Shangri-La Day Trip
Starting from Lijiang, the national highway leads to Tiger Leaping Gorge. The Jinsha River flows from north to south, parallel to the Lancang and Nujiang Rivers. At the "First Bend of the Yangtze River" in Shigu, Lijiang, the Jinsha River turns left and flows eastward, passing between Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and Haba Snow Mountain, carving one of the world's deepest gorges—Tiger Leaping Gorge. Tiger Leaping Gorge combines snow-capped mountains, canyons, and rivers, and is an important part of the "Western Yunnan Shangri-La Ecological Tourism Area," one of Yunnan Province's six major tourism areas, and the heart of the Three Parallel Rivers natural heritage site. The scenic area features snow-capped mountains, canyons, rivers, and travertine terraces. After lunch at Tiger Leaping Gorge, we travel to Yila Grassland, located 6 kilometers northwest of Shangri-La City. Covering an area of 13 square kilometers, it is the largest and most beautiful grassland in Diqing Shangri-La. Yila means "Leopard Mountain" in Tibetan, named after the legendary Leopard Mountain located to the north of the grassland's entrance, which is said to be a sacred mountain. The Yila Grassland is like a rippling blue ocean, covered with countless wildflowers, rose-red wild peonies, wild chrysanthemums, and various other fragrant wildflowers and grasses of unknown names. It is connected with the beautiful Napa Lake and the beautiful and ancient Yila Village, forming a beautiful picture.
Next, visit Dukezong Ancient Town. Located in the central part of Shangri-La City, Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, in Jiantang Town of the Zhongdian Basin, Dukezong Ancient Town was an important town and military garrison in the history of Shangri-La (Jiedi, Jietang, Zhongdian), and also a crucial post station on the Yunnan-Tibet section of the Ancient Tea Horse Road. Centered on Dagui Mountain, Dukezong Ancient Town expands radially, covering an area of 1.5 square kilometers. "Dukezong" is an ancient Tibetan name, also known as "Zongrao Dangabo" or "Daweizong," meaning "Moonlight City." It faces "Niwangzong"—the "Sunlight City" where the sun rises earliest—located on the banks of the Naihe River, creating a harmonious blend of sun and moon, and is known as "the sun and moon in one's heart." Finally, visit the Shangri-La Harmony Pagoda (Middle Pagoda). Located at No. 1 Yingbin Avenue, Shangri-La City, Diqing Prefecture, Yunnan Province, it is a landmark building and one of the largest Tibetan Buddhist white pagodas in the world. This white pagoda is not only a landmark for entering Shangri-La City but is also known as the "Window to Shangri-La." After the visit, the tour concludes in Lijiang.
