📍Dukezong Ancient Town🏯
Home to the world's largest prayer wheel, the town is also filled with Tibetan-style shops, perfect for a leisurely stroll🥾🥾.

📍Songzanlin Monastery🕍
Known as the "Little Potala Palace," its golden roofs and red walls, combined with the chanting of scriptures, bring a profound sense of peace. Note⚠️: Photography is prohibited❌ inside the halls‼️

📍Napahai Lake🌊
With its stunning reflections of sky and clouds, and grazing yaks and sheep, every shot here is postcard-worthy📷. You can even ride a horse while chasing the sunset!

📍Giant Prayer Flags
As the wind blows, the prayers flutter, bringing blessings. There are actually two sets of giant prayer flags here—one is free, while the other charges🎫9💰. Feel free to choose.

📍Pudacuo National Park🏞️
Hiking enthusiasts shouldn’t miss the Shudu Lake loop trail. It’s quiet and less crowded, and you might even spot a little squirrel🐿️.

📍Meili Snow Mountain🏔️
How can you visit Yunnan without witnessing this breathtaking snow mountain🏔️? Check the weather forecast before heading there, as the "Golden Sunrise" isn’t visible every day. It’s convenient to drive or take a taxi from Shangri-La to Feilai Temple.

🏠Accommodation:
There are plenty of guesthouses and hotels near Dukezong Ancient Town in Shangri-La, with similar prices. It’s recommended to choose one with oxygen supply.

⚠️Tips:
⭕️ Shangri-La’s average altitude is 3,500 meters, so altitude sickness is common. Avoid showering on the first night‼️
⭕️ Consider taking Rhodiola or other altitude sickness pills like "Gaoyuan'an" before departure. Glucose is a must‼️ Sugar intake can help alleviate symptoms.
⭕️ The temperature varies greatly in high-altitude areas, so pack a windbreaker or light down jacket. Sunscreen, sunglasses, and a sunhat are essential—the UV rays are intense‼️ (Don’t skimp on sunscreen, or you might get sunburned!).
⭕️ Respect local religious customs—no photography inside temples‼️
⭕️ Opt for oxygen-equipped hotels and avoid prolonged use of air conditioning. Crack a window slightly when sleeping at night.
