Introduction
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The beauty of the sunrise over Lugu Lake lies in the interweaving and changes between light and shadow. When the first ray of sunlight penetrates the clouds and shines on the lake, the entire lake surface seems to be coated with a layer of gold, sparkling and beautiful. As one of the boundaries of Lugu Lake, Luowa Peninsula is an ideal place to watch the sunrise. Here, tourists can feel the shock and beauty of the moment when the sun shines on the lake at close range. Rig Observation Deck is also a good place to watch the sunrise over Lugu Lake. Standing on the observation deck, you can overlook the beauty of the entire Lugu Lake and take in the magnificent sunrise.

Please, Lugu Lake! The pitfalls I've encountered, may others avoid them!

Please, Lugu Lake! The pitfalls I've encountered, may others avoid them!

From Dali to Lugu Lake, the journey is long, but the 85 yuan bus fare and the more than four hours of travel time are made worthwhile by the upcoming beautiful scenery. As you approach, the 70 yuan ticket fee is a small tribute to this paradise. 🚌🎫 During the trip, a bag of sunflower seeds, some snacks, and fruits are the best companions to pass the time. You'll find that time flies by as you enjoy the food along the way. 🌻 Upon arriving at Lugu Lake, it's like being in a small town abroad, with its unique architectural style and relaxed pace of life. Especially the misty beauty of the morning, which is refreshing and uplifting. 🏞 The hotel where I stayed has an endless lake view right outside the door, which made me instantly forget about Erhai Lake. The waffles and coffee by the sea during afternoon tea time are a new experience in my life. ☕ The facilities in the room, from the swing chair on the sea-view balcony to the bed on the second floor, to the projector and large bathtub in the living room, every detail shows the hotel's thoughtfulness. 🏠 The sofa by the window on the first floor and the large floor-to-ceiling windows in the corridor are great places for taking photos. And the two cats raised by the hotel add a touch of warmth to the trip. 📷🐱 During the Dragon Boat Festival at Lugu Lake, you can also feel the atmosphere of the traditional festival. The zongzi, rice noodle platter, and small desserts prepared by the hotel, each bite is a tribute to deliciousness. 🥢 When checking out, the free shuttle service provided by the hotel's young man made me deeply appreciate the enthusiasm and thoughtfulness of the people of Lugu Lake. The warm-heartedness of the 18 kilometers back and forth for a 9-kilometer distance filled me with gratitude for this trip. 🚗 Lugu Lake Anxia Holiday Hotel, a place that makes me linger and forget to return. If you also plan to come to Lugu Lake, be sure not to miss this place. The address is on Hubin Road, Daluoshui Village, Ninglang Yi Autonomous County, Lijiang City, waiting for you to explore!

A hidden winter wonderland awaits you!

A hidden winter wonderland awaits you!

Lugu Lake: A dreamlike winter wonderland, a two-day travel guide When the cold wind blows, Lugu Lake is like a pearl, exuding irresistible charm, and becoming a dream destination for travelers. 1. Itinerary Day 1: Lijiang - Daluoshui Village - Liwubi Island - Lige Peninsula - Caohai Depart from Lijiang and head to Lugu Lake. The 3-4 hour drive is full of winding roads, but the scenery outside the window is like a visual feast. Arrive at Daluoshui Village, where you can take a boat to Liwubi Island. The island is quiet and peaceful, as if time has stopped. Then head to Lige Peninsula, a small island that seems to gently embrace Lugu Lake. The scenery at the lake bay is like a natural landscape painting. At sunset, walk into Caohai. In autumn and winter, Caohai is like a golden ocean, with waves of grass swaying in the breeze. Various rare animals play among the grass, adding vitality to this golden world. Day 2: Langfang Pier/Puluo Pier/Guandi Flower Sea Pier Morning Mist - Sanjia Village - Lijiang In the morning, take a boat at Langfang Pier, Puluo Pier, or Guandi Flower Sea Pier, and sail through the morning mist. The mist on the lake and the flying seagulls create a stunning visual spectacle, reminiscent of the mysterious fairyland of Iceland. When the sun penetrates the mist, head to Sanjia Village. The golden reeds and green ginkgo trees on the shore intertwine. Walk along the lake shore, let the warm sunshine fall on you, and enjoy the tranquility and beauty of Lugu Lake. 2. Travel Tips If you have more than 4 days in Lijiang, be sure to spend two days at Lugu Lake. Compared to Erhai Lake in Dali, Lugu Lake is less noisy and more primitive, allowing you to truly return to nature and find inner peace. We recommend staying at Lugu Lake Manchen Holiday Inn, which is only a 5-minute drive from Langfang Pier. The inn offers convenient transportation services, allowing you to easily explore the beauty of the morning mist. In the morning, you can enjoy the sunrise over Gemu Goddess Mountain from the comfort of your bed. The inn has underfloor heating, and you can enjoy dinner and breakfast in your room, allowing you to enjoy a relaxing holiday without leaving your room. The temperature difference between day and night at Lugu Lake is large, especially when watching the morning mist. Be sure to wear a thick down jacket. During the day, you can wear autumn clothes and enjoy the charming scenery of Lugu Lake.

