Shangri-La|Dukezong Ancient Town Come to the Moonlight City in your heart🌙

Dukezong Ancient City was built during the Tea Horse Road period. It is the best preserved city in the entire Tibetan area. The architecture is the most characteristic of Tibetan Buddhism. The altitude is about 3,300 meters. "Dukezong" means "Moonlight City" in Tibetan. Guishan Park in the ancient city is a famous local attraction. It is also the highest point in Dukezong Ancient City. There is a large prayer wheel in the park that is recorded in the Guinness World Record. It takes a lot of people to turn it together. The ancient city was built according to the mountain. The road surface is paved with stone slabs according to the terrain. It is naturally undulating. It is a token left by the caravans in the past. At night, you can go to Sifang Street Square to dance Tibetan square dance. It is very atmospheric. Time to visit the ancient city: 2-3 hours. Go to Guishan Park to turn the golden cylinder. Turn it three times clockwise to eliminate disasters and bring blessings. #Travel Good Place #Yunnan #Shangri-La

Guishan Park

Shangri-la, 香格里拉, in Yunnan's Tibetan region, really lives up to the name. I visited in mid-April 2018 and it was the perfect time to be there: it was sunny every day but not hot and the plum and other trees were flowering. Guishan Temple, 龟山寺, stands atop a small hill covered in these blossoming trees. At night it's garishly lit in changing colours but during the day the pink and white blossoms and gold roofs make it a beautiful sight. The temple complex is home to the world's largest prayer wheel, Zhuangjin Tong. Join the locals and tourists and help turn it! Shangri-la is above 3000 metres, so some people may experience altitude sickness here. Shangri-la is highly recommended though, and for spring blossoms, go in mid-April. #springblossomshangrila #urbanexplorer #springblossoms #sakura #shangrila #香格里拉 #云南 #yunnan #yunnantravel #temple #tibet #views #nofilter #photography #spring # 春天 #花 #梅花
