The Bottomless Lake may be the pinnacle of travel photography in Shangri-La

If Shangri-La is a paradise on earth, then the Bottomless Lake in its secret realm must be the paradise within paradise. Many people don't know where the Bottomless Lake is, as it is too mysterious and unfamiliar to ordinary tourists. The Bottomless Lake is located in the heart of the Dilong Snow Mountain in Shangri-La. It takes more than 2 hours to drive from Shangri-La city, and the mountain roads along the way are rugged, often encountering landslides. But when you overcome all difficulties to reach here, you will be amazed by its beauty, as if you are in paradise. Due to its location on the plateau, at an altitude of around 4000 meters, the weather is very changeable. One moment the sky is clear, and the next it may be raining continuously. Fortunately, the weather changes quickly. 🎫Tickets: There are no tickets for the Bottomless Lake for now, but when entering the Bottomless Lake area, locals will charge a maintenance fee of 10 yuan per person. 💐Best Season: The best seasons to visit the Bottomless Lake are summer and autumn.
