very time when we mention ‘Chiangmai’, misty mountains, colourful flowers, and charming Lanna culture immediately comes to mind. The historic city is not just the centre of northern Thailand economy, but its wonderful natural attractions, excellent accommodations, delectable food, and amazing shopping experience makes this old city very easy to fall in love with.

With a wide range of accommodation available, the question is ‘where to stay?’ You may go through hundreds of accommodation choices, but

ultimately it comes to only a few handful hotels if luxury comfort and memorable experience are what you seek. Hidden amidst the urbanized city center, ‘Na Nirand Romantic Boutique Resort’ is easily one of the most charming hotels in the city.

This unique hotel seamlessly combines legendary stories of its location to the enchanting art of traditional Lanna and modern comfort. It’s intriguing just by looking at the exterior, so why not check-in and see what makes Na Nirand not just the place to stay, but the place to be.

每当听到“清迈”，每个人眼 前一定会浮现出如梦似幻的美丽山 脉、云霞、花朵以及独具魅力的兰 纳文化，这些是清迈之所以为泰北 中心城市的原因之一，除此还有美 丽的景点、舒适的酒店、可口的美 食和琳琅满目的购物中心，这样的 清迈，怎能不让人为之着迷呢？ 来到清迈住在哪里呢？这个问 题可不难回答。来体验一下娜丽兰 浪漫精品酒店吧，闹中取静于繁华 的清迈古城中心地区，以兰纳文化 特有元素与现代审美的完美结合静 心打造的建筑风格，使我们不禁沉 迷其美，忍不住要赶紧去娜丽兰浪 漫精品酒店Check In住上一晚。

Romantic Legend 经典浪漫情怀

L

ocated on Charoenprathet Road in the heart of the city, the timeless charm of Lanna isn’t the only highlight of Na Nirand. This historic area was the heart of logging industry, especially teak, during the reign of King Rama V. The old Forestry Office is merely a few steps away, and the atmosphere of the bygone days still linger.

Legend says that the towering Rain Tree in the hotel was planted

by Mr. H. Slade, the first Conservator of Forests, over a century ago.

Its roots and branches became an integral part of the location, and to this day, the elegant tree of history still stands tall and beautiful as the landmark of Na Nirand Romantic Resort.

As a ‘romantic resort’, Na Nirand tells the story of eternal love between a beautiful girl descended from the Ruler of Lamphun and a regular Bangkok man. Their love nest, “Baan Thab Phaya,” still stands on its original location, waiting for visitors to discover the legend and understand the definition of true love. 娜丽兰浪漫精品酒店位于清迈市中心，一直以来都是写满历史痕迹的 传说之地。拉玛五世皇时期，这里曾是北部柚木木雕的起源中心，离酒店 不远，便是当时林业厅的首个办公地点。时至今日，我们仍能追寻到来自 西方、中国、印度和缅甸的早期移民在这里居住的痕迹。 酒店挺立着一棵如高塔般的巨大百年雨豆树，正是当年第一位森林保 护者H.Slade先生亲手所植。现在，这棵承载着历史的优雅大树依然挺立 着，美丽着，并作为酒店的象征，成为娜丽兰浪漫精品酒店不可缺少的一 部分，吸引着来这里的每一位访客。 除此之外，酒店所在的这条路还被认为是“浪漫爱之路”。相传当年 南奔王族后裔的美人正是在这里邂逅了来自曼谷的英俊绅士，从此成就一 段佳缘。他们的家Thap Phraya也成了永恒之爱的象征地，彰显着那段属于 兰纳时代的美丽爱情故事。

Dreamy Room 梦想中的酒店 迈入酒店的第一步，最吸引人的便是酒店那六栋建筑皆为半木式的兰纳 殖民化风格的阁楼，顿时便带领访客回溯到了十九世纪末拉玛五世王朝，殖 民式建筑风格影响泰式房屋设计的时期。这种兼具古典与浪漫的艺术与本地 兰纳建筑通过装饰得到了完美的融合，造就出优雅、简单、真实的兰纳风 格，令我们有种穿越时光的美丽错觉。 酒店布局颇具匠心，漫步其中犹如置身复古宫殿。参天古树犹如酒店的 心脏，撑开巨大的伞盖，枝繁叶茂，美不胜收，更为酒店带来了宁静优美、 远离喧嚣的浪漫氛围。身居其中便如在家中一样安适休闲，让人只想让时间 停留在这一刻，直至永远。 20 l 24 LIFE M a g a z i n e

raceful Lanna atmosphere during the reign of King Rama V becomes the first impression as you enter the gate of Na Nirand. The charming hotel features 6 Colonial Lanna buildings that blends the unique character of Lanna style to western architecture, leaving its guests in the atmosphere of the past.

