Liwubi Island is located in the northwest of Lugu Lake, facing Snake Island. It is the largest island in Lugu Lake. One side of the island is a stalagmite, which becomes a natural dock. A winding path leads directly to the top of the island. There are many azaleas and wild cherry trees beside the road. At the end of the flowers is the Liwubi Temple, a Yellow Sect Lama Temple. The temple was built in 1634 AD and rebuilt in 1989. The temple houses statues of Buddha Sakyamuni, Guanyin, Thousand-armed and Thousand-eyed Buddha, Tsongkhapa, the master of the Gelug Sect of Tibetan Buddhism, and his two disciples, as well as guardian gods. During Tibetan festivals or Buddhist festivals, believers along the lake come here to pray and pay homage. The incense is prosperous and very lively. In addition, there is a white pagoda on the island, which is the spiritual pagoda of Ayunshan, the general manager of Yongning Mosuo Tusi Mansion. Ayunshan was once a well-known Mosuo political figure in Yunnan, Sichuan and Tibet.

Liwubi Island is located in the south-central part of Lugu Lake. It and Tubu Peninsula divide Lugu Lake into two parts. It faces Snake Island in the northwest. It takes about half an hour to get to the island from Luoshui Village. There are stalagmites on one side of the island, which become a natural dock. A winding path leads directly to the top of the island. There are many azaleas and wild cherry trees beside the road. At the end of the flowers is the Tibetan Buddhist temple Liwubi Temple, and there is a white pagoda on the top of the island. Liwubi Island, Shewao Island and Lige Island are collectively known as the Three Penglai Islands of Lugu Lake.
Lugu Lake is definitely worth visiting, not only for its beautiful scenery, but also for its worldview. Especially for young people, it will subvert your views on love and marriage. You will see that the world is diverse, not just one model.
There are many small islands in Lugu Lake. Liwubi Island is just one of the small hills in the lake. There is a road leading to the small temple on the top of the hill. It costs 50 yuan to take a boat to get there. If you want to go around the island, it will cost another 30 yuan.

But I am uneducated, beautiful...
You can take a boat from Daluoshui Village to Liwubi Island, the price is 50 yuan per person.
The east entrance is a service area for entering Lugu Lake. There are many delicious foods around it, such as the local stone pot fish and steam pot chicken, which are very delicious.
I heard that China-TravelNote used my mobile phone pictures as the cover of the scenic spot! I quickly took out my collection of desktop pictures
The scenery is beautiful and breathtaking, making people feel relaxed and happy
The sunrise at Lugu Lake is so beautiful, it's worth getting up early
It is said that Liwubi Island has a history of more than 400 years. It got its name because of the Liwubi Temple on the island. You can take the local pig trough boat to reach the island.
There is a temple on the island, but you can overlook Lugu Lake
Although there are several islands in Lugu Lake, it is enough to see one. The ticket price seems to be 40 yuan per person, just like the chartered car, which is organized by Daluoshui Village itself.
There is a small beach on one side of the island, but it is too small to accommodate many people.
The water near the island is very clear and the rocks on the bottom of the water are clearly visible.
Liwubi Island is not big, 30 minutes is enough.
A small island with a temple on it. Haha. Worth a visit.
When we arrived at the shore of Liwubi Island, we originally planned not to go to the island. After consulting with everyone on the boat, we decided to go to the island. I think our decision was right. With an extra 20 yuan, we were able to see the more beautiful scenery and take some beautiful and pure photos.
The island is lush with trees and there is a Tibetan Buddhist temple, Liwubi Monastery, which is a popular place for sightseeing and worshiping Buddha. Local people come to pray and worship during every Tibetan festival and Buddhist festival.
The island is very small and there is only one Tibetan Buddhist temple on it - Liwubi Temple, which is a local Buddhist worship site.
We paid to take a boat to Libiu Island, which is a very beautiful island and worth a visit. It seemed to cost 30 yuan per person to go to the island. It was a small wooden boat, which was very impressive.
You can only get to the island by boat, and the lake is very beautiful when the weather is clear.
