This super "wild" and unique private collection will unlock a wonderland favored by time🌿! 1. Essential Preparations Before Departure • Anti-altitude sickness remedies💊: Start taking Rhodiola a week in advance, prepare oxygen tanks (available at pharmacies or near scenic spots), and bring oral glucose solution to alleviate discomfort. • Clothing guide🧥: "Cotton coat in the morning, gauze in the afternoon"! Down jacket/windbreaker + thin sweater + sun protection clothing, must bring a scarf and hat for wind protection, super strong ultraviolet rays, SPF50+ sunscreen and sunglasses are essential. • Transportation guide✈️: Fly directly to Shangri-La Airport, or fly to Lijiang and transfer to a 4h bus; self-driving enthusiasts remember to check the vehicle condition, some sections have many curves! 2. Unconventional Travel Routes Morning: Pudacuo National Park🌲 Rush in at 7:30 am when the park opens! Avoid the crowds and enjoy the "fairytale forest" exclusively. The Shudu Lake hiking route is superb, the lake reflecting the snow-capped mountains in the morning mist is as tranquil as an oil painting, and if you encounter small squirrels🐿️, remember to capture them! It is recommended to choose a "one-way" boat trip, leaving time to photograph the streams and moss beside the boardwalk. Midday: Songzanlin Monastery × Tibetan clothing experience🏯 Arrive at the "Little Potala Palace" at 11:00 am and experience the splendor of the golden roof when the sun is at its strongest. Don't just take pictures of the gate! Go around to the back, with the blue sky and white clouds as the background, the panoramic view is super stunning. Rent a Tibetan outfit (50-100 yuan/day), go to the white walls in the corners of the temple to take atmospheric photos, and close your eyes and make a wish in front of the prayer wheel, it's super effective✨ Evening: Napa Lake Lakeside Adventure🐎 Charter a car or rent an electric car (80 yuan/day) around the lake, starting at 3 pm to chase the sunset! Don't go to regular scenic spots, navigate to "Napa Lake Yila Grassland", find a herdsman to take you on horseback deep into the grassland (bargain to 100 yuan/hour), watch herds of yaks crossing the road, and take photos of the "sky mirror" reflection at the edge of the wetland, it's amazing! Night: Dukezong Ancient City Night Tour🌙 When the moonlight shines on the world's largest prayer wheel, turn it with strangers and pray for blessings, feeling the power of faith. Avoid Sifang Street, go into the alleys of "Jinlong Street", find a Tibetan cafe, order a cup of butter tea, listen to the owner tell stories of the plateau, super healing～ 3. Local's Private Food Map • Nixi Clay Pot Chicken🍲: A must-try at "Unity Tibetan Family Feast"! The chicken is stewed until super tender, perfect with barley cakes. • Yak Beef Hot Pot🥘: "Auspicious Holy Snow Restaurant", the yak beef balls are springy, and Tibetan pickled radish is a great way to cut through the richness. • Butter tea + Zanba🥛: "A Ruo Kamba" afternoon tea, sweet and salty butter tea, paired with milk residue buns, super delicious! 4. Hidden Gems Revealed • Niche hiking trails🚶♀️: Shika Snow Mountain "Blue Moon Valley", less crowded and beautiful scenery, wildflowers along the way, climb to the top to overlook the entire Shangri-La. • Intangible cultural heritage handicraft experience🎨: "Nixi Black Pottery" studio in the ancient city, make Tibetan black pottery by hand, and take away unique souvenirs. • Stargazing spot🌌: North shore of Napa Lake, away from light pollution, use your phone's long exposure to capture the Milky Way, breathtakingly beautiful!
