Also known as ‘Shangri-La’, Zhongdian is a small town in China’s Northwest Yunnan province that is home to some amazing Himalayan mountain views, a beautiful Tibetan monastery, and many ethnically Tibetan people. Preston and I spent a few nights there in December 2009 and did a bit of mountain biking in the surrounding area on our way to trek the Tiger Leaping Gorge. This photo gallery covers some of the highlights from our trip to the ‘real’ Shangri-La.
