Nestled in the highlands of Shangri-La, Yunnan, Dukezong Ancient Town is a living tapestry of Tibetan history, tradition, and breathtaking mountain beauty. With over 1,300 years of history, this ancient town was once an important stop on the Tea Horse Road, and today it remains one of the best-preserved Tibetan towns in China.
As you stroll through its cobblestone lanes, you’ll be surrounded by traditional Tibetan wooden houses, prayer flags fluttering in the mountain breeze, and locals dressed in colorful ethnic attire. The heart of the town, Moonlight Square, comes alive in the evening with warm lights and cheerful music, inviting travelers to dance and celebrate alongside the locals.
Don’t miss climbing up to the Guishan Temple, home to the world’s largest prayer wheel — a golden masterpiece that shines under the sun and offers panoramic views of the entire town. Whether you’re exploring centuries-old monasteries, tasting yak butter tea, or watching the sunset paint the roofs gold, Dukezong feels like stepping into another time — serene, spiritual, and endlessly captivating. 🌄✨
