This trip originally wanted to depart from Chengdu to Lhasa to realize the dream of Lhasa. The plane ticket from Chengdu to Lhasa was at a special price that day, as long as 288 yuan.

This is the first time I have visited Chengdu many times, Caotang Park, where Chairman Mao has also been.

Due to the temporary change in the market price, there are no train tickets for the same day for ticket sales at the railway station window. We can only give an extra 30 yuan to the security guard at the station entrance to purchase them at the window. Take the train to Xichang in the evening and arrive at your destination Xichang Railway Station at 5.30 a.m. It's still not dawn yet. Fortunately, there are enough taxis at the station, and taxis are delivered directly to the hotel where you stay. Xichang is also known as Daliangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture. Xichang is also famous for its satellite launch base. When I came to Xichang, I took a bus to [Qionghai National Wetland Park] that day.

[Qionghai] It is not a sea, but an inland lake. The calm water here shadows the blue sky and white clouds.

This porcelain jar is two-story high and is also the scenery here. There are many goldfish in there.

Look at the sky from the tank.

The first thing to do when returning to the city is to go to the bus terminal to buy a ticket to Lugu Lake tomorrow.

Arriving at the passenger terminal on time, the bus was full. Fortunately, I bought the ticket yesterday, and the 8 o'clock bus left Xichang Passenger Station to Lugu Lake. It takes more than eight hours to get on the bus. Not far from the city, I saw what the true appearance of Daliangshan Mountain is. From Xichang to Yanyuan, there are really three roads, with many mountains, many turns, and many large trucks. The road comes out of the canyon. Sometimes I feel just a little bit, and the car will fall. It's just a two-lane national highway. The road often turns continuously, and sometimes it's more than ten kilometers downhill. Although the bus runs for more than eight hours, I don't dare to squint my eyes for a while under such road conditions. Although this road is steep and the cars are close to it. Walking on the cliff, but there is a galler-like scenery along the way!

At around 17 o'clock in the evening, I finally arrived at my destination. After calculating the time, I found that it was a full 10 hours from Xichang to get here, including lunch time. The bus drives directly to the ticket office of the scenic spot to facilitate passengers to enter the scenic spot. The passengers on this bus are basically free tourists and are all grateful to the driver for his kind move. Otherwise, parking at the bus terminal in the town would be troublesome enough. As soon as he got off the car, many innkeepers waved. Following most people, they came to this camp. It was getting late. In a simple accommodation environment, the independent toilet is the most important. It is said that there is hot water, but in fact there is no one. Each room is 50 yuan. The temperature difference here is very large. It is very cold at night. There is no heating or quilt. However, the person next to the pillow quickly falls asleep. Before going dark, take a photo. This is Lugu Lake on the boundary of Sichuan.

Near before dark, the lake water became sandy.

It's dawn, ready to go.

Lugu Lake is located at the junction of Sichuan and Yunnan. Lugu Lake Town, Yanyuan County, Sichuan, and Ninglang Yi Autonomous County in Yunnan. It is the highest lake in Yunnan Province and the third largest deep-water lake in China.

Lugu Lake has a vast area and it is impossible for us to walk. An old couple in Chengdu who happened to get off the bus together, a new couple on a honeymoon, and even us, happened to pack the same table for 600 yuan a day around the lake for a week, and then sent it to Daluo Water Village, the driver and tour guide. Starting from Lugu Lake in Sichuan, we started a tour around the lake...

Everything seems very quiet here. In the village, plants P are planted in front of and behind houses.

According to local people, this kind of pumpkin only needs melon seeds and does not eat melon meat.

The hard-working Mosuo people began to work at dawn.

If you have a boat and a car at home, you will be a prosperous family.

The hotel I stayed in was dark last night, and I couldn't see the real appearance of the hotel yet, so I made up for it today.

The sun comes out, white clouds and blue skies, lakes and mountains complement each other.

There are stories of Mosuo customs here.

This walking marriage bridge connects the two villages and is the only bridge in Lugu Lake.

These boats are for tourists to support them in the Caohai to play. Because there are not many tourists, no one is here to support them now.

This quiet lake bay is full of aquatic plants and white small white flowers floating on the water. It is really beautiful, but it is a pity that its beauty cannot be photographed. According to reports, this aquatic plant is only found in Lugu Lake.

There are white clouds floating in the sky, and the white clouds grow in the lake. The sky, white clouds, mountains and water are connected.

The pig trough boat leaned quietly on the shore, and the willow trees floated in the wind. Everything here became quiet and comfortable.

Gum Goddess Mountain

[Goddess Bay], also known as Zhaojia Bay, is my favorite attraction. It is the auspicious clouds on the [Gemu Goddess Mountain] and the quiet harbor.

Thank you very much to the driver for bringing us to this beautiful and moving harbor. We were the only ones in the scenic area. It was wonderful.

The green forest, the green clear and clear lake water, the Gum Goddess Mountain in the distance, the pure white and flawless auspicious clouds on the sacred mountain, and the quiet lakes and mountains. Being in it feels like a paradise. Lugu Lake is worthy of being the pearl of the plateau.

