Really well done pleasant video!! I am an American from NYC living in Saigon the past 30 years. I saw this video when it was first posted and decided to make a trip there with my wife as we were also interested to visit Lijiang. We found a great all inclusive tour for a very reasonable price as tours like this are crazy cheap from Vietnam. Just as we were about to forward the tour cost.... bang! Anyway... watching the video again... I am resolved to go there when we can.
Best of luck when you eventually get there.. You'll have a ball..
Great tour of Shangri La. Thank you for sharing your trip.
Its resonance! I can feel the happiness of your heart!
Absolutely fantastic video. Really have enjoyed it.

Hi Steve, I am also a traveling Chef and visited Shangri-La back in 2018, one thing I like to add on you had forgotten to mention ! That there also is a real grown Shangri- La wine available which the red is not bad at all. cheers, Joachim
Cheers buddy, thanks for sharing that
That's caterpillars fungus things is Himalaya Viagra called "Yarsagumba". It's very expensive .
Look good im never been ther i think like classic and autentik.am is singer lobby at shanhrila hotel surabaya .nice to meet you.now am off sing beacause lockdown
I spent several years of my childhood here and have been homesick for it recently. We lived just at the edge of old town. Thank you for your delightful video exploring it -- seeing it brought happy tears to my eyes.
When you go back next time it will be helpful to know that if you're pointing at something that deserves reverence (like the religious murals, statues, prayer wheels, etc) you should point with your whole hand, palm up. Pointing with one finger is considered disrespectful. Pointing with your whole hand is a tiny thing but it'll help the locals feel that you respect their culture.
I'll be in lijiang on the 3rd of December. Your videos definitely helps me a lot. Thanks.
Excellent. It will be busy I suspect but you'll love it.. Try to get to Shangri La
@@Steve-Owens normally I travel to China each year on December month. Local people will not travel so much on December and can consider on that period is off peak.
You walk lots of , you have great power
I traveled the same route, Kunming-Dali-lijiang-Shangrila in 2017
Thank you sharing this video….Maybe is so late,But I want tell you about the Old Town of Shangri-la,The five statue is Tibetan monks with Chinese soldiers,And the 90% shop is Chinese people on the Old Town,
Are you saying that the Old town is mostly Han Chinese?
@@Steve-Owens I mean is 90% of the shops and hotels are owned by Han Chinese,
@@Kelsang- OK, I didn't know that. Thanks
Where did you get that info? Did you ask in each shop?
Good movie of Shangrila Steve I was there at the French restaurant and Helen's pizza good job on the movie. For best Korean chicken go to the Korean restaurant near the square in the center of the Old Town where they dance on weekends.
many people said “zhaxidele” to you which means good wishes something like that. And it is a kind of greeting like "Nihao "
Oh my gosh!! How funny is that?! That place that you went into with the swords is where I bought my chopsticks. I highly recommend that place if you're going to buy chopsticks, but he is a stickler on prices.
LOL.. Nice!
Hi was watching your video, wonder how you travelled on your own from Kunming to Shangrila. I am really interested how you manage. I dont read
mandarin but can speak a little mandarin.
Right now, I can't recall. it was not complicated..
HI, Steve, I had been livin in Shangri-la for 3 years, and witnessed half of this old town burnt down in2013 and rebuilt in 2014, so what you see is not quite old, but rebuilt ones.
TomWang Ctrip
Still half remained the same, right?
@@firefly4784 yes,the local residental area still remains
@@firefly4784 and also the temple he visited remain the same
TomWang Ctrip
Thanks!
What the girl was selling are not worms but a fungus, "yarsa gumba"( cordiceps) very prized for its health benefits, including as an aphrodisiac . It's an important source of revenue for people in the Himalayas, in Nepal, Buthan and Tibet. It is also sold as tea.
Love to watch my ancestors culture who came from Purang, Tibet.
Happy to have you along..
your name is indian
Interesting to see an amalgamation of Han and Tibetan Chinese architecture ;)
tibetan is not Chinese
Whites are not American, and British are not European.@@dorjeedamdul5589
The word Annex has a dystopian ring to it
Steve, you are a very cute old man... 😄
Wow! Amazing digs again 👍
It’s funny, until now, I always thought Shangri-la was a mythical fantasy utopia, I didn’t realise it existed in real life as well.
It is a very enchanting place isn’t it.
Loved the jolly monk, practicing his mantra voice haha!
That thin air looks absolutely exhausting.
The tibetans certainly love their bright colours don’t they? All those prayer flags and bright adornments inside the temple areas. I’m so glad they seem to be openly keeping the tibetan traditions alive, despite the awful things that happened in the 1950’s.
Haha @ that little baby on the back of that moped.
It looks like you almost had the place to yourselves, so few people; such a difference to the other places you have been to.
An absolutely fascinating video, Steve, thanks once again for showing us around and sharing this amazing place with us, it’s much appreciated. ❤️🙏👍
Thanks Rick, Although there have been some awful things happen in Tibet over the years, there is some hope that here, the traditions and this ethnic minority survive and prosper but I do accept this may not be case all over China..
What's amazing, is seeing just how different regions of China are. Here they look and talk differently to other parts of China and are using a language that bears no resemblance to Mandarin.. I love it :o)
What awful things in 1950?
Steve Owens
Traditions and cultures of all ethnic minorities are well advocated and preserved across China. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be able to observe them on your trips, would you? I am sure your media have been painting a different picture though.