Lugu Lake Hotel| How to choose between Qian Ji Shan and Xu Jiu Shan Hai Shi

Lugu Lake Hotel| How to choose between Qian Ji Shan and Xu Jiu Shan Hai Shi

Lugu Lake Hotel| How to choose between Qian Ji Shan and Xu Jiu Shan Hai Shi? I stayed at Lugu Lake for 2 nights, and I was very entangled in choosing a hotel. It was either Qian Ji Shan or Xu Jiu Shan Hai Shi, because both were TOP3. In the end, I saw that the distance was less than 500 meters, so I decided to experience each one night. Here are some references for you based on my personal feelings. 💎Room comparison: The Qian Ji Shan I stayed in this time was the Ji Ze Lake View King Room, the room was 60 square meters, very spacious, on the third floor, the view was completely unobstructed, I liked the windows of this room the most, the lake view was absolutely beautiful. Xu Jiu lived in the Old Man Comes, the bed was facing the window, which was very good, but the room was only 46 square meters, relatively crowded, the floor was on the 2nd floor, the view was slightly obstructed, there was a balcony so there were folding doors instead of direct glass windows. The interior decoration of the room is more tasteful in Xu Jiu, but from the room type, I personally prefer the Ji Ze Lake of Qian Ji Shan. 💎Public area: The public terrace of Qian Ji Shan is larger, and there are relatively more places for shooting. Xu Jiu's terrace is smaller, but I prefer the view from Xu Jiu's terrace, and Xu Jiu's hall is the restaurant, sitting inside and looking out the window is also very comfortable, so I stayed there for 2 more hours after checking out on the last day, although I didn't take many pictures. 💎Food This time I only experienced the breakfast and afternoon tea of the two hotels, and did not dine in the hotel. If the previous two dimensions have their own advantages and disadvantages, Xu Jiu wins my heart in terms of dining, whether it's the breakfast rice noodles with vegetables or the afternoon tea category, they are more thoughtful. 💎Souvenirs I'm not sure if it's the same for everyone. Qian Ji Shan gave dried apples and some rose buckwheat tea, but they were all packed in cowhide bags, which were easy to leak. If there were small bottles, it would be more intimate. Xu Jiu gave a box of Yunnan hand-brewed hanging ear coffee bags, which also looked very good overall,

Lugu Lake Guide | Is This a Dream or Reality?

Lugu Lake Guide | Is This a Dream or Reality?

|Is this a dream or reality? I stayed at Lugu Lake for four days and saw many beautiful sights. Here are some tips: First, you need to pay CNY 70 to enter the Lugu Lake Scenic Area. Students and seniors pay half price. Morning Mist If you visit in winter, be sure to get up early one day to see the morning mist. It only appears in winter, and it's much more impressive in person than in photos or videos! I recommend renting a boat (2 hours round-trip, CNY 300/boat). The boatman will stop according to your needs! I saw the morning mist twice. The first time, I went to the mountain boardwalk on the Luowa Wharf side and didn't take a boat. I overlooked Princess Island, which is the first stop on the lake tour route. The second time, I took a boat from Langfang Wharf near the hotel. Both experiences were different, but both were impressive! Lake Tour Rent a car to tour the lake. There's no time limit, and you can choose the route. I recommend going down the boardwalk at the Ligge Peninsula Observation Deck. The scenery is beautiful. Next, you can visit Luyuan Cliff and Lover's Beach. You can bring some bread to feed the seagulls. Food Steamed stone pot fish: The soup is milky white and tastes fresh and sweet. Wild mushroom and chicken hot pot, barbecue, water shield, ham, etc. Accommodation The commercial atmosphere is more mature in Daluoshui Village, and it's easy to get a taxi. If you want a quieter place, you can stay near Langfang Village.

| Stay in an oil painting. All the elements of happiness I like 🎨 Floor-to-ceiling windows like an oil painting 🌊 Seagulls flying over the lake 🛁 Bathtub projection Right by Lugu Lake, quiet like an oil painting, the floor-to-ceiling windows in the room are like a picture frame, and I would be sad if any of my friends traveling to Yunnan didn't know about this place 🥹 We arrived late, and the handsome and beautiful butlers were waiting for us. There is a charging pile at the door 🚗. After taking a bath at night, the butler brought us goodnight milk. I lay in bed watching a movie and fell asleep. When I woke up naturally and opened the window, I wanted to cry! Am I in an oil painting? You must come and experience it for yourself!!! 🏠 Lugu Lake Mu Zhi Mu Yu Guesthouse

【Travel】Poetic Lugu Lake, every glance is a landscape oil painting

【Travel】Poetic Lugu Lake, every glance is a landscape oil painting

Sorting through photos, I came across the trip to Yunnan from late spring to early summer last year. The poetic mountains and lakes, the romantic Sichuan-Yunnan culture, once again captivated me. The most impressive was undoubtedly Lugu Lake, like a sapphire fallen into a fairyland. In the refreshing morning, a few people faced the warm sun on a pig trough boat, under the local ballads sung by the paddling sister at the bow, lazily and comfortably gazing at the scenery, scooping up the lake water, every glance seemed like a landscape oil painting. The fiery sunset around the lake in the evening, the ancient and unique stories of the Mosuo people, and the bonfire party, are all beyond words and evoke an endless longing. Even now, a year later, the memory of about a hundred strangers from all over the country dancing around the bonfire is still fresh. It reminds me of a phrase I once read online: If one must wander alone, let it be to Lugu Lake. I wholeheartedly agree! There is no place more suitable than Lugu Lake, because it embodies the essence of 'poetry and distance'.
