My journey of >100 steps up to the Songzanlin Lamasery in Shangri-la possibly caused me to get altitude sickness, something which, as a Singaporean, I had never experienced before. The original monastery was destroyed during the Cultural Revolution and this, its replacement, modelled on the Potala Palace in Lhasa, Tibet, is the biggest in Shangri-la. You can catch me in "Wonders of Yunnan" in the Apr 08 edition of "Food & Travel - Kitchen Cuisine" published by Key Editions Pte Ltd.
