On April 16th, park the Lugu Lake Scenic Area Observation Deck! The mysterious Lugu Lake is located at the junction of Sichuan and Yunnan and is known as the "Pearl of the Plateau".

The blue water of Lugu Lake is surrounded by mountains! The Mosuo people here are full of mystery. She is like a beautiful jade abandoned in the human world, quietly guarding a pure land. The blue and transparent waters of the lake, the clear blue sky that seems to have been washed, the shores of the lake surrounded by green trees and the villages in the distance can be seen. From above, the lake is calm without a trace of waves, but it is extremely clear, and the goddess of gems lying quietly on the lake, making the whole village look very peaceful.

Sanjia Village, which comes early in the morning, is a small village in the Lugu Lake Scenic Area. Here the people are simple, there are inns, small docks.

The view of the lake is very open, the water and sky are colorful, and it is beautiful to take a photo at the bow of the boat!

If you look at Lugu Lake, your mind is blank, and there is no distraction. Only let the soul enjoy the feeling, feel the beauty given by God, and feel the culture and charm of the Mosuo nation.

We circled the lake counterclockwise, and the transparent lake surface was like a drawing board, painting the stretch of distant mountains, and the beauty of freehand.

There is a stone stele at the head of the Yunnan-Sichuan Friendship Bridge, which is the boundary between Sichuan and Yunnan.

Pictured Yunnan and Sichuan friendship murals.

On the side of the Dianchuan Friendship Bridge Arch is Lugu Lake, which belongs to Yunnan!

After passing the archway, you will enter Lugu Lake in Sichuan.

Passing through the Village of Sheku of the Mosuo people, except for the inn, which sells silver products.

Walking the Marriage Bridge is one of the must-see attractions in Lugu Lake.

According to legend, the Marriage Bridge is a section of wooden bridge that a Mosuo man must cross when he marries his beloved girl.

It should sound like a very romantic and mysterious place, but now you can't feel any Mosuo culture.

The sea of grass around it is very beautiful.

Colorful braids are the specialty here, and I also have a full head of colorful braids! In the small talk, I asked her about the marriage customs here, she said that now rarely get married, marriage is a custom of Mosuo, not what everyone thinks is random, but men and women do not live together after marriage, husbands and wives live in their own homes during the day, when night falls, the husband goes to the wife's house to spend the night, and returns home during the day, each woman only has a fixed husband, so there will not be too many children. Marriage should be the meaning of walking at night and coming back during the day.

Passing by the "Last Princess Mansion", although it is a princess mansion, it is small in scale, with only a small courtyard and a two-story building in the shape of a concave character.

Visit the Mosuo Museum.

At the Mosuo Museum, you can learn about the migration history of the Mosuo people, their festivals, a transformation from a nomadic civilization to an agrarian civilization, their eating habits and living habits, their legends and stories, as well as their famous marriage culture and matriarchal clan society.

Parking behind the parking museum.

I met a beautiful Little Yi girl at the parking place.

The beautiful Lugu Lake has always been the place I want to go, and the Mosuo people here are full of mystery. I have read several books about the Mosuo people and feel that it is an isolated place, a world that has been lost in history.

In the evening, we set off from the museum and walked along the road around the lake, and we all said that Lugu Lake was beautiful and beautiful, which was beyond doubt.

The Marriage Bridge is a place where Mosuo men and women date, and is known as "the world's first Queqiao Bridge". Lugu Lake is famous for its unique Mosuo style and beautiful landscape scenery. But now it is difficult to feel the customs of the Mosuo people.

I am waiting for you in Lugu Lake, I will not leave if you do not come.

This is probably the place where every man is fascinated.

In the evening, there is a song and dance bonfire party next to the parking place.

Continue walking around the lake.

Pass by Lover's Beach in Lugu Lake, Sichuan, which is said to be a photo mecca. The prayer flags by the lake reflect the blue water of the lake, the green mountains, and the trees on the shore, and the picture is beautiful and quiet.

Sichuan Province builds a Mosuo home in an area of 100 square kilometers around Lugu Lake and a core area of 50 square kilometers to protect the Mosuo culture, and builds a more beautiful Lugu Lake for the world.

This family is the inheritor of The Mosuo weaving.

This family is the inheritor of Mosuo carpentry.

This family is the inheritor of the Mosuo people's smiths.

The owner warmly introduced that directly in front of the prayer hall, on the right is the flower building, this is the grandmother's house, Lugu Lake Mosuo people still retain the matriarchal family form, known as the "mysterious daughter country", the mother in the matrilineal family dominates everything, and women have a lofty position in the family.

Pork belly is a symbol of the prosperity of the Mosuo family, and if the shrine cabinet is filled with a whole strip of pork belly, the family must be very rich in the local area.

Pork belly made by the Mosuo people can be left for 30 years.

In Xiaoluoshui Village, it entered Lugu Lake in Yunnan from Lugu Lake in Sichuan.

The highest peak of Lugu Lake should be the Gemu Goddess Mountain, the Mosuo people deified the Gemu Mountain, as the embodiment of women, worship, every year on the 25th day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, the whole people worship the goddess, as a grand festival, has a history of more than a thousand years.

After passing through Li Ge to reach Hongyazi, he met the Lover's Beach in Lugu Lake, Yunnan.

It's actually a small beach, but the lake is crystal clear and there are no pig trough boats.

There are many kinds of flowers blooming on the shore, which is a good place for Internet celebrities to take photos.

Finally, we arrived at the Daluo Water Village Wharf in Lugu Lake.

The lake is beautiful, the boat plays with smoke and waves, and the ripples of the heart are intoxicating.
