From Lijiang to Lugu Lake, there is a viewing platform just after entering the ticket gate of Lugu Lake Yunnan Scenic Area. It is the best place to view and take pictures of the panoramic view of Lugu Lake. Generally, tourists drive from Lijiang and arrive here as soon as they enter the gate. The view here is very wide, and you can see the blue lake, the blue sky, the lakeshore surrounded by green trees, and the beautiful Lige Peninsula.
The Lugu Lake Panoramic Observation Deck at the ticket station is definitely the best vantage point for viewing the entire view of Lugu Lake. Under the warm winter sun at noon, the entire lake surface becomes azure blue. The small island in the lake and the Goddess Mountain in the distance are guarding this beautiful time together. Let us bid farewell to Lugu Lake in this beautiful scenery!
From the Yunnan side, you can enjoy a panoramic view of Lugu Lake. You can stop here when entering Lugu Lake from the Yunnan side. The best time to watch is in the morning. If you want to watch the sunset of Lugu Lake, you have to choose the evening.
Here you can see the panoramic view of Lugu Lake, but unfortunately the weather was bad when I went there, so I missed the best weather for viewing. I have always wanted to see Lugu Lake under a clear sky, with the azure blue lake and the blue sky complementing each other. That is what I think is the best view of Lugu Lake, but it is a pity, but it is still beautiful. Of course, the Kingdom of Daughters in the rain also has a different flavor.

Lugu Lake Observation Deck is located near the ticket office at the main entrance of Lugu Lake Scenic Area.
At the entrance of Lugu Lake Scenic Area, tourists need to get off the bus and buy tickets. Adult tickets are 70 yuan, which can be purchased at the vending machine at the gate. After buying the ticket, it takes about 5 minutes to walk to the Lugu Lake Observation Deck. This observation deck is where you can see the panoramic view of Lugu Lake, but because it is close to the gate of the scenic area, there are a lot of tourists here.
I think this viewing platform is the second most beautiful viewing platform in the entire Lugu Lake. The most beautiful viewing platform is the Lige viewing platform.
Arriving at the Lugu Lake Observation Deck, I felt like I had truly arrived at Lugu Lake. At first glance, I saw the silky water. Lugu Lake is not only clear, but also beautiful and graceful. Surrounded by mountains, it is like a fairyland, with islands and embankments appearing and disappearing. The lakeshore is winding and graceful, stretching out in a winding way. Countless large and small alluvial beaches provide a natural place for tourists to rest and play. The mountains here are surrounded by clouds and dreams; the water here is full of spring.
The viewing platform is in almost the same location. It was cloudy and rainy on the first day, and I felt regretful that I couldn't see the beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains on a sunny day. On the second day, it suddenly cleared up before leaving, and I hurried to the viewing platform to take another photo as a souvenir. Lugu Lake is crystal clear under the sun, and the viewing platform is indeed worthy of the title of "the most beautiful". Although it is the off-season for tourism, there are still many tourists, especially the uncles and aunts in the tour groups. The fighting power of squeezing in the car on weekdays is off the charts again. It is basically a luxury to want to quietly take a picture of the scenery you like, and you should be thankful if you don't take photos of other people's heads. On the roadside leading to the viewing platform, there are locals selling fruits (apples?). I have personally tested that the taste is okay, about 10 yuan a bag~
It’s raining, raining, raining, raining, what can I do about the rain? ? ? ? ? ?

The best place to view the panoramic view and take photos of the sunset
The only way to enter Lugu Lake is to check tickets. It is also the commanding height for viewing Lugu Lake.
A long time ago, a pair of young lovers became immortals, but they could only go to heaven by riding a magical horse. The immortal couple rode the magical horse to the northern Yunnan plateau and were fascinated by the scenery there, so they decided to live there.
The girl was kindhearted, and seeing the local poor people were very pitiful, she reached out to help them, and did not avoid suspicion of gender. As a result, her lover got angry, and after several quarrels, he rode his horse alone and flew into the sky and left her.
At the moment when the divine horse ascended into the sky, the horse's hoof trampled a big hole on the plateau. Unexpectedly, the lover could not return to the human world, and the girl could not go to the sky without the divine horse.
The girl was heartbroken and her tears flowed down to fill the horseshoe pit, thus forming today's Lugu Lake.
tips:
On the way to Lugu Lake Scenic Area, we will pass by the observation deck and the bus will stop to let everyone check in at the observation deck.
