Zhongdian Napa Sea Travel Guide

Scenic spot introduction:

Napa Sea, called "Napacuo" in Tibetan, is a seasonal alpine lake and a rare subtropical swamp and swampy meadow in Yunnan Province. It is located in the northwest of Shangri-La County, 6 kilometers away from the county seat. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides, with peaks at an altitude of 3800-4449 meters, and is connected to Jiantangba in the south. In May every year, the Napa Sea is already covered with green grass and fragrant flowers. Herds of cattle and sheep rise and fall with the sea of ​​grass, disappearing and appearing. To the west, the three snow-capped mountains of Shika, Yeka and Hardinyala stand tall and tall. Snowy mountains, grasslands, cattle and sheep make up the scenery of Saibei in the southwest.

Attractions distribution:

In the late summer and early autumn, a large amount of water accumulates in the Napa Sea, coupled with the injection of water from Qinglongtan, Naqu River, and Wangqu River, forming a large area of ​​​​the lake. When the open water surface is large, it can reach thousands of hectares. There are 9 sinkholes distributed around the lake, from which the lake water is released and flows into the Jinsha River through the Nixi Tangman River and the Wukong Jiren River. In winter and spring, the open water surface gradually shrinks, and the rippling lake surface turns into the largest spring pasture in Yunnan - Yila Grassland. The distant mountains are like black grass, the grass is golden, and the snow-capped peaks are reflected in the lake. Black-necked cranes, yellow ducks, and bar-headed geese gather here, playing and roaming in the grass and on the water, giving the vast and ethereal grassland a poetic and picturesque quality.
