I have been thinking about a question, is there really a heaven on earth? Accustomed to the constant flow and shoulder to shoulder traffic in the city. Suddenly feeling a bit tired, as if the gas people are exhaling has become turbid. The window was covered in a gray haze. The air in the distance is like thick milk, soaking the world inside. Only a faint orange light shone through the thick fog to the window not far away. From a distance of one meter, it seems that nothing can be seen clearly, and the world under the cover of haze appears so mysterious. Haze is like a wall that separates you from the distant world, leaving you unaware of what is happening on the other side. It felt like a bottle of white ink had been knocked over again, and the ink overflowed and scattered in the air. The whole body seemed to be covered in ink, and the exposed skin felt a bit sticky. I always feel like there's something in my lungs that I want to exhale but can't, making my whole body uncomfortable.

So, I came to Pudacuo National Park. Pudacuo is one of the key projects of Shangri La's self guided tour, with an altitude between 3500 meters and 4159 meters. The scenic area is very large, consisting of Zhudu Lake, Bitahai, and Militang Yagao Mountain Ranch. It definitely takes a day to play Pudacuo well, and you can't walk too fast in high-altitude areas. Before departure, I prepared some chocolates, candies, drinks, and snacks to constantly replenish my energy.

Drive to the entrance of the scenic area, where there is your own eco-friendly car included in the ticket. Your car can only be parked at the entrance and cannot be driven in. The above mentioned several are major attractions, each with only one path leading out, mainly for sightseeing. It's very thoughtful that after buying the ticket, there is also a map of the scenic area attached to it. If you have any questions, you can also ask at their consultation point.

Hiking in Pudacuo is very sacred, as if stepping into a fairy tale world. Along the way, there are plateau lakes, primitive forests, wildlife, flowers, yaks, meadows, pastures, and everything worth stopping and savoring slowly.

Entering Pudacuo Scenic Area, the tour bus can directly reach Zhudu Lake.

Tour mode of Zhudu Lake: 1 Follow the sightseeing bus for a rough tour.

2. Walk on the Zhudu Lake boardwalk (approximately one and a half hours).

3. Take a boat ride on Zhudu Lake (50 yuan/person).

We are taking a boat tour. The cruise ship is divided into two levels, with the lower level being enclosed like a tourist bus, and each row of seats having a window for visitors to watch. The upper floor is open and has no seats, so tourists can only stand, but almost all tourists choose to stand on it. Because standing on the boat, the scenery is indeed beautiful, hehe. If there are too many people, it may be a bit crowded. If you choose to stand on it, make sure to wear a life jacket. Regardless of the type of sightseeing method chosen, at the end of the tour, one must board the tour bus within the scenic area and head to the next stop.

Militang Tour Method: The scenic area tour bus will stop at the observation deck of the ranch. From below the observation deck, you can see the snow-white clouds connecting the mountains, the emerald green mountains connecting to the grasslands, and the idle cows and sheep swaying on the grasslands.

Attention: When you arrive, you must take the same bus as when you leave.

The last stop is Bitahai: Bitahai Tour Method:

1. Walk for about 4.2 kilometers and take photos for about two and a half hours while walking.

2. Take a car for a general tour. If you have sufficient physical strength, it is not recommended to take a car. This section of the journey is mostly on wooden boardwalks and flat ground, with no significant ups and downs, which will not consume too much energy.

The wooden boardwalk of Bitahai is built in the dense forest of heavy mountains. As you walk, you will be blocked by the branches extending ahead, but you only need to turn slightly to get through. There are small squirrels jumping out on the boardwalk. Although they are clever and cute, don't get your hands close to them. What if it gets bitten.

Unfortunately, when I arrived at Bitahai, I was freezing to death. My eyes were in heaven, and my body was in hell. I watched the beautiful scenery helplessly, but my hands trembled and I couldn't take out my phone. I only had a photo taken when I was about to leave the scenic area along the wooden boardwalk.

Travel description: The entire journey is a combination of taking a boat ride and walking, which takes about 4 hours. If you choose to walk to all the attractions, it is recommended to take about 6-7 hours.
