Stonning landscapes
This Balagezong Scenic Area is just wonderfull, magnific, and so beautifull that u will never ever forget about it. I do recomend to take the ruber boat trip to came back after de 3 km walk. Doing the walk along the river it is a MUST. The watter is transparent and all the towns until to reach to the end are neccesary to see as well. You will have a great trip indeed !!

Amazing natural sceneries !
This is one place which should not be missed when visiting Shangrila. It has very beautiful natural sceneries, especially the layers of majestic mountains, the stream that flows along the valleys of the mountains and the close proximity of some beautiful snow-capped mountains. The glass floor viewing platform is indeed an experience, playing tricks psychologically on the mind as it is no different in height and altitude from the cement floor. There is a lot of walking but the sights along the walking path is worth all the effort. A full day is needed to fully enjoy this place. There are 5 highlights altogether of which each offers a different sight and attractions.
