Guest User: The hotel boasts a convenient location, nestled between the Mosuo National Museum, the bus station, and various eateries. When I got lost, I serendipitously met the owner. His kindness was genuine and unpretentious, not ostentatious, yet it brought a sense of calm. Even with a late-night arrival, he meticulously arranged transportation and repeatedly assisted me with transfers between villages. The staff were gentle and friendly, and the room was warm, comfortable, with modern yet understated facilities. Like Lugu Lake itself, this place offers a sense of 'blank space,' allowing those beautiful moments from the journey to be quietly cherished.

Route connection logic reference The Lugu Lake loop road is approximately 70 km long. A standard tour can be planned in a clockwise direction to avoid backtracking while aligning with the orientation and flow of most viewpoints: Yunnan section (Daluoshui, Lige Peninsula, Nisai Village) → Sichuan-Yunnan border (Luguhu Town, Caohai, Walking Marriage Bridge) → Sichuan section (Wangfei Island, "Dear Inn" filming location, Goddess Bay).

A Complete Guide to Leisurely Travel in Lijiang Old Town: Experience the Charm and Relaxed Charm of Naxi Ancient Alleys As one of the few places in China where the entire old town is listed as a World Heritage Site, Lijiang Old Town hides the most vibrant Naxi ethnic atmosphere in Southwest China. There are no rushed itineraries with must-see spots; only by slowly strolling along the cobblestone streets can you discover its hidden surprises. This tried-and-tested guide to exploring the town and its food will help you avoid unnecessary detours and immerse yourself in the relaxed atmosphere of the old town. Essential Pre-Trip Information Lijiang Old Town actually comprises three areas: Dayan Old Town, Shuhe Ancient Town, and Baisha Ancient Town. When people refer to "Lijiang Old Town," they usually mean the most developed and popular area, Dayan Old Town. All tips will focus on Dayan Old Town: The Old Town is completely pedestrian-friendly; there are no motor vehicles or shared bicycles. All areas require walking. Comfortable flat shoes are recommended, as the cobblestone streets are uneven, and high heels can easily cause ankle sprains. There are multiple entrances to the Old Town. The most commonly used are the North Gate (with the large waterwheel), the South Gate, and the Zhongyi Market entrance. The North Gate is closer to the core area of the Old Town, the South Gate is closer to the guesthouse area, and the Zhongyi Market entrance directly connects to the local market. Choose the entrance based on your accommodation location. Entry to the Old Town does not require a reservation. Individual attractions within the Old Town require separate identity verification. Specific fees are subject to on-site announcements at the attractions. Lijiang Altitude: 2400 meters The altitude is around 1000 meters, and the ultraviolet radiation is extremely strong. Regardless of the season, you should apply high-SPF sunscreen and wear a hat. The temperature difference between day and night is significant in the high-altitude region, so even in summer, bring a light jacket, as it can be quite cool in the evenings when strolling through the old town. Must-see Core Experiences Must-Visit Landmarks Big Waterwheel: The iconic building at the North Gate of the Old Town. The two rotating waterwheels are the first impression many people have of Lijiang. The Dongba cultural wall next to it is inscribed with Naxi pictographs, perfect for taking your first tourist photo. It's best to go before 9 am when there are fewer people and the photos turn out better. Sifang Street: The central square of the Old Town. Every afternoon, local Naxi elders in traditional costumes perform a folk dance. Tourists can join in for free; the rhythm is simple and easy to follow, making it the best place to experience the local atmosphere. The alleys extending in all directions from Sifang Street are great places to stroll and eat. No need for a specific route plan; you'll stumble upon interesting little shops just by wandering around. Mu Mansion: There's a saying, "In the north there's the Forbidden City, in the south there's the Mu Mansion." It was the residence of an ancient Naxi chieftain, preserving Ming Dynasty architectural style and offering detailed information on Naxi history. Free guided tours are available upon entry. A complete tour takes about 1.5 hours and provides insight into the ancient city's history. Lion Mountain Wangu Tower: The highest point in the ancient city, about a 10-minute climb to the top. From here, you can overlook the entire ancient city's continuous gray-tiled rooftops. The warm sunlight at sunset casts a beautiful glow on the rooftops, and at night you can also photograph the city's myriad lights. If you don't want to climb stairs, there are many scenic cafes halfway up Lion Hill where you can sit down, order a drink, and enjoy panoramic views. Qiyi Street and Wuyi Street: The two busiest main streets in the old town. Qiyi Street is more filled with cultural and creative shops, handicraft shops, and specialty snack shops, while Wuyi Street has many folk music bars with live music in the evenings. If you prefer a quieter atmosphere, explore the alleys on both sides of the street; many unique shops are hidden in these alleys. Local Experiences Visit Zhongyi Market: Located next to the South Gate of the old town, this is a local market for Lijiang locals. It's open from 8 am to 6 pm. Inside, you can buy fresh Yunnan mushrooms, freshly cut Lijiang cured pork ribs, incredibly sweet Yunnan strawberries, freshly roasted milk fan, and many local food stalls. The food is more