Lugu Lake Rock Island

Rock Island, also known as Xiwa'e Island/Snake Island. The largest tree on the island was planted by American botanist Dr. Rock in the early 1920s and is now a first-class protected plant in Lugu Lake.

There are many grass seas beside Lugu Lake, which you can hike through. There are many places selling apples, and the apples are very sweet.

Xiwa'e Island, formerly known as Shuizhai Island, is known locally as Snake Island, named after the numerous snakes that emerge to bask in the sun after summer rains. Dr. Rock, an American botanist, lived on Snake Island for eight years and enjoyed a close relationship with the Mosuo people. The Mosuo people hold deep affection for their deceased foreign friend, and most also call the island "Rock Island." Rock Island is covered in lush vegetation. The largest tree, planted by Dr. Rock in the early 1920s, is now a Class I protected plant in Lugu Lake. At the central peak of Rock Island lies a "mani pile," surrounded by faded prayer flags from wind and rain. It serves as the island's symbol.

The water in this lake is extremely transparent. The tour guide said that if you drop your phone in, don't pick it up. Although you can see it, it is several meters deep. Bring a bottle with you when you get on the boat. You can take some lake water to taste and see if it is "huaiyun".

Xiwa'e Island was originally named Shuizhai Island, and the locals called it Snake Island because there were many snakes coming out to bask in the sun after the summer rain.

Lugu Lake is a very beautiful place, suitable for you to find time and stay there for a few days.

Located in the center of Lugu Lake, it is very beautiful from a distance

The beauty of Lugu Lake really needs to be seen with your own eyes. I even saw the starry sky when I went there that day.

The price per person is RMB 100. Due to the long distance, not many people go there. It takes two hours to go back and forth. The island is very small and you can circle it in half an hour. There is a tree on the island with a tall crown, which makes it stand out from the crowd.

It's like a fairyland. After breathing in the smog in the city, you can come here to cleanse your eyes and lungs. It's not an exaggeration to call it a paradise. http://www.mafengwo.cn/sales/shop/59144

There is a small temple on the island and the waters nearby are very clear.

The scenery of the island in the middle of the lake viewed from the Daluo River is very beautiful.

Rowing a pig trough boat to the island, the island is very small, and it is a different experience to see the scenery of Lugu Lake on the island

The island is called Rock Island. It should be in memory of Mr. Rock, thanking him for discovering and bringing the beautiful scenery to the public through words and photos. Her graceful figure is like a boat, but it is hard to tell whether it is floating on the water or reflected in the clouds;

There's a sika deer on the island! Very beautiful! You need to find it yourself.

Of the three small islands on Lugu Lake, Xiwa'e Island is the most famous because Locke once lived there. A former residence and a temple still exist on the island. When we visited, the residence was locked and closed to the public. The temple is small, and a sika deer lives nearby, though I'm not sure if they're getting along. Several vibrant peonies are planted nearby. The island is very humid and overgrown with trees, so I wonder if long-term living here would be accustomed to it. But judging by Locke's long residence, it's probably not a problem. Xiwa'e Island is small; even a leisurely circumnavigation takes only half an hour.

This blue is different from Qinghai Lake, it is more quiet and deep blue

There weren't many people when I went there, and I could finish the tour in about 2 hours. It was so beautiful that I didn't want to leave.

Rig chose this island when he was taking a boat around the lake for water activities, but the scenery on the island was not very good.

Rock Island is located in the center of Lugu Lake, also known as the Heart of the Lake Island. The island is not big and it takes a short walk, but the transportation facilities are the same. The scenery is not as good as that of the Rig Peninsula.

We originally wanted to go to Liqinxing Island, but the boatman told us it was too crowded, so we asked him to take us to a less crowded place, Rock Island. It seems Rock was the man who discovered Lugu Lake. The island was deserted, very quiet and relaxing. There's a temple on the hill. I saw a deer being kept near the temple, and upon asking, I learned they were being released. The whole island was incredibly peaceful and comfortable.

