Pudacuo National Park Photos: Trip Moments
I hope you can also encounter sunny weather when you goThe 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.AdventurousAbode

A tranquil winter wonderland: A deep tour of Pudacuo National ParkExploring Pudacuo National Park is definitely a worthwhile trip! 🌟 As the first national forest park in our country, it gathers lakes, peaks and dense forests, and is a treasure trove of natural beauty! The scenery changes with the seasons, and Shudu Lake and Bitahai are the most shining pearls among them. 🌊 Take the scenic area's sightseeing car, and about 20 minutes later, you will arrive at Shudu Lake. It is rare to have such a vast lake in this alpine cold zone with an altitude of nearly 4000 meters. When winter comes, the lake is like a blue gem, covered with a thin layer of ice, and the trees by the lake are covered with snow, like a beautiful landscape painting. 🎨 There are three ways to visit Shudu Lake: take a sightseeing bus, walk along the lakeside plank road, or take a boat across the lake. I personally recommend walking along the 3.4-kilometer-long wooden plank road, so you can slowly appreciate the lake and mountains, and easily take beautiful photos. 📸 During the whole journey, you will enjoy a visual feast of lake and mountain views. The thin fog that often rises on the lake is like a light veil. When the weather is clear, the scenery is even more beautiful. Walk and shoot, about 1 hour, you can complete this wonderful journey, and then take the sightseeing car back to the entrance of the scenic area. 🚶♂️ In winter, Pudacuo is less noisy and more tranquil, and such an experience is really unforgettable. 🤫 Transportation guide: 1. About 22 kilometers from Shangri-La city, it takes about 30 to 40 minutes by car; 2. There is a bus directly to Pudacuo from Shangri-La Passenger Station, the fare is 15 yuan/person; 3. There is also a direct bus from Dukezong Ancient City, the fare is 15 yuan/person, but there are only two buses a day. Don't forget to bring your camera and record every beautiful scene of Pudacuo National Park. Come here to feel the charm of nature! 🌳REID BRADY

Just returned from a fun trip to Yunnan, having a deep tour of Dali, Lijiang, and Shangri-LaWhen preparing for the Shangri-La itinerary, many posts emphasize that it is better to go to Pudacuo in summer, and the vegetation withers in winter. However, I insisted on visiting in winter, and the fact proved that this decision was absolutely correct😍! ❄️【The unique charm of Pudacuo in winter】： 1️⃣ Snowy fairyland meets the first snow: For southerners, witnessing the white snow of Shangri-La with their own eyes is like opening the door to a new world. The frozen lake exudes a blue and white intertwined light, the soft snow allows you to have fun, and the crystal clear icicles tell the story of winter. And the first snowman⛄️ in my life, as if condensed the beauty of the four seasons. 2️⃣ Tranquility and far-reaching, enjoy the beauty alone: Compared to the crowded popular scenic spots in Lijiang, in Pudacuo, you can enjoy tranquility and comfort. As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the scenic spot, I happened to meet the national protected animal white horse chicken to socialize, and the silly and cute appearance of this social cow made people laugh😅. Walking among them, only the sound of nature's breathing and the slight movement of squirrels jumping over the trees, this long-lost tranquility, for us who live in the bustling city, is undoubtedly a spiritual SPA. 3️⃣ The air is sweet, and the oxygen bar is heaven: The air quality of Pudacuo is excellent, and the full tree of Spanish moss is the best proof-this kind of green fluff that only grows in a high-quality ecological environment is the pure label that nature gives here. Even if there is a slight high anti in Shangri-La, but in Pudacuo with lush vegetation and abundant oxygen, it seems that every breath is nourishing the body and mind💖. Of course, everyone's perception of beauty is different, as the saying goes, "A thousand readers have a thousand Hamlets in their eyes". The above is my personal experience and feelings of Pudacuo in winter, I hope it can inspire your travel planning, and I look forward to you also finding your own touch and surprise in Pudacuo in winter💫!VoyagerVistas

A leisure trekWhen it comes to wildlife protection, it is increasingly becoming the need of the hour; as only human-animal conflict has become frequent encounters. And we're expanding our boundaries ever since, also trying to interact with them in a caged nature. In Pudacuo national park the authorities have really taken this into account, and forbidden a part of the park in the name of wildlife protection. You can get to see, some rare birds, Yak, and the ponies. This park is also home to some rare plants & trees like the moustache trees. You can take a leisure walk around the lake and visit these amazing creatures. #nationalpark #yunnantravel #maydaytrip#urbanexplorer#happylabordayAaru 裴儒16
