When you come to Shangri-La, the capital of Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, the Moonlight City, you must try the authentic Tibetan delicacies. Minzhu Ramu Shangri-La Restaurant is a relatively fashionable Tibetan restaurant in the local area. The cuisine style that combines new and traditional styles is loved by locals and tourists. My friends and I have been there twice. [Restaurant Environment] The decoration style is traditional Tibetan characteristics. The environment is magnificent and textured. The stage background on the first floor and the stairs behind are decorated with bright and colorful paintings. The themes of the paintings are very Tibetan cultural elements, traditional and beautiful. The public area also displays various Tibetan characteristics, such as Nisi black pottery, murals, Tibetan stoves, etc., showing the rich charm of Tibetan intangible cultural heritage. There will be performances on the stage at around 7 o'clock in the evening. Boys play the traditional Tibetan instrument string, and girls sing Tibetan songs. The atmosphere is very good. I can't help humming along with the sound, and even have the urge to go on stage and dance together. 【Recommended dishes】 Yak beef in a toast feast: Yak beef is very firm, cut into small pieces, paired with purple onions, cucumbers, and dipping sauce, can be rolled in lettuce and eaten together, the meat is full of fragrance, the moisture and crisp taste can be retained, but not greasy. Ciba Wowotou: With yak beef sauce, it tastes like coarse grains and has a rustic taste. Stir-fried Tibetan pork: The pork has fat but it is really not greasy at all. The side dishes include black fungus, red and green peppers, and tofu slices. The slightly spicy stir-fry method is very good and goes well with rice. Lhasa tofu: It is wrapped in a crispy outer skin, and the inside is soft, glutinous and sweet. It tastes a bit like pumpkin and is delicious with dipping sauce. Highland barley yak beef cubes: It is sour and spicy, and the grains of highland barley are stir-fried with beef cubes. It is salty and fragrant. It can be used as a staple food or with rice. Ginseng fruit yak yogurt: The milk is thick and sticky, and the rich taste is very fragrant. Ginseng fruit particles and honey are placed on it, which is moderately sweet and sour. Tibetan vegetarian vegetable rolls: The sauce is particularly mellow, and the vegetable rolls are refreshing and not greasy. Rose pear: Refreshing and delicious, with an icy taste that is very refreshing. Tibetan sweet tea: Sweet and rich, it is so delicious when it is hot, and you can't stop drinking it. Saffron steamed eggs: soft and delicious, smooth in the mouth. Although the dishes are traditional Tibetan food, I feel that they are still innovative after eating them. The taste is unique but very delicious. The dishes are very beautifully presented, and my friends are full of praise for them. The proprietress is very considerate and comes to our table from time to time to ask if the dishes are to our taste. I heard that there is also a store in Nanjing. It is really good to pass on Tibetan delicacies to the mainland. ✨Minzhu Ramu Shangri-La Kitchen 📍Address: No. 66, Cicika Street ⌚️Business hours: 11:00-13:30 17:00-21:30 💰Per capita: 108 yuan/person #Local food #Try the authentic old brand #Romantic date restaurant

In April, Shangri-La still has a big temperature difference between morning and night. Starting from Shuhe Ancient Town in Lijiang, it takes about 1 hour and 40 minutes to reach Dukezong Ancient Town by self-driving. The highway fee is 128 yuan. If you want to go to Xiaozhongdian, you can get off at the Xiaozhongdian toll station. There is a speed meter between Xiaozhongdian and Shangri-La. Many people fall here. If you exceed the speed limit, you will be deducted points on the spot when you get off the highway. Remember! Dukezong Ancient Town You can take Tibetan costumes during the day, which is still very photogenic and the price is not expensive. The main shooting is in Dukezong Ancient Town, Songzanlin Temple, and Napahai. At night, you must go to the Big Buddha Temple to turn the prayer wheel. The night view is also beautiful. Ask the innkeeper about the specific time of turning on and off the lights in the Big Buddha Temple, otherwise it will be no fun when the lights are turned off. You must turn the world's largest prayer wheel, which can bring you luck for a whole year. Napahai Yila Grassland is next to Napahai. You can ride horses on the grassland for only a few dozen yuan, which depends on the person. There are still a small number of cranes in Napahai. Those who like photography can stop and take pictures. There is a road coffee on the road around Napahai, but I haven't drunk it. Minzhu Lamu Shangri-La Kitchen This Tibetan restaurant is a chain, all of which are improved. The environment and food are not bad. In fact, there is really nothing to eat in Shangri-La. Three meals bar Eat mushroom pot, this one is quite good. Although the restaurant is not big and not so luxurious, the boss pays attention to the hygiene of ingredients, local chicken mushroom hot pot, and a few side dishes, perfect. Gandan Songzanlin Temple is very commercial. If you haven't been to Tibet, you can go here. The ticket is 90. There are many people taking pictures of Tibetan costumes inside, and the commercial atmosphere is very strong. 🌟Highlights and features: The above are all regular itineraries.
