The coldest city in southern China, the temperature is lower than that in the north, but it attracts a large number of tourists every year

In the north, due to the collective supply of heating, every household has heating, and it is not too cold to bring it indoors. But in the south, although the temperature is higher than that in the north, due to the moisture in the air, it brings a cold feeling to people. There is no heating in the south. No wonder some people in the north sighed: I am a wolf from the north, but I was frozen into a dog in the south. In a certain city in southern China, its body temperature is lower than that in the north, and it is really cold and inhuman.

Shangri-La is a tourist attraction in Yunnan, and there are a large number of tourists every year. Its beautiful scenery is indeed unforgettable. But if you want to go to Shangri-La in winter, you should bring more clothes, because you may be really cold when you go. The temperature in Shangri-La winter in January can reach minus 20°C, and the average temperature also reaches minus 10°C-minus 15°C. After reading this data, you may be wondering, isn’t Shangri-La a city in the south? Why is the temperature lower than that in the north?

It turns out that Shangri-La is a high-altitude and low-latitude area, and its geographical location is relatively special. Six microclimate zones were generated from the southwest monsoon image of India, which belongs to the typical "three-dimensional agricultural climate". The climate mainly includes monsoon climate, three-dimensional climate, plateau climate and terrain microclimate.

We all know that the higher the altitude, the lower the temperature. The highest altitude of Shangri-La reaches 5,545 meters, the lowest altitude is 1,503 meters, and the average altitude reaches 3,459 meters. It is no wonder that the temperature is so low at such a high altitude.

In addition to the altitude factor, the temperature in Shangri-La is also affected by the terrain microclimate. Shangri-La's terrain is low in the south and high in the north. The south has warm and humid air from India, with abundant precipitation and a humid climate. In the north, due to the high mountains blocking the warm and humid southern airflow, the climate is dry, and the terrain factors form a variety of microclimates with low temperatures, forming the climate feature of "different days in different places".

Shangri-la means "the sun and the moon in the heart" in Tibetan. It is located in the northwest of Yunnan and is a world-renowned tourist city. It first appeared in the famous novel "Lost Horizon" by British writer James Hilton. Later, it became famous all over the world because it was made into a movie and won an Oscar. Many people remember this poetic name.

Although Shangri-La is a low-latitude southern city, its average temperature is only 5.3°C, and the temperature in winter is as low as minus ten degrees Celsius, making it a cold place. If you want to travel there, please make sure to plan your time and bring warm clothes.
