[2025 Ninglang Restaurant] Travel Guide for PIN WEI Lugu Lake Restaurant (Updated Apr)

Lugu Lake is breathtakingly beautiful 😭 Here's my experience and tips Plus a recommendation for an amazing local restaurant 👍🏻 🚗Transportation From Lijiang, it's a 4-5 hour bus ride. The scenery along the way is beautiful, but the mountain roads are winding. If you get carsick easily, remember to bring motion sickness medicine. You can also choose shared rides, which are more convenient but slightly more expensive. 🏞Must-visit Spots Lige Peninsula: The iconic spot of Lugu Lake, it looks like a heart embedded in the lake. Every photo you take here turns out amazing. Recommend going early in the morning when there are fewer people and the scenery is at its best. 🌿Grass Sea & Walking Marriage Bridge: The Grass Sea is a vast expanse of green, while the Walking Marriage Bridge is both romantic and historic. Take a stroll along the bridge to experience the romance of the Mosuo people. Remember: walk alone, not in pairs, and don't look back when you're halfway across! 🌈Goddess Bay: Perfect spot for watching the sunset 🌄 In the evening, sit by the lake and watch the sun slowly set, its afterglow spreading across the water - it's incredibly therapeutic. 🍱Must-try Food Lugu Lake's cuisine combines Mosuo and Yi ethnic flavors Every bite is a unique experience! Recommended - Taste of Lugu Lake · Ethnic Specialty Restaurant 🌟 📍Located right by the lake in Daluoshui Village, perfect location. After dinner, you can take a walk by the lake to help digestion~ 🍽Recommended Specialties: ✅Cold Watercress Salad ✅Wild Mushroom Soup ✅Dingbuer Jiake (Yak Meat in Copper Pot 🥩) 💰Though it's near a tourist spot, the price is surprisingly reasonable! You can have a satisfying meal for just 80-100 yuan per person, and the taste is exceptional. 💡Travel Tips: 1. Lugu Lake is at high altitude with strong UV rays. Make sure to protect yourself from the sun - hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen are all must-haves! 2. There's a big temperature difference between morning and evening, so remember to bring a warm jacket.

Lugu Lake is truly a haunting place! The lake is blue and the sky is clear. Time slows down here. 🚗Transportation Guide You can take a special bus from Lijiang to Lugu Lake, the journey takes about 3 hours, and tickets can be booked online in advance. You can also take a bus from Lijiang Bus Station, which takes 4-5 hours. You can buy tickets in advance on the official website of the bus station or a third-party platform. We drove from Lijiang and took the Lining Highway instead of the highway. When the weather is clear, the Lining Eighteen Bends is relatively easy to drive. You can see the Jinsha River along the way. 🚙 It is recommended to rent a car to go around the lake. You can stop at any time to enjoy the scenery. If you want convenience, you can choose the bus around the lake, which costs 50-80 yuan per person, but the stops are fixed. In the morning, take a pig trough boat to tour the lake: arrive at the dock around 7:40. If you come before April, remember to buy a bag of bread to feed the seagulls and feel the gentleness of the lake water up close. I asked several docks, and they all charged 200 for boat release. Dropping off the boat was too expensive so I didn't choose that. Finally I chose Pluo and bargained down the price to 220. But unfortunately, the sky was sunny that day, but it was covered with dark clouds an hour before sunrise, and it cleared up as soon as I got ashore. So I didn't see the sunrise. I'm sorry. Go back to the hotel for breakfast and start the tour around the lake 📍Lige Peninsula: The most beautiful spot of Lugu Lake. Take a walk along the peninsula, where the lake bay and the mountains complement each other. Any photo you take will be a blockbuster! 📍Da Luoshui Village: Developed early and with complete facilities. Sitting by the lake in the evening, watching the afterglow of the sunset on the lake, the rippling water is so beautiful that it leaves you speechless. 📍Goddess Gemu Mountain: Take the cable car up the mountain and you can see the entire Lugu Lake. The scenery is super stunning. There are also mysterious caves on the mountain to explore. 📍Sea of ​​Grass: It is emerald green in spring and summer, golden in autumn and winter, and the Marriage Bridge spans across it, which is very atmospheric for taking photos. 🍲Taste Lugu Lake Steam Stone Pot Fish When you come to Lugu Lake, you must try the steamed stone pot fish! I chose "Taste Lugu Lake" and ordered the claw fish 🐟 The stone pot is heated evenly to retain the freshness of the fish to the greatest extent. The waiter puts the fish, delicious mushrooms and vegetables into the stone pot, then pours in the secret soup base and covers the pot with a straw hat lid. After steaming, the aroma hits your nose instantly as soon as you open the lid. The fish meat is tender and smooth, melts in your mouth, and the fish soup is amazingly rich! It is so picturesque to enjoy the scenery of Lugu Lake while tasting delicious food! #Lugu Lake #Lugu Lake Around the Lake #Food Recommendations #Travel Tips

The biggest worry in Lugu Lake is what to eat Finally I ate authentic ethnic specialties 🥢I didn’t go wrong with the blind spots of the dishes! Potato and red rice fried rice, stir-fried black pork, and highland barley millet cakes are all delicious~ 🥢Crazy pepper and spicy fish is the first choice! We use sweet-scented osmanthus fish, which is served only when the fish fillets are ready. It is cooked after a little blanching. It is delicious and appetizing when paired with the store’s secret dipping sauce! The private room in the store is very suitable for family outings. The environment is clean and comfortable. You can sit by the window to enjoy the mountain view. The fruit wine in the store is also delicious. I bought six bottles to take away. There are also sweet and crispy dried apples. You can also buy two packs~
