Kayaking on Lugu Lake: Exploring the Waters in a Traditional Mosuo Pig Trough Boat
#kayak #100waysoftravel #yunnan #lugulake #luguhu #travelchina
One of the must-do activities at Lugu Lake is to kayak or take a traditional boat tour. Nestled on the border of Yunnan and Sichuan provinces, Lugu Lake is renowned for its crystal-clear waters, breathtaking mountainous backdrop, and cultural significance as the home of the Mosuo people, a minor ethnic group. The boats used on the lake are called pig trough boats, named for their resemblance to long pig troughs. These sturdy vessels are carved from openwork logs with sharpened ends, a unique tradition of the Mosuo people. While paddling in one of these boats can be challenging due to the heavy wooden paddles, the serene atmosphere of the lake makes the effort worthwhile. We visited in April and, unfortunately, missed the blooming season for 水性杨花 (aquatic poplar flowers), a special floating plant that graces the lake’s surface during the right time of year. Despite that, we enjoyed leisurely paddling across the tranquil water, taking in the picturesque views of the surrounding landscape. As the lake is quite expansive, we grew tired, and eventually, the boat master took over, guiding us back to shore. The entire experience was unforgettable, immersing us in the peaceful beauty of Lugu Lake and the Mosuo culture.

The Lugu Lake in early summer is as beautiful as an oil painting!
Nestled deep within the Yunnan-Tibet Plateau, Lugu Lake is not only a paradisiacal haven akin to the mythical Penglai, but also the sacred Mother Lake of the Mosuo people✨
⭐For first-time visitors to Lugu Lake, Daluoshui Village is a recommended choice. The village boasts convenient transportation, lake-view homestays🏨, and the opportunity to experience pig-trough boat rides at Daluoshui Wharf. You can wake up to a lakeside sunrise🌅 and enjoy Mosuo bonfire parties in the evening.
⭐The entire circumference of Lugu Lake is approximately 70-80 kilometers, which can be covered in a day by self-driving or hiring a car. If you choose to hire a car, remember to contact the driver a day in advance.
.
Clockwise lake circuit:
Daluoshui Village - Lige - Love Wharf - Grass Sea - Walking Marriage Bridge - Sichuan Lovers' Beach - Luyuan Cliff - Lige Peninsula - Daluoshui Village
1️⃣Lige
This is a less crowded area of Lugu Lake with boutique hotels and homestays. It also features a lakeside beach, making it an ideal spot for those seeking a tranquil vacation.
2️⃣Love Wharf
Highly recommended by local drivers, Love Wharf offers cheaper boat rides compared to other wharfs. You can enjoy a lake tour to Grass Sea and Princess Island. The cost for a four-person tour to Grass Sea is 35 yuan per person, and the lake tour lasts about one and a half hours.
3️⃣Grass Sea, Walking Marriage Bridge
The Walking Marriage Bridge and Grass Sea are located in the same area. Grass Sea is a tall reed marsh, with the reeds turning green in June and July, making it the best time to visit. The Walking Marriage Bridge, a wooden bridge over 300 meters long, is a romantic spot for Mosuo couples. There are many snack and craft stalls on both sides of the bridge, and you can also enjoy horse riding along the lake.
4️⃣Sichuan Lovers' Beach
One of the two Lovers' Beaches at Lugu Lake, this one is located in Sichuan. The beach is long with an open view, featuring a willow-lined walkway, pig-trough boats, artificial scenes, and numerous homestays and hotels nearby, creating a relaxing holiday atmosphere.
5️⃣Luyuan Cliff
An open-view hillside viewing platform, where prayer flags flutter in the wind, offering an unobstructed view of the turquoise highland lake.
6️⃣Lige Peninsula
A small island surrounded by water on three sides, with several ancient buildings, exuding a hermit-like charm. It is also an excellent spot for watching sunrise and sunset🌇

