Bottomless Lake, you are so beautiful!

The lake itself is not that impressive, but the moss forest is stunning and worth a visit. The forest is full of life and death, with trees that have lived for years and then died and decayed, providing nutrients for other organisms and forming a complete ecosystem. The round-trip carpool fare is CNY 150 per person, and the journey takes about 2.5 hours. The mountain road is a bit dangerous, with landslides and rocks on the road, and some sections are bumpy. If you get carsick easily, bring some medicine. Villagers charge CNY 10 for entering the mountain. There are toilets at the entrance and at the parking lot further up. You can check the hiking routes on the Two Steps app. 1. 3.5 km leisure hike around Bottomless Lake 2. Bottomless Lake - Swan Lake/Tsomo Lake 3. Bottomless Lake - Fairy Lake - Tianchi Lake (a guide is needed) It takes about 3 hours to walk around the lake. The route is not difficult, just like visiting a scenic spot. The scenery is beautiful. (There is a campsite with tents for camping or accommodation at Bottomless Lake, but I didn't ask about the price.) Tips: 1. Bring shoe covers (the forest path is muddy when it rains). 2. Bring your own food. Instant noodles cost CNY 20 per bucket, or you can bring your own and buy hot water for CNY 5. (You don't need to carry too much, as the car is parked near the starting point of the hike, so you can leave things in the car.) 3. The altitude is 3,800 m, so bring some high-sugar food if you are not used to the altitude (chocolate, cola, etc.). Walk slowly and don't run. 4. The weather is changeable, so keep warm! Even though the journey is long and tiring, the moment you see the snow-capped mountains, green pines, and blue lake, it all seems worth it. It's like being in a Hayao Miyazaki comic, very healing.
