Where to go on New Year's Eve? In November, I was discussing this issue with my girlfriend, and our first choice was Shangri-La. At that time, it was decided: as long as there is no epidemic in Shangri-La on New Year's Eve, we will go to Shangri-La. Fortunately, during the New Year's Eve, Shangri-La really did not have an epidemic, and at the same time, we did not have an epidemic here. Perfect drop to realize this road trip.

Because there are only four days, we always have to improve efficiency. So, we booked a car in advance from a certain hi. After arriving at Shangri-La Airport, pick up the car directly, and the store is in the airport parking lot, which is very convenient to find. We rented a Rongfang this time, the car is very new, and the interior is super clean.

BTW, when renting a car, I found that their family also sold second-hand cars, and the price was quite appropriate, and I felt that I was promising to buy a car this year, haha.

About attractions:

In Shangri-La, you can play many attractions in 3 days, and you can play comfortably in 9 days. In short, you can play for as long as you want.

Although we only had four days, we still visited Feilai Temple, Dukezong Ancient City, Songzanlin Temple, Pudacuo Forest Park and many other attractions in Shangri-La.

About accommodation:

There are many inns in Shangri-La, and usually, these inns are well decorated. However, the kind of inn that is fifty or sixty a night, don't believe the photos on the Internet, it can be said that it has nothing to do with the actual situation. Even if you look at the room is spacious, it is actually shot from some angles.

Because of the epidemic, now about 200 can live in a good room. The key is to see if the inn has an elevator and whether the inn is on the side of the road. Some inns have a high altitude, and you have to walk a long step to enter the inn, which can be very tiring.

On the way to Feilai Temple, we passed by the White Horse Snow Mountain. From a distance, the snow-capped mountains are particularly beautiful. From this point of view, there are still two roads winding through the mountains like this, and the title of infrastructure maniac is really not covered. Although there are many peaks here, the road still extends far, far away.

We encountered a lot of good scenery on the way, for example, the Jinsha River is at our feet. For example, the Shika Snow Mountain, Baima Snow Mountain, and Meili Snow Mountain seen all the way in the sauna are extremely beautiful. No wonder many people are willing to climb snowy mountains. My favorite is the Jinsha River that appears in the textbook, and it finally comes into view at this time.

We stayed directly near Feilai Temple one day, and chose this place because of the good view and beautiful sunrise in the morning. If you're not sure about the sunrise time, you can ask the staff. The sunrise time here is relatively late, for example, our sunrise time was more than 8 o'clock that day. If this were inland, it would have been three poles a day.

Note that when visiting Songzanlin Temple, you are required to see the health code and itinerary code. If the itinerary code is marked with an asterisk, a negative nucleic acid certificate within 48 hours is required. Therefore, before leaving, be sure to understand the epidemic prevention and control policies of each attraction in advance.

There

are not many people in Songzanlin Temple and the ancient city of Dukezong, and it is estimated that the epidemic has indeed restricted the activities of many people.

When we arrived at Songzanlin Temple, we also found a docent to help us explain. The docents here are really patient, they will even teach us where the best places to take pictures, and at the same time give us a detailed introduction to the history of Songzanlin Temple. Listening to these explanations, you will have a clearer understanding of Shangri-La and Songzanlin Temple.

Pudacuo National Park is a very famous park in Lijiang, the ecological environment in the park is very good, not only can you see herds of cattle and sheep, but even some black pigs can be seen at any time. There are also various birds that cannot be named. And many birds have super beautiful feathers, which look beautiful and beautiful.

I thought we would play in Pudacuo Forest Park for an hour at most, but I didn't expect to walk around in it for nearly three hours.

This time I came to Shangri-La, and the luckiest thing was to see the super beautiful Rizhao Jinshan. I heard from the innkeeper that there are only more than 30 cases of Rizhao Jinshan a year, which means that we are very lucky.

When I drove to Napa Sea Wetland Park, I saw a beautiful scenery along the way. The roads here are narrow, so you have to be careful when driving. In addition, there is a large sea (inland sea) on the road we are taking, and migratory birds often fly over the sea. Although there are many seagulls here, they are generally more afraid of people. We also put the feeding aside, and then we stood far away.

While immersing myself in the quiet natural environment, I encountered another very exciting thing, there is a section of the road that is soaked on the sea, although it is relatively shallow, but you can see that the sea water has spread to the road, as if we are walking on the road on a rainy day. After passing such a road, I saw a road of about 500 meters, with a water depth of about 10cm. Because we rented an SUV, we were more at ease to drive.

Just like that, the beauty of the Napa Sea has been engraved in our minds. Yunnan, like Tibet, has beautiful and charming scenery everywhere.

I met a yak on the way, and the yak here is really bold, not afraid of people at all. We sat in the car and they stood on the side of the road looking at us.

In Shangri-La, I also think it looks good when I see Shika Snow Mountain and the White Pagoda. Especially the white pagoda here looks so good-looking. The building is all red, and there are a few golden birds on the roof, although I don't know what it is, but it can be seen from the photos that it is very exquisite.

yak rice noodles, butter tea are all common here. When I first started eating and drinking butter tea, I felt very awkward, but when I drank it the second time, I got used to it and even fell in love with it. In addition, there are highland barley cakes here, which taste very good. On the way back, we also bought some highland barley cakes to take back.

Do be careful when driving because there are many signs along the way that indicate areas of falling rocks and drive carefully. Moreover, the peaks and rocks here are really bizarre. The more such a mark I have, the more scared I become, watching every stone fall.

Lijiang's Tiger Leaping Gorge is also a well-known attraction, and it is said that due to the epidemic, Tiger Leaping Gorge was closed for a while. Anyway, the Tiger Leaping Gorge was open when we came this time. This attraction is very famous, and when there is no epidemic, many people from abroad will come here to play.

There are also some restaurants near Tiger Leaping Gorge, and we found a place to eat boiled fish. The most interesting thing is that this time I sat by the Jinsha River and ate it, which was very enjoyable.
