From Ya'an to Daocheng or from Shangri-La to Daocheng

I don’t know if you are talking about Shangri-La in Yunnan or Shangri-La Town in Daocheng County. If it is Shangri-La in Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan, there is a county road that is very close to Daocheng, but the road is a bit difficult to walk. It is also closer to Shangri-La if you take the main road.
