Napahai Nature Reserve
Shangri-La, China
One of the most unusual phenomena in the world would be a seasonal lake! The Napahai Nature Reserve or the Napahai Natural Lake Reserve is such a unique site. Situated about 8Kms from Shangri-La, Yunnan Province, China it is a lake in the summer season when the snow from the surrounding mountains melts. At the time you will see a large number of migratory birds like ducks, geese, and cranes. In the dry and cold seasons, the entire lake dries up and will be full of rich pastures and grazing sheep. This gem is surrounded by mountains on three sides, making it a very enchanting place.
