Hi, I'm your little brother Cheng
Falling in love with a scenery 🖼️ starts from the first impression! Years ago, my first visit to Lugu Lake left me captivated by its dazzling shades of blue—deep, light, and every hue in between. Here, I witnessed a kaleidoscope of blues!
🎫 Ticket: 70 RMB (valid for both Yunnan and Sichuan sides)
🚗 Self-drive: ~2.5H from Lijiang, ~4H from Dali
🕊️ Seagulls: Mid-November to March annually
🌊 Water grass flowers: June to October yearly
📪 Altitude: ~2,700M (rare altitude sickness)
♻️ My Lakeside Route:
Daluoshui → Lugu Lake Viewing Platform → Sanjiacun → Langfang Pier → Guandi Flower Sea Pier → Puluo Pier → Zouhun Bridge (Marriage Bridge) → Grass Sea → Goddess Bay → Sichuan Lovers' Beach → Luyuan Cliff → Xiaoluoshui → Lige Peninsula → Yunnan Lovers' Beach
📷 Photo Spots:
⛵️ Daluoshui Pier: Perfect for lakeside strolls or lazy afternoons at a café ☕️—pure chill vibes!
🏝️ Lige Peninsula: A jade-like stretch into the lake, with panoramic views from its observation deck.
🖼️ Sichuan Grass Sea: Visit the Marriage Bridge, summer’s prairie-like wetlands, or winter’s misty mornings.
🌅 Sichuan Lovers' Bay: A hidden gem for breathtaking sunsets with few tourists.
⛵️ Langfang Pier: Summer for water lilies, winter for feeding seagulls.
🚩 Luyuan Cliff: The lake’s source, adorned with prayer flags—a photogenic spot.
🌊 Yunnan Lovers' Beach: Ideal for seagull watching in winter.
🏖️ Stay: Anxia Resort Lugu Lake
Located in central Daluoshui, just steps from the lake and opposite the Mosuo ethnic group’s nightly Jia Cuo dance 🎭 performances—ultra-convenient.
Every room boasts floor-to-ceiling windows and a private balcony. Spend lazy afternoons sipping coffee ☕️ or tea 🍵, swaying on the balcony swing with a book 📖—pure serenity!
As night falls, unwind with a cocktail 🍹 at the first-floor restaurant, serenaded by live music—time seems to stand still!
