🇮🇹 Giant Prayer Wheel

La Giant Prayer Wheel (大转经筒 – Dà Zhuànjīngtǒng) è la ruota di preghiera tibetana più grande al mondo, alta 21 metri, dorata e decorata con mantra buddhisti. Situata sul colle a ovest della città antica, domina Shangri-La Old Town.

I pellegrini e i visitatori la fanno ruotare in senso orario come atto di devozione: servono decine di persone per metterla in movimento. Al tramonto, la ruota dorata riflette la luce creando un’atmosfera mistica.

Consiglio: sali i gradini che portano alla ruota per una vista spettacolare sulla città e sulle montagne circostanti.

🇬🇧 Giant Prayer Wheel

The Giant Prayer Wheel (大转经筒 – Dà Zhuànjīngtǒng) is the largest Tibetan prayer wheel in the world, standing 21 meters tall, golden, and decorated with Buddhist mantras. Located on a hill above the old town, it overlooks Shangri-La Ancient Town.

Pilgrims and visitors turn it clockwise as an act of devotion — it takes dozens of people to move it. At sunset, the golden wheel glows, creating a mystical scene.

Tip: climb the steps up to the wheel for panoramic views of Shangri-La and the surrounding mountains.
