Introduction 

Guishan Park is situated at the heart of Shangri-La town and is home to a Tibetan praying wheel that attracts tourists both from home and abroad very eager to try moving it as they send their prayers. Located in the ancient town of Dukezong with a Buddhist temple set on top of a hill making way to at least 200 flight of stairs where thousands of scriptures are inscribed on the prayer wheel. The view in the park is magical when it gets flooded with colors from the lights installed to bring the place alive and attract tourists also at night.

Major attractions and activities to do on a visit 

The two main attractions that flood this park with tourists are the huge prayer wheel and the temple. This famous and humongous prayer wheel which must be accessed by way of climbing challenging stairs doesn’t stop many visitors from ascending and spinning it in the hope of getting more luck and appreciating the locals' culture and way of life. The temple also is the best place to practice religious practices like burning an incense stick and walking three times around the temple.

At night, a visit to this park is completely rewarding with floodlights brightening up the temple and the prayer wheel in the most perfect way. The town can also be seen very lit up in the twilight of the dark and traditional public dances can be witnessed at the square between 7-9 in the evening where you can join in and enjoy the beauty of Chinese culture.
