to consider is accommodation. If you check in, it depends on whether your accommodation is in Dukezong ancient city or the surrounding urban areas. If you live in an ancient city, it is more convenient to buy tourist souvenirs or visit the night view of the ancient city. However, most of the guests in the ancient city are traditional civil structures, and the light, sound insulation and comfort of the room will be relatively poor. But if you want to live in a grassland viewing room or a mountain view room, you have to live in some remote places, and it is not convenient to travel. You can only eat in the hotel. If you want to live comfortably, it is recommended to stay in an urban business hotel or a star-rated hotel near the ancient city. Compared with Lijiang, Shangri-La accommodation is not very expensive, and you can usually book a good room around 300 yuan in the off-season.

At present, there is no railway traffic in Shangri-La, only air and highway. Cities around Shangri-La, such as Kunming, Dali and Lijiang, can all be used as a choice for traveling to Shangri-La. You can go to Kunming, Dali or Lijiang by plane or train, and then go to Shangri-La by bus. But at present, most of them go to Shangri-La by car from Lijiang.

The relatively small Shangri-La Airport has opened flights from Zhongdian to Kunming and Lhasa. A group of tourists must first determine their own city, fly to Kunming, and then transfer from Kunming to Shangri-La. There are flights to Kunming in major cities in China, and flights from Kunming to Shangri-La are gradually increasing.

Taxi from 5 yuan, 15 yuan Airport. Not every scenic spot has a special bus. Songlanlin Temple can take bus No.3 directly in the urban area. Other attractions are basically chartered or carpooled by themselves!

Because the military point in Shangri-La is far away, the shuttle bus time will change, so before going to the scenic spot, be sure to ask about the traffic situation at the local station, including whether there is a shuttle bus and whether the road is good or not. If you rent a car, you should set the price in advance.

The average altitude of Shangri-La is over 3000 meters, and everyone's physique is different, so some people here may have altitude sickness, which is also commonly known as altitude hypoxia. Try to carry an oxygen bottle to prevent it from reacting with height.

Besides oxygen cylinders and gas cylinders, I go to Shangri-La in many seasons. If I don't bring thick warm clothes, I usually rent clothes from a store that specializes in thick winter clothes before I leave. Shangri-la is very cold all year round, and there is a big difference between morning and evening. It's a little warmer in summer, but it will still be cold when it rains. Keep warm and beware of catching a cold.

Friends who are worried about high drug resistance can prepare some drugs and cold medicines with high drug resistance in advance, but they must follow the doctor's advice. Because Shangri-La has a large temperature difference in the morning and evening, it is easy to catch a cold. Once you catch a cold, you are prone to high reflexes. Moreover, it takes a long time to recover from a cold in the plateau.

In addition to medicine, you can also bring a piece of chocolate, Snickers, lollipops and other sweets, which can effectively increase energy and prevent high reflex!

Friends who usually like to drink a little wine can't adapt well to their physical condition at high altitude, and drinking can easily lead to serious high reaction. Therefore, they should control their drinking even if the atmosphere is very high when they visit Tibetan homes. They can only drink a little wine, and they must never fight for it, and they must not drink too much to avoid accidents.

Just arrived at the plateau, you shouldn't do strenuous exercise. You should move slowly and gently. When you reach the grassland and other places, you shouldn't run or jump. In addition, it is suggested that everyone drink more boiled water, eat properly, rest early at night and get enough sleep, which is the best way to reduce altitude sickness.

When you first arrive at the plateau, you should avoid taking less baths. If possible, it is best not to take a bath for a day or two before, even if it takes too long to avoid catching a cold due to lack of oxygen in a closed space. Because bathing will consume more oxygen, at the same time, it can avoid catching a cold and causing high reaction.

Many friends are eager to travel to Tibet once, but if you don't have enough time or ambition to visit Tibet at a higher altitude, come to Shangri-La!
