Is there a place that haunts you?

Is there a place you must go to in your life?

Not for fame, not for gorgeousness, but for the peace of the soul.

Lugu Lake, that dream-like place, is exactly what I yearn for.

She is located between Ninglang County, Lijiang City, Yunnan Province and Yanyuan County, Sichuan Province, and is jointly governed by the two provinces. Because of the long distance and limited transportation, there are relatively few tourists who can see its style, and because of this, Lugu Lake is more pure.

The Naxi Mosuo people live on the shore of Lugu Lake, where the marriage is unique, the customs are strange, and the heads of the family are all women, and it is a social system that still maintains a matrilineal clan to this day. Among the family members, the grandparents only have the maternal grandmother and her siblings, and the mother only has the mother, uncle and aunt.

Here, everything is so magical, every etiquette, every custom, is full of reverie, mysterious and romantic.

People who are busy in the city always have to find their own tranquility, and when they come here, their hearts will slowly calm down, involuntarily integrate into it, and enjoy a lazy time.

It's a place away from the hustle and bustle of the city, where people and nature blend in. Surrounded by green mountains and blue waves, there is a beautiful scenery as far as the eye can see.

The water of Lugu Lake is clear and blue, and at this moment, the lake is blooming with white and elegant flowers, like waves rippling on the lake, which is the legendary "water-based poplar flower".

When you sit on the pig trough boat and row across the lake, white flowers bloom around you, with the water waves rising and falling, looking at each other from afar, thinking that the stars are scattered in the world.

As

far as the eye can see, when your gaze rests on the highest point, there is the majestic Goddess Mountain of Gem. In Mosuo mythology and legend, this mountain is the embodiment of the goddess Gem, mysterious and holy. Climbing this mountain, you can get a glimpse of the whole picture of Lugu Lake, and the scenery is beautiful.

The Rig Peninsula is the most popular place for photographers, and she is like a pearl lost by the gods, embedded on the shores of Lugu Lake. Wandering on Rigg Island, the distracting thoughts in my heart have been blown away by the gentle wind here, enjoying the unique scenery, and my heart is clear.

If you want to watch the quiet sunset on the plateau, Goddess Bay is the best place, find an open place, lie in the mountains and rivers and wait for night to fall, the sun gradually becomes gentle.

Of course, when you come to Lugu Lake, you must take a walk on the wedding bridge. The marriage bridge, also known as the world's first love magpie bridge, is a Mosuo person living in a matrilineal family, and still pursues the marriage custom of "men do not marry, women do not marry". This wooden bridge spanning the grass sea and connecting the villages on both sides of the strait is more than 300 meters long, providing a convenient passage for the "Axia" who "goes to marriage". Walking hand in hand with your beloved, even if you are silent, even if you have a lot of styles.

In Lugu Lake, stroll around the lake and find inner peace.
