Lugu Lake is a strange place for many friends, but it has long been known for its name. The mountains and rivers here are full of the beauty of nature, with fresh air and beautiful environment. Let's briefly introduce go on road trip of Lugu Lake.
1. Where is Lugu Lake
Lugu Lake, formerly known as Lugu Haizi, also known as Zuosuohai, also known as Lianghai, is located between Yanyuan County of Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture in Sichuan Province and Ninglang Yi Autonomous County of Lijiang City in Yunnan Province. The lake is about 269.75 meters above sea level and covers an area of 48.45 square kilometers. The residents around the lake are mainly Mosuo people, but there are also some Naxi people. Mosuo people still retain the matriarchal clan marriage system. The unique "Axia" marriage, natural and primitive folk customs and beautiful natural scenery have given this ancient land a mysterious and beautiful color, and it is called "the magical oriental daughter country".

It is 68 kilometers around the lake, with accommodation and scenic spots along the way. If you want to catch a bus to the local area, you need to transfer to local transportation.
1. The bus from Xichang to Lugu Lake can only get off at Lugu Lake Town Bus Station. Entering Lugu Lake Scenic Area, many local van masters will come to pick up people by bus.

Generally go to Caohai 5 yuan/person, and go to other places for 3-4 yuan/person.

IV. Introduction of scenic spots in Lugu Lake
Lugu Lake is 68 kilometers around the lake, which can be said to be full of beautiful scenery. I won't introduce them here, but focus on what everyone knows and what everyone doesn't know.
1. Lugu Lake Panoramic Observation Deck
From Lijiang to Lugu Lake, you just entered an observation deck at the ticket gate of Lugu Lake Yunnan Scenic Area, and you can see the panoramic view of Lugu Lake. It is recommended. Friends from Sichuan can get a beautiful photo of their visit here if they have the chance.
1. observation deck of drilling rig peninsula
Lugu Lake is world-famous. Maybe this viewing platform has a lot of work. If you search for Lugu Lake on the Internet, you may see the most pictures. It's located at Lake Rige in Yunnan.
3. The best place to watch the sunset in Goddess Bay
Goddess Bay is called Zhaojiawan, which is on the branch line of the highway around the lake. Many tourists have not arrived yet. This is the most beautiful bay in Lugu Lake and the best destination for watching the sunset in Lugu Lake. In Sichuan, there are signs on the road around the lake. What about you?
4. Lugu Lake Private Pedestrian Plank
There is no road from Luowa Wharf in Sichuan to Goddess Bay. In 216, the Sichuan Provincial Scenic Area Administration built a walking plank road with a panoramic view of about 6 kilometers and a walking time of 2-3 hours. Let me show you the private bay of Lugu Lake.
5. Take the wedding bridge to Caohai.
With Caohai, Lugu Lake is clear today, and Caohai is an important ecological balance system of Lugu Lake.
There is an ancient bridge (now renovated) on the Caohai River, where the original Mosuo people met, also known as the "best magpie bridge in the world".
V. Lugu Lake Accommodation Recommendation
It says that Lugu Lake is 68 kilometers around the lake, and there are accommodations in every place. Every place has high, medium and low standards. You can only decide to live in a village according to how you want to play in Lugu Lake. Here are some of my favorite villages and personal reasons.
1. Qifang Village: a newly developed village in Lugu Lake, Yunnan. The accommodation here is better, similar to Dali, and relatively high-end. The road around the lake is behind the inn, and the courtyard and lake are in front of the inn, which is more suitable for people like me who want to be "quiet".
2. Li Ge and Daluoshui Village: Lugu Lake is the earliest developed area and the two most prosperous places now. Bars and restaurants are not bad. Those who like to be lively can recommend these two places.
3. Dazu village: a place where Sichuan lake view rooms are concentrated, with high cost performance, restaurants and bars. It is also a village with good accommodation conditions in Sichuan.
4. Caohai Coast: This is the primitive village of traditional Mosuo architecture. The front is beautiful grass and sea scenery, and the back is Mosuo square wood. If you like cultural travel, this is a good choice.
VI. How to play in Lugu Lake
It is 68 kilometers around the lake. If you are not driving by car, how to play this is really a headache.
