It was an impressive tour in my memory. A China trip to Shangri-La by myself by visiting Potatso National Park and Songzanlin Monastery was still as the freshest thing in my mind.
Shangri-la
has an altitude of 3,200 meters, travelers will feel some altitude
sickness when they arrive there. Some symptoms like headache, chest
distress and so on.
For my experience, I will keep constant speed
to walk, reduce to jump or run while I am in plateau. At the same time,
eat enough to keep energy balance, and sleep well. Do the right things,
then you’ll adapt the altitude soon.
On the basis of our traveling
plan, we’ll visit Potatso National Park first. If time allowed, we’ll
go Songzanlin Lamasery, the largest Tibetan Buddhist monastery which is
not far from Shangri-la.
Potaso National Park is located 22km away from Shangri-la China tour deals, which is the first national park in mainland China.
In
Tibetan language, Patatso means reaching the opposite side of the lake
by boat under the help of deity. The planning area of Pataso National
Park is 1,313 sq.km. Bitahai Lake (in the south side) and Shudhu Lake
(in the north side) are two major parts of the park.
Besides these
two lakes, forest, marsh, valley, alpine meadow and so on can be seen
in the park. If you wanna go into it, you need to take a shuttle bus.
Here is the entrance of Potaso National Park.
The main sightseeing here are Shudu Lake, Militang Pasture and Bita Lake.
The first sightseeing we visited was Shudu Lake. Shudu Lake and Bita
Lake were regarded as a pearl of plateau. Here are teeming with kinds of
fishes.
Third destination was Bita Sea
Bita Lake is the most beautiful lake China best tours
in Shangri-la, the most charming view is the tower-like hill and this
clear, peaceful water. Such the particular water, flowers and animals
form two peculiar wonders of the Bitahai Lake: Fish Drunk by Azalea and
An Old Bear Catches Fish. Bita means in Tibetan a place with a dense oak
forest and "Bitahai" means a quiet lake. The Bitahai Lake is surrounded
by mountains covered with ancient pines, oaks and rhododendrons, like
an emerald in the heart of the mountain.
After the tour at Potatso
National Park, we moved our step to Songzanlin Lamasery, which is 5km
away from Shangri-la county town.
Songzanlin Monastery or
Sumtseling Monastery is also called Guihua Monastery (归化寺). It was
originally built in 1679 A.D., and it was finished in 1681.
It was
a main temple used by Tibetans who lived in Yunnan, Sichuan and Tibet
and other areas in the southwestern part of China. It has become the
seat of the leader of the Tibetan Buddhist theocracy in the big region
around it east of Tibet. Hence the name of “Small Potala Palace”.
