🚗 Transportation to the scenic spot: Take a taxi from Songzanlin Temple to Midway Coffee, and take bus No. 12 on the way back. At the last stop, Napahai White Pagoda Station, you can see the whole Napahai by bus 👍️ Must-see attractions: Napahai before Midway Coffee in June is already a grassland. There are yaks and herdsmen grazing on the grassland. Some people are singing, some are riding yaks, and some are riding horses. If you are farther away from the crowd, the human voices will immediately become silent. There are only the calls and bells of yaks in the distance, which are so vast that they seem to be able to dilute all the troubles and anger. 🎟️ Tickets: Free, including taking pictures at the big prayer flags and holding lambs. ⏳ Play time: I went to Songzanlin Temple in the morning and Napahai in the afternoon. I lay on the grassland for half an hour and took the bus to see the whole Napahai. Everything is good with the world. #Shangri-La Napahai
