|Love the vastness of winter. Come to Pudacuo National Park. I've heard that the scenery here is stunning in summer, but I didn't expect that winter also has a different landscape✨ 📍Transportation: Buy a bus from Dukezong Ancient City to Pudacuo on the "Diqing Passenger Transport" public account, 15r/person, 30-40min by car. After getting on the bus, the driver will let everyone scan the code to buy a return ticket on the bus, the price is the same, there are return buses at 1/2/3/4/5/6 pm, choose the return bus according to your own play situation, super convenient~ The driver is also very enthusiastic, introducing the attractions and precautions along the way.

Take the scenic bus back to the entrance and start the return journey 👣Time reference: We took the passenger bus departing from the ancient city at 9:40 in the morning, bought tickets and entered at about 10:20, walked in a Buddhist way at Shudu Lake + often stopped to take pictures + eat, played for a long time about 2-3 hours, took the bus to Bitahai at about 13:30, and took the bus from Pudacuo back to the ancient city at 16:00 in the afternoon, and arrived at the ancient city at about four and a half in the afternoon~ 💙Feelings: I love this vastness, where the eye can see is beautiful scenery, very lucky to catch up with good weather and snow, grassland, lake, snow scene, and yaks, horses, squirrels of relatives, bks the closest place to heaven, can not forget for a long time after coming back. Precautions: 1⃣Remember to buy oxygen in advance, do not ignore the altitude of more than 3,000 meters. The driver of the passenger bus recommends that a normal person prepare a can of oxygen, if it is a person who has not been to the plateau/headache/cold/menstrual/elderly etc. prepare two cans of oxygen. 2⃣Oxygen should be inhaled in advance, you can take a breath from time to time when you go up by car 3⃣The walking distance in Pudacuo is long, be sure to walk slowly according to your own situation and rest from time to time 4⃣There is not much food for sale in the scenic area, we all solve lunch by ourselves, so remember to bring dry food in advance, such as some bread, biscuits, chocolate, etc.

Yunnan's Pudacuo National Park, is a sight to behold in autumn. 📍Pudacuo National Park ❤Recommended reason: Pudacuo is located in the 'Three Parallel Rivers' World Natural Heritage Conservation Belt, with an altitude of 4159 meters. The lowest point is in Jinzi Gully in the east of Bitahai, with an altitude of 3200 meters, an average altitude of 3700 meters, and the main vegetation is dominated by alpine cold-temperate coniferous forests. 🌟Highlights: From mid to late September, plants such as long-bracted fir are gradually dyed golden by the autumn wind, like a colorful carpet covering the mountains and rivers, forming exquisite autumn oil paintings with a large number of lakes and waters. 📝Travel suggestions: 📍Hiking Luorong Village: 🌟Highlights: About 1 hour, from the entrance of the village along the Shudu Gang River forest ecological trail upstream, to the end of the ladder waterfall, about 2.2 kilometers in length, along the way there are forest streams, unique plateau forest communities, plateau wild flowers natural landscape 📍Boating (about 50/person): 🌟Highlights: Take a boat to the north shore of Shudu Lake to reach the Tibetan primitive nomadic culture experience area 🚉Transportation strategy: 1, 22 kilometers from Shangri-La city, about 30~40 minutes by car; 2, Shangri-La passenger station has a bus to Pudacuo, 15/person; 3, Dukezong Ancient City also has a direct bus 15/person, but there are only two buses a day; 4, Shangri-La city can charter a car to go, round-trip fare is about 180.

The tour guide in the scenic area said that Pudacuo in May and June is a sea of purple flowers, and Pudacuo in November is a scene of yellow autumn. There are really a lot of squirrels inside, remember to bring some food for them. I went to Shangri-La during the National Day, and Pudacuo had already started to turn yellow at that time. Pudacuo Scenic Area is divided into three sections. Personally, I feel there is no need to get off the bus in the first section because you can see all the scenery from inside the bus. Of course, if you want to get off and walk for a while or take some photos, you can get off. The scenery is really beautiful and suitable for photography. The second section is very beautiful and suitable for photography and walking. Because it is an ecological corridor, you can walk the whole way in half an hour (not counting the time for stopping and taking photos). The third section can also be disembarked or not. It's a wetland lawn, and you can take photos on the side. Traveling alone can gain more than a group of people traveling. Don't worry about being lonely when you go out alone. On the way, you will meet many like-minded friends, just like me. When you go out to play, you can choose to stay in a youth hostel, because many people there are playing alone, or long-term tourists living there, or friends who want to save accommodation fees. I chose the first two options. Staying in a youth hostel is actually more humane than staying in a hotel or inn. You won't be lonely when you go out alone. In the youth hostel, you can find people to chat with, and you will find like-minded people to travel with. Personal suggestion: When you go to Yunnan, you must choose to stay in or near the ancient city. It is convenient for eating, going to the station, and playing.

