Shangri-La CultureShangri-La's culture was rich and diverse, combining Tibetan culture, Buddhist culture, and many other elements.
In terms of religion, Shangri-La was a place with a rich Buddhist culture. Temples such as Songzan Lin Temple carried Buddhist traditions, such as Dharma, music, Buddhist education, and other elements. The believers here would perform religious activities such as chanting scriptures. The temple buildings such as Baiyujiang Temple outside the city and Pudacuo International Guanyin Temple had beautiful scenery and interior decorations.
In terms of folk culture, there were traditional ethnic festivals such as the Little Zhongdian Dala Festival."Da" meant "tiger" and "La" meant "month". It was held in the summer when the cattle were fat and the horses were strong, and the crops were lush to celebrate the harvest. During the festival, there would be singing and dancing performances, traditional Tibetan costume competitions, horse racing, bonfire parties, as well as various traditional specialty snacks and intangible cultural relics displays.
From an artistic and cultural point of view, Songzanlin Monastery had exquisite murals and other precious cultural relics. In terms of literature and culture, there were also books such as Shangri-La Cultural Research and Shangri-La Cultural Map that explored its culture.
In terms of food culture, the local cuisine was a new fusion of Chinese and Tibetan cuisine. Traditional snacks such as ham, butter tea, and nitrogen cakes were quite distinctive. You could also taste the special dishes of Tibetan and Naxi people, such as roasted whole lamb and yogurt.
From the perspective of tourism and cultural communication, the first "Shangri-La" cultural tourism festival in the world enhanced the popularity and influence of Shangri-La in all aspects, promoted cultural inheritance and exchange, displayed Shangri-La's rich cultural heritage and unique folk customs, and attracted the participation of many tourists from home and abroad.

All of these were the display windows of Shangri-La culture.