When you go around Liwubi Island, you will see two trees full of prayer flags, one is called "Azhu" and the other is called "Axia", and the middle is the water boundary between Yunnan and Sichuan. The water in the middle of the lake is very clean. I scooped some water with the kettle I brought with me and it tasted better than Nongfu Spring.
Liwubi Island is the largest island in Lugu Lake, close to Liujiao. Generally, if you want to go to the island, you will choose to take the special pig dregs boat, which takes about 15 minutes to arrive.
There is a Lama temple on the island, and you have to take off your hat and sunglasses before entering. I find it troublesome, and my boyfriend has never been interested in these things, so we just skipped it.
There is also a wishing bell platform where you can take photos for free.
It costs 50 yuan per person to take a boat to the island, and another 30 yuan per person to go around Liwubi Island, which is an additional 5 kilometers and takes 15-20 minutes. On the boat, you can see the vegetation on the island, prayer flags and springs in the lake.
There is a temple on Liwubi Island. It was originally a Tibetan Buddhist temple, but was changed to Taoism to cater to tourists.
You need to take a boat to get up there, 50 per person, plus 30 if you go around the island. The scenery on the island is nice.
"Liwubi Island" is located in the south-central part of Lugu Lake and is the most famous island in Lugu Lake. The island closest to the Daluoshui Pier charges 50 yuan per person and takes about 20 minutes to row a boat. It looks very close, but it is actually quite far away. When we passed the shallowest part of Lugu Lake while circling the island, the boating brother suggested that we taste the water of Lugu Lake. It was really cool and sweet, just like mineral water. Suddenly, I remembered that in the film and television drama, the four masters and apprentices of Bajie came to the Kingdom of Daughters and drank the water here and accidentally got pregnant. Well, I decided to revisit "Journey to the West" when I was free. The island is lush with trees, with many azaleas and wild cherry trees, and a Tibetan Buddhist temple, Liwubi Temple, which is a popular place for sightseeing and worshiping Buddha. After getting on the island, follow a path to the top of the island and you can look around the lake. The scenery is beautiful. The temples and white pagodas on the island are very popular. Locals come to pray and worship during every Tibetan festival and Buddhist festival. We were given 15 minutes to visit the island, and we got off in about 5 minutes. We don't have any religious beliefs so we didn't go to worship. We just looked at the scenery and took some photos on the bow of the boat.
Liwubi Island was the only island we visited during our trip around the lake. There is a Liwubi Temple on the island. The scenery of the island itself is nothing special, but it is nice to take a boat ride on the beautiful Lugu Lake and look at the Goddess Mountain from afar. The girl on the boat strongly recommended that we go around the island for a week before going to the island. I forgot how much the boat fee was. She said that the scenery around the island is better, but in fact there are only some trees and some small springs behind the island. Some places are crystal clear. The girl also recommended that we take a sip because the local water protection is very good. In short, I recommend everyone to take a boat ride and go around the island depending on your mood. I personally think it is unnecessary.
The lake and the sky are intertwined, with the shadows of trees dotted in between, giving the impression that the light of the sky and the shadow of the lake are wandering together. Please forgive me for tampering with the poem without authorization, but in fact, this scene makes me want to describe it this way.
After rowing for a while, we arrived at Liwubi Island. The boatman took us ashore safely and sat by the boat waiting for us.
We were really in a hurry, so we rushed up all the way regardless of altitude sickness.
When we reached the top and saw the Liwubi Temple, we didn’t quite believe in it, so we didn’t go in.
But the blessing plaque in the pavilion next to it attracted us. When the wind blew, the small bell below made a crisp sound, which sounded very pleasant.
The island was blocked by trees, so the view of Lugu Lake from above was not very good. We stayed there for a while and then returned the same way.
However, as time went by, the sky became brighter and brighter, and from a distance the color of the lake slowly changed from green to blue.
I almost got seasick when I took the boat to the island. The scenery on the island is average.
The scenery of Lugu Lake Scenic Area is really nice, but the only drawback is that it is too far away. It takes about 4.5 hours to get there by car from Lijiang, and the whole way is along the mountain road!
After visiting the temple, continue walking up for more than a hundred meters and you will reach the top of the island, where a white pagoda stands.