❄️This is my second visit to Shangri-La, and the first stop is still Pudacuo National Forest Park. Last time I visited in autumn, I walked 2.2 kilometers from Luorong Village to Bita Lake, walking through the primeval forest, with the birds singing and the full tree of Spanish moss, which made me determined to collect all four seasons here. · 👀This winter visit, although the trees are all left with bare branches, although the grassland is all withered, but the blue sky of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau will not disappoint any guest who comes from afar, the Bita Lake under the blue sky, Can we say that it can't be so outrageously blue? · ✅Ice surface, lake water, dead wood, wetland, birds scattered in the lake and the distant snow-capped mountains, There are no tourists, it's like we sneaked into a mysterious back garden. · ✅Walking on the wooden plank road, the birds and squirrels are not afraid of people, they run over to ask for food, Put the barley cake in your hand, and they will run to you to eat boldly. · ❓How to play? 🚌There are 3 stops on the Pudacuo sightseeing bus: Luorong Village-Bita Lake-Bita Sea · 1️⃣Luorong Village: You can walk 2.2 kilometers from here to Bita Lake, but winter is the forest fire prevention period, this route is currently closed. I walked once when I came in autumn last time, and I strongly recommend walking once. The journey is not long, 0 difficulty if you have legs you can walk, but the main play is full of wild fun. · 2️⃣Bita Lake: The highlight of Pudacuo. Walk 3 kilometers along the lake plank road, several viewing platforms are very good for taking pictures, we took about 2 hours to walk and take pictures, walk to the end and sit on the sightseeing bus without going back. · 3️⃣Bita Sea: Currently only 1/4 is open, the 1 kilometer long wooden plank road can walk to the lake, the wetland is all withered grass during the dry season, the visible lake surface is not large, if time is not enough you can directly give up. · ❗Tips: 1️⃣Pudacuo is at an altitude of 3705, if you are afraid of altitude sickness, bring a bottle of oxygen. · 2️⃣There are only shops at each scenic spot bus station in the scenic area, so you should bring a bottle of water. · 3️⃣Checked in advance on UOM that it is a green zone, Bita Lake has a no-fly sign for drones, Bita Sea can fly, tested and flew not more than 120 meters without receiving a text message. · 4️⃣Sun protection must be done well, if not, just bring a face mask like me? · 💈Pudacuo National Park 💰Ticket: 138/person (including scenic area sightseeing bus ticket) · 📸I have already collected the autumn and winter of Pudacuo, I want to see your Pudacuo in the comment section, let me hurry up and collect the spring and summer of Pudacuo🤝🏻

If you are someone who love hiking 🥾 and trekking, especially with your loved ones holding together, then Pudacuo national park is definitely a go to place for you. Sometimes if you're luck 😛 then you can see those rare animals, found only in these hill ranges 🍀. As we started to trek and hike 🥾 a little bit, the vast lake has begun to appear in front of us. There were well laid platforms and you also can find places to put up the local costume 🧝 to take some pictures. You also do have options to take the small cab (they call buggee) and quickly finish up in short time. If you want to have a relaxed day with not much noise then this is the place for you. #nationalpark #couplestrip #summervacation#hikingtrails

In March, ladies can buy tickets at half price because of International Women's Day, but the mandatory sightseeing bus in the scenic area is full price, so the total cost after discount is 104 RMB per person. Taking a Didi taxi near the east gate of Dukezong costs about just over 50 RMB, then you buy tickets to enter the scenic area and take the scenic bus, mainly to visit Shudu Lake. After getting off the bus, you can choose to take a boat for 50 RMB per person, or walk about 3 kilometers to pier number 3. We chose to walk, it's mostly flat terrain, walking around the lake, at an altitude of about 3600 meters, walking while looking and taking photos, it takes a little over an hour. Now is really not a good season, the grass is withered, the weather was overcast yesterday, and the lake water had a reflection from the weak sunlight, which made the photos slightly more colorful. The rhododendrons bloom in May. Personally, I don't think now is the season to visit, the scenery is too ordinary, and with the ticket price, I feel the cost-performance ratio is low. Then I wanted to go to Bitahai, which requires taking a bus back to the main gate. We waited a long time, but there was no sign of departure, nor was there anyone to explain the specific departure time, there were no staff managing the situation. All I can say is that it was just a check-in.
