During the period from July to August, the various flowers in the Potala National Park are in full bloom. The park decorated by various flowers will give people the feelings of vitality and vigor. The fog and clouds around the snow covered peaks are like the white Hada around the neck of Gods. The gaps of mountains are covered by verdant and flourishing tress. The thick and strong original woods, just like straight sharp swords, penetrate into sky.
The period from September to October is the best time to enjoy the blooming euphorbia flower and amazing autumn scenery of Shangri-La. The yellow euphorbia flowers, red androsacis, purple erigeron chrysanthemum, white pasqueflowers and blue radix gentianae make this plateau present out rich autumn atomosphere.
The winter after October is the ideal season to enjoy the Meli Snow Mountain. The best time to view the Meli Snow Mountain is after the end of October when the weather is fine and air is pure.

The climate of Meli Snow Mountain is changeable. The chance of viewing the Kawa Boge Peak is rare. The best time to view the Kawa Boge Peak is from 8 o'clock to 9 o'clock when you may see a strip of clouds under the snow covered peak. It is named "Kawa Boge presents Hada" by local Tibetans. With the sun rising up, the strip of clouds will gradually rise up. In the noon, the strip of clouds will float over the peak. That's named "Kawa Boge hold umbrella". This scene is rarely seen. It is said by Tibetans that only the right people have this opportunity.