It has to be said that the observation deck is an excellent location to enjoy the entire view of Lugu Lake.
Lugu Lake is so beautiful on a sunny day. The key point is that it must be a sunny day! The original picture is taken directly from the mobile phone. In fact, it is more beautiful when you see it with your own eyes.
Lugu Lake Tour Suggestions
You must go around the lake, because the scenery of Lugu Lake is basically within the circle around the lake.
In fact, electric cars are the best way to travel around the lake, but the Lugu Lake Scenic Area completely prohibits the rental of electric cars.
Reason: Safety issues
Some tourists rode while enjoying the scenery, and because they were unfamiliar with the road conditions and poorly controlled speed on the slopes and sharp turns of the mountain roads, many accidents occurred.
Therefore, electric vehicles are not allowed to be rented in Lugu Lake Scenic Area.
At least in Daluoshui Village where I live, there are no electric bikes for rent, only bicycles for rent, which cost 30 yuan a day.
But when I arrived at Rige Village by bike, I found that there were electric bikes for rent in Rige Village.
1. If you often ride an electric bike, you can consider renting an electric bike for 100 yuan per day. If you don’t ride it often, you should not rent it. After all, life safety comes first.
2. Bicycle around the lake: usually 30 yuan/day. If you don’t go to Zhaojiawan, the whole journey will take about eight or nine hours.
3. Hiking around the lake: It takes three days. On the first day, go from Daluoshui to Lige and stay in Lige. On the second day, go from Lige to Luowa, where you can see the Princess Island up close. On the third day, go from Luowa to Fangfang and back to Daluoshui Village.
4. Charter or carpool around the lake: suitable for those who have no time and no energy. You can make a reservation online or consult the inn owner.
Lugu Lake is really beautiful. Although the drive to Lugu Lake is long, it is worth it to see this scene. It is really beautiful.
I didn't see much scenery when I arrived at the observation deck that night, but it was very beautiful there at night, full of stars, and the phone couldn't take pictures of them.
This is definitely the most beautiful viewing platform in Lugu Lake!
It's very beautiful, but it's crowded, it's hard to take a half-length photo
Compared with the previous Lugu Lake, it should be renovated now. Tickets are sold at the gate, 70 yuan per person, half price for those aged 60-70, free for those aged 70 and above. After entering the gate of Lugu Lake, don't rush to drive in. Be sure to go to the observation deck first, and you can see the Goddess Gemu Mountain directly.
The first tourist attraction of Lugu Lake, there are many people, and you can see the quiet lake water with clear bottom.
You can see the panoramic view of Lugu Lake here. It is recommended to take a look
Lugu Lake Observation Deck is located on the east bank of Lugu Lake, which is densely covered with vegetation. From here you can have a panoramic view of Lugu Lake, making it the best place to overlook Lugu Lake from afar.
The first sight is super shocking, like a bright painting.
After entering from the entrance, walk along the road to the Lugu Lake Observation Deck
Here you can see the panoramic view of the entire Lugu Lake, the scenery is very beautiful~
It is a place where you can see most of Lugu Lake. The scenery is really beautiful, with cool breeze, birds flying, and small boats. It is a fairyland!!!
The lake is really stunning. It is so beautiful. The morning sun shines on the lake. There is no wind. It is very quiet and beautiful. Here is a panoramic photo. I am intoxicated.
This is probably the viewing platform with the best view of Lugu Lake, where you can see the whole view of Lugu Lake. Located near the gate of the scenic area
The view is very wide, and it is the best place to take panoramic photos of Lugu Lake. The azure blue water and the lakeside surrounded by green trees look like a fairy's dressing mirror. Unfortunately, it rained all day and the sky was gray, so I couldn't take a good photo of the beauty of Lugu Lake.
You can see most of Lugu Lake here, but the weather was not very good that day, so it was not as amazing as I imagined.
As soon as you enter the ticket square, you can reach the observation deck of Lugu Lake in a few minutes' walk, where you can see the panoramic view of the entire lake. Maybe because it had just snowed, the clouds in the sky were particularly thick, but it was also a unique experience.
The viewing platform is located on the roadside, near the entrance of Lugu Lake Scenic Area, where you can take panoramic photos of Lugu Lake.
Lion Rock, Rig Island and Fallswater Pier all appeared before our eyes, and the reluctance of the last glance turned into anticipation of a reunion.
