Shangri La

This is our trip from Leaping Tiger Gorge to Zhongdian, or as it is better Shangri La.  Along the road from Tiger Leaping Gorge to Zhongdian

Trying to keep all the luggage from falling off the minibus. We stopped half a dozen times to rearrange the slidding mass of stuff

Temple and giant prayer wheel south of the city

Large Buddist temple north of the city, one of the largest in China

Giant Budda

Monk on a cell-phone?

From the bus just around Zhongdian.  Very dry and over 10,000 feet in elevation. Lots of Yaks roaming everywhere, including the city streets
