Known as Shangri-La's "Green Pearl", it is the first national park in Chinese mainland. Picturesque lakes, vast grasslands and dense forests, especially the "Bita Sea" and "Zhidu Lake", are even more memorable. The park is rich in biodiversity and is a paradise for photography enthusiasts.
Shangri-La's largest Tibetan Buddhist monastery is also one of the most important Buddhist shrines in the whole of Yunnan Province. Not only is there a magnificent landscape, but also unique Tibetan architecture and a deep Tibetan Buddhist culture.
3.Dukezong Ancient City
Shangri-La's historical and cultural center, which means "castle built on stone" in Tibetan, is also known as the "Moonlight City". With its quaint houses, permeated Tibetan incense and laid-back Tibetan customs, it seems to have transported you back to another era.
One of the largest canyons in the world, known for its rugged terrain and spectacular natural landscapes. Not only is it a paradise for trekking enthusiasts, but it is also a great place to feel the power of nature.

Shopping on Nanjing Road in Shanghai was just amazing! It's truly the "First Commercial Street of China", where tradition and modernity blend perfectly. You can find awesome souvenirs and experience the trendy vibes in cool stores. The neon lights at night are just spectacular, shining bright like Times Square in New York. The food here is incredible too. I had a feast for my taste buds. Shanghai, I'll definitely be back!

As a solo traveler from Canada, I was nervous about navigating China alone—but this 11-day tour was PERFECT! From hiking the Great Wall at sunrise (Day 3) to gasping at the Terracotta Army (Day 5), every day delivered ‘pinch-me’ moments. The real showstopper? Zhangjiajie’s Avatar Mountains (Day 7)! Our guide made the stone pillars come alive with stories.
Massive thanks for handling all logistics—bullet train tickets, entry passes, car! And the 4-star hotels surprised me.

Our 2-day Zhangjiajie tour was beyond spectacular! As someone who’s visited Beijing and Shanghai for work, this trip revealed China’s wild, magical heart. Day 1 in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park felt like stepping onto Pandora—I’m a huge Avatar fan, and Yuanjiajie’s floating peaks left me breathless. The misty pillars and lush valleys like pure movie magic!
Then came Fenghuang Ancient Town, we eat dinner beside the thundering waterfall. It seems Unreal! The night views of stilt houses glowing over the river were straight from a fairy tale.
For fellow Avatar lovers and adventure seekers: Don’t miss this bucket-list experience! 10/10 would return.