📌Tips:
1. There are four to five buses daily from Lijiang to Lugu Lake. You can book tickets on Lijiang Transportation, with a ticket price of 76 yuan per person. The entrance fee for Lugu Lake scenic area is 70 yuan per person.
2. It's almost impossible to hail a taxi or rent an electric car at Lugu Lake. You can only self-drive or hire a car for a tour around the lake, with the cost of hiring or sharing a car being 200 yuan per day.
3. In June and July, the lake surface is covered with a lot of water poplar flowers, offering a unique boating experience.
4. Although Goddess Bay doesn't offer accommodation, you can still visit Goddess Mountain. The cable car to Goddess Mountain closes at 5:30 pm, so if you want to see the mountain cave, make sure to start early.
5. Even in summer, the temperature difference between day and night at Lugu Lake is significant, with only a few degrees at night, so bring a jacket.

I recently visited Yunnan and discovered why it is known as the 'Land of Eternal Spring'
In China, many provinces are named after the mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas on the land, but only Yunnan's clouds come from the sky.
People use 'Land of Eternal Spring' to describe this realm. The complex monsoon alternations give the wandering clouds on the plateau the richest and most colorful changes. In the northwest of Yunnan, the coming and going of clouds creates a world of changing light and shadow.

Dali🏯
In Dali, the fixed combination is Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake. They are like an inseparable pair, blessing every man and woman who comes here.
The ancient architecture and the pure blue sky reflect each other.
Strolling by the Erhai Lake, with the breeze on your face, you feel the gifts of nature.
Here, you will understand why people say Dali is a place that heals the soul🍃

Lugu Lake🌊
Yunnan's clouds not only float in the sky but also in the water.
If you like tranquility, you can come to Lugu Lake, face the water, watch the white clouds pass by, watch time slip away.

Walking by the lake, it's like being in a fairy tale world, where the Naxi and Mosuo girls capture everyone's hearts🌸

Lijiang🌷
Everyone who has been to Lijiang has their own favorite aspect.
Wooden buildings and stone paths, flowing water and fresh flowers, but one combination is the most beloved by many, which is the old town and the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain.
Standing at the foot of the snow mountain, time seems to stand still, making you feel peace and happiness🌙

Kunming✨

Shangri-La⛰️
Shangri-La, first conceived over 80 years ago by a Western writer, in his depiction, there is an eternal land of peace and tranquility among the mountains in the Far East.
That plateau seems like the staircase to heaven.
The peaks of the snow mountains are shrouded in mist, and the people here, with their Buddhist faith, have souls as pure as snow and live simple and happy lives🏔️

Yunnan, every step is a poem, every scene is a painting.
The nature and culture here blend together, making it a place that captivates the heart. The beauty of Yunnan, like a dream, forever remains in my heart, becoming a precious experience in my life.
If you like it here, then while the time is right, take a trip to Yunnan
Turn the 'place you long for' into the 'place you have been'.