The island where the earliest temple of the Mosuo people worshipped Buddha is located, a sacred island
The next day after arriving at Lugu Lake, we signed up for a wooden boat tour. Along the way, the boatman also introduced the surrounding mountains and rivers to us. We saw a mountain with snow on the top. The boatman said that it was because it rained the day before, so there was snow on the top of the mountain. It looked dark blue from a distance, which was comfortable to look at. When we were almost done with the tour, the boatman asked us if we were willing to pay an additional 50 yuan per person to go around the island. If we didn’t want to swim, we would be dropped off at the ferry first. So, everyone said to go around the island and then go ashore (I guess most people choose to go around the island, it’s really rare to see such clear water). The water around the island was crystal clear, and I asked the boatman about the water depth - 12 meters There are many white flowers floating in the shallows - water lilies. One of the boatmen even scooped up water to drink, but I didn't dare to do that. I just played in the water. The water was very cold and comfortable. The boatman introduced that Lugu Lake is the junction of Sichuan and Yunnan, so one side is Lugu Lake in Yunnan and the other side is Lugu Lake in Sichuan. After getting on the island, we stayed for more than ten minutes. There was a temple on the top and "smooth sailing" around it. We followed it around and gathered some ideas. There was also a pavilion with many people's wishing signs hanging on it. Looking out from the pavilion, the scenery was very good and vast.
In the middle of Lugu Lake, it is very beautiful, with only one temple on the island.
Liwubi Island is a small island in Lugu Lake. Take a boat from Lige Peninsula and the boatman will take tourists to the island. There is no scenery on the island itself, but standing at one end of the island, you can look around the entire lake, which is a great place to take pictures. The cost of taking a boat from Lige Peninsula to the island is 10 yuan per person.
This was taken in Liwubi Island. There are several towers like this, which are very local.
The three islands in the center of the lake: Liwubi Island, Shewayo Island, and Lige Island are collectively known as the Three Penglai Islands of Lugu Lake.
Take a boat to the temple, it feels a bit small, but overall it's OK
Liwubi Island is located in the south-central part of Lugu Lake. It and Tubu Peninsula divide Lugu Lake into two parts, and face Snake Island in the northwest. It takes about half an hour to get to the island from Luoshui Village. One side of the island is a stalagmite, which becomes a natural dock. A winding path leads directly to the top of the island. There are many azaleas and wild cherry trees beside the road. At the end of the flowers is the Tibetan Buddhist temple Liwubi Temple, and there is a white pagoda on the top of the island. Liwubi Island, Shewayo Island and Lige Island are collectively known as the Three Penglai Islands of Lugu Lake.
It was raining when we went there, and the lake surface changed from blue to green. It was quite picturesque.
The scenery is beautiful, a small island in the middle of Lugu Lake.
It was still early when we checked in at Daluoshui, so we took a pig trough boat to cruise around Liwubi Island. There were many seagulls by the lake, and the boatman also prepared bread (we were supposed to bring our own). Flocks of seagulls circled around us, and our hands were sore from taking pictures, and we had to be careful not to drop our camera or phone into the lake. We stayed on the island for a while, and the boatman introduced us to the water lilies, the springs at the bottom of the lake, and the couple trees that looked at each other from afar. We accidentally arrived in Sichuan. The lake was very beautiful.
A small island. Take a pig trough boat to get there. Liwubi Temple is on the island.
It's beautiful and worth a visit. I would like to go again if I have time!
This is where the Tibetan Buddhist temples are located. You can go and experience it.
Following the direction of the uncle's finger, we boarded Liwubi Island, which, together with Heiwawu Island and Lige Peninsula, is known as the "Three Penglai Islands". A winding path leads directly to the top of the island, with many azaleas and wild cherry trees beside the road... After the pilgrimage to the temple, continue to walk up for more than a hundred meters to the top of the island, where a white pagoda stands. This is the pagoda of Ayunshan, the chief of the Yongning Mosuo Tusi Mansion... The trees originally grown on Liwubi Island, due to the rich nutrients and water, all kinds of plants can grow into towering trees as long as they grow here, and the whole island is like a mountain full of flowers...
