Gedan Songzanlin Lamasery 噶丹松赞林寺
Songzanlin Monastery is a cultural anchor north of Shangri-La. Start with its setting, then give the halls time rather than rushing between photographs. Go to the scenic-area ticket entrance and choose admission-only or a package with transport and guiding according to what you need. Dress modestly with knees covered, and follow signs and staff directions about photography inside.