Comprehensive comparison, which is more worth visiting, Lugu Lake or Erhai Lake?
Erhai Lake and Lugu Lake, as two lakes in the western Yunnan tourist route, many people who travel to Yunnan will be entangled, how to choose between Erhai Lake and Lugu Lake?
This article will make a comprehensive comparison of the two lakes, like and collect notes, to see which lake is more suitable for you.
🍀Lake color: Lugu Lake > Erhai Lake
Erhai Lake and Lugu Lake have many similarities, both lakes can be circled, and there are mountains by the lake. Erhai Lake is nestled at the foot of Cangshan Mountain, while the Gemu Goddess Mountain by Lugu Lake is also quite distinctive.
The difference is that Erhai Lake is larger. Erhai Lake is the second largest lake in Yunnan after Dianchi Lake, while Lugu Lake is shared by Sichuan and Yunnan, ranking fifth in Yunnan.
Just looking at the lake itself, the scenery of Lugu Lake is far better than that of Erhai Lake. The water quality of Lugu Lake remains in the first class all year round, the lake is clear, and it will show different colors at different angles, which is incomparable to Erhai Lake.
So, if you want to see water, Lugu Lake is undoubtedly the first choice, provided it must be sunny.
🚌Transportation: Erhai Lake > Lugu Lake
Erhai Lake is not far from Dali Ancient City, and it is on the must-pass route from Kunming to Lijiang, the transportation is very convenient, which is incomparable to Lugu Lake.
In comparison, Lugu Lake is not on the main line of Yunnan tourism, most people choose to drive from Lijiang (about 4 hours, many mountain roads), precisely because of this factor, many people give up Lugu Lake, let Lugu Lake be unknown.
In terms of tourism facilities, Erhai Lake and Dali Ancient City, Chongsheng Temple Three Pagodas, etc. constitute the basic plate of Dali travel, whether it is the richness of scenic spots or various entertainment facilities, Erhai Lake is much more complete. And Lugu Lake is relatively less diverse in scenery, mainly natural scenery.
💰Tourism cost: Lugu Lake > Erhai Lake
Excluding the consumption factors of eating and living, the cost of going to Lugu Lake is higher than that of Erhai Lake. Mainly reflected in two aspects:
First, time cost. As mentioned earlier, Lugu Lake is far away and is on the tourist branch line, so it usually takes 2-3 days to go to Lugu Lake.
Second, ticket cost. Erhai Lake is free, Lugu Lake ticket is 70 yuan/person.
✨Comprehensive comparison: the duel of humanities and nature
Overall, Lugu Lake and Erhai Lake have their own characteristics. Erhai Lake has a deeper historical accumulation, the story of wind, flower, snow and moon is long, and it is more literary and artistic to take pictures.
And Lugu Lake is natural and primitive, the color of the lake and the colorful pig trough boat are memorable. If there is enough time, it is recommended to go to both Erhai Lake and Lugu Lake.
If you have to choose one, it depends on whether you like nature or humanities more, I personally recommend Lugu Lake more.

