Return to Shangri-La City and stop at Napa Sea where the lakes and mountains complement each other and the cattle and sheep roam freely in the meadows. Napa Sea is a seasonal lake in the plateau. The four seasons of Napa Sea have their own characteristics. In the late summer and early autumn, it is the rainy season. At this time, the water level is high, and the Napa Sea is a large lake. In summer, the lake is full. The grass grows with small flowers, and the sheep, cattle, and horses graze in groups, blending with the grasslands. The autumn grasslands are golden and the snow peaks are reflected in the lake. In the dry season of winter and spring, the lake surface shrinks or even dries up, turning into a large swamp.
