Pudacuo, "a prose poem of the plateau written by the gods"

🌲This is a sanctuary for the soul, a paradise in dreams; In Tibetan, "Pudacuo" means "to deliver all beings to the other shore of happiness." This is the first national park in the Chinese mainland and the only 5A scenic spot in Shangri-La. Here, you can find traces left by melting snow on the mountains, blue skies, and wild animals strolling through the forests. They complement the fir trees surrounding Shudu Lake, like a prose poem of the plateau written by the gods: Standing in the morning mist of Shudu Lake Every breath becomes a poetic slow motion The plateau's blue is shattered in the heart of the lake Each ripple writes Van Gogh's brushstrokes The wind, soft as yak wool Tucks the whispers of Gesang flowers behind my ears The meadow is a Thangka embroidered by the earth for the sky Cloud shadows dance Tibetan string dances on the turquoise lake The blue of Shudu Lake is almost divine —Like a tear formed by the melting soul of a snow mountain Or like the flowing robes of a Bodhisattva in the murals of Songzanlin Temple When the bar-headed geese skim the water I suddenly understand the profound meaning of "Pudacuo" in Tibetan The other shore of bliss for all beings is just like this… The scenery along the way is beautiful, intoxicatingly so. The initial discomfort of arriving on the plateau will be overwhelmed by everything here. The most beautiful scenery in Pudacuo lies along the Shudu Lake ecological corridor. This road not only has many interesting small scenic spots but also allows you to experience the residual warmth on the fir trees up close. There are even squirrels unafraid of humans, actively interacting with pedestrians. The only regret is the lingering feeling when taking the shuttle bus to the next attraction…
