① Introduction to exciting attractions on the itinerary

Daocheng Yading | At an altitude of 4700 meters, encounter an unforgettable blue and white ✔️ Walking from Luorong Pasture to Milk Lake, the wind along the way carries the scent of pine needles. The moment you see the lake, you’ll be speechless – that shade of blue is clearer than the sky, and the sunlight on it sparkles like shattered diamonds. Bottomless Lake 📸 Shangri-La’s Bottomless Lake! At 3800 meters, even the wind of this blue lake is healing! The lake reflects the snow-capped mountains, like stepping into a fairyland. Shangri-La 🌊 Visit Tiger Leaping Gorge, recommended by National Geographic, explore Songzanlin Monastery, the ‘Little Potala Palace,’ and stroll through Dukezong Ancient Town, the ‘Moonlight Ancient City.’
