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!