Take a boat around the island, look at the clear water of Lugu Lake, and then go to the island, where there is Liwubi Temple. It is worth taking a boat trip.
There is Liwubi Temple on Liwubi Island. The temple is Tibetan Buddhism. The lamas on the island are supported by the Mosuo people who row boats in Daluoshui. The temple was rebuilt later. It doesn't have any special features. It costs 50 yuan per person to take a boat from Daluoshui. It is very quiet. You can burn incense and worship Buddha. The view of the island from a distance is also good. The lamas inside are very kind. The entire Mosuo people are very kind. Their temperaments are not affected by the increasing number of tourists. There is no entrance fee for rowing there. This is quite reasonable.
The Three Islands of Lugu are also known as the Three Islands of Penglai. The most famous one is Liwubi Island. You can take a boat to the island for a fee. Walking on the boat feels like traveling in a painting. Lugu Lake is full of beautiful scenery. You can stay there for 2 to 3 days, ride on Lugu Lake, cruise around Lugu Lake, breathe fresh air, watch the sunrise and sunset. The day is always so leisurely. You can also learn about the mysterious Mosuo culture. However, you must pay attention to sun protection as the ultraviolet rays are quite strong.
There is a beautiful island in Lugu Lake. You have to take a pig trough boat to get there.
Liwubi Island is one of the islands in Lugu Lake. It is very beautiful. There is a Liwubi Temple on the island, which is fresh, quiet and has religious and cultural characteristics... We took a boat to the island and the boatman was also a Mosuo. Clearly marked prices, good service and very safe!
Liwubi Island is a small island in Lugu Lake. Generally, when you take a pig trough boat to tour Lugu Lake, you will slide to Liwubi Island and let everyone go to the island to play for a while. In fact, there is nothing interesting on the island, there is only a Liwubi Temple and a toilet. You can stand on the island to see the scenery of Lugu Lake, which is good. However, if you want to take a pig trough boat, you will usually go to the island, just in time for the rowing guys to take a rest. I personally think that rowing in Lugu Lake is still very good. The lake water is very clear, and the Mosuo guys are also very enthusiastic. They will sing for everyone to listen to, and the atmosphere is quite good.
It is a very small island. It is hard to imagine how the earliest Mosuo people survived. They were like amphibians.
You must take a pig trough boat to get there. The price is negotiable. The water is very clear. The boatman will take you around Liwubi Island.
There are many white water lilies floating around Liwubi Island. The water lilies are shining silver in the sun. The captain said that this flower looks good, but tastes ordinary. The locals feed pigs with it! I can't help but sigh in my heart. Things that are flashy and impractical will eventually be abandoned. I heard that water lilies can only grow in extremely clear water. It would be better if the water of Lugu Lake is not polluted by more and more tourists.
Visiting the Liqin Island in the lake requires an additional fee of 30 meters per person. The island is not big and you can climb to the top of the mountain in a few minutes. There are temples and lamas on the island. There are prayer wheels around the small temple, so we also went to rotate them.
"Liwubi" means "a place with singing birds and fragrant flowers" in the language of the local Mosuo people. The name sounds beautiful, but after getting off the boat and walking through the green trees, there are three buildings where local people worship. Walking inside is a small temple. The "Silent Festival" is held here.
There are some Tibetan customs on the island. I really want to go to Tibet. Tibet is waiting for me. I will definitely go there in the near future.
Actually, there is nothing fun on Liwubi Island, there is only a Buddhist temple. We thought there was nothing fun, so we only stayed on the island for about 5 minutes, and then decided to go boating around the island. Actually, at the beginning, I didn’t expect the scenery of the lake cruise to be so good, and I was still thinking about how not worth it it was to row a boat just now. Later, I realized what a wise decision it was for us to go around the island. The scenery was so beautiful that I couldn’t believe it. The visibility of the water made me feel a little scared and curious when I was sitting on the boat. The visibility was as deep as 12 meters. This number was really shocking.
To get to the island, you need to row a boat, a pure human-powered pig trough boat. It is said that the rowing trip we took is the longest section of the Lugu Lake route.
The island is filled with prayer flags and is a place where locals can pray.
