Our hotel room had a perfect view of the Monastery to observe at sunrise, sunset and during the day. Our visit was thorough as we had a entrance fee as part of our hotel stay at the Songstam Hotel. Our guide provided in depth knowledge of the various building that make up the monastery.

Dukezong Ancient Town

Reviewed By internationallife

You must be in the main square at 7pm to experience the dancing. It’s an unforgettable experience and defiantly one of the highlights of my Yunnan journey. I spent a few days in the old town and just loved observing the Tibetan people and the ways of life here. It’s great for keen photographers as well. So much to capture.
