Notes on Shangri La Tourism

1. Except from May to July and September to October, the road condition in rainy season in Diqing is not good, which is not conducive to travel. The temperature is too low in winter. If it rains, you should go back to your house in addition to waiting. It's hard to walk on the mountain road after snow. Waiting for the snow to melt is a matter that needs patience and time.

2. Don't rush to Diqing during the Spring Festival, because the outdoor temperature will be - 3-8 ℃ in those days. If there is no heating equipment, it will be 1-9 ℃. The temperature at night is even lower. The outdoor temperature is - 7 ℃ and the indoor temperature is - 1 ℃. In addition to the low temperature, there are very few people and cars on the street, and the icy road will frighten drivers.

3. When going to Diqing, it is recommended to take a coat, down jacket, gloves and antiskid boots. In addition to the dry climate and strong ultraviolet radiation, women should prepare sunscreen, sunshade cap and sunglasses, especially after October, when visiting, they should bring enough clothes to keep out the cold.

4. The rainy season in Diqing plateau is from June to September every year. The weather on the plateau is changeable. You can take more plastic bags (or bath caps) and cover them on the camera when it rains. It is rainproof and dustproof, and it can also protect the equipment. When camping on the grassland in summer, we must light a campfire.

5. Diqing is a high altitude area (3300 meters), not suitable for strenuous exercise, not drinking, eat more vegetables and fruits, in order to prevent mountain reaction.

6. If there is no special reason, ordinary postal service can be completed in any village of Diqing, but the time will be different. In Shangri La County, postal communication is as complete as big cities. But when you get to an area with inconvenient transportation, it takes only two days to send a letter, and it takes five days or more to get there.

7. The first sunrise of Meili Snow Mountain after continuous rainy days is often beautiful. The morning glow is full of the sky, and the nimble and elegant clouds are like fairyland. Red clouds at dusk, or golden canopy clouds on snow peaks, are rare. The rainbow is worth mentioning. In rainy season, you can often see a rainbow at dusk. At this time, if you are in Feilai temple, you need to go back to Southeast. The location of the rainbow is usually above the Deqin River Valley and the background is Baima Snow Mountain. (Baima Snow Mountain is located in the southeast of Meili. On a clear evening, from Feilai temple, this is Rizhao Jinshan.) If it's in the fog thick top (fog dense top in Meili Snow Mountain and southeast of Feilai Temple), the rainbow crosses the river valley, and the background is Meili Snow Mountain. If the rainbow is on the top and neon below, it is simply a gift from the holy mountain.

8. The local specialties are yak dried bread, Tibetan knife and Tibetan medicine. Most of the yak dried bread is made by yellow cattle, which tastes worse. If you want to buy yak jerky, you can go to the local supermarket to buy it, the price is very reasonable. Remember to buy Tibetan Dao in the store. Don't worry, and then mail it through the post office.

9. If you have a weak friend, you can rent a small oxygen bottle in the hotel. The size is about the same as the air freshener. The bottle deposit is 20 yuan and the oxygen is 5 yuan. However, if you inhale continuously, it will be used up in 2 minutes. Also prepare some high calorie foods such as chocolate, which are necessary in plateau areas. Another pair of sunglasses is also essential to avoid snow blindness.
