Got scammed for 3,000 yuan at Lugu Lake! 😭 Heads up everyone

Folks, I got totally ripped off for 3,000 yuan during my trip to Lugu Lake! On a group tour, the guide took us to a local house where the presenter aggressively pushed "medicinal silver" claiming health benefits. I impulsively bought some, only to find the same silver products online for way cheaper - my heart's bleeding 💔 After this lesson, I've compiled a super detailed Lugu Lake travel guide to help you avoid pitfalls 👇 🚗 Transportation 1. Flight: Direct flights to Ninglang Lugu Lake Airport, then take airport shuttle or taxi to scenic area. 2. Bus: From Lijiang, take special line buses (4-5 hours) or charter a car for more flexibility (slightly pricier). 🏞️ Must-visit spots 1. Lige Peninsula: Iconic heart-shaped landmark, stunning sunrise views - wake up early! 2. Grass Sea & Zuohun Bridge: Gorgeous wetland scenery, the bridge symbolizes Mosuo walking marriage culture - great photo ops. 3. Goddess Bay: Best sunset viewing spot with breathtaking orange-red lake reflections. 4. Gemu Goddess Mountain: Cable car to summit for panoramic views, plus mysterious Goddess Cave. 🍱 Food recommendations 1. Pork Fat Meat: Traditional Mosuo dish - fatty yet not greasy, super fragrant. 2. Water Snowflake Soup: Tender texture, refreshing taste. 3. Mosuo Baba: Sweet or savory fried bread - perfect crispy breakfast. 💡 Scam prevention tips 1. Beware "medicinal silver": No silver mines at Lugu Lake - don't buy overpriced "health" silver products. 2. Choose group tours carefully: Pick licensed agencies, review contracts to avoid forced shopping. 3. Watch pricing: Some scenic area items are overpriced - compare before buying.
