🌟Wudi Lake Travel Guide
📍Address: Shangri-La City, Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture (Recommended to drive yourself or hire a car)
⏰Opening Hours: Open all day, all year round

💡Practical tips:
1️⃣Make sure to go on a sunny day! The lake water appears even more brilliantly blue under the sunlight, and the distant snow-capped mountains and autumn colors reflected on the lake surface are incredibly dreamy.
2️⃣There are many free-roaming yaks by the lake; remember to keep your distance when taking photos and do not disturb them.
3️⃣It's recommended to wear brightly colored clothes; they stand out especially well against the blue sky and white clouds.
4️⃣The altitude is quite high (approx. 3800 meters), so remember to bring an oxygen tank and avoid strenuous activities.
5️⃣It can be windy by the lake, so it's advisable to bring a windbreaker.

It's recommended to go between 3-5 PM, as the lighting is best for photos. On the day we visited, we also met super cute Tibetan children and their ponies, it felt just like stepping into a fairy tale!

🍱Food Recommendation:
On your way back, you can try yak hotpot in Dukezong Ancient City. The warm broth paired with tender yak meat is incredibly refreshing!
