Located at the foot of Haba Snow Mountain in Shangri-La, Baishuitai is China's largest travertine terrace, hailed as "Fairy's Legacy Field". Formed over millennia by calcium-rich spring water depositing carbonate, it spans 3 sq km with layered, milky-white terraces shimmering like jade.
Crystal-clear pools mirror the sky, shifting hues of blue and green in sunlight. A sacred birthplace of Naxi Dongba culture, it hosts the annual "Worshipping White Water" festival on the 8th day of the second lunar month.Remote and unspoiled, this natural masterpiece blends surreal geological beauty with profound ethnic spirituality—a serene, dreamlike paradise in Shangri-La.
