Itinerary
1. At the Tiger Leaping Gorge. Stand on the observation deck and see the towering peaks on both sides of the canyon reaching high into the clouds, steep and precipitous. Watch as the river surges in the narrow canyon, stirring up huge waves.
2. Pass the Haba Snow Mountain, the main peak of which is 5,396 meters above sea level.
3. See the Baishui Terrace, a natural limestone terrace that resembles a frozen waterfall.
4. Nestled amidst majestic mountains, the town features traditional Tibetan architecture with stone houses and sloping roofs. As you wander through its cobblestone streets, be greeted by prayer flags fluttering gently in the breeze, filling the air with a sense of spirituality.
5. Songzanlin Monastery is also known as 'the little Potala Palace '. In 1679, Dalai Lama chose this place by divination, and it went on to become the uppermost public place in Yunnan which features the particular local characteristics. Annually, the Gedong Festival is celebrated here by the Tibetans. Pious believers, with their knees and foreheads knocking the ground at every step, come here to pray. The monastery is full of treasures. There are a lot of golden figures of Buddha josses, golden lamps, Tibetan lections, silver censers and so on. All of these are wonderful collections accumulated from each dynasty. They are precious productions made by people of both Tibet nationality and Han nationality.