You can see the whole panorama of Lugu Lake. It is really shocking to see it with your own eyes. It is really like a sapphire inlaid on the ground, just like what others say. It looks very charming and beautiful. If there is no time limit, I really want to take a good look there and take some good photos.
The incredible blue under the clear sky and surrounded by mountains made me doubt what I saw all the time, and I kept telling people around me that the blue was too unreal. You can also overlook the Riger Peninsula from here.
It's super beautiful, every angle is great. The blue sky and white clouds, the clear blue lake come into view
The Yunnan Gate on the mountainside has a large parking lot, which is more than 3,000 meters above sea level. The overpass in the parking lot leads to the viewing platform, and under the bridge is the scenic road. Here you can enjoy the panoramic view of Lugu Lake.
Looking at Lugu Lake from the observation deck, the sunlight shining on the lake is really beautiful.
I hurriedly climbed up to the observation deck, and fortunately, I caught the last few seconds of sunset. It was not a breathtaking scenery, but a rare quiet little beauty.
The best location to enjoy the panoramic view of Lugu Lake, great for taking photos and beautiful scenery.
The first stop after entering the scenic area is the Lugu Lake Observation Deck. The scenery is charming and even better than I imagined. The weather was really good during the days we played there, with clear skies and white clouds floating, which was just right for the scene.
As soon as we arrived at the viewing platform, all of us tourists were shocked. Wow, it was so beautiful. Lugu Lake was like a crystal clear sapphire inlaid in the green mountains. Limited by our camera, the real scenery of Lugu Lake was even more beautiful than the photo.
The observation deck is the best place to view Lugu Lake, and tourists who go to Lugu Lake must go there.
The Lugu Lake seen from the observation deck is as calm as a painting. It is amazing and so beautiful that I am at a loss for words. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful ~~~~~
The panoramic view is really beautiful, but unfortunately there are too many people on the observation deck.
The scenery is beautiful and worth a visit. It is more beautiful when the weather is good.
The viewing platform offers a panoramic view of Lugu Lake. Even though it is covered with dark clouds, I still think it is very beautiful.
You can enjoy the panoramic view of Lugu Lake, a good place for taking photos
The road around the lake here is not always on the edge of Lugu Lake, it may also be on the mountain. This is an excellent viewing platform, and there are people on it to help take pictures. It costs 10 yuan per person, just like Lijiang.
It is quite stunning to enjoy the whole view of Lugu Lake from the observation deck. The clouds in the sky gradually dispersed, revealing the blue sky, which was projected on the lake surface, forming a reflection of the sky, which was very beautiful.
The Lugu Lake is very beautiful under the sun, with sparkling waves and beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains. It is worth enjoying.
The tourist bus stopped briefly at the Lugu Lake Observation Deck. The small observation deck was crowded with people. The view here was broad, with the blue sky and the azure blue sea in full view, and Goddess Mountain in the distance.
The entrance fee to Lugu Lake is 100 yuan per person, which can also be purchased directly here.
Sit down, take in the scenery, take some photos, and upload them directly!
Finally we arrived at the Lugu Lake Panorama Observation Deck, and instantly felt that we were in the right place. It was like a painting, but it was so real. The Lugu Lake under the Goddess Grum Mountain has a sapphire-like luster, which makes people feel calm and peaceful. You won't feel tired of watching it for a long time. It's suffocating, not because of the altitude sickness, but because it's too beautiful, and the water is clear and transparent.
The white dots floating in the water are water lilies. In fact, it is a very romantic and beautiful aquatic plant, and can also be used for cooking. But why does it have such a name?
The beauty of Lugu Lake depends mainly on the weather. In general, the area around Lig Peninsula is more beautiful.
The viewing platform is high, and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery from a distance. It is a good place for photography.
This attraction is located 200 meters behind the ticket office. There is an observation deck and many people take photos. Most of them are group photos.
The toilet there is small, dirty, smelly and the hygiene is very poor.
Located at the Yunnan Ticket Office in Lugu Lake Scenic Area, the ticket office separates people and vehicles. After buying and checking the tickets on foot, you will reach the observation deck where you can see the panoramic view of Lugu Lake.
The lake view from the observation deck is unobstructed. I like it here.
As soon as we arrived at the gate of Lugu Lake Scenic Area, we went to the observation deck to overlook the beautiful scenery of Lugu Lake. If it was a sunny day with no thick clouds, Lugu Lake would be very beautiful. Unfortunately, it rained a little when I went there.
