Puzhu Villa of Lugu Lake is nestled in the middle section of the lakeshore in the ancient Mosuo village of Daluoshui — the liveliest spot in the scenic area, yet just a few steps away from the lakeshore. Open the window, and the rippling blue waves come right into view.
Getting around is perfectly convenient: a 3-minute walk takes you into the warmth of bonfire parties and the bustle of the food street; in 5 minutes, you can reach Daluoshui Wharf to explore the lake on a traditional pig trough boat; it’s a 10-minute walk to the passenger station or airport bus stop, and for drivers, the free parking lot is just 5 minutes away. If you’re heading to Lige Viewing Platform, it’s only a 20-minute drive.
Every lake-view room is designed for enjoying the lake: huge floor-to-ceiling windows with an independent lake-view balcony offer an unobstructed 180-degree view of the lake, letting you take in both the softness and grandeur of Mount Gemu. Watch the plateau sunrise leap over the lake in the morning, and sleep under a sky full of stars at night. Thoughtful details fill the room: independent air conditioning, smart toilets, electric curtains, and a scenic bathtub, paired with high-end mattresses and linens. Disposable toilet covers, bathtub covers, and premium toiletries, along with a strict one-change-per-guest policy and full WiFi coverage, cater to every need with care.
The public areas are a world of comfort: in the spacious courtyard, you can sit around sipping tea and chatting; the lake-view lobby connects to a folk music lounge, where you can order a coffee or tea, read, daydream, or admire the view as time drifts by.
All your expectations for Lugu Lake will come true here: in summer, watch water lilies (Nymphoides peltata) carpet the lake; in winter, enjoy the morning mist hovering over the water and feed seagulls skimming the surface. Look up at the cloudless blue sky and white clouds of the plateau, free from any pollution, and escape the hustle and bustle of the world. Listen to the legendary stories of the Mosuo people. In this magical place, we look forward to meeting you.
"## Prime Location, Super Convenient for Getting Around
This guesthouse is perfectly situated in Daluoshui Village, Lugu Lake. It's just a few minutes' walk to the lakeside, making it incredibly convenient for dining, shopping, and boat rides. Plus, they offer a free shuttle service. On the day we arrived, the driver contacted us in advance and helped with our luggage every step of the way – a real blessing for independent travelers!
## Breathtaking Views, Like Living in a Painting
We booked a garden view room, and stepping out, we were greeted by the deep blue lake and distant mountains. We watched the sunrise in the morning, the sunset in the evening, and could even admire the stunning lake and mountain scenery from our bed. No filters needed for photos – it was so beautiful, we didn't want to leave!
## Attentive Service, Zaxi Gets Full Marks!
The front desk staff, Zaxi, was incredibly warm and patient. He proactively introduced us to local attractions, advising us on which places were worth spending more time on and how to avoid tourist traps. Following his recommendations, we visited several lesser-known viewpoints, which were less crowded and even more stunning than what we found in guidebooks!
## Minor Drawback
The room size is indeed on the smaller side. If you prioritize spaciousness, you might want to consider booking a larger room type."