Yunnan Lijiang: Spring travel guide, collect it quickly
Bright sunshine, warm weather, recently, Lijiang City, Yunnan Province is getting warmer and warmer. Everything is full of vitality, the camellias in the yard, the magnolias in the park, the cherry blossoms next to the community, the willow fluff by the river... are all conveying the message of spring.
Today, I will present a guide to Lijiang's spring, collecting a whole spring's heart!
Smelling flowers
Lijiang's spring is a 'flower' world. At the beginning of each spring, various flowers in Lijiang begin to bloom in spring. Red, white, yellow, pink... every flower is heart-moving.
Slowly, the rapeseed flowers in Shigu Town, Lijiang began to bloom, a piece of golden rapeseed flowers, making romance and poetry come to mind. The spring of Shigu, the bright blue sky, the clear flowing river, the large terraced rapeseed flowers, the pink walls and black tiles of the houses, can't help but think of Tao Yuanming's Peach Blossom Spring.
After the spring, the camellias of Yufeng Temple in Lijiang bloom brilliantly, bringing a different scenery to this spring, and also attracting many tourists to come and enjoy the flowers. Walking into Yufeng Temple, the camellias, ten miles of fragrance, mountain magnolias and other flowers in the courtyard are all vying to bloom, and the fragrance of flowers is overflowing.
In spring, the pink on Cherry Blossom Avenue is particularly expected. In March, the cherry trees on both sides of Snow Mountain Road in Lijiang city begin to bloom in spring. At this time, the sea of flowers is like a tide, and the scenery is refreshing under the reflection of the snow mountain. With the snow mountain as the background, with the blue sky as the foil, on the dry thin branches, clusters of pink petals are extraordinarily beautiful.
At the same time, the cherry blossoms of Puji Temple also entered the blooming period. Cherry blossoms, growing in the Zen-filled temple, seem to have a few more faint fragrances invisibly. The flower branches are higher than the beams, and the petals bloom above the tiles. The architecture here is antique, and the blooming of cherry blossoms has become a vibrant embellishment.
In spring, the magnolia flowers in Lijiang Park bloom as scheduled. Under the blue sky, the white calyx is quietly and peacefully blooming, looking pure and gentle, shy and lovely.
Every April, roses will bloom all over the streets and alleys of Lijiang. In Lijiang, many people like to plant a few roses in front of and behind their houses. The roses that wrap around the willows or trellises, quietly blooming in the corners of the ancient stone roads, under the white walls and green tiles, and in the deep courtyards. The flowers are clustered and fragrant, quite artistic.
Garden tour
Spring is a good season for outings, why not go to the park for a walk, breathe fresh air, watch flowers and grass spit out fragrance, and welcome the endless spring light.
In spring, the sky in Heilongtan Park in Lijiang is high and far, and the white clouds are leisurely. The water here is clear and the air is fresh. It is a good place for spring outings.
Entering the park, the first thing that comes into view is a calm and clear lake, with fish swimming freely in the lake. The lake reflects the scenery next to it, which is as beautiful as a picture scroll.
Walking on the small road in the garden, you will also meet old people walking in Naxi costumes, a family of three who come out to relax in their spare time... Tourists gather by the lake and under the trees, in twos and threes, talking and laughing.
Lake tour
The distant green mountains are like dais, and the nearby green lakes are like jade. In the spring, facing the breeze, take a leisurely walk by the lake with family and friends, how comfortable.
Lugu Lake is quiet and secluded. Tourists who come here will be intoxicated in the charming lake and mountain scenery and forget the way back.
In spring, Lijiang Lashi Lake is vast, facing the spring breeze, taking a walk by the lake, plus the beautiful scenery, it is refreshing.
Wenbi Mountain in Lijiang city is one of the best places to view the snow mountain. From Wenbi Mountain, the snow mountain and the reflection of the lake echo each other, showing the blank space of the landscape painting to the fullest. The newly built nearly 2 kilometers of viewing and fitness trail can be used for running, taking pictures, watching seabirds, and has become a new check-in place in Lijiang.
In the north of Lijiang city, there is a place called Zhongji Sea. There is a gentle breeze, warm sunshine, and it is a good place for leisurely walks. Walking around Zhongji Sea, facing the water and the wind, let the clothes flutter, leisurely and contented.
Qingxi Reservoir in the northern suburbs of Lijiang, looking up to see the blue sky, looking down to see the clear lake, the shadows of the trees are swaying. The snow mountain is reflected in the lake, which is beautiful and is a good place for walking, cooling off, and travel photography.

Autumn mountain full moon, this place is where my heart is
Encountering the 'autumn mountain' in the winter between the mountains and rivers, and seeing the beauty of the moonlit night of Lugu Lake at the time of the full moon, standing by the blue lake and taking a photo with the Gem Goddess Mountain. Autumn mountain full moon, this place is where my heart is. And the 'autumn mountain' has included this scene in every guest room. The moment of check-in is full of surprises. As long as you look out through the balcony and windows of the room, you can see the lake and mountains. It's like a gust of free wind. We also ride the wind and feel the poetic beauty of Lugu Lake's mountains and waters. About Autumn Mountain, a one-minute walk out of the door is the unrestrained pier where you can see the fairyland of morning mist. The design of the lonely wind, the color matching of the entire environment is a simple and clean theme, the aesthetics of the person in charge is good, the furniture and supplies are retro but not vulgar, so I love every corner here. The public area of the hotel is like a coffee shop by the lake, roasting fire in front of the fireplace, drinking coffee and enjoying the lake view, it's as comfortable as in a movie clip. Although there are only six rooms in the hotel, each room faces Lugu Lake. The design of the room is full of life aesthetics, and it looks like a picture book when you take a casual shot.

