1. Potatso National Park
Pudacuo National Park, at an altitude of 3500m to 4159m, is a 1300-square-kilometer national park in Shangri-La County. It is notable as the first national park in China to meet International Union for Conservation of Nature standards. It consists of Bita Lake Nature Reserve and Shudu Lake Scenic Area which are part of the Three Parallel Rivers of Yunnan Protected Areas UNESCO World Heritage Site. Pudacuo National Park is mainly comprised of Shudu Lake, Bita Lake and Militang Pasture. Travelers should visit the national park by clockwise: Entrance – Shudu Lake – Militang Pasture – Bita Lake - Exit. The whole visiting route is 69 km. Sightseeing buses are served at each place, from entrance gate, scenic areas to exit. It takes about 4 to 6 hours for visiting the whole area of Pudacuo National Park.
Duration: 240 mins
2. White-Water Terraces (Baishuitai)
The White Water Terraces are located in the foothills of Haba Snow Mountain, just over 100km away from Shangri-La County, and 2,380 metres above sea level. They are a natural wonder formed by the dissolution of calcium carbonate in spring water. The spring water, containing calcium bicarbonate, slowly flows down and the carbonate gradually precipitates, year after year, it has formed a shape like terraces. They are referred to as “legacy fields left by fairies” and cover an area of around three square kilometres, making them the largest spring terraces in China. Backed by green hills and trees and surrounded by blue waves, you can enjoy the mountain scenery in the distance and the water view nearby, in a tranquil environment.
Duration: 60 mins
3. Tiger Leaping Gorge (Hutiao Xia)
Midway between Lijiang and Shangri-la, Tiger Leaping Gorge in China's Yunnan Province has carved its way between snow-capped peaks and formed one of the deepest gorges in the world. The roaring Jinsha River (part of the Yangtze River) shows the power of nature there. Known as one of the world's great treks, the rugged Tiger Leaping Gorge trail refreshes souls with sheer natural beauty and majestic snow mountain views. And Naxi culture is another pearl shining on the Gorge.
4. Songzanlin Monastery
Songzanlin Monastery, also known as Ganden Sumtseling Monastery or Guihua Monastery. It is the largest Tibetan Buddhist monastery in Yunnan Province which belongs to Yellow Hat Sect of Gelug. It is also the most important monastery in southwest China. Built at the foot of Foping Mountain with a magnificent facade, Songzanlin Monastery is a faithful imitation of the Potala Palace in Lhasa. Hence, it is reputed as the “Little Potala Palace”. Being a collection of Tibetan culture, Songzanlin Monastery is also reputed as “Tibetan Art Museum”.
5. Dukezong Ancient Town
This 1,300 year old town features traditional Tibetan homes, ancient temples and pagodas, and narrow, winding alleyways, all adorned with iconic Tibetan prayer flags of various colors. In all, Dukezong Ancient Town provides visitors with an authentic view of Tibetan culture and is a welcome reprieve from the busy goings-on of the big city. Simply walking around Dukezong’s winding, maze-like lanes is a great way to enjoy the enchanting historical charm of the town. This will allow you to observe the traditional dwellings and other interesting architecture up close. You will also find a number of shops and outdoor markets selling jewelry, thangka paintings, incense, and more, where you can find some beautiful souvenirs. Dukezong is also home to a number of teahouses and authentic restaurants, as well as a few more cosmopolitan bars that come alive at night. The Hazelnut Bar is a popular venue where you can watch and listen to Tibetan dance and music performances.
