My friend called me crazy for flying all the way to Yunnan just for the view from this window
Start the new year with a trip
Have you all thought about where to go for the Spring Festival?
Let me share with you a great Spring Festival destination that's not crowded, comfortable, and has beautiful scenery
This place is Lugu Lake, all because of a window
I went to a place
This must be the atmosphere that everyone likes, right? Suitable for daydreaming all day long. My favorite during the three days at Lugu Lake was the Lugu Lake Anxia, where the landlady is incredibly beautiful
The view outside the window is an unbeatable lake view

I can't believe I captured a scene from a movie at Lugu Lake.
Lugu Lake in autumn is truly a paradise on earth.
Avoid the crowds and enjoy Lugu Lake all to yourself.

💎 When I first saw Lugu Lake, I was truly amazed by its beauty 😍.
The crystal-clear lake water 💧 sparkles like a gem in the sunlight, bringing the word "shimmering" to life.
🛶 Walking along the lake, a gentle breeze caresses your cheeks, and the tranquility and comfort are beyond words.
The gentle ripples on the lake create a stunning picture 🖼️.
I was lucky to see Lugu Lake on a sunny day, and taking photos with the autumn reeds in the foreground was amazing.
-
🌸 When the Gesang flowers bloom by the lake, the colorful flowers and the blue lake create a perfect backdrop for photos 📷.
Lugu Lake, with its minimal commercial atmosphere, allows you to fully enjoy the tranquility and beauty of nature. Whether you're strolling by the lake or daydreaming on the balcony of a guesthouse, your mind will be completely relaxed 😌.
💕 Leaving Lugu Lake is harder than a breakup.

The beauty of Lugu Lake|Everything is real
|Everything is real.🚗
Setting off from Lijiang to Lugu Lake, a 4-hour drive, all the scenery along the way is so beautiful that it seems unreal, yet when you can actually touch it, it becomes real. The mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas are all gifts from nature⛰️
🏠
For our stay, we chose the 'Old Stories•Mountain and Sea Affairs' guesthouse, located halfway up the hill, facing the Goddess Mountain of Lugu Lake⛰️Each room has an excellent view, far from the hustle and bustle of the city, with every sight a feast for the eyes. The rammed earth wall technique of the guesthouse and the detailed decorations in the rooms all add points to this trip.
🕊
We got up early to experience the local specialty of 'waterborne poplar flowers', sitting on a raft to appreciate the spectacle of 'the rosy clouds and solitary ducks flying together, the autumn waters merging with the sky into one color', and couldn't help but marvel at it. The raft slowly travels on the lake surface, hands touching the crystal-clear water, and under the rendering of camera art, it's like entering another animated world.
🎐
Lugu Lake is inhabited by the local Mosuo people, who have lived for generations in this corner bestowed by nature. Since there are no other means of transportation, it is necessary to contact local drivers in advance to travel around the lake. At every scenic spot, you can stop to admire, take a deep breath, and inhale the oxygen from nature, using your eyes more to feel this magical world

In addition to circumambulating the lake during your summer getaway 🧳, you can also luxuriate in the serene beauty of Lugu Lake.
Bathed in the ethereal hue of Yunshan wind, one can't help but engage in a silent dialogue with the mountains, the lake, and the sky. This is the enchanting Lugu Lake.
Here, one can marvel at the captivating and majestic natural scenery, delve into the ancient and mysterious Mosuo culture, and bask in the relaxing holiday atmosphere. During my two-day stay at Lugu Lake, I spent one day driving around the lake and another day lounging in a homestay, letting my mind wander.
Gazing out of the window - nature's own picture frame - I found myself daydreaming about the Goddess Mountain across the lake, indulging in fantasies I dare not entertain amidst the hustle and bustle of work. Each window seemed to play its own movie of nature's grandeur.
Meanwhile, the children were happily engaged in the garden, admiring flowers, petting cats, and playing hide-and-seek. The garden also offered a delightful French-style afternoon tea, maintaining its romantic charm. As dusk fell, one could lie on the room's terrace, watching the sunset fade into the night.
When night fell, a warm fire could be lit, providing a cozy setting for everyone to chat and reminisce. After drinking the heartwarming milk brought to them, the children would take a bath and fall into a deep sleep.
Awaiting us tomorrow is a terrace filled with lake views and mountain breezes. With a comfortable temperature of 20 degrees, it's the perfect place to lie under a blanket and simply exist. Reminiscing about the mountains and the sea, this is the story of our journey.

At long last, I have checked in at the "Narrative of Mountains and Seas" hotel, a distinguished establishment that has earned a place on the 2023 Black Truffle Award's China Vacation List and the Bund Design Hotel Award. Despite visiting Lugu Lake during the rainy season, the vibrant hydrangeas of the hotel bloom beautifully after the rain, offering a stunning view of the verdant mountains and fields of Lugu Lake.
Strolling along the lakeside after the rain, I was captivated by the pristine natural landscape. It was as if I was immersed in a magnificent painting of nature, utterly entrancing.

