Day 1 Lijiang → Lugu Lake
All day
In the morning, we'll meet up in Lijiang and depart for Lugu Lake. After lunch, we'll head to Sanjiacun Wharf to board a unique Mosuo watercraft, a pig trough boat. As the Mosuo boatmen sing and sing, we'll admire the lake's ripples, shimmering against the azure waters. We'll then ascend Liwubi Island and follow a winding path to the island's summit for panoramic views of the lake. We'll then experience a Mosuo lecture hall, where we'll visit a local Mosuo home and hear the mystical stories of their people. At night, even greater surprises await: join the Mosuo youths and ladies in singing and dancing around the bonfire at a bonfire party. Conclude your day with a stay at one of China-TravelNote's carefully selected luxury inns by Lugu Lake.
Day 2 Lugu Lake → Lijiang
All day
Wake up in the morning and enjoy your own leisurely morning. Stroll to the lakeside pier to witness the unmissable sunrise over Lugu Lake, quietly watching the sun slowly rise from behind the golden-rimmed clouds. After breakfast, head to the Walking Marriage Bridge in Caohai. Over 300 meters long, this wooden bridge spans the shores of Caohai. This romantic walkway, used by the Mosuo Axia people, who adhere to the custom of "men not marrying, women not marrying," is the key to their walking marriages.
We'll continue our journey around the lake, passing famous and lesser-known check-in spots like Lover's Beach in Sichuan, Luyuanya, Lige Viewing Platform, and Lover's Beach in Yunnan, allowing us to experience the dreamlike beauty of Lugu Lake. We'll then return to Lijiang, a destination so captivating to countless travelers.
