Shangri-La, Prayer Mill, Bus Ride to Lijiang

This morning we still had enough time to hike to the largest prayer wheel in the world at 21 meters. It is located in the old town on a hill at Guishan Temple. For the view of the wooden roofs of the city, the stairway is worthwhile. You have to work with several people to get the gold-shining mill going.

At one o’clock at noon we went by bus again 4 hours in the direction of Lijiang. On the way, the bus takes a pipi break at a road stall. You can also buy sweets or drinks there. The buses are washed by the rest area staff with high-pressure cleaners, brooms and pullers.

In Shangri-La we had -2 to 14 degrees and in Lijiang it is 7 to 22 degrees. (jacket on/jacket off).