Around the lake
1. Cycling: Every village rents bicycles and battery cars, and the rent varies from 3 to 2 yuan. If you ride a bike, you must pay attention to safety. Although there are not many cars in Lugu Lake, they are all mountain roads with many uphill and downhill roads. You must ride slowly. I saw many friends being thrown in Lugu Lake.
2. Charter: If you want to charter or carpool around the lake, ask them at the front desk of the inn, and each inn will help you contact. Generally, carpooling is in 5 yuan/person, and chartered car is in 3 yuan/circle.
3. sightseeing bus: In 15 years, the Sichuan Provincial Scenic Area Administration opened a bus around Lugu Lake, with a tour of 3 yuan/person. The local tour guide of Lugu Lake explained the past life of Lugu Lake to you. But public transportation is not like public transportation in the city, so it is now in a tepid state. But I've been there many times, and I just think it's worthwhile to explain the culture of Lugu Lake to a commentator. So I developed a route from Lijiang to Lugu Lake. In Lugu Lake, I also talked about their explanations to the guests. Please refer to my products below.
Entertainment
1. Submarine
When there was no road on the original Luhu Road, Pigboat was the only means of transportation. Take a pig boat to swim the clear lake of Lugu Lake and look down at the crystal clear lake. Maybe you will silently sigh the water quality of the city.
2. bonfire party
it seems that every scenic spot will have such entertainment activities, and Lugu Lake has indeed been circulating such activities. Indigenous people will hold such activities on a regular basis. If a man and a woman ask their favorite person to dance at a bonfire party and hold hands three times, they will agree to make friends.
Tip: There is a saying about marriage in Lugu Lake that you can leave if you want, just like the red light district in the city. These are all rumors. The married men and women in Lugu Lake are based on certain basic love.
Seven, Lugu Lake food recommendation
Because every time I go to Lugu Lake, I am stopped by two places, and I have never eaten anywhere else in Sichuan. So I recommend my two favorite foods.
1. I won't comment on the "Fish Restaurant" located in Dazu Village, Lugu Lake. See what netizens say: the first time I come to the scenic spot is to open the comments and see the previous results of the majority of netizens. The evaluation of the store is very high, and hundreds of evaluations are terrible to think about. Five-star merchants who can persist in such a distant place for two years still retain so many favorable comments. Reality is not easy! This also aroused my desire to pull weeds. You can search for "Lugu Lake Fish Village" on the Internet yourself. After tasting it, I believe you won't be disappointed.
Eight, use the above strategy with the map
Lugu Lake is my favorite destination, and I want to live here for a long time. It is also recommended that friends find a favorite inn to stay here for a few days when they are free. For those of us who have stayed in big cities for a long time, we need to live by the lake, hear the lapping of the lake every day and think quietly about our future plans. All the above are written by my personal understanding of Lugu Lake. I hope it works for you.
I have a deep obsession: if a person can go to a distant place three times, or meet someone far away three times, I will use a good word to describe this feeling:-I am lucky to have three lives!
I had the opportunity to go to Lugu Lake for the first time, and I was filled with joy. At that time, I didn't know much about that place, except that it was a long and difficult place to go, but it was beautiful.
When I was a child, I saw a brief introduction in a documentary. I can still remember that a nation got married there, and there was a long bridge where people would cross the bridge, climb mountains and climb flower towers! This is my first impression in my mind.
Now, Lugu Lake is located at the junction of Yunnan and Sichuan, surrounded by mountains. If you go there at a young age, you will have some trouble. Only in 214, I heard someone say: Lijiang has been driving for 9 hours, and there has been a landslide recently. The line has stopped, and I dare not send flights.
this is such a distant place that it is not easy to get there. But that's why she is so beautiful. Isolation is all natural.
the last matriarchal clan society is there. At the beginning of mankind, matriarchal family, mother-in-law and mother-rearing, natural instinct. If it is not just tourism, from the perspective of human values, the matriarchal family represents the other pole of human civilization except the paternal family, how can we respect it without warning?
