Question

We are planning to go Shangrila mid Dec as part of a tour. Is it advisable? Are the days very short in December like it is in Europe?

Mr.Jamie · Answer

No, days are not short in Shangri-la. For its high altitude, it has longer sun hours than many places in China. It is a bit cold in Dec, snow mountain maybe closed. It is more advisable to get there in MArch or April, or around Feb 14, Tibetan New Year. Two days before the new year, it is the Gedong Festival in Zongzanlin Monastery. It is a mysterious religious festival.
