Product details

▲ [Must-know tips ▲▲▲] Most current products on the market take visitors directly to horse ranches for overpriced horseback riding promotions, completely missing Napahai Lake! Not circling Napahai = Not truly experiencing Shangri-La!! Our route follows the lakeside road, showcasing the most breathtaking sections!! Venture deep into Yila Grassland's heart, stopping at viral spots like the white stupa, photogenic walls, and Napahai prayer flags—capture stunning views freely! ▲▲▲We avoid designated ranches that force expensive horseback riding!

Yila Grassland, sky-reflecting waters, roaming yaks and sheep, giant viral prayer flags... Your camera storage won't stand a chance! ▲▲▲Return via highway to maximize your sightseeing time! ▲▲▲Reject fake yak meat banquets! They ruin experiences and waste time!!

▲ 1. ▲▲▲Hidden pitfalls in Shangri-La you didn't know about! 1. ▲Tiger Leaping Gorge elevator promotion (refuse bundled sales, reserve 1.5 hours for sufficient time) 2. ▲Lunchtime specialty promotions where drivers falsely claim visits to relatives/friends or chieftain banquets to sell local products (fake yak meat, etc.) and herbs - these are actually partnered shopping stops that affect your travel experience! 3. ▲Yila grassland horseback riding! Most tour groups skip the actual grassland and lake views, going straight to horse ranches to promote riding activities! Tips: ▲▲▲Be wary of low-price tours. Remember no travel agency operates at a loss - vehicle and admission ticket costs are calculable. Low prices mean heavy shopping promotions! When traveling, prioritize peace of mind - don't let low prices blind you! ▲▲▲We guarantee completely shopping-free tours with no promotions or bundled sales

Photos show actual vehicles, but specific vehicle assignments may vary.

▲ ▲▲▲Tiger Leaping Gorge Originating from the Geladandong Peak of the Tanggula Mountains in Qinghai, the Jinsha River flows through Shangri-La. The turbulent waters surge into the narrow gap between Yulong Snow Mountain and Haba Snow Mountain, carving out a grand canyon—this is Tiger Leaping Gorge. The river rushes wildly, with roaring waves crashing against the banks, churning up countless whitecaps.

▲ May is a sea of azaleas, while October belongs to the Stellera chamaejasme (flowering periods are greatly affected by climate; no stays from November to May of the following year, apologies for any inconvenience).

▲ ▲▲▲Dukezong Ancient Town Dukezong means "Moonlight City" or "The Castle Built on Stones," constructed during the Tang Dynasty by the Tibetan Tubo Kingdom. The ancient town is laid out like an eight-petal lotus, with the Moonlight Square at its center. In the Guishan Park on the western side of the town, there is a massive prayer wheel that requires several people to turn it together. Rotating it three full circles is believed to bring blessings to your family and friends~

▲ ▲▲▲Napa Lake/Yila Grassland Where grassland and lake coexist in harmony. Yila Grassland is a representative prairie of Shangri-La, with Napa Lake nestled within it. Here, horses graze freely and Tibetan pigs roam about. Enjoy sightseeing and photography along the lakeside road from the Napa Lake Viewing Platform! [Note: The grassland's appearance varies by season, with lush vegetation during summer. Scenery may be less impressive in other seasons.]

▲ The destination is Shika Road in front of Shika Snow Mountain, which is also known as the internet-famous road.
