Diqing self-driving tour, the first heavy snow seen at Shambhala Pagoda

❄️The first heavy snow I saw this winter

It is in Balagzong of Shangri-La, where a vast expanse of white is seen at an altitude of 4,250 meters. The big mountain behind us is called Shambhala Pagoda, a naturally formed sacred mountain that resembles a pagoda. The sacred mountain is full of spirituality. Together with the three peaks of "Sitting Lama Statue" and "Scripture Statue" next to it, it is known as the Three Treasures of Buddha, Dharma and Sangha. It is the pagoda in the sky predicted by Buddha Shakyamuni after he attained enlightenment. Legend has it that it can eliminate people's own turbidity and karma, and is an important tool for spiritual practice that can help believers purify their minds and improve their realm.

The Shambhala Pagoda is considered a symbol of the "Shambhala Kingdom" in Tibetan Buddhism. In Tibetan Buddhism, the Shambhala Kingdom is considered to be a mysterious and beautiful place, a pure land and paradise, where there is no pain or troubles, only happiness and joy.
