"The Beta Sea in Shangri-La is a highland lake surrounded by virgin forests, surrounded by woody paths spread along the shoreline of the lake, sometimes through the long-haired red bean fir forests, the lake is pure and calm, full of mystery."

"It took me a lot of effort to go here. There is very little information on the Internet. The Baidu map positioning is completely wrong and it is another mountain. I spent a day on it! The correct entrance is on National Highway 316 towards Pianma Town and you will pass. It takes 6-7 hours to walk into the reserve without any supplies including toilets. You have to prepare in advance. Remember to bring the garbage down the mountain! The landscape of the reserve is very good, there are few people, don’t miss it if you like plants, I read the evaluation here, and the pictures are also randomly posted. I wrote the evaluation for the first time, which is convenient for future generations"

"The Ailao Mountain Ancient Tea-Horse Road Scenic Area in Xinping County, Yuxi City, Yunnan Province is located in the hinterland of Ailao Mountain, mainly concentrated in the primeval forests along the Shili River in Gasa Town. This ancient road is a section of the Nannan Avenue in ancient times and an important section of the "Tea and Salt Road" and the "Southern Silk Road" in ancient southern Yunnan. The well-known Yunnan tribute "Pu'er Tea" was carried out by this merchant, and the advanced culture, production technology and commodities of the inland were also continuously spread to all directions through this ancient post road. The relics of Qianjiazhai, Longmen Inn, and iron smelting furnace make people seem to be able to clearly see the long gone age and feel the prosperity of the old caravan post. The Xinping Tea Horse Road condensed the history of social development in Yunnan for nearly two thousand years, and interprets the journey stories of countless chieftains and envoys, dignitaries, literati pokers, merchant wanderers, soldiers and bandits, wars, natural disasters, and man-made disasters. It truly records the journeys of the people in the prison. The vicissitudes of life have changed. Nowadays, the running water of the Shili River is still rushing, and the crisp and long horse bells are long gone, leaving people with endless reverie and remembrance."

"We went in late November so the grasslands had already turned brown for the season and most of the animals were gone. Still, it was a beautiful location and great on the way back from the Milk Sea. Evening light is best here for photos."