In my childhood memory, this long wooden bridge spanning 1, mu of grass sea was originally called "Walking Marriage Bridge". Legend has it that there is a couple who love each other. You live in Caohai, and I live in Caohai. The life end and the life end are separated into banks. Every night, my little brother paddles the pig trough boat, goes to the place where there is a little sister, and waits until dawn the next day, then paddles the boat back to his home. In the long run, no matter ups and downs, changes in temperature and warmth, never stop. My sister saw it in her eyes and felt pain in her heart. I thought if I could build a bridge between the grass and the sea, my brother wouldn't have to work so hard every day. So, after a business negotiation, the two began to build a single-plank bridge, which became the "wedding bridge", also known as the "magpie bridge".
As for "going out to get married", many people think it is a mysterious and desirable existence.
As a marriage mode of Mosuo people, it is different from our one-piece marriage contract system. There is no "parents' orders", "matchmaker's words", no concept of "husbands follow women's orders" and "husbands are the sky", and there is no economic interest involved.
Men and women come together because of love. The combination is free, and the initiative is mutual.
it is indisputable that there will be no such words as "divorce", "third party", "custody of children" and "inheritance of property". People admire each other because of pure sex, and it is love that maintains this bond. Two of a kind, there are no other complicated factors.
when it comes to this, there will always be some voices asking: isn't it very free without contract constraints? Take this today and I'll climb that greenhouse tomorrow? Or make an appointment with this one today and another one tomorrow? That's not true!
In Mosuo language, men call their lover "xia" and women call their lover "Azhu", and their relationship is called "Xiao". In short, it is our "girlfriend", "boyfriend" and "lover".
The number of male "A Shao" or female "A Shao" may be more or less, and the relationship is not fixed. But this does not mean the so-called "polyandry" and "polygamy", but their relationship is absolutely free, and both sides have the right to choose independently.
"Xiu" relationship can be freely established and easily dissolved. When two people have feelings, they are together. When their feelings fade, they don't want to get along anymore. Just say "I won't come" and "you don't have to come" and the ban will be lifted.
Generally, without children, relationship changes are common, but once you have children, it is no longer easy to change.
In matriarchal society, because the woman is the head of the family, the children born follow the mother, but the biological father will hold a banquet at the full moon of the children to admit their blood relationship, which is also a kind of righteousness to avoid incest with his father.
So, it's not like some strange hunters say: only know mom, not dad. Children know their father, but they don't live together during the day. If mother needs help at home, she can also call her father.
When I really went to Lugu Lake, my feet had settled on the shore of Lugu Lake. It's already January 18th, 217. On that day, I set out from Lijiang and drove the highway around the mountain for 4 hours, and finally arrived.
there are still some slight landslides and falling rocks along the way. But compared with nine hours earlier, I am still much luckier.
When vehicles can already see Lugu Lake from a distance, it is an epiphany to look through the glass. That is a pure blue love letter, delivered in front of me!
at that moment, I forgot what kind of expression I should have, but I couldn't help but press the shutter and sent the photo to an important partner at the same speed.
my scenery, you accompany me! It's beautiful. I was really surprised by her beauty that day, so I couldn't help sharing it with important people for fear of missing it in the future.
She is Lugu Lake in my eyes, my pure blue love letter!
that day, the sun was shining, the sky was blue, the lake was clear, and there were many guests from Siberia, a red-billed gull. I went to feel the pig trough boat, boarded Princess Island and had a very happy jump at Dashui Wharf.
I don't seem to have done anything, but I feel flattered. It looks good! I love it! Sky blue and water blue is a kind of joy that gives birth to flowers from the bottom of my heart. What a beautiful day, such an opportunity!
Maybe it's the kind of blue that I've watched all my life. It's soaked in bone marrow and can't be forgotten for a long time, like the poison of acacia. In dreams, stupidity can't tell reality from falsehood. I dreamed that I was sitting barefoot on the pier trestle on a midsummer night, and there were shallow reeds by the bridge. The night is dark blue, the lake is transparent and clear, and the sky is full of meteors. What a romantic fairy tale! I know, I have lost my heart!
That's why some people say: Don't go to Lugu Lake at will, you will leave your heart there inadvertently.
If one day, I disappear, come to Lugu Lake to find me. You can find me.
Postscript: In March 217, I went to Lugu Lake for the second time to "find my heart". Unfortunately, the next day, it rained. The sky is not blue, the water is not blue, even the little seagulls fly away and become misty rain such as sky blue. At that moment, I was disappointed Driving around the lake that day, we arrived at the Sichuan boundary and saw ten thousand mu of grass sea and a long "footbridge". I
