Exploring The Beauty of Northwest Yunnan

For thousands of years, only humans and horses treaded the mountains of Southwest China as they followed an ancient pathway through the Chinese hinterlands and the Tibetan Plateau. Along the unpaved and rugged pathway that was formed, commodities like tea, salt and sugar flowed into Tibet. Meanwhile, horses, cows, furs, musk and other local products made their way to the outside world. The road was called the Ancient Tea-horse Road, and it stretched across more than 4,000km, mainly through Southwest China Sichuan and Yunnan and Tibet.

History remembers Shangri-La original name as Gyalthang, and Lijiang as Sadham, because of the lush beauty green fields that cover the valley floor for much of the year. Both places are great valley once acted as a significant staging and departure point for the most grueling portion along the Tea Horse Road, a 1,800 kilometers stretch to the great Himalayan market town of Lhasa. If they survived this perilous section, they carried on to further destinations of Nepal and India.  Arro Khampa have built hotels in Lijiang and Shangri-La which enable guests to experience the different cultures and landscapes inherent in these regions.
