Shangri-La Secret Realm Bottomless Lake

The Tibetan name of Bottomless Lake is 'Tiandi Cuo', located at an altitude of 3800 meters in Diqing Shangri-La. Navigation can take you directly to the lakeside. There are many landslide sections in the second half of the journey, so always pay attention to safety, but the primeval forest is also very beautiful. The last section of the gravel road is in poor condition, but sedans can handle it without any pressure. There is a restaurant at the entrance where you can dine and buy some snacks. There is accommodation by the lake, and you can also camp. It's a pity we didn't bring camping gear this time, so we'll leave it for next time. The weather here is changeable and shrouded in mist. It was drizzling when we arrived, but soon the sky cleared up. The 3.5-kilometer hike around the lake is basically entry-level. The large meadow by the lake is full of wildflowers, and some parts of the forest are covered with moss, offering stunning scenery. It is recommended to wear waterproof hiking shoes. 🚗 Navigate to Shangri-La City Bottomless Lake Altitude: around 3800m Mountain entrance sanitation management fee: 10/person Bring your own tent: 200/tent Distance from Shangri-La City: about 100km, 3 hours by car Distance from Lijiang City: about 270km, 5 hours by car
