Militang

Militang is located in Shangri-La Pudacuo National Park and is a sub-alpine meadow at an altitude of 3,700 meters.

Militang Alpine Pasture is located between Shudu Lake (also known as Shuodu Lake) and Bitahai in Pudacuo National Park in Shangri-La. "Militang" means "Buddha's eye-shaped meadow" because it resembles a slender Buddha's eye. It is named after it. It is a subalpine meadow at an altitude of 3,700 meters.

Militang, located between Shudu Lake (also known as Shuodu Lake) and Bitahai, is a subalpine meadow at an altitude of 3,700 meters. This is the grassland viewing platform. To protect the grassland, tourists are not allowed to enter the pasture and can only observe it from a distance from the viewing platform. The car only stays for 10 minutes, allowing you to take photos at the viewing platform and then leave.

Militang is a grassland viewing platform. In order to protect the grassland, you cannot enter here and can only appreciate it from the viewing platform.

The endless alpine meadows are not grazing season, and there is no cattle and sheep everywhere, which is a bit regrettable.

Militang Alpine Ranch is the second stop of the sightseeing bus.

"Militang" means "slender eye-shaped meadow" and is named because its shape resembles a slender Buddha's eye.

The sightseeing bus will only stay at the observation deck for about 10 minutes to let you take pictures.

However, at this time of year, even 10 minutes seemed too much. Other people's photos showed a sea of green, but the best view we saw was the one shown below.

Visitors are not allowed to enter the ranch and can only view it from a distance on the observation deck. The car only stays for 10 minutes to let you take photos at the observation deck before leaving.

Militang Alpine Pasture is located between Shudu Lake (also known as Shuodu Lake) and Bita Lake in Pudacuo National Park, Shangri-La. "Militang" means "Buddha's Eye Meadow," named for its elongated Buddha eye. It's a subalpine meadow at an altitude of 3,700 meters. The bus only stops for ten minutes, with only one viewing platform, so it's best to just take some photos here.

Militang is actually a large grassland with cows and horses!

It's a grassland, but walking on it is prohibited. We only had about 20 minutes to take photos. Even so, it was still beautiful.

The second stop of Pudacuo Park is an alpine pasture. The bus only stops for ten minutes and there is only one viewing platform. The scenery below is far less beautiful than that on the bus, so just take some photos here.

"Militang", located at an altitude of 3,700 meters, is an alpine meadow, named after its shape which resembles a "Buddha's eye".

In fact, the scenery is still very beautiful, but the way of sightseeing greatly limits the viewing experience.

Militang is located in the Shuangqiao Pudacuo Scenic Area in Deqin County, Diqing Prefecture, Yunnan Province. It is a beautiful alpine pasture.

Militang Alpine Pasture is part of Shangri-La Pudacuo National Park, located between Shudu Lake and Bitahai. It is named because it looks like an elongated Buddha's eye. "Militang" means "Buddha's eye-shaped meadow" in Tibetan.

This is the second stop in the Pudacuo Scenic Area, and the stay was very short. Our bus only stopped for 10 minutes. In winter, the grass here is dry and yellow, with some cattle and sheep grazing. In fact, there is not much scenery to see here. It is said that it is very beautiful when the flowers bloom in spring.

The prairie is large but can only be viewed from the viewing platform. There are cattle and sheep in the prairie that can be photographed.

The second stop of Pudacuo is Militang. Winter is not a good time to visit here for the scenery. The meadow is still withered and yellow, revealing the crisscrossing gullies of the river on the grassland.

Militang Grassland is located between Shudu Lake and Bita Lake. Tour buses stop at designated spots for about ten minutes, and tourists are not allowed to wander around. As a result, Militang is remarkably well-preserved.

In Pudacuo National Forest Park, located between Shudu Lake and Bitahai, the altitude is relatively high, about 4180 meters, and the scenery is nice.

I never imagined the ecological environment here would be so well-preserved. I imagine that perhaps 500 years ago, or even earlier, the urban natural ecology of our hometown would have been just as intact. Yet, today, city dwellers can only see nature in its true form and this well-preserved ecosystem by visiting Shangri-La and Pudacuo National Park. This experience isn't so much a sightseeing trip as it is a journey through time. Only by immersing yourself in this tranquil, profound primeval forest can you truly appreciate the charm of Shangri-La and the spirituality of Buddha.