Sitting by the fire and listening to the crackling sounds, zoning out is the most relaxing moment in this winter
⭐️ Escaping the city to a distant place to be alone with oneself. "This time, I also chose to go to Lugu Lake during the off-season, without rushing or chasing tourist spots. Simply feeling the winter of Lugu Lake. The off-season Lugu Lake is less crowded and more serene and peaceful, staying at the Xujiumountainsea.
⭐️ In the morning, you can see the misty lake from the room window, with the warm morning light shining on the distant Gemu Goddess Mountain. The azure lake water is like a painting, and as the sky gets darker, a fireplace is lit in the room. Sitting by the side and listening to the crackling sounds, zoning out is the most relaxing moment in this winter.
⭐️ The lake is shimmering with light, and the pig trough boats shuttle back and forth. The clouds and mist over the mountains and lake are like a fairyland. I really don't know how to describe her beauty, promise me you must visit in person to truly experience it.
⭐️ Staying at ~Lugu Lake Xujiumountainsea, small and beautiful, every window is like a frame from a movie. Xujiumountainsea is located on the southern shore of Lugu Lake, alone in the Wolong Valley, by the mountains and water, overlooking the Gemu Goddess Mountain, village by the water, islands in the heart of the lake, and the Fan Yin temples.

The misty clouds weave around the mountain lake, creating a scene akin to a fairyland | Lugu Lake Memory·Shanhai Shi Hotel
⭐️ 'Memory·Shanhai Shi' Hotel embodies the 'ordinary' and 'everyday', yet it is this 'ordinary' and 'everyday' that stirs our purest emotions. The designer guides us into a real-life setting in an almost bland and tasteless manner, introducing a simple and restrained unexpected encounter into our lives: after parking, guests walk along a sloped path to enter the hotel's outdoor space surrounded by woods. Here, the 'Mosuo-style' log cabins form a 'forest inn' hotel, facing Lugu Lake and backed by pine forests, with the distant Gemu Goddess Mountain faintly visible, exuding an ethereal charm that combines people, nature, and imagination.
⭐️ At 'Memory·Shanhai Shi', the designer harbors a wish: to forsake the superficial satisfaction of pure 'tourism' and focus on 'settling down', allowing the heart to calm and the body to 'dwell' and 'nest' in the 'everyday', to appreciate the plain 'poetry' within the familiar 'everyday', and to let everything extend and spread within a 'hermit-like' mood. The bookshelves made of old wood with childhood patina memories and the warm books, the slightly sunken and enveloping sofas, the messy and soft beds provide a casual and secure feeling. The pine wood crackles in the fireplace, fending off the chill and desolation by the lake.

There's the charming and majestic natural scenery
The ancient and mysterious Mosuo culture
And a comfortable and relaxing vacation atmosphere

I stayed at Lugu Lake for over a week and found these must-stay hotels
Everyone says that Lugu Lake in Yunnan is beautiful, but I didn't expect it to be so stunning.
Lugu Lake is a highland lake shared by Yunnan and Sichuan. Although Sichuan also has a large area, most people still focus on the Yunnan side when traveling to Lugu Lake.
There are many hotels of various sizes around Lugu Lake, including upscale B&Bs and budget hostels. However, if you have a sufficient budget when visiting Lugu Lake, I would still recommend choosing some of the nicer B&Bs.
I stayed at Lugu Lake for a week and stayed in four different B&Bs, each with its own characteristics. I'm sharing them here for those who might need a reference.
1⃣️ An & Resort Hotel (Pictures 1, 2)
Located in Daluoshui Village, this is a frontline lakeside hotel, right at the doorstep of Lugu Lake. The room's balcony is not only unobstructed for viewing the scenery but also allows you to feed seagulls from the balcony.
Feature: Frontline lake view, you can watch the sunrise from the balcony, and each room has a mini washing machine which is very convenient.
2⃣️ Xujiu·Shanhai Shi (Pictures 3, 4)
I absolutely love the huge window in the room, offering an unobstructed view of the entire Gemu Goddess Mountain. The floor-to-ceiling windows in the lobby restaurant on the first floor are also a superb spot for taking pictures; every shot is like a masterpiece. The hotel's own restaurant tastes great and is worth a try.
3⃣️ Qie Man·Ruying Song Half-Mountain Hotel (Pictures 5, 6)
A hotel where Hu Ge has stayed, located at the top of the hill. It's tiring to walk up, but the hotel has a car that can shuttle from the parking lot below to the hotel. The scenery is absolutely amazing. The piano in the hotel lobby is very photogenic, especially during sunset. Behind the hotel, there is a bird's nest-style viewing platform in the pine forest.
4⃣️ Lugu Lake Qiushan (Pictures 7, 8)
The rooms are super big. Although it's not a lakeside hotel, the view in front is completely unobstructed, and the scenery is very good. Moreover, it's a short walk to the Langfang Pier. The Qiushan Lake View Cafe on the first floor of the hotel is very well decorated, with great taste and aesthetics.
There are many other excellent hotels and B&Bs around Lugu Lake. The above B&Bs are based on my own experience, and prices range from 1000+ to 3000, so you can choose according to your budget and preferences.

