5-Day Shangri-La and Lijiang Tour

🌟🌟Tour Route
Day 1: Great Buddha Temple Prayer Wheel → Diqing Red Army Long March Museum → Moonlight Square
When you first arrive in Shangri-La, don't do any strenuous exercise. Take it easy, or you'll get altitude sickness. It's especially important when going to Turtle Mountain Park, because once you get altitude sickness, the rest of your trip will be difficult. When you go to sleep at night, make sure to insert the tube of the oxygen concentrator. Diffuse oxygen concentrators are useless.
Day 2: Shangri-La Yanlu Fuyang Bieyuan (Dukezong Old Town Branch) → Napa Lake Viewing Platform → Helong Bridge → Benzilan → Jinsha River Great Bend Viewing Platform → Baima Snow Mountain Viewing Platform → Baima Snow Mountain Pass → Wunongding Viewing Platform → A Tree Guesthouse (Deqin Feilai Temple Branch) → Feilai Temple
On the second day, you can rent a car and go directly to Meili. You'll pass many viewing platforms along the way. You can enjoy the scenery and take a break. It's recommended to bring a few oxygen tanks and take a few puffs when you have time to stay awake. The scenery along the way is very beautiful, but the mountain roads are winding and there are many large vehicles, so drive carefully.
Day 3: Deqin Photographer's Home Inn → Kawagebo Peak Viewing Platform → Xidang Village → Deqin → Dukezong Old Town → Shangri-La Station
Check the sunrise time and cloud cover on the app to see the probability of seeing the sun shining on the golden mountains. There's not much to eat at Feilai Temple, so prepare some food in advance, or you'll be really hungry.
Day 4: Jade Dragon Snow Mountain
If you want to take the cable car up Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, be sure to make a reservation in advance, because it's easy to not be able to book on site, and be careful of altitude sickness.
Day 5: Tianye Snow Mountain Panoramic Beauty Inn - Xianyun Xiaoyuan (Baisha Ancient Town Branch) → Baisha Ancient Town → Lijiang Old Town → Anlong Hotel (Sanyi International Airport Branch) → Sanyi Airport
