Pudacuo National Park
香格里拉, 云南
A high-altitude national park centred on two alpine lakes, Bita and Shudu, ringed by pine, oak, and rhododendron forest.
为什么要去Pudacuo National Park？
As the first park in China built to International Union for Conservation of Nature standards, Pudacuo offers a genuinely wild alternative to Shangri-La's monastery and old-town sights — home to golden cats, pheasants, and dense high-altitude forest.
怎么体验
The park uses shuttle buses between key points; plan for a half to full day to see both lakes properly.
小贴士
Altitude here can exceed 3,500 metres in places — bring warm layers even in summer, as weather shifts quickly.
