White-Water Terraces (Baishuitai)The White Water Terraces are located in the foothills of Haba Snow Mountain, just over 100km away from Shangri-La County, and 2,380 metres above sea level. They are a natural wonder formed by the dissolution of calcium carbonate in spring water. The spring water, containing calcium bicarbonate, slowly flows down and the carbonate gradually precipitates, year after year, it has formed a shape like terraces. They are referred to as “legacy fields left by fairies” and cover an area of around three square kilometres, making them the largest spring terraces in China. Backed by green hills and trees and surrounded by blue waves, you can enjoy the mountain scenery in the distance and the water view nearby, in a tranquil environment.
- Midway between Lijiang and Shangri-la, Tiger Leaping Gorge in China's Yunnan Province has carved its way between snow-capped peaks and formed one of the deepest gorges in the world. The roaring Jinsha River (part of the Yangtze River) shows the power of nature there. Known as one of the world's great treks, the rugged Tiger Leaping Gorge trail refreshes souls with sheer natural beauty and majestic snow mountain views. And Naxi culture is another pearl shining on the Gorge. (pass by)
- Songzanlin Monastery, also known as Ganden Sumtseling Monastery or Guihua Monastery. It is the largest Tibetan Buddhist monastery in Yunnan Province which belongs to Yellow Hat Sect of Gelug.