affordable than in the old town, allowing you to experience the most authentic local life. Experience Dongba Paper Making / Dongba Script Writing: There are many Dongba cultural experience shops in the Old Town. You can learn to make Dongba paper with an intangible cultural heritage teacher, or write your name on Dongba paper. The teacher will teach you the corresponding pictographic characters for your name. You can take the finished product home as a souvenir. Enjoy a Bowl of Freshly Brewed Butter Tea: Local teahouses offer both sweet and savory flavors. It's recommended to try the sweet one first, as the savory butter tea goes well with local milk curd cakes. It's warm and comforting, helping to ward off the cold and alleviate altitude sickness. Explore the Old Town Night Market: Every evening, the lanterns of the Old Town light up. The night markets on Sifang Street and Qiyi Street feature stalls selling handmade jewelry, ethnic clothing, and unique cultural and creative products. Strolling along the river, you can hear folk music playing from the bars on the bank, creating a uniquely romantic atmosphere in Lijiang. Accommodation & Food Recommendations Accommodation Options If you prefer a lively atmosphere and convenient access to restaurants and shopping, choose a guesthouse in the heart of the ancient city (near Sifang Street and Qiyi Street). Shops and attractions are right outside, and you won't have to walk too far, but it can be a bit noisy at night, so it's not recommended for light sleepers. If you prefer a quieter environment, choose a guesthouse near the south or north gate of the ancient city, which is a 5-10 minute walk from the entrance. For a more affordable price, you won't be disturbed at night, and many guesthouses offer free pick-up and drop-off services to the old town entrance. If you want scenic views, choose guesthouses halfway up Lion Mountain. Most have viewing terraces where you can see the morning mist over the old town and the night view. However, carrying luggage uphill can be tiring, so ask the guesthouse for help with luggage when booking. Local delicacies you won't regret trying: Lijiang Cured Pork Ribs Hot Pot: A must-try specialty in Lijiang. The cured pork ribs are locally made by salting and air-drying, resulting in a rich and savory broth. You can add various Yunnan mushrooms, water hyacinth, and potatoes. Dipping it in the local sauce makes it especially delicious. It's recommended to find a long-established shop rather than the trendy restaurants on the main street. Chicken Pea Jelly: A Naxi specialty made with local chicken peas, served cold with chili and spice. Vegetables and minced garlic, tangy and spicy, appetizing; pan-fried until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, both textures are worth trying. Water Hyacinth: A vegetable that only grows in the clean waters of Yunnan. It can be stir-fried or used in hot pot; its crisp and tender texture with a slightly sweet taste is a unique flavor you can't find elsewhere. Rushan Sachima: Sachima made with Dali Rushan (a type of milk fan), it has a richer milky flavor than regular Sachima and isn't too sweet, making it a great souvenir for friends. Paoluda: A Southeast Asian-style dessert, bread crisps soaked in coconut milk, topped with sago, purple rice, and coconut flakes. Iced and refreshing, it's very palatable and especially comforting in summer. Food Avoidance Tips: Don't buy products from mobile stalls claiming "wild mushroom sauce" or "pure natural herbs" on the main street of the old town; the quality is not guaranteed. For souvenirs, it's recommended to go to reputable chain specialty stores with clearly marked prices for peace of mind. When eating mushroom hot pot, make sure it's fully cooked before eating to avoid any discomfort. Practical Notes: The cobblestone streets in the old town are uneven. If you're dragging luggage, it's recommended to contact your guesthouse in advance to pick you up at the entrance. Many guesthouses offer small carts to help with luggage transport; pulling it yourself will be very strenuous. There are many stalls in the old town offering photo opportunities in ethnic costumes. Before booking, be sure to clarify the included services, such as the number of costumes, whether makeup and styling are included, the number of photos taken, and the number of retouched photos, to avoid future disputes. Don't easily trust strangers on the street claiming they can "take you to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain via a shortcut" or "cheap car hire to Lugu Lake." For travel bookings, use reputable platforms or stores, and refer to official pricing information. Lijiang has a dry climate, so be careful when exploring... Remember to stay hydrated throughout your stay in the Old Town. Bring a portable water bottle; many guesthouses and shops offer free hot water. Respect the customs of the local ethnic minorities. Don't touch the heads of local children, and don't touch Dongba cultural items without permission. If you have any questions, ask the shop owner first. The waterways in the Old Town are protected drinking water sources. Please don't litter or play in the water; let's work together to protect the environment. The most charming aspect of Lijiang Old Town isn't about visiting countless attractions, but rather finding a sunny afternoon, sitting in a riverside teahouse, basking in the sun, watching elderly Naxi people slowly stroll by carrying their vegetable baskets, and listening to folk songs drifting from nearby taverns. Time seems to slow down here. Don't rush; wander around as you please, and find a place to sit when you're tired. That's the right way to experience Lijiang Old Town.
