Pudacuo in summer is sometimes sunny and sometimes rainy. I went there It was cloudy and rainy, so we first came to Shudu Lake and then to Bita Sea. Along the way, you will encounter wild ducks, Tibetan pigs, squirrels, yaks and horses. Tibetan aunts on the roadside will sell some freshly picked fungi. You can deeply feel the charm of the plateau oxygen bar. The water is gurgling, wild flowers are everywhere, the trees beside the plank road are deep and tall, and the lake is sparkling under the rainy sky.

Pudacuo is even more peaceful in winter, with fewer noisy tourists. There is ice-cold frost beside the plank road, and unmelted snow is hidden in the reeds. However, some have some disadvantages. In winter, only one scenic spot, Shudu Lake, is open in Pudacuo. Along the way, there are fewer herdsmen’s yaks and Tibetan pigs, but there are more birds, including woodpeckers, bullfinch, etc.
