Spring comes, but Shangri-La left behind in breath-taking winter views

Though spring has arrived, northwest Yunnan’s Shangri-La seems left behind in a fairytale world of winter, where the scenery is so breathtaking. Recently, tourists visiting the Meili Snow Mountain, Sumtsaling Monastery and other places in Shangri-la were presented with picturesque views.

Described as a haven of peace and tranquility by British author James Hilton in his novel “Lost Horizon”, Shangri-La is a mysterious and enchanting place. And in realty, the place exists in northwest Yunnan’s Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture. If you pay a visit to Shangri-La, you may find that it is just the place depicted in the “Lost Horizon”. 

Those days, even though most part of Yunnan province is immersed in the warmth of spring, Shangri-La still stays in winter. How beautiful is the scenery during the winter in Shangri-La? Let’s take a look at the pictures.