When researching accommodation for Lugu Lake, I wanted to avoid the crowds and eventually discovered Anxia Resort Hotel, tucked away in Daluoshui Village. The architecture blends local Mosuo features with natural wood textures and low-saturation wabi-sabi decor, perfectly complementing the atmosphere of Lugu Lake. It’s just a few steps to the lake. Walking along the shore and feeling the breeze, life instantly slows down. The small details in the room are a big plus—comfortable bedding and quality toiletries make for a relaxing, worry-free stay. Your stay includes breakfast featuring local Yunnan rice noodles. It’s also very convenient if you’re driving, with parking available. There’s no need to rush to tourist spots. Wake up to clouds floating on the lake, and sit in the balcony courtyard to simply relax and unwind. If you’re looking to escape the hustle and bustle at Lugu Lake, Anxia is the perfect little sanctuary to settle in and slowly experience the lake and mountains. 📍Lugu Lake Anxia Resort Hotel
Featuring full lake-view rooms, this low-density retreat offers exclusive tranquility, blending French and Nordic aesthetics. The garden lawn is perfect for capturing stunning Tuscany-style photos. All room types face the lake and Liwubi Island directly, with courtyard and terrace rooms suitable for private getaways or family trips. The manor is equipped with one-on-one butler service, a lakeside café, and exclusive travel photography services. It offers a choice of breakfast, exquisite afternoon tea, and complimentary evening sweet soup and fruit platters, with free shuttle service within the village. Within walking distance of Daluoshui Pier and the bustling town center, a 3-day itinerary allows for leisurely enjoyment of the manor's lake views, boating on the lake, and visiting niche spots around the lake. The plateau has a large temperature difference between day and night, and there are many mosquitoes in the garden. Lake-view rooms and afternoon tea should be booked in advance during peak season. The guesthouse does not allow pets.
A rustic, high-quality hotel nestled in the mountains by the lake✨, featuring scattered log architecture and panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows that frame Lugu Lake and Goddess Mountain right in your room. Rooms come with underfloor heating, thoughtful amenities, high-quality toiletries, and complimentary fridge drinks and snacks. Some room types are pet-friendly, so you can bring your furry friends along for a vacation. The hillside terrace is the perfect viewing spot to watch the morning lake mist and the evening sunset. The butler service is thoughtful and attentive, and the afternoon tea and goodnight desserts are a great bonus. Escape the hustle and bustle, lie back, and quietly watch the lake—it's the ideal healing retreat in Lugu Lake.