It was not called Shangri-la before. It was called Zhongdian. They changed the name to attract foreign tourists, marketing gimmick.
That's right. Shangri La is just a name in a book from the 30"s. "Lost horizon". Here they renamed the town just for the tourists. I have been there.
8:17 Tibetan traditional dance called "gorshey".......people do it for exercise
26:20 it's a Tibetan dice game called "sho para"(usually only adults play it while drinking idk why they show kids playing it)
Thanks for sharing that information
I visited this place in 2018 and I stayed in the same hotel
what name of the hotel?
In all of these shops you should be able to bargain the price by quite a lot
Khốn Nạn
Hi Steve and better Half. The Tibetan Monks do the tinshaw and the bowls out of special material. it you wish to buy one the real ones have some special metals called rare earth minerals. It is forged in the mountain and the special ingredient it from there too. I had the privilege to have one i my hand ant it is full of special energy. The smell is very distinct and rare earthiest. If you can find one you have a special artifact from Tibets past. Peace, Love, Lazaro
Thanks for the Info.. :o) 👍👌
NICE VIDEO, GIVE YOU A SUPPORT. SUBSCRIBED. 👍
Look just like on the TV looks really mysterious let me know how your trip turned out
Will do :o)
Those little caterpillars are the The Viagra Of The Himalayas, but be careful using them at high altitude :-)
:o)
How long are they traveling??? Like it began 6 Months ago in Korea and they arme still on the Journey ^^
4 and a Half years so far and no plan to stop, ever. As yet
@@Steve-Owens Thats incredible! Awesome. I am really happy for you.
But may one ask how you are able to afford that?
独克宗古城，I've been there before😁
When i was a kid, reading Donald duck comic that mention Shangri-La story, i think it just a myth place 😂
Donald duck indeed. Interesting recollection.. 👍
those worm-like are very expensive roots of a plant from high mountain, you should've bought some and drink it which will make Michele happy at night
LOL
LOL
LOL
yibai= 100 you are right👍👍
Everywhere in China, Taiwan and maybe HK has a lot of steps to climb at tourist attractions, I guess that's why the locals are slim apart from the genetic aspect. Lol
Indeed..
Steve, I know exactly what Shambala Antique Shop means to you and Michelle. 🤔
j k 😅
Really LOL... :o)😉
丽江到香格里拉的高铁今天开通了
Wish I could be there..
Shangri la or gyanganj...here you can achieve your life goal..with hidden spiritual gurus
Shambala's the land of the pure in Buddhism? China's developed all her places so well and its' clean everywhere. There are such a great variety of fruit and veg, and everything else and everything you can buy in the world. Place like Dali, Kunming, Lijiang etc are pollution free and are most cities all over China today?
Anne Teoh
Urr.. no. Yunnan is pollution free because there is not much industry there. Yunnan is one of the poorest provinces in China actually. Other Chinese cities are getting better with pollution though and has been transitioning to renewable energy
A few years ago, a huge fire burned down many old buildings.
are y in Tibet?
I am with Tibetan people..
Ini Susana pedesaan sepi banget.. APA settingan ya.
Did you pay for the hat?
did u pay for that hat?
What Hat
@@Steve-Owens ready sorry, my mistake. *_* '
taiman chan that was his own hat 😂
@@shaoxinran i did say sorry yet. 😂
Tibetan city in Tibet.
welcome to Yunnan
@@edwardsnowden8821 Edward, is that really you? 😂
@@karmicpopcorn6440 tis i Mr popcorn
@@edwardsnowden8821 🤔👏👏👏
@@edwardsnowden8821 idk how they decided to put diqin in yunnan....its a tibetan autonomous prefecture,it should be a part of garze....
Locals’ public awareness and education have not been able to catch up with the infrastructure development of that town. Young generations should be better. I guess you don’t see as many young people spitting or blowing noses on the streets...
No its not old man! Sangrila is not here
Love that place , Hope the Chinese don’t ruin it . I have heard that the
Dali Lama is banned from there ,Damn shame.
A different part of the world but yes, it is a shame..
you know nothing，when you talk about something u should learn about it totally。
What are you talking about? The old town was burnt in a fire some years ago and the Chinese government rebuilt it. Dalai Lama, that biggest serf owner? You don't know Tibet was a medieval theocratic serfdom under Dalai Lama? CCP liberated all serfs and did land reforms to distribute lands to them. You want Dalai Lama to go back and enslave people again?
Dalai Lama is the monarch of slavery. It seems that you don't know about history and are misled by the false information of Western media. Stupid guy. ua-cam.com/video/Wvo8MXny5XI/v-deo.html&has_verified=1&bpctr=1576335022 （Tibetan truth）
Thanks for that link it was fascinating, I was looking for something like it but it's hard to find, I know a bit about this history, so thanks.
You really should not hold leaders in such reverence, they don't represent us, what was happening then and now is not good.
You are you. Live your life and try not to let stupid government decide your views, we are all connected and not connected in the same way, a centralised government doesn't represent you any more that is does me.
You may like to label of yourself as Chinese, I might Label myself as European? But these labels are silly. China is a region of wonderful mixed people, with great history of their own.
I come from Europe but I don't consider I belong to the Label European any more than a Carrot is a "Vegetable" but foremost it is a Carrot, it did not ask to be labelled a Vegetable and unless you told it over and over it was one, I hope that makes sense.
Have a wonderful life and thanks for the link.
Steve
Please Tibet and china is different
Tibetan is not a part of China
Stupid
keep on crying
