The City of Moonlight is here (Shangri-La - Dukezong)

If time permits, I will visit Shangri-La again. At an altitude of 3300 meters, it is indeed very close to heaven. If you are visiting the plateau for the first time, it is recommended to reduce the range of your movements to avoid altitude sickness. In April, flowers in Shangri-La begin to bloom, the grass is not yet green, and the temperature difference between day and night is still quite large. Pay attention to altitude sickness and keeping warm when traveling, and reduce strenuous activities. Now, let's talk about food, accommodation, and scenery. 1. Accommodation: The temperature difference between day and night in Dukezong Ancient City in April is quite large. Choose a room with heating for your stay, and whether to have oxygen supply depends on personal physique. 2. Transportation: Most of the roads in the ancient city are cobblestone. If the homestay offers parking, renting an SUV is more convenient. Other attractions in Shangri-La are relatively far, and taking a taxi can be a bit troublesome. 3. Food: I have tried the local butter tea and yak meat hot pot. There wasn't much meat, so I didn't get enough. I didn't drink the barley wine because I was driving. 4. Photography spots: 1️⃣ East gate of Dukezong Ancient City, walk about 20 meters west 2️⃣ Great Buddha Temple, you need to climb stairs, climb slowly, and use oxygen if you are out of breath 3️⃣ Not at Moonlight Square, but at the east corridor of Jinlong Street on the west side 4️⃣-7 Moonlight Square is at the Great Buddha Temple 5️⃣ In the alley on the northwest side of Guishan Park
