Yunnan 2023, Day 6: Potatso National Park

Yunnan 2023, Day 6: Potatso National Park

This morning, I went to visit the Potatso National Park in Shangri-La. The transfer bus to the inside of the park was the longest I’ve ever sit. The surrounding somehow reminded me of the Flower Lake (Hua Hu) in Ruoergai (Zoigê) which I visited in 2019. The elevation of this place was also the same, about 3,600m. But it was a pity I didn’t stroll a full round of the boardwalk.

After lunch, I said goodbye to the sunny and windy Shangri-La to get back to Lijiang by visiting the giant prayer wheel at the Guishan Park and the Shangri-la Inner Harmony Stupa of Pagoda.

When I got back to the same hotel in Lijiang, there was a crowd in front of the Huimin Supermarket. Turned out they were celebrating the International Children’s Day. I laughed when I heard children replying “shou ji” when they were asked what gift they wanted.

Tomorrow I’ll take the speed train for the first time in China to be back to Kunming.

Passions And Joys

To live is to be addicted to something, otherwise you will not feel alive.

So 2 years ago today I left the rainy Ruoergai for Langmusi, a place they called “Oriental mini-Switzerland”. I hadn’t been climbing for nearly two days, after I checked in the hostel, I had to go up the hill nearby. It wasn’t as near as I thought, but the feeling of being alone and quiet on top of the hill was great. This was me checking the height of where I stood. 3,395 meters.

Sống là phải nghiện một thứ gì đó, nếu không bạn không cảm thấy còn sống.
