Find 'the Sun and Moon in the Heart'
Shangri-La is also known as 'the sun and moon in the heart' in Tibetan. This famous city is the paradise that James Hilton described in his novel and once you arrive and see its beauty, you'll understand why! Loved by the local Tibetan people, this city is full of uniqueness and natural beauty. It is Shangri-La!
This 4-day Shangri-La tour will not only impress you with charming landscape and the holy Songzanlin Monastery but will also connect you with local people.
Tour 'Wow' Points
Visit a Nonpublic Dormitory of Songzanlin Monastery
Talk with a local religious leader in his dormitory's study room, which is not normally open to tourists. If you are lucky, you might meet a living Buddha!
Walk in a Tibetan Family's House
Avoid the commercial house tours like the one near the Pudacuo National Park and visit a traditional Tibetan family's house near quiet Napa Lake. There, you will enjoy some homemade Tibetan snacks and friendly conversation.
Paint Your Own Thangka
Learn how to paint a thangka and take the good luck and energy from Shangri-La back home with you.

Wonderful days in Lijiang
Our tourguide Alice took us to the Jin‘Gang Haimu Lingdong Temple and ShiGu Village. Sie was very friendly and explained the region same as the temple in detail. It was a tour away from the touristic hotspots and we enjoyed it very much. Furthermore she organized a tour that we could watch a TaiChi class in Black Dragon Park the next morning. We will never forget these extraordinary experiances! more