Lugu Lake Scenic Ceiling Hotel | Nestled by the lake under the Goddess Mountain
Nestled by the lake under the Goddess Mountain.
On the southern shore of Lugu Lake
Enjoying the depth and tranquility of the canyon
Surrounded by dense forests on three sides
Like a natural green barrier
Isolating the hustle and bustle of the world
Quietly gazing at the sparkling waves of the lake
Embracing every inch of land, every breeze, every drop of water
Dancing with the mountains, singing with the wilderness
Whispering with the forest, gazing at the starry sky
Here, drawing nourishment from nature
Feeling its rhythm
Understanding its wisdom
Coexisting with it
Enjoying this selfless nourishment from nature

Every window, every room
Is like a gallery of nature
Capturing the splendid colors of the seasons
And the magnificent scenery of the lake and mountains
The guest rooms' oversized 270° panoramic windows
Cleverly bring the landscape indoors
Lying on the soft and comfortable bed
Feels like floating above the beautiful mountain and lake scenery
Feeling the gentle embrace of nature
On a tranquil night
Surrounded by the gentle breeze and the sound of rippling lake water
Immersed in sweet dreams

What is the experience of bathing and watching the sunrise on the Golden Mountain?
Waking up at eight in the morning, you can bathe while watching the sunrise on the Golden Mountain!
Living here is truly blissful. Pulling back the curtains, the first rays of sunlight at seven or eight o'clock shine through the window, making the Gemu Goddess Mountain sacred, beautiful, and romantic under the sunlight. This is indeed one of the most beautiful hotels I have stayed in this year!
After all the ships have sailed past, it's time to reminisce. The hotel's design is wild luxury blended with nature. The fireplace in the lobby creates a warm atmosphere of old friends catching up. Sitting in front of the fireplace, looking at the mountains and lakes while chatting and sipping tea, reminds me of Li Bai's poem 'Talking about the affairs of mountains and seas, as if the forests and valleys exist.' The floor-to-ceiling window view is like living in a painting, making me want to stay here for a long time.
🛏️Room Type: I stayed in the 'Mountain and Sea·Own Time·Independent Garden Lake View Suite', and I was fortunate to have a small courtyard with a view of the Gemu Goddess Mountain, with the charm of the wild South of France. The room has a French raw wood style, a real fireplace, and underfloor heating throughout. With Dyson hairdryer and humidifier, first-class bathroom facilities, and Acqua di Parma toiletries, they have taken care of every detail and comfort to the extreme.
🍛Dining: For breakfast, there are authentic Yunnan rice noodles, as well as afternoon tea and a la carte. In the evening, you can also enjoy wine around the fireplace, truly living every morning and evening, singing with wine, and embracing the beauty of Lugu Lake.

Outside the window is not an oil painting, but the autumn of Lugu Lake
Finally, I made it to the autumn of Lugu Lake
I went for a rendezvous between mountains and seas⛰️🌊
The reeds🌾 are blooming just right, and the grass🌱 is still green
Autumn is really a good season❗️
•
Sitting by the window🪟, I think of many adjectives
I want to speak them out, but I find they are so pale
Looking through the swaying reeds🌾
It's the pure and untainted blue of Lugu Lake
Reflecting the mysterious face of the Gemu Goddess Mountain⛰️
No wonder there are no decorative paintings🖼️ inside the room
What could be more beautiful than this naturally depicted artwork🎨
At this moment
I just want to sit quietly by the window
Not thinking about anything, letting myself completely indulge in the scenery
•
The sky gradually darkens, and the air starts to get a little cool
Returning to the room, I light a bunch of stove fire🔥 and play some music🎵
Lying in the bathtub
I turn my head and the painting has changed again
Now, Lugu Lake is a deep blue, even more mysterious
The night with its cinematic🎬 atmosphere is so enchanting

I like to sit on the chairs on the lawn or the sofa by the window in the room, quietly watching the beautiful scenery outside, I who originally planned to go around, suddenly didn't want to go anywhere, I feel that just sitting like this, brewing a cup of hot tea, reading a novel, taking some beautiful pictures and short videos, posting on my moments, and then staring at the green lake and the sunshine for an afternoon, it's also very good.
The best thing about the hotel is the thoughtful butler service, the butler will contact me about the check-in matters 2 days in advance, and set up a small group, with 5 staff members to connect with me, if there is any problem, I can directly send a WeChat message to them.
