Lijiang Non-Fan City Hotel is surrounded by four buildings, with a square patio in the middle, which is very large, and its second floor is overhead with tempered glass, and there are sofas, coffee tables, etc. on the glass. Taste tea, drink coffee, chat, plan your itinerary to Lugu Lake, and before you know it, half a day has passed.

Lugu Lake was known as Luku Haizi in ancient times, also known as Zuosuohai, Lede Sea, and Luku Lake. It is located between Yanyuan County, Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province and Ninglang Yi Autonomous County, Lijiang City, Yunnan Province. Known as the "Pearl of the Plateau", the lake is surrounded by green mountains, the shore of the lake is winding and cove-like, and the islands in the lake have different shapes, which is a paradise in the dreams of countless travelers.

After lunch, check out and depart, Go straight to Lugu Lake.

DAY16: Lijiang - Lugu Lake Liangsu Viewing Inn Liangsu Liangsu Viewing Inn

Liangjiang to Lugu Lake is about 200 kilometers, most of which are mountain roads, and there is snow on some backing sunny slopes, and it took us four hours.

Not long after departure, we arrived at Lining Eighteen Bay. Since "A Thousand Miles of Walking Alone" was filmed here, this place has become a scenic spot on the way from Lijiang to Lugu Lake. The ticket for the upper observation deck is 5 yuan per person.

Now I don't have to go through these eighteen bays in the past, and the mountain road on the right is easier to walk and much closer.

From Lijiang to the Lugu Lake Scenic Area, the ticket office is located on the mountain behind Sanjia Village, there are large open spaces on both sides of the ticket gate to park, and about 100 meters walk is the second attraction on the way from Lijiang to Lugu Lake, Lugu Lake Observation Deck, where you can see the panoramic view of Lugu Lake.

After descending the mountain, Go directly to Daluoshui Village and stay at the Liangsu Observation Inn.

Liangsu has a variety of fresh dishes, tourists can choose according to their own preferences, and the level of the chef is also good, and the color and fragrance are good.

There is also a home theater on the first floor, with a large projector, which works well. We chose a "Chinese Captain" and enjoyed it while having dinner, which felt great.

From the corridor on the first floor, you can go to the lake in thirty or forty meters, and it is very convenient to walk and watch.

DAY17 : Lugu Lake Tour

Sleep late, get up late, combine breakfast and lunch, and go to Sanjia Village to eat chicken.

This restaurant in Sanjia Village is very distinctive, with more than a dozen pots built horizontally and vertically in the greenhouse. The greenhouse is used as a restaurant, and the pot table is used as a dining table. The guests sat around the pot, and there were many side dishes in the pot besides chicken, and the diners took their own favorites.

The boss is very capable, and it takes less than half an hour from the time the guest picks the chicken in the chicken coop to the time it starts eating. Chicken selection, slaughtering, processing, potting, the whole process, full openness, a real bright stove and bright kitchen.

From Sanjia Village to the Langfang area, all the buildings along the lake have been demolished, and all kinds of building materials are piled up on both sides of the road. Entering Sichuan, their villages are neat and orderly, with consistent tones, and they have better maintained the tourism characteristics of the scenic spot. In terms of environmental protection, Sichuan is at the forefront, and Yunnan needs to make up for this lesson.

The

wedding bridge is located in Sichuan on the shore of Lugu Lake, and is a long wooden bridge that Mosuo people used to pass through to go to the woman's house in the middle of the night to get married.

The sea of grass is also walking on the Marriage Bridge, which is a wetland with a large area of grass in the shoals of Lugu Lake.

Goddess Bay: Formerly known as Zhaojiawan, there is only one family with the surname Zhao. Zhaojiawan is facing the Goddess Mountain of Gemu, and at the end of the highway, it is the most peaceful village on the shore of Lugu Lake.

Wakua Lover's Beach, Near Wakua Wharf, Yanyuan County, Sichuan.

Da Luoshui: Luoshui Village is located in Lijiang, Lugu Lake, the tip of the land extends to the center of the lake, with the widest view, is the largest and earliest developed Mosuo village in Lugu Lake, and is also the tourism and transportation center of Lugu Lake.Most of the Mosuo wooden houses have been converted into inns, bars or shops.

Rig Island is one of the important attractions But first, the car did not dare to drive, and secondly, it was too late, so I decided to take a pig trough boat to visit Rig Island and Riverby Island tomorrow.

DAY18: Daluoshui Village

. In the morning, I came to the lake alone, although it was beautiful, but Lugu Lake in December was still comfortable in the bed.

At eleven o'clock, we came to the lake, looked at Limubi Island on the opposite side, and slowly walked towards the pier, where there was no one on the pier.

DAY19: Lugu Lake - Dali Xiaguan

Lugu Lake is surrounded by mountains, high mountains, and mountains and rivers. The colorful Gemu Goddess Mountain, the blue Lugu Lake, the hospitable Mosuo people, the beautiful lake and mountains, and the unique folk culture shocked us.

Rig Island, looking forward to seeing you next time.

Lugu Lake to Dali Xiaguan is about 400 kilometers, a total of about 6 hours, and the wind is favorable all the way.
