Potatso National Park is the first national park in China. It is located in the centre of Three Parllel Rivers, and is the World Natural Heritage. It is about 22 km from the Shangri-La County. It is a beautiful park surrounded with coniferous forests. Our walk took 3-4 hour slow and cool walk (in early Nov 2019) along the nice wooden-planked walkway from the starting to the endpoint. In the middle of the park, Shudu Lake, with its blue water under the clear blue sky, is a beauty of Mother's Nature. The reflection of the white clouds onto the blue water is an amazing beauty of its own. Chipmunks and small adorable birds contributed to the joy of our walk from the start to the endpoint. If walking is not a problem, walk and soak into the park's natural beauty is a better choice than taking a boat across the lake to cut down walking time.

The canyon is located at the alpine area of Qinghai-Tibet plateau. Very scenic place for a good walk. One can only go up the canyon via a paid guided tour bus which will carry tourists to the different tourist points at the canyon. Started the tour at the top of the mountain where there's a small beautiful Tibetan monastery and moved downward the mountain. One will be amazed with the view along the drive and walk. I went during end Autumn and was still mesmerized by the view.

Take the time to drive around this lake, which is at nearly 12,000 foot elevation. Much of it is shallow, you will see horses, cattle, and even a few yaks wading in it to browse on grassy hillocks that barely rise above the surface. Local people provide opportunities for horse riding and photo opportunities.

You must be in the main square at 7pm to experience the dancing. It’s an unforgettable experience and defiantly one of the highlights of my Yunnan journey. I spent a few days in the old town and just loved observing the Tibetan people and the ways of life here. It’s great for keen photographers as well. So much to capture.

Love this place so much, climb up the temple to to take a great view of the old town. There is a big wheel which need atleast 7 to 10 persons to move it, according the local, each person only can move it for 3 rounds (clockwise) , cannot exceed the limit. Ps: Entrance is free.
