Shika Snow Mountain Scenic Area is located 7 kilometers southwest Gyanthang Town of Shangri-La County. With its highest altitude being 4,449 meters above the sea level, this area covers 65 square kilometers; and its elevation drop is 1,179 meters. Due to the high attitude and vertical climate, we could appreciate various alpine and sub-alpine landforms and vegetation. In the cable car we can have a wonderful birds-eye view of Gyanthang (the Old Town of Shangri-la), the Ganden-Songzanlin Monastery, Napa Lake and Shangri-La Airport.
