Lugu Lake is truly beautiful~

Lugu Lake is located at the border between Sichuan and Yunnan, with 1/3 in Ninglang Yi Autonomous County of Lijiang, Yunnan, and the other 2/3 in Yanyuan County of Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan. 💙The waters of Lugu Lake are divided into 'Bright Sea' & 'Grass Sea' 🔹【Bright Sea】 It's a normal lake, also known as Bright Sea, said to be especially bright under the blue sky and white clouds. The visibility of the lake water can reach up to 12 meters 🔸Attractions include👇 1️⃣Lige Peninsula: The most famous peninsula of Lugu Lake, backed by the sacred mountain, surrounded by water on three sides 2️⃣Gem Goddess Mountain of Lugu Lake: The sacred mountain of the local Mosuo people, the highest peak in the vicinity, overlooking the panoramic view of Lugu Lake 3️⃣Luowa Peninsula, a very important dividing line, with Grass Sea on one side and Bright Sea on the other, also an excellent spot for watching the sunset and sunrise 4️⃣Dazu Lover's Beach 🔹【Grass Sea】 On the southeast side of Lugu Lake, due to the accumulation of silt over the years, the water depth has become shallow, with dense reeds growing, looking like a sea of grass from afar 🔸Attractions include👇 1️⃣Walking Marriage Bridge: The Mosuo people practice the 'walking marriage' custom of 'no marriage for men, no marriage for women', the bridge spans the Grass Sea, connecting villages on both sides, providing a passage for men and women to date 2️⃣Mosuo Folk Museum: The only private museum in China reflecting the customs of a matrilineal clan society 3️⃣Princess Island: The filming location for the first season of the variety show 'Dear Inn' 4️⃣Luowa Pier: Boat tours of the lake 5️⃣Goddess Bay: The best angle to watch the sunset and evening glow at Lugu Lake 💬Random Thoughts Personally tested, the scenery on the Yunnan side is more beautiful, and the scenic area is better planned The Sichuan side is still in a state of development, but the local customs are richer 🪧Route Recommendation ▫️Plan One: 2~3 days (leisurely version) Day One: First, circle the lake. There are 5 whole islands, 4 peninsulas, one long island, 14 bays, Dazu Village, Da and Xiao Luoshui Villages, Lige Village, and nearly twenty natural villages around Lugu Lake, with 85% of the attractions distributed along this lakeside route (excluding the central island). Day Two & Day Three: In-depth exploration of each attraction ▫️Plan Two: 1 day (essence version) Lige Viewing Platform→Luyuan Cliff→Libai Lover's Bay→Goddess Bay to watch the sunset 👍Best Season to Visit: May to October Every year from May to October, the surface of Lugu Lake blooms with a kind of three-petaled snow-white transparent little white flower, known as 'water caltrop' 🪧Route Choice Dali→Lijiang→Lugu Lake (190 kilometers, 4 hours) Chengdu→Xichang→Lugu Lake (258 kilometers, 5 hours) ➡️Travel Guide 🏡Accommodation: Langfang Village, located at the southernmost end of Lugu Lake, the last developed village. The accommodation here is relatively good, similar to that of Dali, both are high-end. The lakeside highway is behind the inn, and the lake is right in front of the inn, super suitable for those who want to 'be quiet' ⚠️Note: It is recommended to get off at the parking lot of the ticket purchase point when entering Lugu Lake from Yunnan, this point offers a panoramic view of Lugu Lake