THEO ROGERS
初探女兒國—雲南瀘沽湖
Located on the border between Yunnan and Sichuan provinces, Lugu Lake is the highest lake in Yunnan and the third largest deepwater lake in China.
Under the natural veil of beautiful mountains and waters, there was an ancient and mysterious "daughter country" - the Mosuo people hidden on the shores of Lugu Lake.
The Mosuo are currently the last Eastern ethnic group to retain the matriarchal system, and are unique among China's ethnic minorities; Magnificent natural landscapes and unique ethnic customs cast a strong legend on Lugu Lake.
The Mosuo are the last Eastern people to retain the matriarchal system, so Lugu Lake has a special title called the Oriental Daughter Country. Just like the daughter's country in "Journey to the West", the Mosuo people are dominated by women, and their status is more prominent, and the eldest grandmother is generally the head of the family, in charge of the family's living, eating, production, sacrifices, etc., which is the core of the entire Mosuo family.
We attended the Mosuo Museum and learned about one of their most unique cultures, marriage. Men and women who "go to marriage" only maintain their relationship with feelings, and once they find that their personalities are incompatible or their feelings are weakened, they can cut off their relationship with each other at any time, which shows that although the Mosuo people are in power by the matrilineal people, even the male people also have the right to freely choose their partners, preferring women but not boys.
Lijiang to Lugu Lake transportation: You can choose chartered bus (5-6 hours) or bus (7-8 hours) We were in Lijiang and then asked the local travel agency.

Hiking around Lugu Lake
My first time hiking at high evelations. It took me three half-days to complete the hike around Lugu Lake.
On day 1 I hiked from Daluoshui village to Lige. I wouldn’t consider that part of the trail idea for hiking since it was mostly car roads but the views were indeed breathtaking.
After finding my rhythm and getting used to high elevations, I decided to go for a moderate challenge on day 2 hiking towards Nvshenwan. Despite the fact that I started the hike late morning and had to stop from time to time to take in the incredible natural landscape, I managed to reach my destination before sunset and settled myself into an inn. The inn owner was such an interesting and knowledgeable person that I learned so much about the Mosuo culture from him. We spent the entire evening sitting around the fireplace conversing on a wide variety of topics.
I finished around 65km of my trip around the lake with a bit of hitchhiking on the last day. Even though my back was in pain afterwards, the lake was absolutely worth the hike!

Lugu Lake, Lijiang trip (2 days)
Lugu Lake (泸沽湖)
it was a far way to arrive there from Lijiang ancient town. I only remembered I was sleeping all way through, but every time I woke up, we hadn’t arrived🥲 climbed 5 mountains, took 4 hours, we finally arrived Lugu Lake!
Pic 1️⃣
on the way to Lugu Lake, we can see Jinsha River(金沙江). Love this turquoise green!

Lugu Lake viewing platform. There was super crowded, I went on the workdays, couldn’t imagine if it is in weekends or holiday... but the most disappointing thing is, there’s a row of trees blocking the view! Very difficult to shoot nice pictures there. So if you are driving on this trip, wouldn’t recommend you to go there to see the view. You can definitely stop by somewhere to get the better views.

Boat tour in Lugu Lake. it took around 1 hour to finish the trip. Water is very clean and clear, many birds were following us for food

another side of the Lake.
⚠️ warning
if you want to stay in the hotel near by the Lake, it is not necessary to book the Lake view rooms. You won’t get a nice view from room, pointless to waste money.

Lugu Lake, half in Yunnan and half in Sichuan. The driver said, we are in Sichuan now, then we can enter Yunnan again. It’s far from Lijiang around 5 hours in car with several scenic stops.

