Shangri La is located near the province of Tibet in southwest China, in the Sichuan province. Not many tourists seemed to be there, despite the amount of local tourists in other parts of China. Maybe it was because there wasn’t much to see in the town except one of the largest prayer wheels in the world and a spectacular night time lighting of the local monastery. The town had been devastated by a large fire, destroying most of the original buildings only years prior to my visit. Needless to say, we did not stay in Shangri La very long, only 2 nights, before heading south to the more interesting provinces of Yunnan and Guangxi.
