Songzanlin Lamasery – Shangri-La

Songzanlin Lamasery is built along the hill of the mountain. Looking from distance, it has a similar appearance to the Potala Palace in Lhasa. Songzanlin Lamasery is on a large scale so it is also praised as the minor Potala Palace of Yunnan. There is an oval city wall around Songzanlin Temple. The two main halls of Dhacang and Jikang are located at the highest point in the centre of the temple. Not only is the architecture exquisite, but there are also many religious artifacts and precious cultural relics in the temple. Also known as the “Tibetan Art Museum”.
