Introduction
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The beauty of the sunrise over Lugu Lake lies in the interweaving and changes between light and shadow. When the first ray of sunlight penetrates the clouds and shines on the lake, the entire lake surface seems to be coated with a layer of gold, sparkling and beautiful. As one of the boundaries of Lugu Lake, Luowa Peninsula is an ideal place to watch the sunrise. Here, tourists can feel the shock and beauty of the moment when the sun shines on the lake at close range. Rig Observation Deck is also a good place to watch the sunrise over Lugu Lake. Standing on the observation deck, you can overlook the beauty of the entire Lugu Lake and take in the magnificent sunrise.

【Travel】Poetic Lugu Lake, every glance is a landscape oil painting

【Travel】Poetic Lugu Lake, every glance is a landscape oil painting

Sorting through photos, I came across the trip to Yunnan from late spring to early summer last year. The poetic mountains and lakes, the romantic Sichuan-Yunnan culture, once again captivated me. The most impressive was undoubtedly Lugu Lake, like a sapphire fallen into a fairyland. In the refreshing morning, a few people faced the warm sun on a pig trough boat, under the local ballads sung by the paddling sister at the bow, lazily and comfortably gazing at the scenery, scooping up the lake water, every glance seemed like a landscape oil painting. The fiery sunset around the lake in the evening, the ancient and unique stories of the Mosuo people, and the bonfire party, are all beyond words and evoke an endless longing. Even now, a year later, the memory of about a hundred strangers from all over the country dancing around the bonfire is still fresh. It reminds me of a phrase I once read online: If one must wander alone, let it be to Lugu Lake. I wholeheartedly agree! There is no place more suitable than Lugu Lake, because it embodies the essence of 'poetry and distance'.

Daluoshui Village is a great place to watch the sunrise, so don't miss it!

Daluoshui Village is a great place to watch the sunrise, so don't miss it!

(1) Daluoshui Village is the best place to stay and eat in the Lugu Lake Scenic Area. There are many accommodation options, and you can watch the sunrise, but not the sunset. (2) Daluoshui Village is a Mosuo village on the banks of Lugu Lake. It is divided into two parts: Shangluoshui and Xiaoluoshui, which are easy to distinguish by the age of the houses. This is an ancient village with a long history, and it is also a tourist village. The village is full of inns, shops, and bars. The complete tourist facilities and thoughtful service will make you forget that you are on a plateau, on top of a mountain. The wooden houses are the traditional dwellings of the Mosuo people and a unique sight of Lugu Lake. The houses form courtyards of various sizes. They are built entirely of wood, without a single nail, brick, or tile. The walls are made of stacked wood, the roofs are covered with wooden planks, and the windows are wooden. They are warm in winter and cool in summer. Some of the ancient wooden houses have been passed down for hundreds of years. The inn we stayed in was unique, with antique decorations, old murals, yellowed postcards, a slowly burning fire pit, and dim lighting. The whole inn was filled with a strong Mosuo flavor. It was a strange environment, yet familiar in that corner. It was as if I had been there before. Daluoshui Village is close to the lake. The water is clear and blue, and the mountains are green and rolling. The mountains and water are connected to the village, and the lake and mountains are the backdrop of Daluoshui Village. There are willows by the lake and wooden boats on the small paths. The pig trough boats sway gently on the lake. In the morning and evening, the glow of the sun spreads over the lake and the village. The inn is by the lake, with an unobstructed sunroom standing by the lake. When you open the curtains, the stars fill the sky, and the hazy moonlight is like a pillow. You can walk along the tide, enjoy the lake view, chat with the Mosuo people about the story of "Asha and Azhu," listen to the melodious sound of the hulusi in the bar, find a table by the window, and savor the taste of Lugu Lake sunshine and delicious fish soup.

