Spent the whole day at Pudacuo National Park, definitely worth roaming around

Spent the whole day at—Pudacuo National Park, the weather was amazing (heard it hailed the day before), walking was very comfortable, no sheep missing 🐏, and no discomfort. Morning: Took the early bus for 15 yuan to the park, and of course, it was the first bus to enter the park. The weather was a bit cloudy. The first stop was the bus to the first scenic spot for hiking. The meadows and cows and horses that appeared from time to time were like a painting, making me very excited about this trip. Luck was with me, as I met a young lady on the way, and we decided to walk together. She was a companion who could discover the beauty of nature, and we strolled along the path together. On one side was the sound of flowing water, and on the other side, the beautiful scenery was enhanced by the sudden appearance of sunlight from the clouds, which gave me a great surprise. We searched for mushrooms together, and every time we found one, we were both very happy. We found many kinds of mushrooms and also saw many kinds of plants and Chinese herbs. We encountered a very vigorous Yunnan poplar, whose green leaves became my favorite. We came across a family of horses 🐴 and a family of cows grazing on the fresh, tender green grass. On one side, the large stream flowed with the momentum of 'a thousand horses galloping'. On the two-kilometer gravel road, 'little cutie' was delighted to discover fifteen kinds of flowers she had never seen before, and after checking on Baidu, we found that many of them were Chinese medicinal herbs. Afternoon: At 1 PM, we took the second stop of the park bus to the Bitahai wooden walkway. This section is very exquisite, with options for boating and cycling. Personally, I suggest walking, as it allows you to discover more beautiful scenery, just for reference. Large patches of water meadows, dotted with small flowers, and grazing cows and horses added to the picturesque scene, full of vitality and leisure. We hiked for more than two hours to the end. The third section, Shudu Lake, with its meadows and mooing 🐮🐮🐮 and neighing 🐴🐴🐴, is a great place to daze off. At 5 PM, we finished our stroll. Took the bus back to the city. Evening: Finally, finally enjoyed yak meat mushroom soup hotpot at Sifang Street in Dukezong Ancient Town. Shared the meal with the young lady I walked with today. Unexpectedly, the window seat allowed us to enjoy a live Tibetan dance performance. Since we encountered it, participation was a must. Feeling the charm of Tibetan dance, starting from uncoordinated hands and feet 😊, I began to let myself go... Other tips ❤️: Picked up some litter in the park, just hoping that every friend who visits the park can protect the environment and not litter. There are many trash bins in the park. Such pristine beauty is becoming rarer, so let's take better care of it and leave more scenery for future visitors. If you find mushrooms that you don't recognize or even if you do, please leave them in place and let future visitors discover them! This trip was a self-guided tour, not with a group, focusing on relaxation without rushing, with no specific plans. It was my first time in a high-altitude area, so I adapted slowly. The general direction was Kunming/Dali/Lijiang/Shangri-La. For safety, I mainly stayed in chain hotels, traveled mainly by bus/shared bike, with occasional use of private cars. Nighttime activities were moderate, not staying out too late. As a result, my body felt great, perfect for traveling .
