Chongqing can fly directly to Lugu Lake! Seeing this news, I quickly booked a ticket. Although the best season for Lugu Lake is in spring and summer, I have always wanted to come and visit this mysterious land. I was worried about the weather before setting off, but the sun was very good on the first day. Even in late autumn, I was lucky enough to see Lugu Lake at its most beautiful time. Let's have a few trailers first ~~~

DAY1: Chongqing-Lugu Lake Airport-Lugu Lake

Since we flew directly to Lugu Lake from Chongqing, we arrived at Lugu Lake one day in advance. Chengcheng's boutique pure play group departed from Lijiang to Lugu Lake at 7 a.m. the next morning. After arriving at Lugu Lake, we rushed to the booked inn. By the way, the inn also has a lake-view room arranged by Chengcheng, which is a lot cheaper than our own booking. Thank you very much. After arranging the check-in, we wandered around the small village under the foot of the Goddess Mu Mountain nearby. At first, I regretted it because the transportation was not very convenient, but after arriving in Nisai Village, I was attracted by her isolation from the world. Four or five inns stand side by side a hundred meters away from the lake. Outside the window are flower beds and vines. There is no noise from horses and horses. Sunlight without any impurities penetrates into the clear lake water like jade. Close your eyes and breathe, as if you are in a thousand years ago. In the quiet and picturesque picture scroll.

Outside the inn is the lover tree. The two trees, one big and the other small, are leaning against each other, overlooking the spring, summer, winter and autumn of Ninglang. The scorching sun and the first snow may be the case."To the Oak Tree" that Shu Ting wanted to express may be like this.

There was no one on the mountain, but sometimes there were fat birds and little squirrels walking around among the trees. After turning over two rolling barren mountains, our bodies were covered with thorns... Fortunately, I finally saw Rigg Island, which is more unique than Rigg Observation Deck.

Caohai is not the sea ~

After going down the mountain, we didn't go directly to Ligg. We came to an inaccessible place. I don't know its name. Because it was covered with yellow grass, I'll call it Xiaocao Sea...

There was no one in the sea or sea in this piece of grass. We slowly moved forward to search and arrived at Rigg Island.

Gesang flowers can still be seen in Lugu Lake in late autumn, and water and grass grow wantonly in the lake.

Ligg Island is surrounded by lakes, and from a distance, it is completely occupied by inns. On the way from the airport, we found many restaurants. In fact, we climbed over the mountains just to have a meal of stone pot fish. After a full meal, we felt that the afternoon's mountain adventure was worth it. It's a world of food!

DAY2: Two-day Tour of Lugu Lake

In the early morning of the next day, I wanted to watch the sunrise. Hehe, but the clouds were too thick, so Father Sun gave up after several efforts. Walking along the lake in Nisai Village, the cold wind blew fiercely. In May, the weather on the plateau was only 5 degrees Celsius. Today is our day with the group. After strolling around the lake, we went back to the inn to wait for Chengcheng's group.

Fortunately, at ten o'clock in the morning, the driver of Chengcheng's family finally arrived at Lugu Lake. After receiving us, he started a journey around the smoky Lugu Lake. The sunless Lugu Lake suddenly seemed to have turned into a West Lake. There were seven people in the group. The driver and five other people came from Lijiang. My boyfriend and I were waiting for them at Lugu Lake. We had no choice. We flew directly to Lugu Lake.

While I was around the lake, I met a lovely little Mosuo girl.

The Mosuo people have Mongolian blood and have their own language but no writing. I asked Assange if the little girl was already three years old and was about to go to kindergarten. He said that no children in Lugu Lake went to kindergarten, and the only kindergarten was dozens of kilometers away. If they went to primary school, they would learn Chinese. Teachers would give the children Han names to distinguish them, otherwise everyone would be called Zhuoma and so on. The little girl is very happy to grow up in this pure and simple land, but I am also filled with emotion. We are also children, and their growth trajectories may be very different. We live in a city with abundant material life, so we should cherish it even more.

The Conch Sutra Hall that fell into the water

Put up a wish sign and pray for the safety and health of your family.

Goddess Bay

It was cloudy all morning, and I came to Goddess Bay

At that time, it was miraculously blue and clear skies here, and I couldn't help but be happy. Several small boats were lying lazily on the lake, like babies sleeping in their mother's arms. The years were so quiet and peaceful.

The aunt selling river shrimps in Goddess Bay made me a colorful braid, but my colorful braid was also like river shrimps and the Mosuo route ahead.

Lugu Lake

The lake water is so willful and clear ~~~ Lugu Lake people especially cherish this lake water and can drink it directly. If someone wipes their trousers with water by the lake, or dirty cars dirty the water, local residents will definitely condemn it.

Falling water

Next stop-Get on the boat at Wuzhiluo Wharf near Caohai and start a lake tour. The boat slowly sails out of the golden sea of grass. From shallow to deep, the dense water and grass at the bottom of the lake are clearly visible, and the vision is gradually broadened.

Returning from Caohai, it was getting late. In the evening, dead trees seemed to tell ancient stories in the tide at Lover Beach ~

Next stop, Lovers Beach

It had just been dark in the evening, and the driver took us to dinner. The dinner was given by Cheng Cheng on the itinerary. There was a wedding banquet ~ there was also a bonfire party

DAY3: Gum Goddess Mountain

Behind Nisai Village is Goddess Mountain. On the third morning, we took the cableway up Goddess Mountain.

