Shangri-La

 

Shangri-La is located in the northwest of Yunnan Province, with Tibet to its west and Sichuan to its east. It is known for its beautiful landscape and Tibetan culture. It sits at an altitude of over 3000 metres and altitude sickness is common amongst visitors. It's also very cold due to the high altitude.


Here are some photos:
