Lugu Lake Travel Guide

I thought Erhai Lake was already beautiful, but I didn't expect that in autumn, there is a deep blue "sea" at the junction of Sichuan and Yunnan - Lugu Lake. As a result, I posted it on WeChat Moments, and everyone thought I went to Dali Transportation: You can drive there from Xichang, Sichuan, or drive or charter a car from Lijiang and Dali, Yunnan, or fly directly to Lugu Lake Airport from Kunming to experience the blue of Lugu Lake. However, the road condition is bumpy. It only takes 3.5 hours to depart from Lijiang or Dali (it is recommended to take the highway from both places. You can see the Jinsha River on the national highway from Lijiang. The scenery is beautiful, but there are many bays). It takes 5 hours to depart from Xichang Food recommendations: Mosuo cake, steam stone pot fish, wild mushroom hot pot, steam pot chicken, fickle flower, firewood chicken, barbecue... Here are some things you must do when visiting Lugu Lake: Check-in 1. Take a pig trough boat ride on Lugu Lake (see water lilies in summer and morning fog and sunrise in autumn) 2. Enjoy the scenery of Lugu Lake at each viewing platform 3. Walk on the marriage bridge with your loved one 4. Watch the sunset and sunrise 5. Participate in the Mosuo traditional bonfire party Come to Lugu Lake to check in and feel the shocking atmosphere Check in at Observation Deck 1 [Yunnan Entrance Ticket Station Observation Deck], [Lige Peninsula Observation Deck] and [Gem Mountain Observation Deck] are actually three different observation decks. The Gem Mountain Observation Deck is the best of the four viewing spots of Lugu Lake (overlooking the panoramic view of Lugu Lake), and the other two observation decks are the must-see locations for the Lugu Lake promotional video. Check in 2: Pier Every village can take a pig trough boat to tour the lake. In summer, the lake is dotted with water lilies. In the autumn morning, take a boat to watch the sunrise and feed the morning fog. Seagulls are all around your boat. Bring some snacks to feed the seagulls. You can take photos in minutes. Check in 3 Caohai, Marriage Bridge The Walking Marriage Bridge is a wooden bridge connecting Yunnan and Sichuan provinces. It is known as the Magpie Bridge for the Mosuo people’s walking marriage. There are large areas of reeds in Caohai, and a wooden plank road crosses the lake, stretching across the area! Check in 4 Lover's Beach In summer, Lover's Beach is full of Gesang flowers. In autumn, Lover's Beach is full of birds and seagulls. When the weather is good, the lake is as clear as a mirror and it is a great place to take photos. Play + Out for Color Check in 5 Bonfire Party There is a bonfire party almost every day. At 7:40, locals start singing and dancing. Everyone can join in and hold hands to dance the jiacuo dance. It is very joyful. ★ Tips: The ultraviolet rays in Lugu Lake are very strong, please bring sunscreen It is often windy in Lugu Lake and the temperature is relatively low.