Stylishly layout to evoke the sense of living in a Lanna palace with giant rain tree as its heart, Na Nirand offers an undeniably peaceful and romantic ambience, as well as a perfect location to relax and explore the surroundings – so perfect that you may wish time would stop for you to forever be here.

The interior and the rooms are simply a blessing! Not only that each room is generously equipped with sumptuous amenities, each room type tells its own story through its unique charm and style – just like walking into an art gallery.

The resort’s 45 rooms and suites are categorized into Deluxes, Corner Suites, and Riverfront Colonial Suites, all with private balcony. The Deluxe, the most basic, yet extremely impressive option, is available in Romantic Lanna Deluxe, Romantic Lanna Grand Deluxe, and Romantic Lanna Royal Deluxe. As the word “Lanna” suggests, the rooms emphasize on blending local traditional Lanna art and style to luxury comfort, from bed and wall decorations and floor tiles, to northern artworks and rattan furniture.

当进入酒店的客房，你一定还 会更加惊喜。因为客房不仅仅是设 施齐全 使用方便那么简单，还精心装饰成 了兰纳风格。每个房型都有不同的风 格，有精致的木雕，有精彩的故事， 还有独特的魅力，能给我们带来犹如 进入艺术长廊一样的绝佳体验。

独特的转角套房仅在顶楼和底 楼各有一套。该套房注重私密性和 更佳的空间感，床头壁设计极为精 美，结合采用多种风格的木雕艺 术，各具特色却又相得益彰。精心 打磨的兰纳木制设施体现着本地文 化的简约和优雅，兰纳手织布装饰 的墙面则营造出古典的雅致韵味。

酒店共有全部配有独立阳台的客 房45间。房型有三种：豪华标准间、 转角套房、临水套房。温馨、简约， 不失优雅的39套客房设计为三种不同 档次的兰纳式浪漫豪华风格，皆采 用本地独具特色、魅力十足的手工艺 品装饰，如用于床头壁或客房装饰 的独特的兰纳手工织布；如体现着 本地艺术风格的壁画，以兰纳艺术 特有的漂浮云纹与现代化陈设相结 合，营造出别致而有趣的意境；再 如以复古殖民风格地砖装饰的花纹 地板。还有特意选配的全木制或是 藤制家具更进一步彰显娜丽兰致力 打造的自然和谐意趣。

具备更完美和更闲适居住体验 的殖民风格别墅，注重完备安稳、平 静休闲的个人体验空间。临河的殖民 地风格别墅套房有四件拥有完美临河 景观、各具风格的房间。装饰设计追 溯缅甸、中国、印度和英国移民在百 年以前来到泰国并在此经商及定居本 地的历程，力求复制出那个受到多 元民族文化冲击时期的泰式建筑的 独有风格：协奏英印--以白色为主 体的殖民风格客房融合了大不列颠 和印度两种迥然不同的文化氛围， 达成一种独特的和谐韵味。梦醉 缅甸--客房选用兰纳风格的图画， 整合缅甸式装饰，房间以白色为主 色调，外加英国贵族风格的木质家 具，采用印度风格的浮雕，让整个 房间变得更加安静和温馨。 魅力中华--中华特色正红色灯 具与独具趣味的中华算盘相搭配的 设计彰显着旧时的泰中贸易联系。 情倾暹罗--采用传统镀金漆艺术， 以金色和黑色的漆艺交替使用打造 出泰式的贵气和优雅，让人怎能不 倾倒于泰国文化？

The Corner Suites are always in high demand as there are only 2 suites in the hotel (one the upper floor and another on the lower floor). With bigger room, there are plenty more space for deco and amenities. Double as wall deco, the headboard is the work of Lanna wood carving art that harmoniously blends to framed traditional Lanna fabrics and hardwood floor.

At the most elegant end, the House of Colonial offers an ultimate serenity and privacy with 4 Riverfront Colonial Suites, each uniquely decorated in different style, including Harmonious British -Indian, Burmese Dream, Enchanted Chinese, and Siamese Love. The Harmonious British-Indian boasts bright white tone in contrast with Indian style dark wood furniture, while the Enchanted Chinese delivers a story of the close bond between Siam and China, the Burmese Dreams allows you to be transported to the colonial era with wooden and rattan furniture and engraved redwood walls that tell the stories of their origin and Siamese Love will make you fall in love with its reserved charm.

