Yunnan Shangri-La has become the paradise that the world has been looking for for a long time with its pristine natural scenery such as snow-capped mountains and canyons, alpine lakes, sea of ​​flowers and meadows, ancient and profound religious and cultural connotations, and rugged folk customs with unique regional characteristics. Shangri-La, known as "Zhongdian" in ancient times, means "good luck and good fortune" in Diqing Tibetan. It is located in Shangri-La County, Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province. It is located on the southern edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and in the hinterland of the Hengduan Mountains. It is the intersection of Yunnan, Sichuan and Tibet. It is also the hinterland of the world-famous "Three Parallel Rivers" scenic spot, with a total area of ​​11,613 square kilometers. Shangri-La County is one of the counties with the largest area and the lowest population density in Yunnan Province. Due to its size, virgin valleys and peaks abound. The territory is home to towering snow-capped mountains, vast grasslands, and deep valleys. There are 470 snow-capped mountains above 4,000 meters above sea level. The mountains are squatting majestic and full of postures. "The mountains are steep and the gorge is thundering, and the dead trees and vines are twilight." Tiger Leaping Gorge attracts Chinese and foreign tourists with its majestic momentum. On the desolate Tea Horse Road, there are countless Shimen Pass and the wonder of Western Yunnan - Secang Da The Rift Valley opens its arms to tourists with its wonderful posture. Deep in the snowy mountains, in the hinterland of the grasslands, countless quiet, quiet, deep and mysterious mountain lakes in the forest call for people to lift their beautiful veils. In addition to Tibetans, the main ethnic group in Shangri-La County, there are more than a dozen ethnic groups such as Han, Naxi, Yi, and Bai, forming a diverse ethnic culture. Colorful folk customs and grand ethnic festivals, songs and dances have become a beautiful corner of Shangri-La's tourism landscape. Religious culture is one of the most powerful cultures here. Tibetan Buddhist culture deeply affects the Tibetan people's clothing, food, housing, transportation, speech and behavior.
