  • Militang Alpine Pasture in Shangri-La, Diqing

    Why is Militang Alpine Pasture So Special?

    "Miritang," meaning "Buddha's eye - shaped meadow," is so named because it looks like a slender Buddha's eye. It is the largest pasture in Potatso National Park, about 3.7 miles and 10 minutes’ drive from Shudu Lake. Under the azure sky dotted with clouds, the grassland is like a giant green carpet paved on the ground, with yaks and sheep scattered around and smoke from herdsmen’s chimneys drifting in the breeze.

    Militang Alpine Pasture is about 10 minutes away for Shudu lake by driving.

It is about 26.2 km from Songzanlin Monastery and 25.1 km from Dukezong Old Town and Guishan Hill.