The whole world becomes quiet as you look at the clear lake. Stop and admire it quietly. As night falls, it becomes even quieter, and before you know it, you'll feel the sound of fishing fires on the riverside.
Uncle Mosuo said that the best scenery of Lugu Lake is in Lige, and the most beautiful part of Lige is the peninsula! There is nothing much to say, you have to see it with your own eyes and feel it with your heart.
From Lugu Lake Town towards Daluoshui, after passing Yang Erche Namu’s house is the Lugu Lake Viewing Platform, where you can see the entire Lugu Lake and take photos from classic angles. However, the photos taken here are too similar, but if the weather is good, you should still take some photos as souvenirs.
The lake is surrounded by mountains, and the surface of the lake is very calm, like a fairyland.
There is always a place you will never forget, the Women's Kingdom of Lugu Lake...
This place is not big, so you only need to stay there for about ten minutes. After all, the distance is not close enough and you cannot get close to it.
Any photo you take with your phone looks like a blockbuster. I went there in March 2016. I want to go again.
You can overlook the whole picture of Lugu Lake from a distance. The Lugu Lake seen from a high place is very magnificent, and the whole lake feels still, like a flat cloud in the valley.
It was raining when we arrived at the Lugu Lake Observation Deck. We thought we couldn't see anything, but we got off the bus and followed the crowd to the observation deck. It was full of clouds and mist, and visibility was 0. We could only see the people around us and the trees in the foreground. When we were about to leave, the clouds slowly dissipated, the rain seemed to stop, and the sun came out little by little. It was really unpredictable! We waited (the advantage of traveling independently is that you don't have to rush), and saw the beauty of Lugu Lake.
This viewing platform is the best location to overlook the most beautiful scenery of Lige Peninsula in Lugu Lake, and it is also the best place to take pictures of the Milky Way at night...
There is a stone statue standing on the observation deck. Although I don’t know what its meaning is, the colorful flags hanging on it fluttering in the wind, I guess this is the beauty of faith.
It was rainy on the day I went there, what a pity, if it was sunny it would be a great view
You can see the panoramic view of Lugu Lake from the Lugu Lake Observation Deck. At the first glance, you will be amazed by its blueness. The lake and the sky are one color, which is so mysterious!
The view here is very broad, and the whole lake is in full view. The blue lake, the blue sky, the floating clouds on the horizon, and the lakeshore surrounded by green trees are like a fairy tale world of sapphire. I stayed here for a long time and didn't want to leave. I wanted to take a few more glances. No matter how beautiful the scenery is, there is a time to leave. Goodbye, Lugu Lake, see you next time.
It was still cloudy at the time, so the panoramic view of the entire Lugu Lake from the viewing platform was really average. Friends from other groups even complained: I sat here for more than four hours, just to see this? Isn't this the same as the reservoir over there!!!
Yes, she is right!!!
The picture below is what I have done after adjusting the filter. If you see it in person, it is not as good as this picture. Imagine what we were thinking at that time!!! We were completely deceived by all kinds of publicity. It is completely different from what we see in the videos and pictures!!!
Its beauty cannot be captured by a mobile phone. The weather is very good. From a distance, it looks like a blue gem, quiet and meaningful.
During the break, I couldn't help but go to the observation deck and saw the heart-shaped Rig Peninsula. The sunlight refracted Lugu Lake into different colors, making it look like a sapphire that is hard to let go.
The driver went to get the ticket and we went to take pictures. I like the pavilion and the eaves of the old house very much. I think this is very beautiful.
The only drawback is that there are too many people. There are many spots on the way from the bottom of the mountain to the viewing platform that are suitable for taking photos. The green scenery spreading from the top of the mountain to Lugu Lake is particularly quiet.
The viewing platform is located on the east bank of Lugu Lake, with dense vegetation. From here you can have a panoramic view of Lugu Lake. The viewing platform is the best place to overlook Lugu Lake from afar. The photos taken here are more beautiful than the scenery you see with your own eyes. A couplet on the viewing platform of Lugu Lake highly summarizes the beautiful mountains and rivers, human history, legendary folk customs and the impression it gives to others: When you encounter mountains, water, love, and the fairyland of Lugu Lake, the eternal elegance of the Kingdom of Daughters; forget the scenery, forget the objects, forget yourself, forget the world, and dream of smoke and clouds.
