The Wizard of Oz at Lugu Lake

Visiting Ninglang - Lugu Lake this time, I was truly amazed by the scenery here! Especially the moment when I looked down from the cable car, the entire Lugu Lake looked like a sapphire💎, with Lige Peninsula and the small island in the lake fully in view. The blue-green gradient of the water was so beautiful it left me speechless～The villages at the foot of the mountains dotted around like a natural landscape painting🏞️