"God has given us a beautiful morning!"
My travel companion told me
volia.
Tourists are crowded into Lovers Beach and Rigg.
We drove to the lakeside of Xiaoyuba
to find such a quiet place
reed, boat, and free waterbird...
Youhu Lake, it is best to drive by yourself, free to move, want to stop and stop, time is also your own control. But if you don't drive or drive, you can also take a car tour in Penghu.
Now the price of the tour of the lakes in Penghu is basically 300 yuan a day. Whether it is Sichuan or Yunnan, the prices are unified. The driver can pick it up at the hotel and return it to the hotel after the end. One week around the lake, you can stop at the sights or park where you can park at any time according to your requirements. The whole circle can be played for about six or seven hours, and lunch can be found on the way.
The two chartered drivers we met were very good. You can also find the hotel inn to help the driver to tour the lake.
Attraction, in addition to a few places where you have to punch in, it is recommended to find a place where tourists are less likely to park, preferably away from the tour group.

Lijiang is so beautiful in winter!
Many people think Lijiang is most beautiful in July and August, but those who visit Lijiang often know that winter is the most beautiful and cost-effective time to visit.
In winter, the rainy season is over and the sky is clear. There is a special fashion called "sunbathing" in Lijiang. Sit on an old rattan chair in the courtyard of a guesthouse, with a cup of tea and a book, and do nothing but enjoy the warmth and leisure.
In winter, you can see the golden sunlight on the mountains almost every day, like a gift for us every morning. It is said that those who see the golden sunlight on the mountains will be lucky for a whole year, so don't miss it.
Winter is the best season to go birdwatching at Lashi Lake. Thousands of migratory birds fly from the north to bask in the sun on the lake during the day. Even though it is cold at night, they are reluctant to migrate south. Perhaps Lijiang is just as attractive to them.
Only after seeing the sunrise at Lugu Lake will you know what a picturesque place is. In the morning, the mist covers the entire lake, and fishing boats move slowly on the lake. Imagine how beautiful it is.
In winter, airfares and hotel prices are the lowest of the year. You can stay for a week in Lijiang during the peak season, but you can stay for half a month in winter. There are also fewer tourists, so you don't have to rush. It is really cost-effective.

Over 100 per person, Lugu Lake panoramic private hot spring hotel.
🏨Yueshi Chaixie Lugu Lake Pool Private Hot Spring Full Lake View Resort Hotel
📍No. 10, Lujiawan Village, Lugu Lake, Ninglang Yi Autonomous County
·
Located in Lujiawan, Lugu Lake, it is a demonstration area for the renovation of Lugu Lake Scenic Area. It is 80 meters away from the lake and has a special pedestrian path to the pier. The exterior of Chaixie continues the local characteristic style, with more intense colors, and more cleverly integrates the dreamy elements of blue, red, and green as the main colors, with the local characteristic brick red style as a supplement, which is extremely strange and dreamy. The rocking chairs, bonfire fireplaces, and medieval furniture in the public area are full of lazy atmosphere under the blue sky and lake view in the evening.
·
The hotel has a total of 14 rooms and 6 room types. Each room is equipped with an independent private hot spring pool, facing the lake view, with a first-line viewing angle, and it is easy to realize the beautiful vision of soaking in the hot spring while watching the lake view.
🛏The room has floor heating, down bedding, and King Koil mattress, so you can have a warm holiday even in the cold season. Fragrance, APPELLES toiletries, etc. will escort your sleep.