【Militang】

The second attraction, Militang, is unfortunately closed to the public and can only be viewed from a distance for ten minutes from a high mountaintop. Located between Shudu Lake and Bita Lake, at an altitude of over 4,000 meters, it is the highest point in Pudacuo. Militang is a vast grassland pasture, with cattle grazing freely around the sheds, creating a sense of paradise.

The natural scenery, the cattle and horses running freely on the grassland, and the white clouds in the sky make it a great place for tourism.

Militang, meaning "Buddha's Eye-Shaped Meadow," is named for its resemblance to an elongated Buddha's eye. In summer, flowers bloom and cattle and sheep roam the area. Militang is a subalpine meadow covering approximately 240 hectares at an altitude of 3,700 meters. Legend has it that Militang is the Buddha's worldly eye, capable of seeing through the world and dispelling obstacles to perception. Among the grasses on the grassland is a plant called Potentilla, rich in protein and fat, and extremely nutritious. This plant nourishes cattle, resulting in strong and sturdy milk production, which is high in ghee and cheese. Consequently, Militang has long been a renowned alpine pasture in Shangri-La.

A key attraction in Pudacuo Forest Park is a meadow between Shudu Lake and Bita Lake. The scenic area's eco-friendly vehicles stop here for 10 minutes for visitors to take photos.

A natural ranch, a harmonious ecological environment,~~

Militang Ranch is part of Shangri-La's Pudacuo National Park, located between the Shudu Lake and Bitahai scenic spots. I visited in the summer, and it was lush and green. I imagine it would be even more beautiful in autumn.

Militang, meaning "Buddha's Eye Meadow," gets its name from its resemblance to an elongated Buddha's eye. It's a subalpine meadow at an altitude of 3,700 meters. It's said that the plants growing on the pasture are rich in protein and fat, which helps the cattle and sheep grow fat and strong, producing large amounts of milk with a high proportion of ghee and cheese. Therefore, Militang Pasture has always been an important pasture in Shangri-La. The herders living here continue to lead their own lives. The combination of pristine lifestyle and scenic beauty maintains a highly pristine ecological experience.

Located between Shudu Lake and Bita Lake, this place gave me the feeling of paradise at first glance. It's truly stunning. A photo I took there still serves as my phone's wallpaper. The one below is my favorite. My only regret is that I went with two friends, and one of them is the only one in the photo. However, because it's so natural, the only downside is the faint smell of cow dung in the air, which somewhat ruins the atmosphere, but the stunning scenery makes you forget it. It's worth noting that the view is only from the observation deck, and the park's bus stop is just 10 meters away.

Vast, alpine meadows, Pudacuo National Park.

Militang in Pudacuo National Park has only one viewing platform, overlooking the grassland and yaks.

This is a meadow with grazing livestock everywhere. People are not allowed to go down. I think it is to protect the living environment of animals. You only stay here for ten minutes to take pictures.

It is very open and more beautiful than the Biyila grassland. Unfortunately, there are no close-up shots of the cattle and sheep on the pasture, and it is impossible to get close contact with them.

We mainly took photos of the scenery below from the platform: the grassland, the houses, and the yaks. We were afraid we would disturb their lives and damage their environment, so we could only watch from a distance and not touch them.

It's breathtakingly beautiful! It's a shame the eco-friendly car only stopped for ten minutes. It's hard to describe the beauty of the alpine pastures; all I can say is that it's a paradise.

In autumn and winter, the rolling grasslands are bathed in a pale golden hue, creating a sense of desolation and forlornness, but this is only temporary. Beneath the withered and frosted grass, grass seeds and other plants are accumulating energy and nurturing new life. When spring returns next year, the vast grasslands will unfold like smooth green silk, showcasing distant mountains, forests, pastures, sheds, herds of cattle, horses, and wildflowers. This will create a tranquil and beautiful grassland landscape. I truly wish to return in spring and summer to see Shangri-La at its most beautiful.

At the end of October, I went to Lijiang and signed up for a local tour group to visit Shangri-La, Pudacuo Forest Park, Tiger Leaping Gorge, Dukezong Temple, and Meili Snow Mountain. Pudacuo Forest Park was a must-go. Due to winter, the pastures were no longer green, and there were no cattle, sheep, or horses. There was only a desolate beauty and vastness.

