The most impressive city lakes are Wuhan East Lake, Hangzhou West Lake, Nanjing Xuanwu Lake, but although the mountain lakes have been to Tibet seven times, the most favorite is Lugu Lake in Yunnan. It has beautiful natural beauty and mysterious. Humanistic mystery.

Presumably all people who have been to Lugu Lake have heard of the Marriage Clan and the Mosuo people. They are known as the “last matrilineal clan in the world”, and some people compare them to the “daughter country.”

For a long time, the female culture has been washing away the threat of cultural erosion with a wise mind and a powerful body. Under the impact of this modern civilization, there is also such a mystery that makes the beauty of Lugu Lake exude a unique charm. The marriage bridge with a vicissitudes of history has attracted countless tourists to this day.

I have been here twice, once in late autumn and once in early autumn. I have a good relationship with the autumn of Lugu Lake. When the mountains and rivers merge, the ancient humanities naturally derive. The arrival of autumn symbolizes the maturity of fruits, the harvest of farmland, and the cohesion of culture.

Lugu Lake was called “Lukuhaizi” in ancient times. The magical Mosuo language of Naxi people always makes people curious. In their language, “Lugu Lake” means the lake in the ravine, and is their “mother lake”. Known as the “Penglai Wonderland”, it also has such nicknames as “the pearl of the plateau”, “a pure land in northwestern Yunnan”, and “the first wonderland in the East”.

This ravine lake connects Yunnan and Sichuan, but the culture of the mysterious daughter country does not divide the monument boundary, and the traditional life of the Mosuo people is still a place that travelers and explorers yearn for.

Even if today’s Lugu Lake has become a very mature and commercial tourist attraction, people’s curiosity about that culture is still full of freshness.

On the shore of Lugu Lake, there are not only Mosuo people, but also 7 ethnic groups including Yi, Pumi, and Mongolian. Among them, only the Mosuo people make Lugu Lake more and more magical.

The sun and the moon rotate, and everything is broken into three thousand dusts in the sky and earth, and the most pure touch falls into a bay of blue lake. When the dust settles, that bay of lake is the Lugu Lake that the world yearns for.

Lugu Lake stretches from north to west to southeast. It is 9.5 kilometers long from north to south, 5.2 kilometers wide from east to west, and its shoreline is about 44 kilometers long. It was selected as the best leisure tourism destination in China National Tourism in 2018.

In autumn, Lugu Lake is more charming. Just like the Mosuo people who have no words and take Daba culture as their culture, the beautiful scenery and rich legendary style are full of mystery. Locke, the captain of the American expedition, once expressed his heartfelt admiration, saying, “This is a place suitable for gods to live.”

Standing on the mountainside, the jewel-like Lugu Lake gradually deepens in the autumn colors, integrating the landscape culture of “one lake and two provinces” with a calm oil painting tone. If I have the opportunity, I will choose to come again in the fall.

I remember when I came to Lugu Lake for the first time, the mountain mist enveloped the lake in the morning, and the small island was floating on the calm lake like a boat. At that time, there were no particularly noisy people. The quietness and simplicity of the surroundings made me unable to believe Yunnan There is such a wonderland.

If only the scenery is used to describe Lugu Lake, it is more beautiful than it, but no other lake has the ancient and mysterious Mosuo culture like it.

Although the Mosuo people have no words, their traditional life is a cultural history. Because of their cultural multiplication, the mountains and rivers are more beautiful and full of vitality, making Lugu Lake so unique. When people use Sichuan and Yunnan to distinguish a bay of lake water, in fact, the flow of culture and water is closer than that of humans.

Immersive, the water and the sky are the same color, the pig trough boats slowly gliding on the blue waves and the Mosuo folk songs slowly floating between the water and the sky make it more simple and quiet.

In Lugu Lake quietly changing their colors with the changing of the seasons, people look forward to the forests of the mountain lakes, while the Mosuo marriage customs and ancient civilization are silently integrated into this landscape.

There are many ancient myths, long historical monuments and mysterious humanities hidden on the shores of Lugu Lake and on various small islands, such as Liwubi Island, Rock Island (Snake Island, because the American botanist Dr. Locke once lived here In 8 years, the relationship with the Mosuo people was very good. Later, people called Snake Island “Rock Island”);

Luoshui Temple, Daluoshui Village (one of the must-visit places for most tourists), Lige Village, Lige Peninsula, Zuoming Bridge (the only bridge on Lugu Lake), Xiaoluoshui Village (the last place beside Lugu Lake in Yunnan) A village), Goddess Gem Mountain and so on.

These places not only have profound history and culture, ancient magical folk customs, but also beautiful scenery of mountains and lakes, attracting a large number of tourists, and they have become the first choice for many variety shows.