The place closest to heaven—Shangri-LaShangri-La, the place closest to heaven, boasts beautiful scenery at an altitude of 3600-4200 meters. "Shangri-La" means "the sun and moon in one's heart" in Tibetan. 🔥 Transportation Guide🚙 ✈️Plane: Direct flights to Diqing Shangri-La Airport, then transfer to a bus/public transport; or transfer via Kunming/Lijiang to reach by high-speed train/bus. 🚄High-speed train: Shangri-La station, then transfer to public transport/taxi to hotels and attractions (Kunming→Shangri-La, 4.5h). 🚘Self-driving (chartered car): Take the expressway, National Highway 214, or the Eastern Ring Road, with the Eastern Ring Road being the most scenic. 🔥 Attraction Recommendations 📍Potatso National Park China's first national park, the place of Serteng revival, "Potatso" in Tibetan means to ferry all living beings to the other shore of suffering. 📍Baishuitai China's version of "Cotton Castle," where the azure spring water💧 flows over naturally formed limestone terraces, Baishuitai is a natural wonder formed by the dissolution of calcium carbonate in the spring water. The spring water, containing calcium bicarbonate, flows slowly, and carbonates gradually precipitate, forming terraces over the years, resembling layered terraces. 📍Songzanlin Monastery The largest Tibetan Buddhist monastery in the world, known as the "Little Potala Palace." It houses a large number of Buddhist relics and classic architecture. 📍Tiger Leaping Gorge One of China's deepest gorges, hidden at the junction of Shangri-La and Lijiang, with Jade Dragon Snow Mountain on one side and Haba Snow Mountain on the other. During the rainy season from May to September, the river water rises rapidly, which is quite spectacular. 📍Dukezong Ancient Town Known as the "Moonlight City Castle built on stone," it still retains the world's largest and highest prayer wheel, where you can walk clockwise around the prayer wheel three times. 📍Napa Lake Napa Lake is not a sea but a seasonal highland lake, with Shangri-La's largest grassland, tranquil lakes, and majestic mountains, horses and lambs, and Tibetan dress photography is very photogenic📸. 📍Meili Snow Mountain Gang Meili Snow Mountain is very close to Shangri-La, with the 'golden pagoda'-shaped main peak of Meili - Kawagebo Peak, the thirteen peaks of Meili, located at the confluence of the Jinsha River, Lancang River, and Nu River. It is said that those who see the sun shining on the golden mountain at Meili Snow Mountain will be lucky for the whole year, and the best season is autumn and winter. The Wunongding viewing platform is the best position to capture the panoramic view of Meili Snow Mountain. 📍Liangbeng A place yearned for by many hiking enthusiasts, known as "hiking paradise." The last village in China to be electrified, Liangbeng is located at the foot of Meili Snow Mountain, and the sun shining on the golden mountain seen from Liangbeng village has a unique angle. ⚠️When entering Songzanlin Monastery, a Buddhist holy site, be sure to pay attention to your attire when visiting inside; do not wear short skirts, shorts, or sleeveless backless clothes. Photography is not allowed inside the hall, and remember to take off hats and sunglasses to respect local customs and culture. 🔥 Shangri-La Specialty Cuisine 🌟 Zongka Tibetan Meal The yak meat hot pot ingredients are really good and delicious, very tender! The yak pizza amazed me, with a crispy crust and a very fragrant filling. 🌟 Mariga Tibetan Meal It's like Tibetan dumplings filled with yak meat, really delicious when dipped in sauce. 🌟 Old Boy Barbecue 🍢 Their barbecue is quite flavorful, with delicious grilled meat skewers and grilled garlic. 🌟 Ama's Butter Tea 🧀 Butter milk cheese: With barley grains and cheese chunks on top, and yogurt below, stir it up, and the barley with yogurt is very fragrant. 🍮 Barley milk tea: With barley on top of the milk tea, the milk tea is not sweet, and it's very warming in the cold weather there. 🌟 Shunshun Snacks 🍜 Yak meat rice noodles: The beef is very fragrant, and the soup base is rich, not the clear soup type, with the addition of pickled cabbage and chili, you can't stop eating. 🍚 Yak meat fried rice: The fried rice is distinct, and when you take a big bite, it's super fragrant, and there's a lot of yak meat. 🥩 Yak meat buns: Their buns are super delicious!!! With large chunks of yak meat paired with green pepper filling, the presence of green pepper perfectly cuts through the richness, making it easy and burden-free to eat, really super fragrant.

