Tiger Leaping Gorge
小小智想环游世界The canyon is towering and majestic, the stream is majestic, and I rushed all the way along the mountain path. I was in a very good mood. There were staff members at the mountain pass to remind me to change my tickets. The service was very good, and there were not many people in the scenic area. Overall, I felt good!
Balagezong Scenic Area
AAnonymous UserThe staff at Balagzong are very friendly, the shuttle bus is convenient, and the driver is friendly. The thousand-year-old Bodhi tree is spectacular. The road is really amazing. The Shambhala Pagoda is a sacred place. Recommended!
White Water Terraces
KKen走四方It takes more than 2 hours to drive from the city to arrive. At first, I was worried that the weather would be cloudy and I would not be able to take good pictures of the scenery. Unexpectedly, the scenery became better and better as I climbed up. Baishuitai is actually a deposit of calcified crystals. It sparkles in the sun, and the layers of terraces have different colors. Although not five-color, it forms a unique natural scenery with blue and white clouds, green trees and red soil. I have to sigh at the magic of nature's creation!
Dukezong Ancient Town
独独行舟Dukezong Ancient Town is the best-preserved and largest Tibetan settlement in China. In the Tang Dynasty (676-679 AD), Tubo built a fortress on the top of the Great Turtle Mountain here, named "Dukezong". The Tibetan pronunciation contains two meanings, one is "castle built on stone" and the other is "moonlight city". For the caravans crossing the Ancient Tea Horse Road, Dukezong Ancient Town is an important town on the Ancient Tea Horse Road and the first stop for the caravans after entering Tibet. The most worth seeing in the ancient town are the Big Buddha Temple and the prayer wheel. The Big Buddha Temple on Turtle Mountain was built during the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty. The prayer wheel was built in 2002 and is the largest prayer wheel in the world. The prayer wheel is a landmark building built to commemorate the renaming of Zhongdian to Shangri-La. The current ancient town is similar to the ancient towns of Lijiang and Dali, with inns, restaurants, shops, and travel photography shops.
Haba Snow Mountain
云云南户外徒步杨导Haba Snow Mountain is the highest peak in the World Natural Heritage Reserve.
With a sea of rhododendrons, steep canyons, rapids, primeval forests, and glacier meadows, it is also called "the most intuitive thermometer on earth and a refuge for China's rare and endangered animals and plants" by many scientists.
Although climbing Haba is challenging, due to the combined factors of altitude, climate, and topography, ordinary people can successfully reach the top if the weather is good, the body is in good condition, and the climbing equipment is complete. Therefore, this has become the first snow mountain in the life challenged by many snow mountain climbing enthusiasts.

Gaden Sumtseling Monastery
环环球6万里·只为遇见你Songzanlin Temple, known as the "Little Potala Palace", is not only the largest Tibetan Buddhist monastery in Yunnan Province, but also the Gelu (Huangjiao) center in Sichuan and Shanghai, which has a pivotal position in the entire Tibetan area. Here are my travel feelings about Songzanlin Temple and the reasons I recommend it to others: • Religious and cultural experience: Songzanlin Temple is a great place to get a deep understanding of the history and culture of Tibetan Buddhism. Here you can feel the piety and faith of the believers, experience the spiritual life and religious rituals of the Tibetan people. • Architectural art: The monastery is magnificent, colorful in shape, and the gold-plated copper tiles and moths walk the wall reflect the essence of Tibetan plastic art, known as the "Tibetan Art Museum". • Natural scenery: Songzanlin Temple is backed by Shenshan, facing Ramyangcuo Lake, and the lakes and mountains are interesting. It is a paradise for photographers. The plank road around the lake allows people to experience the Tibetan tradition of turning the lake while enjoying the beautiful scenery. • Mind Journey: Here, you can go through prayers, pilgrimages, and even meditation in front of Buddha, feeling the peace of your heart and compassion for the world, like Tibetans. • Folklore experience: Tibetan villages around Songzanlin Temple provide a rich folklore experience. You can live in Tibetan houses, enjoy customs, eat Tibetan food, sing Tibetan songs, dance Tibetan dances, and experience Tibetan lifestyles in depth. • Convenient travel: From Shangri-La County, you can take a bus or taxi directly to Songzanlin Temple, and the transportation is very convenient. • Note: You must observe local religious customs and etiquette when visiting, and visit clockwise. You must remove your hat and sunglasses when entering the temple hall. In summary, Songzanlin Temple is not only a religious pilgrimage site, but also a treasure trove of cultural and natural landscapes, suitable for travelers interested in Tibetan Buddhist culture, architectural art and natural scenery. I highly recommend it to those seeking spiritual journeys and deep cultural experiences.