Nakhon Phanom Lao Vietnam The Beauty of the Far East 那空拍侬-老挝-越南 美丽的东线 Story & Photos by Chaton Chokpattara 28 l 24 LIFE M a g a z i n e

f you are planning a journey east of Thailand, there is no ASEAN route more popular than Nakhon Phanom – Lao – Vietnam route. This new “Gate to ASEAN” has been taken by millions of travelers since the 3rd Thai-Lao Friendship Bridge opened in 2011 and provided a better logistic solution between the 3 countries.

This promising route is full of opportunities and natural resources along its path, but what makes it unique is its distance. With only 367 kilometers long, the route requires less than a day drive from Nakhon Phanom (Thailand) to Thakhek (Lao), Nam Pao border crossing (Lao), Vinh (Vietnam), Ha Tinh (Vietnam), and Dong Hoi (Vietnam), while the return trip to Thailand can be taken on the same route or through Mukdahan border crossing. 从泰国向东的旅游线路，最热门的要属那空拍侬-老挝-越南，自从泰老 第三友谊大桥的竣工，使得三国之间的交流越来越方便。 连通三国的公路周围有着丰富的自然资源。这条公路总长367公里，令 人惊讶的是：只用一天的时间就能从那空拍侬开车，穿越泰老第三友谊大桥 进入老挝的甘蒙，然后进入越南的吊桥口岸、荣市、河靖、洞海。然后原路 返回泰国那空拍侬或者从穆达汉入境泰国。

Forget bumpy dirt roads in the past; the roads are now safer and smoother, and if you hold an ASEAN passport, you won’t need a visa to cross the borders. The road from Nakhon Phanom to Lao cuts through green hills and acres after acres of lush plantations and rice paddies. The first highlight of the trip lies within Hin Nam No Protected Area where the Central lndochina Limestone meets the Annamite Mountain Chain.

Countless limestone peaks line themselves up across Lao to Vietnam and it’s impossible not to stop for some amazing panoramas along the way.

Crossing from Lao into Vietnam, our destinations are 3 central Vietnam cities – Vinh, Ha Tinh, and Dong Hoi. Vinh and Ha Tinh are located in Nghe An province while Dong Hoi is located in Quang Binh province which is known as a backpacker paradise with beautiful sparkling seas on Vietnam east coast.

Just 16 kilometers east of the city center, Cua Lo Beach is widely recognized as the most beautiful beach in central Vietnam with serene sands, coconut groves, and chilling restaurants. Not far from the beach lies Huong Tich Temple, one of the most important temples in Vinh, but the path to the temple might be quite difficult as you need to cross a lake, hike 2 kilometers through a forest path, and ride as cable car 500 meters up the hill, but the experience will truly be worth it.

Driving south, we reach our second last destination, Ha Tinh.

This beautiful port city boasts colonial architecture with gable roof homes and gothic style church tower. Dong Loc Road Junction holds historic significance of Vietnam modern history because this is where Viet Minh soldiers held off the Americans. The junction was bombed by American bombers again and again and the legend of 10 brave female soldiers was born.

The city of Vinh, the capital of Nghe An province, is dubbed as “the gate to southern Vietnam” and it is home to one of the most important monument of Vietnam’s history, “Ho Chi Minh Square”.

It’s impossible to miss this historic square as an 18 meter tall statue of Ho Chi Minh stands majestically in front of the park. Vinh is the birthplace of this Vietnam hero who won Vietnam its independence from the French, and if you take a short drive out of town to Hoang Tru village, you can visit his childhood home as well.

