A big fire burned down two thirds of the "Moonlight City" Dukezong Ancient Town of Shangri-la County, Deqen Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of SW China's Yunnan Province in the small hours of Jan. 11, 2014. As the key junction of the Ancient Tea Horse Road, the Moonlight City was founded in 1300 years ago and was once the biggest and best-preserved Tibetan social buildings.

The Dukezong Ancient Town had left us a large number of beautiful photos, of which we chose some to cherish the memory of the old days.
