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.

From Dali to Lugu Lake, the journey is long, but the 85 yuan bus fare and the more than four hours of travel time are made worthwhile by the upcoming beautiful scenery. As you approach, the 70 yuan ticket fee is a small tribute to this paradise. 🚌🎫 During the trip, a bag of sunflower seeds, some snacks, and fruits are the best companions to pass the time.

Especially the misty beauty of the morning, which is refreshing and uplifting. 🏞 The hotel where I stayed has an endless lake view right outside the door, which made me instantly forget about Erhai Lake. The waffles and coffee by the sea during afternoon tea time are a new experience in my life. ☕ The facilities in the room, from the swing chair on the sea-view balcony to the bed on the second floor, to the projector and large bathtub in the living room, every detail shows the hotel's thoughtfulness. 🏠 The sofa by the window on the first floor and the large floor-to-ceiling windows in the corridor are great places for taking photos. And the two cats raised by the hotel add a touch of warmth to the trip. 📷🐱 During the Dragon Boat Festival at Lugu Lake, you can also feel the atmosphere of the traditional festival.

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!

Having visited Yunnan, one understands why it is known as the 'South of the Colorful Clouds', a paradise on earth

Having visited Yunnan, one understands why it is known as the 'South of the Colorful Clouds', a paradise on earth

China has many provinces, whose names are related to the mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas on the land, but only the clouds of Yunnan come from the sky. People use 'South of the Colorful Clouds' to describe this realm. The complex monsoon alternations bring the most colorful changes to the clouds wandering over the plateau. In the northwest of Yunnan, the coming and going of clouds shape 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. Ancient architecture and the pure blue sky reflect each other. Strolling by 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 heart🍃 - Lugu Lake🌊 Yunnan's clouds not only float in the sky but also in the water. If you like quietness, you can come to Lugu Lake, face the water, watch the white clouds pass by, watch time slip away. The pure lake seems to be nature's most perfect palette, with the reflection of the water and the mountains complementing each other. 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 different reasons to fall in love with it. Wooden buildings and stone paths, flowing water and fresh flowers, but one combination is the favorite of many, which is the old town and Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Standing at the foot of the snow mountain, time seems to stand still, making you feel peace and happiness🌙 - Kunming✨ The sea of flowers in the Spring City, where the flowers bloom in a riot of colors, each with its own story. Every corner has the warm smiles of people. Here, you will understand the brilliance of life🌺 - Shangri-La⛰️ Shangri-La, originally from the imagination of a Western writer over 80 years ago, in his depiction, there is an eternal land of peace and tranquility among the mountains and ridges in the East. That plateau seems to be the staircase to heaven. The peaks of the snow mountains are shrouded in mist, and the people here, with their Buddhist faith, have hearts 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 life. If you like it here, then while the time is right, take a trip to Yunnan Turn the 'place you long to visit' into the 'place you have been'✌️

【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'.

Lugu Lake

Lugu Lake | "Take it easy and heed the advice, keep singing and walking, never stop. What is the true meaning of travel? I believe the answer varies with each journey. It's about learning to embrace oneself under the wondrous power of nature, discovering the secrets hidden in different customs and ways of life, or finding and recognizing another self in an object or a space... A long trip can offer us so much: diverse landscapes, cultures; interesting people we meet along the way, who teach us to view the world from different perspectives. This trip to Lugu Lake is just like that... Take it easy, take it slow. I think what the shopkeepers really want to tell us is that life is a journey that can't be paused, but we can tread to the tune of songs, admiring the scenery of the journey and savoring the scenery of life, moving forward slowly. Lugu Lake Slow Life·In the Shadow of Pines Located in Puluo Village within the Lugu Lake scenic area, you need to buy a ticket to enter. The drive from Lijiang takes about 3.5 hours, and you can buy bus tickets online. The hotel prices are around 1.5k, and I heard from the shopkeeper that it's about 2.5k during the peak season. There's a parking lot for those who drive themselves, and for those who don't, the shopkeepers will arrange transportation, so there's no need to worry too much about whether to drive or not. Each room faces Lugu Lake directly, and because the hotel is on a mountain, the lake view is wider and more expansive than what you'd see from the lakeside, which I personally find more beautiful. The rooms have underfloor heating, so you can wear beautiful dresses for photos without feeling cold. The space is wonderfully designed, with many corners that are great for taking pictures. The staff are very friendly and attentive, providing guests with enough 'personal space.' If time allows, it's worth staying for several nights.
