Zhongdian (aka Shangri-La)

In the morning, we left our hotel, the Paradise Hotel, in order to visit Bita Lake. A lot of wild animals used to be visible near the lake, but due to too many loud Chinese tourists, they aren't really seen much any more.

After lunch, we headed to the Ganden Songzanlin Monastery, which is the largest Tibetan monastery in southwest China. On the way back into the city, we stopped by a Tibetan household and then visited a market.
