Travel Guide Lugu Lac Lake

Lake Lugu extends to the border between Yunnan Province and Sichuan, 300 km from Lijiang. Stretching around 50 km ², the lake attracts more and more tourists who come to spend one to two days on its banks. Perched at more than 2,600 m above sea level, this freshwater lake offers many landscapes according to seasons. The Mosuo people are located in the region, its villages scattered around the lake. This people, a sub-branch of the Naxi, have singular traditions that, unfortunately, tourist development is gradually diminishing. Several small islands are scattered on the lake, accessible through the barks rented by the villagers. One of them has a mill: You'll be able to listen to monks in the sutras.
