Third floor

In 2014, it passed the certification of Guinness in Shanghai, the largest time wheel in China. Thousands of years ago, the Buddha incarnated in the image of Shilun Vajra. For the good fortune and wisdom of all living beings, he passed Shilun Vajra Dharma to King Yuexian of Shambhala. We are fortunate to be able to see the solemn statue of Shilun Vajra Buddha in Shangri La on the snowy plateau. Standing in the cultural and Expo Center, the statue of Shilun Vajra Buddha, with its exquisite and solemn statue, explains to people the birth and death laws of the universe and life in time. The whole statue is 21 meters high and weighs 20 tons. Its face is painted with gold. The rest of the statue is made of gold. Every detail of the statue explains and tells the story of time and the life experience of compassion and wisdom from all aspects. On May 28, 2015, the 11th Panchen Lama's blessing of Kaiguang made the whole Shilun Vajra Buddha have boundless merits. The wheel of time, the wheel of time, the wheel of life. It's lucky for us to listen to the Dharma in the snow plateau. We also hope that more people will be surrounded by compassion and wisdom when they come to the scenic area.

The exhibition hall of Tibetan weapons on the third floor shows you the exquisite casting technology of the Tibetan people, Shuiwen Dao, which is the pinnacle of Tibetan casting technology. Behind the Shuiwen Dao is not only the accumulation of Tibetan foundry's hard work, but also the precipitation of time and wisdom. Hunting civilization also has a qualitative leap after the emergence of muskets.

The time tunnel on the third floor seems to tell us the time of the plateau. Moonlight City - dukezong, the sound of horse's hooves on the stone road, shows the tenacity and courage of the caravan people. Commercial civilization blooms on the plateau, which also enables cultural exchange and dissemination. Here, you can imagine that in the middle of the night, the whole family is sitting by the fire pool, taking off the hard work of the whole day. The old lady's face is especially soft and kind in the fire light. In the distance, on the sunshine city, where the moon city is shining, Songzanlin temple stands quietly, waiting for the Dharma call to ring, and the voice of mercy praying for all living beings never stops.

As time goes by, the moonlight city is bustling and the sunshine city is solemn. Thousands of years later, the people of Shangri La are still bathed in the glory of the sun and the moon, inheriting the history and glory of their predecessors, and opening up their own way to Shangri La.
