Shangri-La!!!




We made it to Shangri-La! Zhongdian is home to many Tibetan minority villagers. We got the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to visit a Tibetan family, in the foothills of the Himalayas. We tasted Yak butter tea, buckwheat, and Yak cheese. When mixed together, it tasted a lot like cheerios. We learned about the burial traditions in this community, and wow--was that different. We also visited Bitahai Lake. It rained a lot, but we enjoyed the hike anyway.