There is a landscape painting in front of me, like a fairyland, with the beauty of nature, and people swimming in a painting.

Arriving at [Riga Island] at noon, the wind is strong, the sun is strong, and the scenery is beautiful. This photo is also a promotional advertisement for Lugu Lake tourism. I wanted to visit the island, but the driver said that there would be no such scene when I entered. After crossing Ligge Village, it belongs to Yunnan. Obviously, the management of scenic spots in Yunnan is better than that in Sichuan.

The white clouds seem to embrace the lake, which is so beautiful.

The driver sent us to Daluoshui Village, which means he sent us to Lugu Lake in Ninglang County, Yunnan, and that was over.

I stayed here tonight. The environment is much better than last night. I live in Caohai on the second floor, facing the lake view. However, the price is twice that of last night, but it is worth it. I stayed nearly 20 kilometers away last night. So there was no choice for the first night stay. This inn is called Lvyou's Home and is run by a person from Shenzhen. The key is the special passenger line to Lijiang. It is only a ten-minute walk from Daluoshui. This is also the central scenic spot of Lugu Lake, and it is convenient for food, drinking, playing and entertainment. I will choose this area next time I come again.

After settling down, we came to the cruise ship terminal, which is also a landmark of Lugu Lake. I want to take a photo to commemorate it. Tomorrow morning, we will take a boat here to the island opposite.

In the evening, there were not many tourists, and the entire lake area was quiet. Looking at the intoxicating lakes and mountains, pig troughs and boats were anchored by the lake, and the willows on the bank were floating in the wind. They walked slowly along the quiet and bright lake. Slow down and enjoy life well, which is very comfortable. This environment made us change our itinerary again. We didn't want to leave when we came. So, we stayed in Lugu Lake for three nights.

The pig trough boat was anchored by the lake. The pig trough boat only used a large piece of wood and dug out the middle to become a boat. Parking by the lake becomes a big sight.

The lake is very quiet and there are not many tourists. The road near the lake area of Daluoshui River is full of inns and B & Bs. The International Youth Hostel is also here. Since it is not the peak season, many shops are closed.

I chose to stay in Lugu Lake for three nights and slept lazily until I woke up naturally every day. Then I went to the dock and took a boat to the opposite island. There is a Tibetan Buddhist temple on the island,[Wulibi Temple]

These three girls are quite interesting. They are on the same boat and on the same island, and they are friendly with these two young men.

[Liwubi Temple] This temple was built (1587 - 1646)

When viewing Lugu Lake from the island, the scenery is even more beautiful.

The weather is particularly good today and the scenery is beautiful, like an oil painting.

There were not many tourists in the morning. The young man who was the boat punter warmly invited us to visit his house. His home is next to the inn where we live. The young man is a Mosuo ethnic group and was born and raised. He told us that the tourism operators here are basically foreign operators. The houses here cannot be sold to outsiders, but can only be rented out. People from outsiders cannot move in. Even if the young man marries an outside woman as a daughter-in-law, he cannot move his household registration into the local area. This is the government's policy to protect the ancient Mosuo ethnic group from being Hanicized. Their house was rented out in Wanghu. With rental income, their lives have been greatly improved. Villagers rarely work outside. There is not much arable land in the village, boat ponting is rotated, and the income is average. In winter, there are no tourists who stay at home. Life was very comfortable. I asked him about walking marriages. He replied that now their generation can register for marriage, or they can not register and continue walking marriages, but they all have fixed partners. Once they receive a marriage certificate, they can no longer be walking marriages.

This is his grandmother, the head of the family, and the head of the family. She controls all the money and is the highest power in the family. He listens to his grandmother and is very filial. Seeing him enter the house, he first recounted today's events with his grandmother, a picture of intimacy, harmonious and harmonious relationship.

The apples he grows at home are very sweet.

Pingguo is a specialty here. The food eaten at home is all selected and does not look good, so I keep it for myself to eat slowly.

The moon is very round in the sky tonight.

During this trip, we saw the most beautiful Lugu Lake. The beauty of Lugu Lake is not only the crystal clear water, but also the ancient Mosuo families, the colorful cultural landscapes and lifestyles. We saw the environment of the scenic area. Due to the investment of foreign funds, tourists can live more comfortably. Here, seeing the coexistence of the original Mosuo families and modern operators, we will leave for the Ancient City of Lijiang tomorrow. The scenery of [Lugu Lake] makes me reluctant and satisfied. I will definitely come again if I have the opportunity in the future.

Summarizing the itinerary, if you come from Xichang, it is good to stay at the inn and hotel at the entrance of the scenic spot on the first day, and you should choose Daluoshui on the next day. The transportation here is convenient and the living environment is better than that in Xichuan. If you go in the direction of Lijiang, Daluoshui is the first choice. When visiting Lugu Lake, it is best to play for four days so that you can have a feeling for Lugu Lake.