Fat Jin took us on a two-hour hike to Rock Island, enjoying the views and chatting as we climbed. Given my usual work and laziness, it was rare to get such a refreshing outdoor workout. Reaching the summit felt like a small sense of accomplishment. A girl traveling with us, along with her grandmother, also made it to the summit, almost as fast as us. It was truly a wonderful experience to have the scenery, friends, and a good time hiking together, all while having fun.

This island is rarely visited because the view from the observation deck is stunning.

I went there by boat. It didn't seem as famous as Liwubi Island, but it was really nice, exquisite and small. There were temples, trees, flowers, and snakes on the island...

The locals take you to this small island by boat. Actually, there is nothing on it. It takes 20 minutes to go around it. It is very small.

This is an island that few people visit, but it is the place I recommend most because the observation deck here has a beautiful view. The word "beautiful" is not an exaggeration at all, because the scene seems to appear only in role-playing games. I didn't expect that the fictional scene was actually based on life.

Just take a look from a distance. There is a pavilion above the road with some prayer flags, which will attract a group of pedestrians.

The lake island is a magical place. The water never stops flowing. When you swim to the center, the water is so clear that you can drink it directly. There is a temple on the island. There is a wishing pavilion in the temple. You don’t need to fulfill your wish.

Pay attention to the direction of the prayer wheel. There are two types of wishing cards: ordinary and blessed, and the prices are different.

When you get to the island in the middle of the lake, the closer you get to the shore, the bluer the water becomes. There is a Lama Temple on the top of the island. The Tusi used to live on this island. This Tusi was equivalent to the county magistrate or village chief in ancient times. It has nothing to do with bread toast. It is also called this in Tibet. I have seen it introduced in "Dust Settles" before.

It is a small island in the center of Lugu Lake. There is a building on the island.

Located in the center of Lugu Lake, you need to charter a boat to get there. The scenery is very beautiful.

The so-called lake island is actually very small. There is only one building on the island, which is for tourists to take pictures. There is really nothing else.

The lake is said to be over 90 meters deep, and the surface is remarkably calm. The blue sky and white clouds are reflected in the water like a stirred bucket of blue paint. Such a beautiful scene, shaking it any further would be blasphemy. I just want to lie still and take in every detail of what's happening, but instead I stare at the water.

There is an island on Lugu Lake. There is a temple on the island. There are several lamas in the temple.

Visitors can take a pig trough boat to the island in the middle of the lake. The island is not very big, but there are residential buildings.

The Mosuo people have a deep affection for their deceased foreign friend, and many also call the island "Locke Island."

Rock Island (also known as Xiwa'e Island or Lake Heart Island) is a small island in the center of Lugu Lake. It's less famous than Liwu Island and boasts stunning scenery. Lush vegetation covers Rock Island, and its largest tree, planted by American botanist Dr. Rock in the early 1920s, is now a Class A protected plant species. It takes half an hour to row from Daluoshui Wharf to Rock Island.

The island here is covered in lush greenery, and the scenery, breathtakingly beautiful, is captivating. Standing on the island and gazing around, the water and sky merge into one, a place that brings a sense of peace and tranquility. Perhaps this is the magic of this place, allowing you to unknowingly experience the wondrous power of nature.

We paddled around the island in the middle of the lake, and the springs of Lugu Lake were clearly visible. I scooped up some water and tasted it; it was pure and tasteless. The island wasn't anything special, just a small temple, but it did mark the border between Yunnan and Sichuan. Our circumnavigation of the lake had effectively taken us from Yunnan to Sichuan.

The next day we chartered a boat from Rige to the Lake Heart Island (also known as Rock Island and Xiwa'e Island), which cost 300 yuan, and 500 yuan to the largest Liwubi Island. The scenery on the island was average, but the highlight was the process of cruising on the lake by boat, which was a truly intoxicating feeling.

The Mosuo lady who was driving the boat also enthusiastically shared with us the apples grown at home, which we could eat directly after washing in the lake water.

It is named in memory of an American named Locke, who is highly respected by the local people. It is located in Lugu Lake.

A place you must visit when you go to Lugu Lake. Locke was the first foreigner to visit Lugu Lake, so it is called Rock Island.

Rock Island is in the middle of the lake. As soon as you get on the island, you can hear the birds singing one after another. Among the lush trees, all kinds of birds whose names you can't tell are jumping around.