Finally found this hidden gem of a homestay tucked away on the mountainside at Lugu Lake. Located in Puluo Village, it’s the highest-altitude hotel on the lake, offering a quiet and incredibly private experience. Open your door to a private lake-view terrace facing the entire lake. Rooms are equipped with LE LABO 33 toiletries and high-thread-count bedding, and you can enjoy complimentary minibar drinks. Just lie in bed and watch the lake scenery shift. The third-floor lobby offers a panoramic view of the entire lake, with stunning scenery as far as the eye can see. The backyard garden is planted with various fruit trees 🍎, and there are plenty of cute kitties 🐱. There are all sorts of unique activities for photos, including a wooden cabin bonfire area, a popular bird's nest viewing platform, and cultural experiences 🥰. The hotel service is very warm, with full star-rated butler service. They provide shuttle service for dining nearby and are very responsive whenever you need assistance. Breakfast options include both Chinese and Western styles, and it’s delicious! Getting around is also convenient, with the pier just 2 minutes away. The hotel can arrange transfers for boat trips to Wangfei Island. Whether you want to see water lilies in spring and summer, or wait for the morning mist and feed seagulls in autumn and winter, this is the perfect, healing place to slow down and enjoy a vacation at Lugu Lake 🌿. 📍Location: Lugu Lake Qieman Ruyingsong Mountain Hotel
When I opened the window early in the morning, the lake was still wrapped in a thin mist, and Gemu Goddess Mountain lay quietly on the opposite shore. The first rays of light spread out, dyeing the lake a gentle orange. The sunrise at Lige Peninsula was the start of our trip; the wind was light, and even the ripples seemed to quiet down. We didn't rush to crowd the popular piers, choosing instead to walk slowly along the lakeshore. A row of wooden "pig-trough" boats sat moored on the shore, floating quietly in the crystal-clear water, their colors perfectly complementing the blue lake. These wooden boats have been used by the Mosuo people for generations. Taking a boat ride allows you to get closer to the center of the lake and see the water plants swaying beneath the surface. Day 1 is mainly for the western section of the lake, starting from Daluoshui. Daluoshui Pier has the most complete facilities, making it convenient for dining, accommodation, and renting vehicles—perfect for settling in and resting. The lake is expansive here, offering a full view of the silhouette of Goddess Mountain, and on sunny days, the water is a brilliant, transparent blue. Renting an electric scooter to circle the lake is the most popular choice. The lakeside road hugs the water on one side and the forest on the other. In autumn, the poplar trees along the road slowly turn yellow. As you ride, the wind, carrying the coolness of the lake, brushes against your face. There's no need to ride the entire route in one go; feel free to stop whenever you see a beautiful spot to relax or take photos. The highlight of the evening is Goddess Bay, the best spot to watch the sunset at Lugu Lake. When the clouds spread out, the entire lake is filled with the reflection of the sunset, and small boats drift in the golden light. You don't need a filter; the scene before you is already breathtaking. Remember to arrive half an hour early to secure a spot, as the sunset is short and fleeting. On Day 2, head toward the Sichuan side, where Caohai (Grass Sea) and the Walking Marriage Bridge are located. A long wooden bridge stretches across the reed marshes, with water plants spreading out along the current. Walking on the bridge, you can hear the sound of water birds skimming the surface. The Walking Marriage Bridge is more than just a photo spot; it's a very special place in Mosuo culture. Take your time and don't rush. If you visit between May and August, the lake will be covered in "water-loving flowers" (Ottelia acuminata). Clusters of small white flowers float in the clear water, a unique tenderness exclusive to Lugu Lake. Don't be disappointed if you visit outside of the flowering season; the lake has a different charm in every season. For accommodation, I prefer Lige or Daluoshui. Lige offers incredible views—you can see the lake the moment you open your window—but the facilities are basic. Daluoshui is convenient for dining and shopping, making it more "lazy-traveler" friendly. For food, try the Mosuo barbecue and lake fish; the flavors are simple and authentic. Avoid the small shops soliciting customers on the roadside, and instead ask your homestay host for the local restaurants they frequent. As for clothing, be sure to bring a thick jacket. The temperature difference between day and night by the lake is significant; even if it's sunny during the day, the wind is very cold at sunrise and sunset. Choose comfortable, non-slip shoes, as you'll be doing a lot of walking around the lake and on the bridge. The UV rays on the plateau are very strong, so don't forget sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses. After entering the park, there are no additional entrance fees for circling the lake, but the pig-trough boat rides are charged separately. Ask about the routes and prices in advance to avoid unexpected price hikes. The mountain roads have many curves, so be sure to slow down when riding an electric scooter. I didn't visit every single spot on this trip. Rather than rushing through everything, I prefer sitting by the lake and quietly waiting for the sunset. When you travel, do you prefer to see every attraction, or do you like to leave time to just relax and take it all in? If you like this slow-paced travel itinerary, feel free to save it, or leave a comment and let me know when you plan to visit Lugu Lake.
