CHINA - Yunnan - Shangri-La

Tibetan Hospitality

Tibet is often called Shangri La, or "The Rooftop of the World", but there is no simple way to describe the mysterious province of Tibet in a few simple words. It is an amazing place that has some of the most breathtaking man-made and natural sites anywhere, and the Tibetan people seem to smile more than any people in the world. They welcome visitors with open arms and with a hospitality that is legendary. The tea is a mainstay of Tibetan hospitality, and a cup is instantly poured for anyone who enters a home. It's not really possible to refuse or to avoid drinking. Tibetan houses and hotels are extremely colorful and the design is uniquely Tibetan. We recommand strongly tibetan hotels when available : it's a unique experience.
