Sunshine on the plateau, endless fluffy sheep 🐑, and the exhilaration of galloping horses
Plus stunning homestays where you can see snow-capped mountains right from your window
This is the right way to experience Shangri-La～✨
💖Must-visit amazing experiences:
1️⃣ 【Adorably Overwhelming Animal Farm】
At a private ranch beside Napa Lake
🐑Little lambs eagerly come to you for carrots
🦌Sika deer gracefully rub your palm
🦙Cute alpacas even wink at you～
📷Best time: 4-5 PM! The sunset is super gentle and perfect for photos
📍Location: Xinsu Manor · Private Ranch (No. 30, Xiayue Group, Jiantang Town)
2️⃣ 【Hidden Hiking Trail with Few People】
Avoid the crowds at Pudacuo!
We took the housekeeper’s secret light hike to Shika Snow Mountain
Along the way, colorful prayer flags and wildflower paths are stunning 💐
3 hours to the viewing platform with a panoramic view of all Shangri-La❗️
⚠️Life-saving tip: Bring an oxygen tank at 4500 meters altitude!
3️⃣ 【The Joy of Galloping on Horseback】
Tibetan uncles on Yila Grassland offer horse riding
🐎The horses are very well-behaved, even beginners can easily ride
Gallop across the grassland full of gesang flowers
The snowy mountain backdrop looks like the default Windows desktop wallpaper 💻
🏡Highly recommend this heavenly homestay:
“Lismann | Xinsu · Qionglu Four Fields Oxygen Manor”
🌟270° snow mountain view rooms! Lie in bed and watch the sunlight on the golden mountain
🌟Underfloor heating + oxygen machine + humidifier, altitude sickness doesn’t exist here
🌟Free Tibetan costume travel photography! The photographer finds angles that will make you cry
🌟Yak yogurt afternoon tea—I could show off ten bowls 🤤
📍Address: No. 30, Xiayue Group, Jiefang Village Committee, Jiantang Town (15 min from airport/train station)
🍲Foodie must-try:
▪️Tibetan yak hotpot (so fresh your tongue will want to swallow itself)
▪️Matsutake mushroom and native chicken pot (seasonal must-have)
▪️Handmade Tibetan barley cakes by Tibetan moms (fragrant, sweet, and soft)
🚗Travel tips:
▪️From Lijiang, it’s best to charter a car (4 hours direct, super convenient)
▪️The homestay offers airport/train station pickup, the housekeeper is very thoughtful
▪️Want to go anywhere? Just ask the housekeeper to arrange a car, super worry-free
I’m totally obsessed with this manor ❤️
Wake up naturally every day → cuddle alpacas → ride horses → have afternoon tea
This is exactly what a vacation should be like ahhhh