Goddess Mountain is the sacred mountain of Ninglang. The Mosuo people designate July 25 every year as a festival to worship the Goddess. On this day, they dressed up and went to the sacrificial site to hold a grand ceremony. Offer sacrifices such as honey, flowers, butter, and milk residue, and burn a pile of loose wool fire. After offering sacrifices to the goddess, young men and women walked around the mountains, singing and dancing.

The picture below shows the distant view of Goddess Mountain taken on the road from Sanjia Village to Dashuoshui. Does it look like a goddess lying in a lake?

The Goddess Mountain Cableway is still worth a visit, but this cableway is so simple that people who are afraid of heights will really cry. In the morning, the monkeys on the mountain are probably awakened by my screams. In addition, the Goddess Mountain Cableway recommends not to buy a package ticket. The so-called ticket in front of the cableway is actually a small gentle slope of 100 meters. There is no need for more than 40 yuan. In fact, the chartered master the day before reminded us not to listen to the old man and we will suffer losses in front of us.

Overlooking the lake on Goddess Mountain, each island has different shapes, including Turtle Island, Crocodile Island, and Snake Island. I can't help but be amazed at the magical power of nature.

Maybe Nisai Village is too beautiful, so in comparison, the scenery of Falling Water naturally lacks a sense of independence. Because this place is closer to the airport, on the last day we chose the inn in Sanjia Village, a location close to Dashuoshui. We walked along the lake again until we fell into the water. We played while walking. We walked for about an hour.

Falling water

Guess what in the distance Xiaohei?

Dried vines, old trees and ducklings

I had a barbecue for dinner, and then walked back to Sanjia Village along the lake with a flashlight. Such a leisurely travel plan didn't want to end up walking halfway around Lugu Lake through mountains and rivers. It was really a lost journey. However, it was precisely because of the embarrassment that I saw the unique scenery along the way.

Shuhe Ancient Town:

Return to Shuhe Ancient Town with the group. It is a quiet and peaceful ancient town, especially suitable for enjoying life

Compared with Dayan Ancient Town, it is more simple and peaceful. It is the most well-preserved important market town on the ancient tea-horse road. The buildings follow the traditional architectural style of the Naxi people, and the ethnic customs are also very strong. Naxi houses are scattered around mountains and rivers, creating a quiet and peaceful picture.

Attraction recommendations: 1. Jiuding Longtan: Also called Longquan, an ancient spring with a history of nearly a thousand years. The spring water is crystal clear and blue. 2. Longquan Temple: Also known as Sansheng Palace, Mudong, a Tusi of the Ming Dynasty, was built during the Longqing Period. It is a temple passed down from the Han Dynasty that majored in Pure Land Sect and also practiced Zen Buddhism. 3. Qinglong Bridge: Built in the Wanli Period of the Ming Dynasty, it has a history of more than 400 years. It is all built of stones. To the west is Jubao Mountain. The central axis of Qinglong Bridge is facing Jubao Mountain. This is the design of Mu's Tusi and a landmark building in the heyday of Mu's Tusi. There are many newlyweds taking Chinese wedding photos here. 4. Sifang Street: It has five roads leading to all directions, surrounded by water, and is a market in mid-day. It is one of the oldest markets in Lijiang Bazi. 5. Listening to music from all directions: Where large-scale activities and performances are held,"Sifang" is a pun. It is not only derived from "Sifang Street", but also means that all directions and rivers are widely accepted. 6. Three wells: In fact, it is an ancient local water-saving method. It uses the flow of water to form three wells side by side from top to bottom. The leftmost side of the three wells is used as the source of spring water for drinking water, the middle is used for washing vegetables, and the rightmost side is used for washing clothes.

Transportation: Drip from the ancient city of Lijiang or take a taxi to the entrance of Shuhe Ancient Town. It takes about 15 minutes to drive, 15-20 yuan.

Popular restaurants in Shuhe Ancient Town have eaten delicious food, highly recommended

[Mint] Environment: It's quite great. Fortunately, we were lucky that the small wind blew on the balcony on the second floor and it would come up with a scratch.

Small pot rice must be ordered! Our hotel housekeeper recommended it! The small potatoes inside are fried with the minced meat and there is also a layer of crispy rice under it, which is absolutely delicious

Yunnan specialty aquatic poplar flowers This is the best I have ever eaten when traveling. It has a little spicy taste that almost retains the original flavor of aquatic poplar flowers

Iron plate wrapped tofu wrapped soy tofu (´ л `) This iron plate wrapped tofu is simply a representative of crispy outside and tender inside. It is mixed with the unique pepper and shallot in one bite and tender in the middle until there is no crispy under the tongue.

Kimchi tripe This tripe looks very spicy, but it is actually the kimchi inside it! The point is that the kimchi inside tastes very sour and won't feel too sour at all. With tripe, it doesn't taste too great. There are also many delicious foods... I'm going to eat it, and it's almost eaten by my friends.

[Service Bell] Service: Finally, service is good and communication is stress-free

It is almost 30 this year, and it seems that there is no sense of standing. After watching "Hello, Zhihua", many people may have misaligned their dreams when they were young and now, but life is still going on, just like this lake. It flows quietly in the long river of time with an inclusive attitude, because the unknown is beautiful.

Goodbye, Lijiang!

Goodbye, Lugu Lake!

Goodbye, Shuhe!
