The Scenic Route of G214 in Yunnan Province (Shangri-La → Lijiang)

Traveling from Shangri-La to Lijiang has become more convenient with the opening of the high-speed railway. However, I personally recommend traveling by car 🚗.

Why? Because National Highway G214 offers breathtaking views that you can only experience here.

From the stunning "Huxiang Supreme Viewing Platform," where snow-capped mountains and wildflowers create a mesmerizing scene, to the "Baishuitai," where layers of white terraced water reflect the sky to form a spectacular view, and the majestic "Tiger Leaping Gorge," this route is filled with incredible sights to delight your eyes.

If you're planning a trip to Yunnan Province, why not take this route?

▶︎ Route
