The Unescapable Shangri-La | A Tibetan Inn Through the Ages
April and May are the best times to visit Shangri-La
Fewer people, beautiful scenery, and the spring of the plateau is just right
Peach blossoms in the mountain temples are in full bloom, vegetation sprouts, and the oxygen content is high
This season is the perfect time for a trip to the paradise of Shangri-La

🍃The ice and snow are just melting, and the green grass and spruce are already lush
Lying on the green hillside
Watching the cute sheep🐑 in the distance and the sky full of clouds
It's really healing...

Shangri-La Jiantang Town Jinlong Street Dalalang No. 105 (near the ancient city gate)
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.
纳帕海这里是中甸县最大的草原,也是最富于高原特色的风景区之一。由于藏民的悉心爱护,每当秋季来临,许多飞禽便光顾这里,如黑颈鹤、黄鸭、斑头雁在草原上空高飞低旋,情景颇惹心喜爱。夏天水草丰满,草原上长着小花,羊、牛、马成群吃草,和草原融为一体。而到了冬春旱季,湖面缩小甚至干涸,变成大片的沼泽。景区的入口处有座八瓣莲花白塔,这样的塔全世界只有两座,另一座在印度。纳帕海意为"森林旁的湖泊",纳帕海藏语称为“纳帕措”,汉语意为“森林背后的湖”。每年5月,草原方吐嫩芽,而纳帕草原已是绿草萋萋 .6月伊始,各种野花竞相开放,茫茫草原,琼花瑶草争奇斗艳。成群的牛羊随草海起伏,如在海中沉浮。 茫茫原野,四处是“风吹草低见牛羊”的草原美景。西面的石卡、时卡、辛雅拉三大雪山俏然挺立。雪山、草原、牛羊组成了大西南的塞北风光。纳帕海位于香格里拉县城西北部,距县城8公里,是个季节性高山湖泊,也是云南省少有的亚热高山沼泽和沼泽化草甸。可以自带帐篷与草原大地为伴,与星星细语......
首先,这里是免费的,自然风光!至于骑马之类,可以到了那边自己选择。其实算不上草原,但是还是很赞的。最好租一辆电动车,然后有时间慢慢欣赏山、蓝天、白云、草地、小溪