Opposite to Daluoshui Village is Liwubi Island, which has beautiful scenery. Turn on the photo mode.
Liwubi Island can be reached by boat from Daluoshui Wharf. There is a Liwubi Temple on the island, but the most memorable thing is rowing on the surface of Lugu Lake.
Liwubi Island is not big, there is a small temple on it
The scenery is very beautiful. There is a small temple on the island that is also very distinctive. You can take a boat to this small island from Luoshui Village or Rig Peninsula. The small boat is quite special. If there is wind, the villagers are reluctant to go out to the island. The boat ride is actually the real enjoyment of time. Listening to the stories of Axia and Azhu, watching the little birds flying overhead from time to time, most of which are red-billed gulls dancing happily, and the blue sky and white clouds and the crystal clear lake water, I feel intoxicated just thinking about it.
The main purpose of going to Liwubi Island is to experience the pig trough boat on Lugu Lake. There is a Liwubi Temple on Liwubi Island. The scenery is average and the boat ride costs 50 yuan per person.
The round trip to Liwubi Island by boat costs 50 yuan per person, plus the 50 yuan for the round trip, a total of 100 yuan per person. In my opinion, this 100 yuan is well worth it, especially the scenery around the island is really unforgettable.
The prayer flags on the island are beautiful, and the view from the island is great, but there are many people and there are no special attractions.
After entering the Lugu Lake Scenic Area, the bus driver first took us to the first tourist attraction. Liwubi Island, take the pig trough boat for 20 yuan per person. Liwubi Island is actually very small. There is a Liwubi Temple on it. The pig trough boat owner stayed for a very short time and said that he would only give us a few minutes to watch and leave when the time is up. The lake also asked us if we wanted to pay an extra 10 yuan per person to let us go around the island to bring good luck to our family.
The water quality around Liwubi Island is the best in Lugu Lake, with a visibility of 12 meters.
When you arrive at Lugu Lake, you can take a boat to the lake, which costs RMB 50 per person.
The small island in the lake, Liwubi Island, is a holy place for local people to burn incense and worship Buddha. They believe in Tibetan Buddhism.
After we had breakfast at the market, we headed straight to the pier opposite, ready to head to Liwubi Island! The round trip by boat costs 50 yuan per person (negotiate the price with the boat owner first, whether it includes a round trip around the island). Later, we paid another 30 yuan per person for the round trip, a total of 80 yuan. Friends can try to bargain again!
Information: When touring the island, there will be a very shallow mudflat area where you can wade in the water!
We arrived at the Daluoshui Wharf and saw more than ten pig trough boats and boats that had just come back. The boatmen were both men and women, all Mosuo people. The driver asked and found out that there were 10 people who signed up to row to "Liwubi Island". Each person paid 50 yuan, and there was no charge for going to the island. At the same time, the driver told those who did not participate in the rowing that if they went to Lige Village, they would have to wait on the shore for about an hour. If you choose Daluoshui, the driver can recommend accommodation for you or find it yourself.
Before getting on the boat, be sure to ask if there will be any additional fees along the way. If they tell you when you are in the middle of the lake, then firmly say you are only going to the island and they won't do anything.
Be sure to check the weather before traveling by boat. The small pig trough boat cannot withstand small winds and waves. Safety comes first.
After traveling thousands of miles from Lijiang to Lugu Lake, I got off the car and was arranged to visit Liwubi Island before I went to the inn to arrange check-in. At first, I was reluctant, but I still felt very good after the experience. Liwubi Island is the largest island in the middle of Lugu Lake. You can only take a boat. When taking a boat in Lugu Lake, of course, you must experience a pig trough boat with Mosuo people at the helm. Feed seagulls on the lake on a pig trough boat. The boatman rowed us from Rig and enjoyed the beautiful lake scenery all the way to Xiaoluoshui Village. I bought bread and tore it into crumbs, which attracted red-billed gulls to come and grab food. Some red-billed gulls can catch bread in the air, while others pick up bread crumbs on the lake. We admired the blue lake on the boat, and the mist rose from the lake in the distance, leisurely and happy. After getting on the island, there is a small temple. You can just take a look. The key is to experience the fun of riding a pig trough boat.
