Day 4 Songzanlin Monastery, the Little Potala Palace of Shangri-La

Day 4
Today's itinerary wasn't tight. We mainly went to one place: Songzanlin Monastery, or Little Potala Temple. It's a replica of the Potala Palace in Tibet. It's a beautiful temple on a mountain. Unfortunately, they don't allow photography inside the temple. The Buddha statues are truly magnificent, and you can only take photos outside. The Chinese sisters here are all dressed in traditional makeup and beautiful costumes. At first, I talked to Noon about wearing traditional costumes when I arrived, but when I arrived... I was too lazy. 😄😄 After the temple, I didn't know where to go, so I went to a coffee shop with a beautiful view. It's located in the Shangri-La Ten Miles Snow Hotel. Outsiders must order one drink per person. The view is truly beautiful, and the coffee is expensive and not delicious. 😄 (The Americano was dark roasted, ordinary, and had no aroma or flavor.) It cost about 265 baht per cup. I hadn't finished it yet, so I walked over to take photos. When I returned to my table... oh, I'd already put my cup away, even though my belongings were still on the table. It was very windy here. We sat and enjoyed the breeze for a while before leaving. I was still thinking, Will I get sick with round eyes like this? In the evening, Noon couldn't survive. Her face and eyes were heavy and her body was hot, so she gave me paracetamol and fell asleep quickly...end of day 4. Oh...for dinner, I wanted to eat yak meat hot pot, but I went to the wrong restaurant. My life changed...it was the most unpalatable meal. 😅
