The sky is clear and the sun is bright.
Close the window into the dream, people in the snow mountain line.
Leaves from the pianpian branches, autumn bleak yue cold.
Heart makes a place, ge zong sacred mountain.
Virtual fame and wealth, no tossing, no bustling envy.
Setting sun shoulder to shoulder, accompanied by white clouds.
Dejinka, linden, pine grove, shambhala.

Shambhala stupa
Shangri-la, which means "the sun and the moon in the heart" in Tibetan, sounds like a dreamlike place. It is a very beautiful and easy to remember name. When I was in college, teachers often took shangri-la as an example and told us that names play a great role in the tourism development of a city. Colorful yunnan, shangri-la is perhaps the most outstanding one.

Four days, one man's pilgrimage

Shambhala stupa
First encounter shangri-la, yaks and snow everywhere

Two hours later, we flew to shangri-la from guangzhou. The time on the plane was very easy. It was almost time to have a meal and drink. Looking down from the sky, the contrast is obvious. The sky over guangzhou is a layer of flat clouds, while the sky over shangri-la is a cloud like cotton candy. In the window position, you can also look down on the snowy mountains.

Open the Tibetan life and enter the grand palag sect

I was a fan of the reader for a while, and one of the episodes was about balagzong. For a long time, this place could not be found on the map at all. There were the highest mountains, the deepest valleys and the clearest lakes.

Echo wall
Once a true xanadu, almost isolated from the rest of the world, local villager si na ding zhu sold his property and built a 35-kilometer "heaven road" to the village of bala, before revealing the mystery of bala ge zong. He spent ten years to make up the coordinates of his hometown on the map. This story is so moving that you can read it if you are interested.

Shangri-la grand canyon, flowing with rivers

I got up early the next day. I saw the sun shining on the top of the mountain. The weather was very good and the sky was clear.

Tongtian gorge, remains of ancient glaciers

The second stop is dejinka (tongtian gorge). Tongtian gorge, as the name suggests, is a straight line to the sky. Of course, it is not so exaggerated.

Cliff on the plank road, the road up the mountain is built in the cliff on the plank road, the valley only a small stream, is the snow mountain melt water down the channel, the river is so wide, it can be seen before the current is very big.


This is the remains of a former glacier, and indeed, if you look at the cliffs next to it, there are very clear signs of river erosion, which is characteristic of the karst landscape. Tongtian gorge is a river formed by the melting of the glacial snow water on the sacred mountain of balagazong, which was washed and cut along the fault cracks of the strata for millions of years. The local people also called this glacial water as the god water of the south kalache-tianhe river.
Millennium bodhi, pass the Buddha margin 3000 years ago


It is said that this millennium bodhi in a few years ago in a short night, from the trunk of the magical long a buddhist hand, this buddhist hand was come to visit the believers respected as poverty alleviation pain and suffering of god's hand. In addition, in the eyes of the local elderly, the bodhi tree also has the power to attract money, so the buddhist hand is also known as the grasping hand.

The shambhala pagoda. Shambhala pagoda is a natural pagoda, the pagoda is the top of a mountain, straight into the sky, deep into the clouds. Buddhist pagodas are usually white, so they are also called "qudengga bo" (white pagodas).

As the name of the scene, the opposite side of the cliff shouted, sound waves are reflected back by the stone wall, will be repeated in the ears.

At the end of the walkway, there is a glass viewing platform. Leaning on the walkway with a vertical drop of 700 meters, you can see the snow-capped mountains, green water and blue waves in the sky. This is the real mirror of the sky.
