翻過雲霧重重的白馬雪山，我們到奔子欄用了午餐，就續程往香格里拉。
After passing the cloudy Baima Snow Mountain, we stopped at Benzilan for lunch and then just went ahead to Shangri-La.

在梅里雪山過了一夜，原本規劃次日一早出發去明永冰川，但這往返就得耗上一整天，加上我們當日得趕回香格里拉，為了避免突發狀況而延誤接下來的行程，就決定次早直接折返香格里拉。
Our original plan of the second day at Meili Snow Mountain was to visit the Mingyong Glacier under Kawagebo Peak. But the whole journey might take about a day and we needed to turn back to Shangri-La the same day. To prevent any incidents that may delay our whole trip, we decided to skip visiting Mingyong Glacier and went back to Shangri-La in the morning.

到了香格里拉後，我們的旅程就剩下三天了。接著的兩天，只攻香格里拉（中甸）－梅里雪山（飛來寺）－香格里拉，是此次雲南行中海拔最高、沿途景色最優的一段。這一篇是從香格里拉出發，到奔子欄的沿途景色。奔子欄，藏語的意思是“美麗的沙壩”，位於雲南省迪慶州德欽縣的白馬雪山腳下，在金沙江的西岸，214國道從這穿過。自古以來，奔子欄是交通要道，是“茶馬古道”的必經之路，是從雲南北部進入西藏或四川的咽喉之地。
The coming two days, we travelled from Shangri-La to Meili Snow Mountain and turned back. This was the most beautiful part of our Yunnan tour. This article shares the pictures form Shangri-La to Benzilan. Benzilan is located in Deqin County, at the foot of Baima Snow Mountain and the west side of Jinsha River. Since ancient times, Benzilan has an important place for the transport from North Yunnan to Tibet or Sichuan. The G214 National Road (main road from Dali to Tibet) goes through here nowaday, and was also a must pass through place of ancient “Tea Horse Road” or the South Silk Road thousand years ago.

下午三點，到了香格里拉市的酒店後，就是自由活動的時間了。我們三個都忙著補眠，下午五點多才出門覓食，因在酒店附近找不到合心意的餐廳，最後打的到市中心的壇城廣場一帶覓食，順便走走。在這海拔3,300米的地方，幸運的是，我們都沒什麽高原反應，就是晚上比較難以入眠。
15pm, we arrived our hotel at Shangri-La. After a short sleep, we began to look for dinner in the neighbourhood of our hotel, but finally we went to the city center to have KFC. Then we had a walk around the Tancheng Square before sunset. Luckily, we didn’t feel uncomfortable at the altitude of 3,300 m, beside hardly to have a nice sleep in night.
