i am planning a trip to yunnan in january.

Question

I am planning a trip to Yunnan in January.  Is it practical to go to Shangrila / Zhongdian at that time of the year?  Are roads passable, and are places like the Songzanlin temple open?

Mr.Jason · Answer

Yes, it is practical. Winter is a best season to see the snow mountains there, though Meli Snow Mountain will not allowed to climb in. The temple is open. You can take bus from Lijiang/Dali to Zhongdian. The average temperature is about 6C. Keep warm, for the altitude there is high.

Mr.Liu · Answer

It depends on weather.The temperature of Shangrila in January will be very cold,about 10 centigrades below zero.So you need some warm clothes and shoes,and the traffic might be blocked by heavy snow.The Songzanlin Temple is always open,you can visit it at any time you like.
