Napa Sea, Shangri-La, Diqing, Yunnan. Located in an important location in the bird migration channel of Hengduan Mountain. Two of the eight world-recognized bird migration routes pass through here. Special geographical location and seasonal characteristics, become an important bird station in the Hengduan Mountain, where about 370 species of birds live and breed.
Napa Sea is located 8 kilometers northwest of Shangri-La, at an altitude of 3266 meters. Chinese meaning "the lake behind the forest" is surrounded by three snow-capped mountains of Shika, Yeka and Xinyala, and is connected with the Yila grassland. It is the largest meadow in Shangri-La. The scenery is the best in June and July!
The Napa Sea around the lake is free, and the scenery along the way is very good. Although there is no green grass in winter, the blue sky and white clouds are also beautiful on the lake. Many water birds and seagulls live in harmony with nature. There is no experience of riding yak and cuddling sheep and taking pictures, so I am not interested in this. The water level is low in winter, and there is no need to wading in the water section. All cars can pass, and it is better to open clockwise.
Napahai is the largest grassland in Zhongdian County and one of the most scenic spots with high plateau characteristics. Due to the care of Tibetans, whenever autumn comes, many birds visit here, such as black-necked cranes, yellow ducks, spotted heads flying high and low over the grassland, and the scene is quite favorite. In summer, the water and grass are full, and the grassland is full of flowers. Sheep, cattle, and horses eat grass in groups, and the grassland is integrated. In the winter and spring dry season, the lake shrinks and even drys up, turning into a large swamp. At the entrance of the scenic spot, there are eight-petal lotus white towers, such as only two in the world, the other in India. Napa Sea means "the lake next to the forest", Napa Hai Tibetan is called "Napacuo", Chinese means "the lake behind the forest". Every May, the grassland spit out sprouts, and the Napa grassland is already green grass. At the beginning of June, various wild flowers competed to open, and the vast grasslands and Qionghua grass competed for beauty. Herds of cattle and sheep undulate with the sea of grass, such as sinking and floating in the sea. The vast field is surrounded by the grassland beauty of "wind grass and low see cattle and sheep". The three snow-capped mountains of Shika, Shika and Sinjara stand tall in the west. Snow-capped mountains, grasslands, cattle and sheep form the scenery of Saibei in the southwest. Napahai is located in the northwest of Shangri-La County, 8 kilometers away from the county seat. It is a seasonal alpine lake and a rare subheat alpine marshes and marsh meadow in Yunnan Province. You can bring your own tent and grassland land as companion, and whisper with the stars ......
First of all, here is free, natural scenery! As for horse riding, you can choose there. In fact, it is not a grassland, but it is still very good. It is best to rent an electric car, and then have time to slowly enjoy the mountains, blue sky, white clouds, grass, creeks.