自驾游这条线路并不艰难，路况 比较好。还有个好处就是泰国人不用 办理签证。进入老挝最初的路段都是 比较平缓的山路，随后进入森林保护 区，路两旁大山被茂盛的植被覆盖， 最显眼的要属这里高高挺拔的山峰， 群峰连绵。一只延续要越南。路边也 有很对休息站，在这里您可以停留片 刻拍照留念。

进入越南后，我们可以去游览越 南中部的3个城市，分别是：荣市、 海靖和洞海 。荣市和海靖在乂安 省，而洞海则在广平省。这也是背包 客的聚集地，因为他们非常喜欢越南 东海岸的宁静，。 荣市位于越南的乂安省，被称 为“通往南部的大门”。最著名的景 点是“胡志明广场”，广场内有胡志 明先生的雕像，高达18米。荣市是胡 志明先生的故乡，是他带领越南人民

赢得了抗法战争的胜利。开车出城后 进入黄祖村，那里才是胡志明先生真 正的故居。 从荣市开车向东16公里就到了著 名的格老海滩，也是越南中部最美得 海滩。细腻的沙子，摇曳的椰子树， 还有很多小吃店。从海滩出发不远就 可以到“皇帝寺”，这里也是越南人 最喜欢来拜佛的地方。去这个寺庙的 路可不好走，要先坐船，然后穿越2 公里的山路，然后坐缆车到山顶，在 步行500米才和可以到达目的地。 从荣市开车出来一直向南边行 驶，很快就进入了海靖市。这里还有 殖民地时期的建筑，那时的建筑一般 都是采用等边设计方案来建造的，还 有教堂式的钟楼。还有一个重要的旅 游景点就是“三叉东楼”。这里以前 越南战争时期的交通要道，那时美国 战机不断的向这里投放炸弹，后来这 里也就有了“10位女烈士”的故事。

Dong Hoi

The road along the eastern coast of Vietnam leads us to Dong Hoi, Vietnam’s new industrial zone and deep-water port.

Despite its modern development, small fisherman wharfs and lively fish markets are still the way of life here. Every time a fishing boat pulls in, you’ll see a circus of merchants flocking in to get their fresh prawns, shells, and fishes.

Dong Hoi makes the perfect base for exploring Phong Nha Cave,

one of the biggest caves with underground river in the world which is already approved as UNESCO World Heritage site.

A boat ride is required to get you inside and discover thousands of unbelievable stalagmites and stalactites.

To fully enjoy the trip across eastern ASEAN and experience the best it has to offer, you should at least plan for a 4-5 days trip!

Phong Nha Cave

从海靖市出来，沿着越南的东海 岸线，就到了“洞海市”。这里有着 集中的工业园区和深水港口，这里也 有一些陈旧的码头供渔船停靠。我们 可以在这里体验一番这里的农贸市 场。在码头，如果有渔船停靠，商贩 就会抢着购买渔船上的海鲜。 这也暗示我们越南的海洋资源是 特别丰富的。游览过这里的市中心

后，我们可以去这里最美的峰牙溶洞 看看。这里的溶洞在全世界都是非常 有名的。溶洞必须乘坐小船才可以进 入，里面不计其数的钟乳石，就连自 己也不敢相信自己的眼前的一切！

这条自驾游旅游路线，建议用时 4-5天，这样您才能发现更多的不为 人知的魅力，这就是东南亚的东线自 驾游，这条线路永远是那么的淳朴。

alay Peninsula is riddled with compelling history and unique cultures and traditions. The tip of southern Thailand is a part of this lively region and many important trade routes have been firmly established between Thailand and Malaysia, but the relationship between the people of the 2 countries goes beyond just a commercial relationship.

Located by the border of Thailand and Malaysia, Songkhla is the center of and commerce in southern

Thailand. The bustling city is the weekend destination, not just for people in surrounding provinces, but for Malaysians who can conveniently drive across the border to go shopping in Songkhla as well.

Crossing between the 2 countries today is never a hassle as there are 3 permanent border crossings to choose depending on your destination. The first and the most prominent is Sadao Border Crossing which connects to Bukit Kayu Hitam Border Crossing in Kedah, Malaysia. The second being

Ban Prakob Border Crossing in Natawee that will direct you to Duraineburong Border Crossing in Padang Terap District, Kedah, Malaysia.

The last is Padang Besar Border Crossing in Sadao, Thailand and Padang Besar Border Crossing in Perlis, Malaysia.

Don’t be surprised to find the crossings quite busy as there are many shoppers heading to duty free shops on Malaysian side every day. As for us, shopping is not a priority, learning new experience and seeing something new are!

We greet Malaysia with “Selamat Pagi” (Good morning) from Sadao Border Crossing as we enter Kedah. Kedah is a big state located in north western Malaysia by the border of Songkhla and Yala. The state was honourably known as “Darul Aman” or the “Abode of peace” and was a part of Siam during the reign of King Rama V before it was transferred to the British by Anglo-Siamese Treaty. With rich soil and plains, Kedah is perfect for agriculture and it is dubbed as the food producing state of Malaysia.

