Pudacuo National Park 普达措国家公园
Choose Pudacuo for the combination of lake, forest and meadow rather than a race to a single landmark. Decide which currently open section you will walk and allow the group to set the pace. Interpretation of the ecosystem adds more than another hurried photograph of blue water. Keep the return and a warm meal straightforward. If visibility is limited, the nearer forest and water remain the subject, while a strenuous optional route can wait.
