Shangri-La Dukezong Ancient Town 香格里拉市独克宗古城
Use Dukezong as a contained arrival evening: walk a few lanes, choose a meal and pause before committing to a full regional itinerary. Look at the relationship between older building forms, restored streets and current businesses instead of trying to prove every corner is original. Keep any uphill park or prayer-wheel visit optional. The goal is to enjoy being in the town, with enough energy left to decide tomorrow’s monastery or nature outing clearly.