Besides serene sceneries of endless rice paddies, the villages along the highway still hold

traditional Malaysian lifestyle.

A lot of people here still cook the same recipe their ancestors did a century ago, they still live in rare traditional houses with kite tile roof (diamond shape tile), and a lot of antiques are preserved well and even some are still in use. This traditional way of life reflects clearly in the Thai-Malay villages in Pendang and Kuala Muda where over 80,000 Malaysians are of Thai descendants. They still hold Buddhism by their hearts and never stray far from Thai culture since they moved to Kedah during the reign of King Rama V.

马来半岛是有着悠久的历史和 深厚的文化底蕴的地方。泰国的南 部也是马来半岛的一部分，一直延 伸到马来西亚。两国人民在这条线 上频繁的贸易往来，反映了两国之 间的深厚友谊。

宋卡府是可以说是泰国南部重 要的贸易省份。每个星期都有不计 其数的马来西亚人来宋卡，这里也 是马来西亚人的购物天堂。宋卡和 马来西亚的边境线上有着三个重要 的口岸，分别是： 沙道口岸、 坝 高口岸、巴丹勿刹口岸。 如果您时 间有限可以选择在口岸附近的免税 店购物，如果您有更多的时间，我 建议您去体验一下马来西亚的风土 人情，相信您一定会迷恋上这里。

这次旅行我们将从沙道口岸入境 马来西亚西北部的吉打州。吉打州与 泰国的也拉府、宋卡府接壤。吉打州 以前叫做“达鲁阿曼”意思是和平之 地。在拉玛五世时期这里曾是泰国的 领土。后来受到英国的殖民统治，则 将吉打州交由英国统治。吉打州土地 平整，大米特别出名。所以吉打州还 有马来西亚的“鱼米之乡”。 除了美丽的稻田和山峰以外，在 吉打州的农村还有延续着马来人最原 始的生活方式。无论是饮食习惯，还 是马来人屋顶砖瓦的排列方式和古老 品的收藏。这些才是马来人真正的生 活方式。但是这里还住着很多马来籍 的泰国后裔，从拉玛五世时期开始就 有大约80000人居住在瓜拉巫打县和 奔党县。您可以来这里参观他们现在 的生活方式，值得欣赏的是他们的宗 教信仰，一直在这里根深蒂固。

Kedah is home to Balai Besar, a palace built by Sultan Mohamad Jiwa, the 19th sultan of Kedah, in 1735. Inspired by his visit to Palembang, Indonesia, the palace was beautifully crafted with wood, but unfortunately it was lost to fire. The Balai Besar we see today is the restoration of the original palace and it is used as the royal events such as the sultan of Kedah’s royal weddings and ceremonies.

Another famous Kedah attraction that cannot be missed is the Alor Setar Tower. This towering tower stands 165.5 meters tall and ranked as 19th tallest communication tower in the world.

An elevator will take you 88 meters above ground to the observation deck and a restaurant with spectacular panoramas of the city, mosque, rivers, and Kedah skyline miles away.

吉打州其他著名的景点要 属“光大臣巴彦宫殿”，建造于 1735年。灵感来自于吉打州的苏 丹19世Mohamad Jiwa 去参观苏门 答腊岛后，用木材作为地板修建而 成。这里曾遭遇过大火，后来在翻 修后用于加冕典礼、婚礼庆典和吉 打州的重要活动。

绝对不能错过要属“亚罗士 打电视塔”，高165.5米，电视塔 高度在世界排名19位。我们可以乘 坐电梯直接到达第88层的观景台。 这里还要餐厅，会议室。放眼望去 整个吉打州尽收眼底。

These are only a few attractions the charming state of Kedah has to offer. This gem of Malaysia has much more waiting for you to discover, so why not mark your calendar for your next trip to Kedah now and find out for yourself how charming Malay Peninsula is! 这里提到的只是吉打州的一部分，马来西亚的这个明珠永远欢迎您的到来！

Chiangrai Shangri-La The Great Adventure 清莱-香格里拉 Story & Photos by Chaton Chokpattara

T

he name Shangri La may sound familiar if you have read the legendary novel, “The Lost Horizon”. It pictures the utopia hidden amidst the steep mountains where people live peacefully for eternity. Such place is yet to be discovered and it still remains the Tibetan mystery of the lost utopia ‘til this day.

