I plan to go to road trip. For advice: 1. Is there an expressway from Lijiang to Shangri-La? 2. What's the road condition to Deqin? What's the altitude?

1, Lijiang to Zhongdian (Shangri-La)198 km; There is no high speed, but the road conditions are good, but they are all mountain roads, most of which are uphill, so drive carefully; Along the way, you will pass through Shigu Town (the first bay of the Yangtze River) and Tiger Leaping Gorge. Zhongdian can go to Ira Grassland, Bitahai, Songzanlin Temple and Xiaozhongdian.

2. Zhongdian to Deqin is also 198 km, and the road condition is worse than before, but it has been repaired well now. After passing the Benzilan, you can see the first bay of Jinsha River and cross the Baima Snow Mountain. It is suggested to stay in Feilai Temple, see Meili Snow Mountain and go hiking in Yubeng when you have time.

I hope it helps you.