When visiting Lugu Lake, why not try a different perspective? This isn't the famous Daluoshui Village, but Xiaoyuba. It's less than 2 km from Daluoshui Village, but the view is completely different~ The lake is bluer in the morning than in the afternoon, a quiet kind of blue. The cosmos flowers had faded by the end of October, and I missed the sea of flowers in front of the hotel, which was a bit of a pity. But as I kept walking slowly toward the lake, the sun at 5:00–6:00 PM slanted across the water, warm and bright, and the water was crystal clear. As the breeze blew, my heart calmed down... The first batch of Siberian seagulls arrived at the end of October, and they are truly adorable~ The butler was always on call, drove us to Daluoshui for dinner, and even handed us two local apples on the way—it was so heartwarming~ We stayed in a lake-view king room. Soaking in a hot bath at night while feeling the breeze from Lugu Lake, all the fatigue of the day just melted away~
The overall design features a rustic yet sophisticated Mosuo village aesthetic, with detached guest rooms offering excellent privacy. Enjoy dual views of Gemu Goddess Mountain and Lugu Lake, plus expansive lawns and an infinity pool that are perfect for photos📸 Walk to the lakeside boardwalk to watch the sunrise and sunset. Pet-friendly, so you can travel with your furry friends stress-free. The butler service is thoughtful, and the food is delicious. Away from the hustle and bustle, wake up to the mountain breeze in the morning and enjoy the starry sky at night—the top choice for a Lugu Lake getaway.

Finally saw Lugu Lake from the textbooks! A pool of crystal-clear blue water, embraced by rolling green mountains. The Lige Peninsula lies quietly on the lake surface, with wooden cabins scattered about, like a secluded paradise cut off from the world. Wild pink and purple flowers bloom wantonly along the lakeshore. When the wind blows, the flower branches sway gently, making the lake water look even more tender. Colorful pig trough boats are moored by the reed marshes. Sitting on a yellow boat drifting on the lake, the water is as clear as a mirror, reflecting Gemu Goddess Mountain, clouds, and people, making it hard to tell where the sky ends and the lake begins. There is no hurried hustle and bustle here, only the lake breeze, distant mountains, and leisurely clouds. Stroll slowly along the lakeside, watch the reeds rise and fall with the wind, and listen to Mosuo stories; time slows down unconsciously. Every snapshot is full of healing vibes, and every frame looks like an oil painting. ✅Travel tips ▪️You must take a pig trough boat to tour the lake to experience the clarity of the water up close ▪️The Lige Peninsula viewing platform is the perfect spot for photos, offering a stunning bird's-eye view of the peninsula ▪️The lighting is best on sunny days; light-colored outfits are a perfect match for the blue lake ▪️There is a large temperature difference between morning and evening, so remember to bring a light jacket
Lugu Lake truly lives up to its name as a pearl of the plateau. Its waters are crystal clear, a vibrant blue like a piece of warm jade. The Goddess Gemu Mountain serenely embraces the lake, while traditional wooden boats float gently on its surface. The Walking Marriage Bridge and Lover's Beach each possess their own unique charm, creating a soothing and tranquil landscape. We slowed down and strolled around the lake, enjoying the breeze and watching the clouds drift across its surface. Away from the hustle and bustle, we felt incredibly relaxed. We also experienced a bonfire party, immersing ourselves in the simple and honest customs of the Mosuo people. The scenic area is well-managed, with excellent ecological protection and a moderate level of commercialization, avoiding excessive noise. It's perfect for relaxing with friends, taking photos, and was the most delightful surprise of our Yunnan trip – definitely worth a special trip.
M25***15Mount Gemu, at over 3700 meters above sea level, rises more than 1300 meters from the lake surface, making it highly recognizable on the shores of Lugu Lake. Its unique shape and panoramic views from the summit offer breathtaking vistas of the entire lake. The cable car ride down offers a direct view of Lugu Lake, making it a must-see landmark. However, the cable car is open-air with a significant drop, so it might not be suitable for those with a fear of heights.
海底小纵队呱唧Of the villages circling the lake, Daluoshui Village has the most developed accommodation and dining options and boasts beautiful scenery. The Lugu Lake Bus Station and the Daluoshui Village boarding point, Zashidel Guesthouse, are both nearby. There are many lake-view rooms available, and the price is reasonable. It's a nice place to get up early and relax on the lakeside boardwalk, soaking up the sun.