That is Xiwa'e Island. It turns out that the palace of the Mosuo Emperor was located there. The five islands in Lugu Lake have different names.

These snow-white petals, like those scattered by fairies, float on the water and sympathize with the weeping willows.

Take a pig trough boat from Luoshui Village to the island, where the palace of the Yongning chieftain was built. Locke once lived on the island.

This island is located in the center of the lake, 2,500 meters away from Luoshui Village on the lakeshore. The island is lush with trees and birds gather here. It is a habitat for migratory birds and wild ducks. It was also the water palace of Ayunshan, the chief steward of Yongning Tusi in the past. American scholar Locke also lived here.

Rock Island, although not many people go there, the scenery from the observation deck here is really magnificent!

There is a temple on the island in the middle of the lake. When we went there, many believers were carrying wood to the temple, so we joined in. The Buddha blessed us to see the beautiful scenery of Lugu Lake. It was so wonderful...

I heard from a local massage therapist that the island was called Snake Island. I speculated that it might be because there were too many snakes, but that didn't deter me from going. So I just looked out from the road. Later I learned it's also called Rock Island, named in honor of the late American botanist Dr. Rock. Perhaps the scenery was beautiful, but I'm a little disappointed I didn't go.

The seagulls followed us all the way up the pig trough boat and we were in a good mood. The scenery on the island was also very beautiful. The water of Lugu Lake was really clear.

The scenery on Rock Island is average. If you look carefully and through your unique perspective, you will find that the view of Lugu Lake from the island is quite beautiful.

When I went up to the island, there were only two or three people: two lamas, an old man, and a dog.

You have to wait until the wind is light on the lake before someone is willing to take you there. There are many animals on the island. Haha

Take a pig trough boat and row to the center of the lake, and you will find the Heart Island. There are lush flowers and plants there, like a paradise. Sitting there and looking at it, you will not want to go home.

The scenery is beautiful and can be reached by boat. There is a temple on the island overlooking the entire Lugu Lake.

If you take a boat, you will usually be brought here to visit and rest on the island. It is a great island.

The scenery on the other side is certainly not to be missed. The center of the lake and the surrounding scenery are very good choices.

It is a small island in the middle of the lake. You can take a boat to it. Locke lived on the island for many years, so it was named after him. I admire him very much.

Rock Island is also a very famous island in Lugu Lake. You have to take a boat to get to Rock Island in the middle of the lake!

Ayunshan, the chief steward of the Yongning Tusi in Lugu Lake, once lived on Rock Island. Ayunshan was born into a noble family and was said to have Mongolian ancestry. He was a garrison commander in Yongning during the Yuan Dynasty's southern expedition to Dali.

In winter, many migratory birds fly here, which is a great time to take pictures! Remember to bring bread.

There is a temple on the island, and there is also an introduction to the history of Locke at that time. The flowers around it are blooming beautifully, bright and beautiful.

If you are just a student, it is best to go here during the off-season, because there are too many people during the peak season and the prices are relatively high.

In spring, migratory birds fly here, and Lugu Lake gives you the feeling of being at a quiet seaside.

Although the island is not big, it is surrounded by springs. The light green areas you can see are the springs.

On Lugu Lake's Rock Island, a grazing cat, a scent-seeking dog, and a secluded monk compose a most distant and tranquil Buddhist chant.

I've always been to Lugu Lake, and I've always thought it was wonderful. The lake itself is truly stunning. I've been to many places, but Lugu Lake is the only place I want to go back to.

This is an island that few people visit, but it is the place I recommend most because the observation deck here has a beautiful view. The word "beautiful" is not an exaggeration at all, because the scene seems to appear only in role-playing games. I didn't expect that the fictional scene was actually based on life.

A small and exquisite island with a good ecological environment, small but elegant!

We took a pig trough boat to this small island, where there were all kinds of flowers and plants, and it swayed slowly and comfortably.

I went here by boat, and at first I didn’t find it so special. When I walked on the island, I suddenly felt the beauty of the lake surrounding me.

Rock Island is one of the islands in Lugu Lake. It is a relatively large island that has been developed for tourists to visit.
