The milky, calcium carbonate-rich mountain spring water slows down as it flows down the mountain slope. The intense sunlight at high altitudes causes a large amount of spring water to evaporate, and the calcium carbonate gradually deposits. Over time, it turns into a spectacle that looks like cotton or clouds, and like terraced fields. The accumulated water turns into pieces of sapphires under the sunlight, and such a landscape has been around for thousands of years. Baishuitai is located in Baidi Village, Sanba Township, Shangri-La City, Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province. It is not only a natural landscape, but also the birthplace of the Dongba religion of the Naxi people. There are many temples and cultural relics of the Dongba religion around, such as the ancestral temple of the Dongba religion, Baishui Palace. These cultural relics and temples are not only important places for the Dongba religion of the Naxi people, but also important windows for understanding the culture and history of the Naxi people. 🗺️Transportation: Self-driving from Shangri-La City, along National Highway 214, you can reach Baishuitai in about 3 hours. The road to Lijiang passes through Baishuitai, Haba Snow Mountain, and Tiger Leaping Gorge, which is a very worthwhile route. 🎫Ticket: 30 yuan/person ⚠️Note: Pay attention to environmental and cultural relic protection, do not litter or trample on the landscape, and pay attention to sun protection and altitude sickness.

Yunnan small people take photos of the holy land | do not fly to Turkey, Shangri-La also has a Chinese version of "Pamutel"! It should be known to many people that there is a Pamukkale in Turkey. This has always been my longing for, but few people know that there is also a very similar Pamukkale in China. Deep in the mountains of Shangri-La, 103 km from Shangri-La County, the cascade of hills and rocks, covered with a thick layer of snow in winter, is no different from cotton candy, compared with the Turkish cotton castle. Not inferior, wearing a beautiful dress to take a few photos here can really make people feel happy. Photo Raiders: Come here to make a beautiful photo, you must choose the right time, because the mountains are all around, the morning may be a big backlight, there may be no light in the afternoon, it is speculated that it may be more suitable at noon. The time, I want to see the pure blue and white Pamukkale must be influenced by the weather light, but it can also be redesigned later. It is very difficult for the mobile party to cultivate this feeling, so be sure to bring a photo session to compose the picture. With the friends of the late skills macx! Haha ~ self-driving tour Raiders: We are driving from Lijiang early in the morning, about five hours away, the whole process is mountain road, some road sections are very poor, we must pay attention to safety, but the most beautiful scenery in the mountains The highest point. wearing a suggestion: I have been entangled for a long time before it is white or red, and finally the girlfriends wear white, I wear red, I personally recommend wearing big red clothes, the contrast is particularly strong, especially have a feeling.

Baishuitai is located at the foot of Haba Snow Mountain, in Baidi Village, Sanba Township, southeast of Shangri-La County, Yunnan, 101 kilometers from the county seat, at an altitude of 2380 meters. It is the birthplace of the Naxi people's Dongba religion. It is a natural wonder formed by the dissolution of calcium carbonate in spring water. The spring water, containing calcium bicarbonate, flows slowly, and the carbonate gradually precipitates, forming terraces over the years, resembling layered terraces, known as 'Fields Left by the Immortals', covering an area of about 3 square kilometers. It is the largest travertine terrace in China. The white calcium carbonate precipitate accumulates continuously, covering the ground, scattering like a slanted moon. In the Naxi language, Baishuitai is called 'Shi Bu Zhi', meaning a flower that grows gradually. Baishuitai is also known by the beautiful name 'Fields Left by the Immortals'. 🌈 Be sure not to ride a horse at the entrance, walk the whole way by yourself, the scenery along the way is also very beautiful, the most beautiful part is definitely at the highest point, which cannot be reached by horse. On the way back, take another road, which is also very beautiful.

There is currently no public transportation to go there, either drive yourself, charter a car or join a tour group (I joined a tour group). Mini guide: 1 The entrance fee for Baishuitai Scenic Area is 30 yuan/person, it takes about 15 minutes to climb the slope from the entrance of the scenic area to the viewing platform, and it requires a certain amount of physical strength. If you can't climb up, you can ride a horse up the mountain. The way up and down the mountain is a loop, no need to return the same way. 2 The most essential part of Baishuitai is in the 'Fairy's Legacy Field', there is a viewing platform next to it where you can overlook the whole view. 3 There are farmhouses where you can eat at the entrance of Baishuitai Scenic Area, and there are also small shops and the like. However, the toilets in the scenic area are particularly terrifying, it is not recommended to go... (similar to a biochemical bomb). 4 On the way to Baishuitai, you can visit Tiger Leaping Gorge along the way, and you can also see Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and Haba Snow Mountain. 5 Introduction to Baishuitai: Baishuitai is located at the foot of Haba Snow Mountain, in Baidi Village, Sanba Township, southeast of Shangri-La County, 101 kilometers from the county seat, at an altitude of 2380 meters, it is the birthplace of the Dongba religion of the Naxi people.

The well-defined fields sketch out the naturally beautiful lines, and the clear and transparent water fills them. Under the reflection of the blue sky, the water seems to have turned into a mysterious blue. The mud and sand in the fields are also milky white (deposits of calcium carbonate). These blue and white fields resemble a series of crescent moons put together. They shimmer and the gentle flowing water along the edges of the fields slowly moves, leaving behind beautiful traces in the mud and sand.
