Listen to my advice! Winter is the winning season to visit Pudacuo

If Shangri-La is the last pure land on earth, then the tranquil and remote Pudacuo is the most beautiful fairy tale within this pure land. Winter is truly the most beautiful time in Pudacuo, compared to the vibrant and lush summer, the quiet world of white snow in winter is even more romantic! Especially when the sunlight filters through the primeval forest, when the surface of the lakes turns into thick white ice, when the snow-capped mountains stand above the forest meadows~ It's so beautiful it makes me cry😭 Although the early morning temperature in Pudacuo can drop to minus 10 degrees in winter, it doesn't affect the visual impact of the winter snowscape at all~ In Pudacuo, not only will you hike the 3.3-kilometer Shudu Lake wooden walkway, getting close to the ice lake, facing the snow mountains, and delving into the primeval forest. You will also hike the 1.5-kilometer Bita Lake walkway, during this 20-minute walk...... you will proceed along the vast meadows, ultimately rewarded with the clear turquoise waters, and enjoy the highland's lake and mountain scenery! ------- 📍Navigation|Pudacuo National Park 🚗Drive|30 minutes from Dukezong Ancient Town, Shangri-La ⏱️Time|The scenic area is open from 08:00-16:30, half a day is enough to enjoy Pudacuo 🎫Ticket|Full ticket 138 RMB per person (including 70 RMB for the sightseeing bus and 68 RMB for the entrance fee), half-price ticket 104 RMB per person (including 70 RMB for the sightseeing bus and 34 RMB for the entrance fee) 🎉Play| ✅Take the sightseeing bus at the entrance of the scenic area to the entrance of the Shudu Lake wooden walkway, the hiking time is 2 hours, take the sightseeing bus back to the entrance of the scenic area at the end of the hike; ✅Then transfer to the Bita Lake sightseeing bus, the hiking time is 40 minutes, and you must walk back the same way to the drop-off point, then take the sightseeing bus back to the entrance of the scenic area. ‼️TIPS: 1️⃣The walkways may have snow in winter, be sure to wear anti-slip and waterproof shoes.
