Shangri-La Balagezong Scenic Area, located in the northwest of Shangri-La City, has a very magnificent natural scenery. It is said that the Blue Moon Canyon described in "Lost Horizon" is here, and it has been said among the locals that this is the place where the gods live, the real Shambhala. Now when you come to Shangri-La Balagezong Scenic Area, you can visit the deep canyons, towering snow-capped mountains, and drift in the beautiful valleys; you can also visit the original Tibetan ancient villages and take pictures of the beautiful scenery; you can also see the thousand-year-old Bodhi trees and natural pagodas Such rare natural wonders are well worth a visit.

Since the Balagezong Grand Canyon is located on the road from Shangri-La to Deqin, many tourists will stop by here when they go to Deqin, Meili Snow Mountain and other places. The scenic spot is mainly divided into two parts: the canyon area and the Balagu village, which are connected by sightseeing cars (the fare is included in the ticket). Generally, when tourists arrive at the scenic spot, they will first take a sightseeing bus (about 40 minutes) to Bala Village and play for about 1 hour. Then take a bus to Yazan, the entrance of the canyon area (about 20 minutes by car), play in the canyon for about 2-3 hours and return to the gate, and the whole journey takes about 4-6 hours. If time is tight, you can also choose to only play the canyon. In addition, there are several hiking routes deep in the scenic spot, which takes about 3-5 days. Professional outdoor enthusiasts can also go to explore.

Located on the west side of the scenic spot, Bala Village is an ancient Tibetan village with Tibetan-style dwellings hundreds of years ago. Around the village, there are dense vegetation, steep rock walls, and towering snow-capped mountains in the distance. The scenery is quiet and beautiful, and it is a good place to make a big movie.

The canyon area is the essence of the scenic spot. There are many branch gorges along the Shangri-La Grand Canyon. At present, there are two places that tourists can visit: Tongtian Gorge and Shangri-La Grand Canyon. The Shangri-La Grand Canyon is very deep, the river is green and swift, the surrounding trees are dense, and the scenery is magnificent. There is a 5-kilometer plank road in the valley, and tourists can walk along the plank road (about 1 hour). After arriving at the end of the plank road, you can take a car out of the valley to Tongtian Gorge, or you can choose to drift all the way down in the deep and beautiful canyon, and then take a car to Tongtian Gorge after arriving at Pier No. 2. What is interesting in Tongtian Canyon is the 700-meter suspended plank road. Walking on it, you can enjoy the beautiful landscape and experience the exciting feeling.

In addition to the canyon and the ancient village, there are two other must-sees in the scenic area. One is the thousand-year-old Bodhi tree near the entrance. The trunk grows out of the shape of a human palm. In another pasture located in the depths of Jiala Village, there is a Qudeng Mountain. The round spire on the top of this mountain is covered with white snow, and the bottom is a black round rock wall, which is very similar to the shape of Buddhist pagodas that can be seen everywhere in Tibetan areas. , known as the natural pagoda, to visit the natural pagoda needs to walk for about an hour from the end of the road in Gala Village, and interested tourists can go there.