人生就是修行-止踏入格姆女神山景区，就仿佛走进了一个神秘而美丽的世界。从山脚下仰望，格姆女神山高耸入云，巍峨壮丽，灰白色的山体在阳光照耀下闪耀着独特的光芒，与周围翠绿的植被相互映衬，宛如一幅天然的山水画卷。 乘坐索道上山是一次令人难忘的体验。索道全长1500米，缓缓上升的过程中，仿佛是在慢慢揭开这座神山的神秘面纱。上行时可以看到茂密的原始森林，阳光透过树叶的缝隙洒下，形成一片片金色的光斑，偶尔还能看到野生猕猴、锦鸡、松鼠等野生动物在林间穿梭，充满了生机与活力。 到达山顶后，眼前的景色令人陶醉。站在泸沽湖全景观景台上，俯瞰整个泸沽湖，湖水清澈碧绿，宛如一颗巨大的蓝宝石镶嵌在群山之中。湖面上波光粼粼，远处的岛屿星罗棋布，形态各异，里格岛、蛇岛等尽收眼底，湖边的尼塞村、小落水村等村落错落有致，构成了一幅如诗如画的美景。 格姆女神洞也是不容错过的景点。洞口面向泸沽湖，站在洞口的观景台上，视野十分开阔。进入洞内，彩色的灯光将钟乳石映照得光怪陆离，仿佛进入了一个梦幻般的地下宫殿。在洞内，还能看到摩梭人供奉的格姆女神像，感受到他们对女神的崇敬之情。 除了自然景观，格姆女神山还承载着丰富的文化内涵。每年农历七月二十五的转山节，摩梭人都会身着盛装，登上格姆女神山，烧香磕头，悬挂经幡，敬献供品，祈求女神保佑家人健康、幸福、平安。 不过，格姆女神山也存在一些有待提升的地方。比如，景区的基础设施还可以进一步完善，山上的休息设施和餐饮服务相对较少，在旅游旺季时，可能会给游客带来一些不便。

chen7711If you want to get close to nature and have an in-depth tour, it is recommended to carpool to the lake and take a pig trough boat to experience it. It is suitable for parents, couples, and friends to come and play to forget the troubles of the city and calm the heart. The temperature difference between morning and evening is very large, so be careful not to get heatstroke. You can eat the local specialty steamed fish, which is amazing. It is worth a visit.
M39***70The Rig Peninsula is famous for its clear lake, surrounding green mountains and tranquil environment, especially at sunrise and sunset, the scenery is particularly charming. Visitors can gain an in-depth understanding of the cultural traditions and lifestyle of this matriarchal society. There are many homestays and hotels on the island for tourists to choose from, many of which are water-friendly buildings, providing a good viewing experience. It is relatively quiet and suitable for those who want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and find tranquility. Although the transportation is slightly more inconvenient than that of Daluoshui Village, other attractions can still be easily reached by charter, bicycle or electric car. In addition to sightseeing, you can also participate in bonfire parties, cruises, hiking and other activities. In general, Rig Island (Peninsula) is a very suitable place for seeking natural beauty and cultural experience, especially for tourists who like quietness and want to experience the local culture in depth.
揽月踏山河I just happened to pass by and went to see it. I didn't expect there would be a fee. I thought I would pay to go in and see it since I was here. It was really good after watching it! Compared with the current patriarchal social structure, the Mosuo matriarchal society is more harmonious and friendly. I started to be a little interested in the Mosuo people. I plan to go back and watch the documentary to make up for it~
周某人1234Your graduation trip - Come to Lugu Lake to experience the pig trough boat Many friends will arrange Dali or Lijiang when designing graduation trips.

What should you pay attention to when riding a pig trough boat? 👍When: The pig trough boat in the early morning is the choice of many people, because you can sit on the pig trough boat to the east to watch the sunrise of Lugu Lake. 👍Where: Where can you do a pig trough boat? Many people will recommend you to go to Lige or Daluoshui. In fact, there are many places, whether it is Caohai or Puluo Wharf. 👍How: How to make a pig trough boat is actually a problem. Many people will worry about being cheated or being cheated. In fact, the scale has been formed there, and there are special personnel management. Everyone only needs to wear a life jacket when boarding the boat, and bring some bread and other food. There are many seagulls on the boat.
山在穷游This is a relatively interesting thing. The scenery is superb. This is the only interesting thing to go to Lugu Lake. There is really no need to go to other places. For example, Lover's Island, Caohai, Walking Marriage Bridge, Mosuo Village. There is really no need to go. Especially the Mosuo Village, telling stories and selling silverware. It's a waste of time.
