Shangri-La formerly known as Zhongdian, in the southeast of Shangri-La County, there is a piece of open plateau pasture called small Zhongdian. Small Zhongdian is the southern gateway to Shangri-La, 214 National Highway throughout the territory. To the east, there are 5500 meters above sea level Haba Snow Mountain Q, and to the west, there are 4000 meters above sea level Thousand Hills, which extends all the way to the north of Shangri-La.
The azaleas here bloom around October every year. The rhododendron is the most beautiful color here when it falls in the spring.In July, the small Zhongdian pasture is in full bloom, with cows and sheep leisurely strolling for food, a tranquil and peaceful idyllic scene. In October, the poison ivy flowers begin to turn red. From a distance, they are bright and shiny.
China is a place of thousands of natural beauties. Whether it is high mountains, lakes or flowing canyons, there are many cases of wonders everywhere. Apart from that, China also has a lot of grassland scenery. If you have a grassland complex and want to run or recruit in the vast grassland, you must go to the Ira Grassland
The Ira Grassland is located 6 kilometers northwest of Shangri-La County, with a total area of 13 square kilometers. It is the largest and most beautiful grassland in Shangri-La, which means "Leopard Mountain" in Ila Tibetan. It is named after the legendary Leopard Mountain, located in the northern part of the gateway to the Yala Grassland, and is a "holy mountain". In fact, Bahai Q and Yala Grassland are one and the same. During the rainy season, there is plenty of water, and the prairie is covered by a lake, so it becomes a sea. In the non-rainy season, less water and more grass, the lake degradation, it became a grassland.
The grasslands of the Naqu River, Naizi River and more than ten rivers meander through the grass source, into the Napa Sea, forming the Napa Sea plateau wetland landscape.
From Shangri-La county town to Pudacuo, "you usually need to rent your own car, the road is good, you can take a taxi." Because Pudacuo is not too far from the county town, a direct taxi is also possible. But pay attention to go when it is best to meet with the same plane, and leave the driver's phone number, so as not to come back when you can not hit the car.
How to arrange accommodation in Shangri-La?
The first thing to consider when traveling to Shangri-La is accommodation. If you stay, it depends on whether your accommodation is in the ancient city of Dokuzong or the surrounding urban areas. If you stay in the ancient city, it is more convenient to buy tourist souvenirs or stroll around the night view of the ancient city. However, most of the guests in the ancient city are traditional adobe structures, and the light, sound insulation and comfort of the rooms will be relatively poor. But if you want to live in the grassland view room or mountain view room, you have to live in some remote places, and it is not convenient to travel. You can only eat in the hotel. If you want to live comfortably, it is recommended to live in the downtown business hotel or star hotel near the ancient city. Shangri-La accommodation is not very expensive compared to Lijiang, off-season generally about 300 yuan can book a good room.
At present, there is no railroad transportation in Shangri-La, only air and highway. But Shangri-La's neighboring cities of Kunming, Dali and Lijiang can all be used as options for traveling to Shangri-La. You can take a plane or train to Kunming, Dali or Lijiang, and then take a car to Shangri-La. However, currently most of them take a bus from Lijiang to Shangri-La.
The relatively small Shangri-La Airport operates flights from Zhongdian to Kunming and Lhasa. A group of tourists first identify their city, fly to Kunming, and then transfer from Kunming to Shangri-La. There are flights to Kunming from all major cities in China, and the number of flights from Kunming to Shangri-La is gradually increasing.
Downtown cabs start from 5 to 15 yuan airport. There are no special cars for each attraction. Songlanlin Temple can be taken directly in the city on the No. 3 bus. Other attractions basically have to charter their own car or carpool!
Because Shangri-La's wu-points are a long way away, shuttle times can vary, so before you go to an attraction, be sure to ask about transportation at the local station, including whether there's a shuttle and whether the roads are well-traveled. If you rent a car, you should set the price in advance.
Shangri-La's average altitude is above 3,000 meters, and everyone's physique is different, so some people here may have a plateau reaction, commonly known as plateau hypoxia. Try to carry an oxygen cylinder in case the reaction occurs with the increase in altitude.
Besides oxygen and gas cylinders, I go to Shangri-La in many seasons. If I don't bring thick warm clothes, I usually rent clothes from a store that specializes in coarse winter clothing before I leave. Shangri-La is cold all year round, with a big difference between morning and evening. It's a little warmer in the summer, but it still gets cold when it rains, so keep warm and beware of catching a cold.
For those who are worried about high blood pressure, you can prepare some high blood pressure medication and cold medicine in advance, but be sure to follow your doctor's instructions. Because Shangri-La has a big temperature difference between morning and evening, it is easy to catch a cold. Once a cold, it is easy to have a high reflex. And it is not easy to recover from a cold in the plateau area, and it takes a long time to get well.
In addition to medication, you can also bring a piece of chocolate, Snickers, lollipops and other sweets, which can effectively increase energy and prevent high reflexes!
Friends who usually like to drink a little bit of wine can't adapt well to their physical condition at high altitude, and drinking alcohol can easily lead to severe hyperreactivity. That's why when they go to a Tibetan's house as a guest, they have to control their drinking even if the atmosphere is high. They can only drink a little bit of alcohol, and they should never compete or drink too much to avoid accidents.
New to the plateau, you should not exercise strenuously. You should move slowly and gently. When you reach the grassland and other places, you should not run or jump. In addition, it is recommended that you drink plenty of plain water, eat properly, rest early at night and get enough sleep, which is the best way to reduce plateau reaction.
When you first arrive at the plateau, you should avoid bathing less. If possible, the first one or two days it is best not to take a bath, even if the bath should not be too long, so as to avoid the lack of oxygen in the confined space cold. Because bathing will consume more oxygen, and at the same time can avoid catching a cold to cause high reaction.
Many friends are eager to travel to Tibet once, but if you don't have enough time or ambition to visit Tibet at a higher altitude, then come to Shangri-La!