A Tranquil Journey: Exploring the Natural Beauty of Lugu Lake's Grass Sea
In the early morning, we drove to Lugu Lake in Yunnan, a serene and beautiful place hidden among the mountains. Lugu Lake is known as the 'Kingdom of Women in the East,' where the Mosuo people preserve their unique matriarchal culture. Our destination was the Grass Sea by the lake, a picturesque wetland.
When we arrived at the Grass Sea, the breathtaking scenery left us in awe. The vast lake surface was covered with green grass, like a green carpet spread over the water. The clear lake water reflected the blue sky and white clouds, with the surrounding peaks mirrored in the water, creating a natural watercolor painting. Wild birds occasionally flew over the lake, leisurely foraging in the Grass Sea.
We strolled along the wooden boardwalk of the Grass Sea, surrounded by the essence of nature. The wooden planks beneath our feet slightly vibrated with our steps, and the crisp sound of footsteps made us feel like we had entered a tranquil paradise. The air was fresh, filled with the fragrance of the wetland, making us feel relaxed and rejuvenated.
Along the way, we met an elderly Mosuo woman who warmly introduced us to the history and culture of the Grass Sea. She told us that the Grass Sea is a sacred place in the hearts of the locals, not only a beautiful natural landscape but also an important site for the daily life and rituals of the Mosuo people.
At sunset, we sat quietly by the lake, admiring the sunset. The afterglow of the setting sun dyed the Grass Sea golden, and the entire lake surface shimmered with enchanting light. Such beauty made us reluctant to leave, filling our hearts with awe and admiration for nature.
This trip to Lugu Lake's Grass Sea not only allowed us to appreciate the magnificent natural scenery but also to experience the rich local ethnic culture. This journey was full of surprises and wonderful memories that will forever remain in our hearts.

I can't believe some people still don't know how great it is to visit Lugu Lake in the off-season!
September to December is the off-season for tourism at Lugu Lake, China! It's also the best time of year to visit, as the rainy season is over and the weather is clear. You can see the morning mist and feed the seagulls!
The lake is a different shade of blue every day, and the clear weather, rippling water, and golden autumn leaves create a perfect autumn atmosphere! In short, my trip to Lugu Lake in November was totally worth it!
I also went to an orchard in the Sichuan part of Lugu Lake to pick apples. The highland sugar heart apples were so sweet, and the trees were full of red fruit. I could really feel the joy of the harvest.
Finally, I want to talk about the hotel I stayed at. It was the most comfortable two days of my trip. The hotel is halfway up the mountain, and the parking lot is on the road below. The butler can take you down there! The receptionist was very gentle and enthusiastic, and she even helped me take photos! The hotel facilities are also very good. They offer a pick-up and drop-off service, and a sweet soup at night. There are many beautiful corners in the hotel, and you can feel the owner's attention to detail.
Hotel: Lugu Lake Tingxia Island Hotel
Located in Puluo Village, it's very quiet and perfect for a relaxing vacation.

✅ Dry goods suggestions‼
💯 It takes at least two days to play in Lugu Lake. It takes 7 hours to and from Lijiang. A one-day tour can only be a quick tour, which will be very tiring.
💯 Don't go to the Mosuo family visit in Lugu Lake, it's just selling things inside, there's nothing to see.
💯 The direction of the Lugu Lake ring road depends on the direction of the sunlight. Looking at the lake in the same direction as the sun, the lake is the bluest and most beautiful, and the backlight is just white.
💯 It is recommended to choose accommodation in Daluoshui Village, which was developed early, and the food, accommodation and transportation are convenient.
💯 The morning fog on the lake is about 7:40-8:00. To watch the sunrise, choose Dashuiluo Pier; to watch the sunset, choose Langfang Pier, Goddess Bay, and Lover's Beach.
💯 There is a beautiful hiking route from Goddess Bay to Luowa Pier. It takes about two hours to hike to the filming location of .
💯 The lake water in Lugu Lake is very clear, and taking pictures on a pig trough boat is super photogenic.
💯 The lake is very quiet at night, and if you are lucky, you can see the starry sky.

As soon as we arrived at the door, they came to help us with our luggage. When we left, there were only two girls, and they still helped me move the big suitcase down. They also set up a special service group for us, and they were very enthusiastic to help us take pictures in the afternoon
The package includes an afternoon tea for two and a breakfast, which is very rich. We couldn't eat after dinner and lunch. It was really pleasant to enjoy it in front of the big floor-to-ceiling window
