White Water Terraces adds a different natural and cultural subject to Shangri-La: pale limestone forms and the Naxi traditions associated with the site. Make it a planned road outing, ideally where the route already serves your wider journey, rather than an improvised extra after another big park. Follow the formal visitor areas and keep off sensitive formations. Give the setting enough time to notice water and texture, then leave the remaining road day simple.
