Tips:
1. Due to the influence of roads (especially the rainy season in July and August, car conditions, passenger flow and other factors, even fixed buses are sometimes temporarily cancelled. If the trip is very tight, you often have to hurry to catch the early bus, the last bus or the only bus, so as not to affect the trip.
There is a shuttle bus from Kunming to Deqin every day, so you should take the shuttle bus near Kunming New South Station (railway station).
The road from Lijiang to Shangri-La is Panshan Road. I think it's better to take a bus. It's safer. Generally, two drivers take turns driving, which takes about 5 hours.
4. Deloitte's time to return to Zhongdian must be grasped, and the departure time is sometimes not very fixed. If there are not many people at 8:20, sometimes he will wait until 9:20.
Shangri-La is a picturesque place, where the natural scenery is full of charm, and it is the closest tourist destination to heaven that Chinese and foreign tourists yearn for. When you come here, you must also try butter tea. When you get used to it, you will think of that mellow taste.