Militang is a plateau ranch. You will take a bus to an observation deck. While waiting for the bus, the staff will also give out small gifts!

It only takes 20 minutes to visit Militang.

Militang Pasture has always been an important pasture in Shangri-La, with herds of cattle and sheep, and of course, a lot of cow dung.

We only stopped for 5 minutes when passing by a scenic spot, which was supposed to be 10 minutes. However, it was just a one-time visit, maybe it was not the right season.

Militang Alpine Pasture is part of Shangri-La Pudacuo National Park, located between Shudu Lake and Bitahai. It is named because it looks like an elongated Buddha's eye. "Militang" means "Buddha's eye-shaped meadow" in Tibetan. Militang is a subalpine meadow at an altitude of 3,700 meters.

"Milithang" means "slender eye-shaped meadow" in Tibetan, named for its resemblance to a Buddha's eye. Milithang boasts lush vegetation, and its meadows, wetlands, and meandering streams are truly captivating. We visited in winter, and the flowers and plants had already withered. Looking out, the withered grass trembled in the cold wind, and the occasional yak nibbled the grass. It would have been even more beautiful in other seasons!

The view is very good, with cattle and sheep dotted around, and the location of the viewing platform was carefully chosen.

Because we went there at the wrong season, the grass on the Militang grassland was dry, but the scenery was still magnificent.

If you take the scenic bus, this place is a stop between Shudu Lake and Bita Lake. The scenery is beautiful, but unfortunately you can only see it from the bus or on the observation deck. And the viewing time on the observation deck is limited to 5-10 minutes. It's too short. I really want to get off and walk around.

I heard you could see a lot of black-necked cranes at Militang Subalpine Pasture, but I don't know if I'm ignorant or if I really didn't see any. The alpine pastures in winter are also this color, just like the grasslands I saw on the first day.

A small alpine meadow, somewhat inferior to that of Ruoergai.

Militang is lush with water plants, and its meadows, wetlands, and meandering landscapes are truly captivating. In spring and summer, Militang looks like smooth green silk, with cattle and sheep scattered across it like pearls. The colorful meadows are a dazzling display of flowers, making them exceptionally gorgeous. Tourists are not allowed to enter the area and can only take photos outside the fence for ten minutes. Tibetans can enter and exit with their cattle and sheep during the grazing season.

Because we went there at the end of November, a lot of the grass had already dried up. If we had come in September, everything would have been lush and green, which was beautiful. There was also a film crew filming at the time, so a section of the road was closed.

This is a horse farm. Watching the horses grazing from afar, it felt like I was transported to the grasslands of Inner Mongolia, and there was no sense of being on a plateau meadow at an altitude of nearly 4,000 meters.

Militang is very peaceful. It is autumn now and the grass on the grassland is no longer so lush. We are lucky enough to come here on a sunny day to see the vastness of the grassland. It is enough for us to be content with our new love.

The second scenic spot in Pudacuo is Militang Pasture. This is a relatively high place in the Pudacuo scenic area, about 4100 meters above sea level. It is a natural pasture where the herders live their lives. This is the result of the combination of primitive life and scenic area. The tour does not disturb the original life.

The alpine pasture, known as the "Buddha's eye-shaped meadow", is very beautiful and feels particularly good.

Here, I experience the interweaving of beauty and pain.

The vast expanse of alpine meadows connects with the forest and the sky, and in the distance, herds of cattle and horses roam freely. However, there is not even a hiking trail here. We only stayed here for 10 minutes, just like a group tour, took some photos, and then got on the bus and left.

Vast expanses of alpine meadows connect to the forest and the sky. Herds of cattle and horses roam freely in the distance. I long to gallop across the grasslands, feeling as if I were slowly taking flight. However, there aren't even any hiking trails here. We only stay for 10 minutes, like a group tour: snap a photo, then get back in the car and leave. If you've ever experienced this, you'll understand the feeling of a caged bird.

But the place is so beautiful, and the time I stayed here was too short! The light here is very suitable for taking pictures, and I was lucky enough to take pictures that I am satisfied with.

Militang is a wetland with lush grass and water, and cattle, sheep and horses are scattered among it, creating a pastoral scene.

