The road surface is even mudier today

Dukezong Ancient City: "Dukezong", a Tibetan pronunciation contains two meanings, one is "castle built on stone" and the other is "moonlight city".

For the horse gang that crossed the ancient tea horse road, the ancient city of Dukezong is an important town on the ancient tea horse road, and it is also the first stop after the horse gang enters Tibet, which is quite a comfortable road.

The originally planned Baishuitai, due to the construction of the entire Shangri-La East Ring Road, is only 100 kilometers away, and it also takes 4 hours to drive. Coupled with the rain, it must be even more difficult to walk, so I decided to give up and go to Tiger Leaping Gorge tomorrow.

When I arrived at Tiger Leaping Gorge, I found out that after several days of rain, the Tiger Leaping Gorge Scenic Area has been closed for several days, alas! I feel that there are some regrets every time I go out, but this is also a reason to visit again next time.

The courtyard I stayed in Tiger Leaping Gorge is not bad

Shangri-La: is the main destination of this trip, Walking out of the Tiger Leaping Gorge is also out of Shangri-La, and you will walk again after the completion of the Shangri-La East Ring Road.
