Baishuitai (Chinese: 白水台; pinyin: bái shuǐ tái; lit. 'White Water Terrace') is located in Baidi (白地村), a village between Lijiang and Shangri-La County in Sanba Township (三坝乡), Shangri-La County, Dêqên Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, northwestern Yunnan province, China.[1] Slightly north of Haba near the upper Yangtze river valley, it is noted for its natural mineral terraces.

In October 2013, a daily bus ran between Tiger Leaping Gorge and Baishuitai at a price of 55 RMB. Tickets can be purchased at Tina's Guest House or Tibet Guest House. Taxis can be arranged, at a price of around 300 RMB.

From Shangri-la

[edit]

In August 2013, there were two daily buses operating between Shangri-la and Baishuitai, one leaving Shangri-la at 9 am and one at 2 pm. The ticket price was 25 RMB. The journey of about 90 km lasts around 3 hours, because of the very difficult mountain road.