Listen to people, eat full! Pudacuo only meets two conditions at the same time to be worth going, otherwise it will regret death! First, time must be 6-10 month, and second, the weather forecast is sunny, both are indispensable, remember!
How to say it, the season did not come, the scenery is average, the whole journey did not walk much, the bus first, the boat after the boat,,, only walked in the last lake, there are a lot of squirrels, not afraid that people love to eat peanuts 🥜...,
It was still a little early to go on May Day. The flowers didn't open until the end of the month. Only two attractions were opened, and they were taken by the scenic bus and then hiking. It will be sunny for a while and rain for a while, and it is not serious to walk slowly.
Pudacuo is on the plateau. It was too early to go in April. It was basically dry yellow before spring. At least go after May. And the core scenic area ecology has been closed, it has been closed for 5 or 6 years, and it is still not open. Many people at 3000+ altitude will have altitude sickness. Buy more oxygen cylinders when you go. The scenery is a relatively primitive plateau lake, the prototype of Shangri-La, and the main one is quiet and native. People who like it will like it very much. Personal feelings are average. Maybe the season is not right.
The highest point in Pudacuo National Park is 4,670 meters above sea level, and the lowest point is 2,347 meters above sea level. There are many unique small scenery staggered distributions such as fault cliffs, forest small mounds, deep ditch canyons, including relatively primitive and complete forest shrubs, alpine meadows, wetland lakes, geological relics, River Canyon Ecosystems, etc.
Tickets are a bit expensive, but the scenery and trees of the scenic spot are really good. Be sure to buy sightseeing car tickets, because there are a few kilometers of hiking scenery inside that is beautiful and it is recommended for everyone to take a walk.
Pudacuo Forest Park should be regarded as the largest scenic spot near Shangri-La, because we had to catch the train, we only stayed in it for more than two hours. After visiting the Shudu Lake, we didn't go to Bitahai again. Enter the scenic spot and take a sightseeing bus first. The bus takes a long time to get to the first stop of Duhu Lake, and then enter the 3.3 kilometer hiking, but it is basically a wooden plank road, so it is more convenient to walk. The temperature in Shangri-La at the end of April was still relatively low. Because there was no sun on a cloudy day, the rain the night before caused the scenic wind to be very strong. The meadow was still in a slightly green state, but the horse cattle were free to eat grass. It belongs to Duhu Lake and the virgin forest is still very beautiful, and some snow-capped mountains can be seen in the distance. There are many small squirrels in the virgin forest. They are not afraid of people and will beg for food. They are very cute. There are more than 4,000 meters above sea level. If the high reaction is serious, you should prepare an oxygen tank to suck it. At the end of Duhu Lake, the bus is to return to the gate of the scenic spot first. If you want to go to Bitahai, then take the bus. If you come to Pudacuo in summer, it should be more beautiful!
