Shangri-La, Yunnan 云南香格里拉
The Tibetan world at your doorstep.
Step towards Tibet.
Shangri-La, Yunnan 云南香格里拉. China’s gateway to Tibet. A taste of the Tibetan world. Altitude, monasteries and fresh air. Shangri-La 香格里拉 is commonly seen as the last stop in Yunnan before heading either into the Tibetan plateaus or rugged Sichuan nature. Home to the Songzanlin Monastery or ‘The Little Potata Palace’, Shangri-La 香格里拉 can teach you about Tibetan Buddhism. The city is surrounded by snow-capped mountains and offers a peaceful, sacred vibe. At an altitude of 3000m, the air is fresh and the cold is chilling. Yet, the city is commonly known as ‘an ideal home only found in heaven’ and it’s easy to see why.
