In the past month, I've been staying in Shangri-La, exploring the stunning landscapes and experiencing the Tibetan lifestyle. In this video, I visited some amazing spots: A Tibetan village where I camped in my van. Songzanlin Monastery, known as the 'Little Potala Palace,' the largest Tibetan Buddhist monastery in Yunnan. Napa Lake, a seasonal lake known for its beautiful wetlands, grasslands, and diverse wildlife such as horses, yaks, sheep, and birds. Dukezong Ancient Town, where I filmed the large prayer wheel.
