shangri-la

A few quick notes and pictures from 3,200m. I've really enjoyed Shangri-La, the people here are way nicer than others I've met in China and actually seem to smile back at you! I've explored the town and neighboring Tibetan monastery with Daniel and we've both concluded that making our way up here was definitely worth it. The air is cool and crisp and the weather has more or less cooperated, though I'm glad I have a sweater and could probably use something a bit warmer. Some of the highlights that you can see from the pictures below include the monastery, the local market and the dancing in the main town square, which happens each night during the summer.