Yunnan Lugu Lake 2 days and 1 night, I prefer it more than Erhai Lake

Yunnan Lugu Lake 2 days and 1 night, I prefer it more than Erhai Lake

Lugu Lake, formerly known as Ledehai and Lukuhu, in the Naxi Mosuo language, 'Lu' means mountain valley, and 'Gu' means inside, which means the lake in the mountain valley. It is the third largest deep-water lake in China, half of which is in Yunnan and the other half in Sichuan. The surrounding area is mainly inhabited by Mosuo, Yi and Pumi people. Accommodation: Qihai Tingfeng Chain Inn The location of the inn is very good, at the Daluoshui Pier, which should be the busiest place in Lugu Lake. You can take a boat out of the door, or you can quietly watch Lugu Lake on the balcony. The room facilities are not new, but clean and tidy. There are fruits and Tremella soup delivered every day. When you are tired, you can have a tea in the lobby. There is a warm front desk brother to chat with you and talk about local customs. The only drawback is that breakfast is not provided. Itinerary: 1. Take a pig trough boat from Daluoshui Pier to Liwubi Island. The boat is divided into 50 yuan/person and 80 yuan/person. The 80 yuan/person will go around Liwubi Island and see more scenery. There is no scenery, only a temple, which can be visited in about 10 minutes. tips: If you don't take a pig trough boat, you can also take pictures on the boat. There are many piers in Lugu Lake, all of which can take boats. You can choose different routes. In autumn, you can shuttle in the golden reeds in the grass sea by boat. In summer, the water hyacinth is in full bloom, and you can take the flower sea route. 2. Lugu Lake Ring Lake: Daluoshui-Walking Marriage Bridge-Sichuan Lover Beach-Luyuanya-Rige Viewing Platform-Lover Beach-Daluoshui Walking Marriage Bridge: It was also called Grass Sea Bridge before. It is said to be a dating place for Mosuo men and women. Although the current grass sea is withered and yellow, it is not suitable for boating, but it is still good for taking pictures! Lover Beach: Divided into Yunnan and Sichuan territories, each has a Lover Beach, the scenery is similar, there are many people, and the scenery is average. Luyuanya: There are many prayer flags, the view is wide, and it is very suitable for taking pictures. Unfortunately, it rained at that time, so I could only check in quickly. Rige Peninsula: Rige is the most beautiful and essence part of Lugu Lake. You can see the panoramic view of Rige from the Rige Viewing Platform. It's really worth its name!

A Tranquil Journey: Exploring the Natural Beauty of Lugu Lake's Grass Sea
11月好去處2024

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.

【Travel】Poetic Lugu Lake, every glance is a landscape oil painting

The most impressive is undoubtedly Lugu Lake, like a sapphire scattered in a fairyland. In the refreshing morning, a few people face the warm sun and take a pig trough boat. Under the local ballads sung by the paddling sister at the bow, they lazily and leisurely watch the scenery and scoop up the lake water, every glance seems to be a landscape oil painting. In the evening, the fiery sunset around the lake, the ancient and unique stories of the Mosuo people, and the bonfire party are indescribable and evoke an endless yearning. Even now, a year later, the memory of about a hundred strangers from all over the country dancing around the bonfire is still fresh in my mind. It reminds me of a phrase I once saw online: If one must wander alone, then let it be to Lugu Lake. I wholeheartedly agree! There is no place more suitable than Lugu Lake, because it embodies the essence of 'poetry and distance'.

I was attracted by these two dogs at Lugu Lake.

I was attracted by these two dogs at Lugu Lake.

📍Located at Mosuo Specialty Cuisine Wild Mushroom Hot Pot (Daluoshui Branch) I was attracted by these two cute Akita dogs at first sight. They looked so relaxed and comfortable. No wonder they say that the environment shapes the people, even the dogs are so elegant! The owner told me that this is a private kitchen specializing in Mosuo cuisine. I had never heard of the Mosuo people before, so I learned something new. The restaurant was full of life, so I decided to give it a try. 🦐 Shrimp rolls, 🍄 Mushrooms with pork belly, 🥬 Seasonal vegetables (Oh! I didn't expect the shrimp to be so plump and juicy. They went perfectly with the rolls. Delicious! The Mosuo pork belly was fatty but not greasy, and the taste lingered in my mouth!) ☺️: The owner asked us about our dining experience and if we had any suggestions for improvement. I really appreciated this. This private kitchen is full of love and truly puts its heart into its food.