Learning of the legend, Chinese government renamed Zhongdian, a county in the province of Yunnan, into Shangri-La in 2001.

Zhongdian fits into many descriptions of Shangri-La. It is a part of snowy mountain ranges, it’s home of native Tibetan people with Vajrayana/Tibetan Buddhism, and it is surrounded by vibrant colours of breathtaking forest, lakes, and flowery plains.

This Chinese “marketing scheme” turned out to be more successful than originally expected with the name Zhongdian slowly faded away and millions of people now travel to the land called Shangri-La.

香格里拉这个名字对于大家来说 是不是特别耳熟。“消失的地平线” 讲述了高山上的永恒和平宁静之地， 那里的人没有生老病死，在一起和平 的相处，真的有这样的宁静之地吗？ 到现在还是没有找到这样的永恒之 地，仅仅只是幻想而已。 中国政府让梦想变为现实，在 2001年将云南省中甸县改名为香格里 拉。这里有传说中的高山，有着原始 的藏族文化，有着藏族的寺庙和立体 气候，美丽的花场。中国政府的这次 行动远远超出的意料，将原来已经被 遗忘的小县城变成了每年接待上百万 游客的旅游城市。

t’s not impossible to travel from Thailand to Shangri-La, but you need to be well-prepared. If flying is your choice, then it’s a breeze to fly to a city in Yunnan and ride a bus to the mystical city. However, a long journey is much more memorable and a 5,500 kilometers return trip along the R3A highway across Thailand, Lao, and China will surely be marked as unforgettable.

The journey begins at Chiangkong, Chiangrai, cross the 4th Thai-Lao Friendship Bridge into Huaysai, Kwang Bor Kaew, Lao, then through Jinghong, Xishuangbanna, Kunming, Dali, Lijiang, and finally Shangri-La by the eastern border of Tibet where snowy mountains and colourful forest await.

Driving through Lao on the first leg of the journey reveals vast panoramas of golden rice paddies and lush mountains surrounding small villages in Huay Sai and Luang Nam Tha. Luang Nam Tha sits on the border of Lao and

China and you can drive across from Boten, Lao, into Mohan, China. Unlike the road through Lao, the journey from Mohan to Jinghong and Xishuangbanna is full of steep valleys, wild jungles, and over 40 tunnels and daring bridges. The nature around Jinghong is amazing, but what’s more fascinating is its unique culture and history. If time permit, you should definitely spend a couple of days here to enjoy the attractions and food here.

Chiangkong, Chiangrai

The terrain slowly changes as we continue up R3A highway pass Kunming, Dali, and Lijiang.

Notable landmark includes the First Bend of the Yangtze River, Honghe Bridge (one of the tallest bridge in the world with the height of 180 meters), Dinosaurus Valley in Chuxiong, Mushroom Village in Nanhua, Tiger Leaping Gorge (one of the deepest gorge in the world), the city of Dali by Erhai Lake which has over 800 years of history, and the millennia old Lijiang city.

You might not have noticed it, but with the altitude of 3,500 – 4,000 meters, reaching Lijiang is already like reaching the roof of the world. The atmosphere on the way to Shangri-La could be quite thin, but considering the vistas, you are on your way to the heaven on earth! Shangri-La during October is exceptionally beautiful with most of the trees turning red, orange, and yellow as winter creeps in. It’s impossible not to visit Blue Moon Valley for more spectacular views from the

cable car, and visit Songzanlin Monastery, the largest Tibetan Buddhist monastery in China and one of the most important Tibetan Buddhist monasteries.

The 14 days journey along 5,500 kilometers of amazing terrains and views from Thailand to Shangri-La will always be one of our greatest and longest trip and we hope you will find an opportunity to plan and make this amazing trip as we have done.

从丽江开始我们就已经处在高 原行驶状态，这里平均海拔在35004000米，空气稀薄、气候寒冷、风景 秀丽。不久就可以到达香格里拉， 十月份这里满山树叶开始变色，黄 红橙三色交错。然后乘坐缆车欣赏蓝 月谷，去松赞林寺拜佛，这里也被称 为“小布达拉宫”，也是西藏13处重 要寺庙之一。寺庙是300年前由五世 达赖喇嘛主持修建的。 从泰国到香格里拉总行 程5500公里，用时14天。这就是我们 的心中度假胜地，我们也希望读者能 都像我们一样去体验这美妙的行程。
