Explore two of Shangri-La's top attractions on this tour. Begin with Songzanlin Monastery, the largest Tibetan monastery in Yunnan, known as the ‘Little Potala Palace’ for its striking resemblance to Lhasa’s Potala Palace. This 17th-century gem is home to over 700 monks and features a magnificent golden roof. Next, visit Potatso National Park, China’s first national park, famous for its lush forests, crystal-clear lakes, and wildlife like the black-necked crane and Tibetan antelope. A serene stop at Shudu Lake, surrounded by snow-capped mountains, caps off your adventure. Afterward, we'll transfer you back to Shangri-La.