The Miritang Viewing Spot, in my opinion, is just a grassland with cows, horses and sheep grazing on the grass. It is the same as the one outside that does not require a ticket.

Militang, a grassland deep in the forest, where we can only sightsee for 10 minutes, because the sightseeing buses depart one after another. Our bus on Shudu Lake will have a tour guide explaining it all the way back to the end.

The parking is only for 10 minutes. There is not much to see, just a large pasture, but there are not many cows or sheep.

Militang Grassland, at an altitude of 3,700 meters, stretches 4.5 kilometers from east to west and 0.5 kilometers from north to south. Spreading among the rolling hills, it is flat and expansive. It is said that in summer, it is a sea of flowers, with a variety of wildflowers blooming, earning it the nickname "Colorful Meadow." In late May, the flowers are less abundant, and the meadow is a hue of yellow and green.

In the low hills of the Militang Observation Deck, there is an undulating meadow pasture, with horses and yaks scattered on it, and a few wooden sheds dotted among them. Large patches of sunlight are reflected on it, creating a wonderful alpine grassland scene, just like the scenery photos on postcards. I seriously doubt that this scene was formed naturally, but it is definitely not without artificial design and arrangement.

In Militang, you can see vast grasslands that contrast with the blue sky. You can also see Tibetans grazing yaks here. Because it is autumn, the scenery is a bit disappointing. If you come in July, you can still see flowers of various colors.

Militang is just a plateau pasture. There is nothing special about it. I got off the bus, took some photos and rushed to the next stop.

The season when we arrived at Militang was the time when the grass was regrowing. The vast expanse of green was very beautiful. If we had come in another 2-3 weeks, the color of the grass might have been even better.

A large plateau meadow. When I went there, the grass was not green yet, but there were still herds of cattle and sheep. The sky and the earth were vast.

The beauty of a place's scenery is profoundly influenced by the sky. Militang's pristine skies provide a clean backdrop for the rest of the scenery, creating breathtaking views. The sightseeing bus circled for over ten minutes before stopping beside a low-lying meadow. That was Militang, a grassland hidden deep within the mountains. Where the sun shines, the grass stretches out, green grass and vibrant flowers dancing together. Amidst the changing colors of the grass, scattered cattle and sheep, the river and huts exude an exquisite elegance.

We continued on to Militang. The mountain road twisted and turned, and our experienced driver drove quickly and steadily. Militang boasts vast grasslands and forests, a pristine environment that allows the cattle and horses to enjoy a leisurely life. I've heard that in July and August, the most beautiful flowers grow on cow dung. Imagine the beauty of the colorful flowers blooming on the grass. We were a little early in the season, but there were already a variety of flowers, especially azaleas.

Militang is actually a large grassland, where cattle, horses and sheep are leisurely grazing in groups, full of vitality. In order to protect the scenic environment, we can only stand on the observation deck to overlook the entire Militang...

The grasslands and primeval forests are a delight to the eyes, and the vast pastures stretch as far as the eye can see. The boundless sea of ​​green forests is dotted with golden colors. The mountain depressions are large golden meadows, where yaks leisurely graze, and a few small wooden houses are scattered among them.

This lush pasture is also the home of the herders. A few hundred meters from the viewing platform, you can see several wooden houses called "shepherd's sheds." In spring, summer, and autumn, they provide shelter and rest for the herders. In winter, the herders migrate with their cattle and sheep to lower altitudes, leaving the sheds unused until the spring sunshine returns. They return. At mealtimes, wisps of smoke rise from the sheds, silently beckoning the herders home. The blue sky, white clouds, grassland, cattle and sheep, and the black sheds all form a beautiful picture, and our entry is like entering this painting. However, no matter how beautiful it is, we are only passing through and must leave. Here, the herders will continue their simple and unpretentious lives.

A grassland, a large area of cattle and sheep. I still feel that the scenery is only good where there are drops of water. This place is just average.

Militang is actually an alpine pasture, and 20 minutes is enough to stay there, which is just the time to stay at the viewing platform.

This is Militang, which means "Buddha's eye meadow" because it looks like a slender Buddha's eye. In summer, there are flowers blooming here and cattle and sheep are everywhere.

Militang, a high mountain pasture at 3700M, it’s a pity that we went there at the wrong season.
