The ancient city of Dukezong in Shangri-La, Tibetan means Moonlight City, also known as a castle built on stones. Entering the ancient city is first a small square, where locals often dance in ethnic costumes. There are also three or three tourists feeding pigeons. Walking up the steps, you can see the big prayer wheel. Many devout believers push the prayer wheel around three times clockwise and make their own good wishes. Dukezong Ancient City is really a place worth going again.

    Dukezong Ancient City as the oldest castle on the Tea Horse Road, so with its unique geographical location, and the vicissitudes of an ancient city full of mercy, welcome the endless business travelers in the history of the Tea Horse Road. At the same time, the development of business has also cultivated a generation of giant merchants who have gone out from the ancient city of Dukezong. Ma cast materials are one of them. With the Tibetan cast materials of the "cast record" business, this is the long historical footprint of Dukezong ancient city, exploring the outside world.

    The ancient city of Dukezong in Shangri-La is called Jiantang, which means a castle under white moonlight. The ancient city was built in the Tang Dynasty and the Tibetans called it the "Moonlight City". At present, the world's largest, heaviest, and most Tibetan scriptures are located on the Big Turtle Mountain in the center of Dukezong Ancient City.

    The ancient city of Dukezong is the best preserved and largest Tibetan settlement in China. In recent years, with the development of local tourism, Shangri-La City has strengthened the protection and repair of Dukezong Ancient City, and recreated the historical style of the ancient city. During the Tang Yifeng and Tiaolu years (AD 676-679), Tuyu here set up a Zhaibao on the top of the big turtle mountain, named "Du Kezong", a Tibetan pronunciation contains two meanings, one is "castle built on stone", and the other is "moonlight city". Later, the ancient city was built around the Zhaibao on the top of the mountain. This echoes the establishment of "Nivongzong" on a mountaintop by the Naizi River, as "Niguang City", whose Zhaibao is no longer there, and the original site is a white tower. The ancient city of Dukezong was built on the hillside, and the road was uneven. It was paved with natural terrain for some old stones for a long time. By 2021, there were still deep horseshoe marks on the stone road. That was the message left by the horse gang for time. For the horse gangs who cross the ancient tea horse road, Dukezong Ancient City is a heavy town on the ancient tea horse road, and the first stop after the horse gang entered Tibet. This is a quite comfortable road. In 2001, Dukezong Ancient City was approved as a famous historical and cultural city in Yunnan Province.

    Guishan Park is located in the center of Dukezong Ancient City, on the west side of Moonlight Square. Shangri-La City, the center of Diqingzhou, is a thousand-year-old tea horse town. Dukezong Ancient City is the essence of Shangri-La's history and culture. The tea horse culture that has settled for thousands of years has made this ancient city. Tibetan architecture and natural scenery are everywhere, and Guishan Park is the largest urban park in Diqingzhou. Shangri-La Guishan Park was built during the Qing Kangxi period and consists of the Big Buddha Temple, the prayer wheel and the observation deck. The view from the top of the mountain is excellent, with a bird's eye view of the city and the continuous snowy mountains. Although the altitude of Guishan Park is not very high, it is a plateau area after all, so the altitude sickness is more obvious. It is recommended that you come to Shangri-La Guishan Park for the first time to slow down the mountain. "Shangri-La" is the meaning of the original tribe, people and people are indisputable, live a prosperous and healthy life, and seem to be economically backward but live a full life. Guishan Park is the commanding height of Dukezong Ancient City. You can visit many well-known attractions in Guishan Park and its surroundings, such as the Big Buddha Temple and the world's largest prayer wheel, Diqing Red Army Long March Museum, Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture Museum, Moonlight Square, Guishan Ancient Well, Shanbara Old Street, Dukezong Flower Lane, Jinlong Street, which survived the 2014 fire. In 2014, Dukezong Ancient City suffered a fire, which swallowed the entire ancient city. The ancient city that I see today is later rebuilt. However, the history and culture of this ancient tea-horse road will be permanent and will not disappear due to the fire.

    Dukezong Ancient City in the night. Dukezong Ancient City is located in the center of Shangri-La, founded more than 1300 years ago in the Tang Dynasty, when Diqing belonged to the Tubu Dynasty dependency, in the big turtle mountain base stone for the city, the name is Dukezong, it contains two meanings, one is built on the stone castle, the second is the moonlight city. This is an ancient city known as the "Dukezong" by Tibetans, and it was built according to the ideal country of Shambhala in the Buddhist scriptures. The ancient city was built on the hillside, and the road was uneven. It was some old stones paved with natural terrain for a long time. There were still deep horseshoe marks on the stone road. It was a message left by the horse gang for time. Dukezong is an important market town on the ancient tea horse road in the past, and the first stop after the horse helped into Tibet. Dukezong ancient city has a unique style of Tibetan people, with the world's largest pure copper-plated gilded prayer wheel. In "The Vanished Horizon", once described it like this, last night there was a dream, far away and ancient. Dreaming of solemn ancestral, devout monks, simple villagers, dreaming of the ancient village with bright lights between thousands of mountains and snow, dreaming of the horse gang from afar to repair it, the horseshoes are light and crisp, the bells are light. Unfortunately, a fire on January 11, 2014, burned two-thirds of the ancient city of Dukezong (the last two photos are the fire point at the time), so now the Dukezong is the look of the reconstruction after 2016.
