The Songzanlin Temple in Shangri La must be mentioned! Although it is on the plateau, it does not require any physical exertion. There are sightseeing buses to the entrance of the scenic area, and after entering, follow the tour guide to stroll slowly. The temple buildings are particularly spectacular, with red walls and golden roofs. My parents said they look like they are in a painting. The tour guide will talk about Tibetan culture and temple history, speaking slowly and patiently. My mother will repeatedly explain things she doesn't understand. It's warm to bask in the sun at noon, just add a coat in the morning and evening. After visiting the temple, you can also take a walk in the surrounding grassland and see the snow capped mountains in the distance. The wind is not strong, and the elders can also adapt.
The itinerary of the Starlight Lanmei is particularly suitable for the elderly. Shangri La also offers Tangka painting experience, which can be played indoors while sitting. The teacher will draw the outline in advance, and the elders only need to color it. My dad doesn't usually move, but he painted very carefully that day and even felt the Tibetan culture. During this period, the weather in Yunnan has been good, with sunny days every day. The photos are also beautiful, and the elders feel comfortable. I suggest you check the tour schedule on the Zudong Tourism Special Train. They are official agents and have all the schedules of the Starlight Lancang Mekong Express. You can find a suitable time to book your tickets as soon as possible, otherwise you may be sold out later.
I just took my parents for a ride two months ago, and the Starlight Lanmei tourist attractions are particularly suitable for elders. The pace is slow and it doesn't require physical exertion. During this period, the temperature in Yunnan is just right, which is very comfortable. Focus on several core scenic spots in Lijiang and Shangri La. The first must visit is Baisha Ancient Town in Lijiang, which is much less populated than the Old Town of Lijiang. The bluestone road is also flat, and parents can easily stroll around. In the ancient town, you can learn to write Dongba script with the intangible cultural heritage teacher, sit in the courtyard and write slowly without having to walk too far. My mother even brought home the "safe" script she wrote as a souvenir. In addition, you can also stroll around the old courtyard in the ancient town and see the old buildings of the Naxi people, enjoying the sunshine very comfortably. I recommend you to take a look at the foot sports travel special train. There are many guides shared by people who have been there, as well as many real-life photos, which can give you a more intuitive understanding.
