“If autumn had a color, it must be the blue and gold of Lugu Lake.”

📸 100% photogenic
When the first autumn breeze kisses the lake surface, Lugu Lake becomes God’s private palette—
▫️ The water is a soul-penetrating blue, as if enchanted, reflecting clouds and mountains; every shot looks like a Windows desktop wallpaper.
▫️ Goddess Gemu Mountain drapes itself in golden veils, with maple leaves, ginkgo, and reed marshes weaving an oil painting; every step treads on a melody of colors.
▫️ Pig trough boats glide across the lake, stirring ripples; autumn light in the waves shatters into stars, even breathing feels poetic.

🌿 Autumn at the Walking Marriage Bridge is the Mosuo people's romantic poem.
The century-old wooden bridge winds through a sea of golden grass, like a passage to a fairy tale.
Holding your lover’s hand, listen to the rustling reeds in the wind, watch the sunset dye the bridge amber,
At this moment, even time slows down.
(💡Tips: The light is softest at 5 PM; wearing a light-colored long dress makes photos even better!)

🍂 Autumn on the Lige Peninsula is the romance of a lonely planet.
The peninsula is surrounded by water on three sides, like a pearl cradled in the lake’s palm.
Autumn at Lige is quieter and gentler than the summer bustle.
Find a lakeside café, order a cup of Mosuo butter tea, watch maple leaves fall outside the window,
And realize that “peaceful times” really do exist.

🌄 Autumn at Goddess Bay is a feast of sunset molten gold.
If autumn at Lugu Lake had a name, it would be “Goddess Bay at dusk.”
At 6 PM, stand by the bay and watch the sun slowly sink into the lake,
The sky shifts from orange-red to pink-purple, the water glimmers with golden light, like fireworks that never fade.
(📷 Best spot: Goddess Bay viewing platform; a telephoto lens captures stunning sunsets and lake reflections!)

🚶 Cycling around the lake, encounter every frame of autumn romance.
Rent an electric bike and ride slowly along the lakeside road,
Passing golden rice fields, fiery maple forests, and deep blue waters,
Every turn is a surprise.
(💡Recommended route: Daluoshui Village → Lige Peninsula → Xiaoluoshui Village → Goddess Bay → Walking Marriage Bridge)

🍁 Autumn at Lugu Lake is warmth on the palate.
▫️ Mosuo pork belly: a seasonal autumn delicacy, rich but not greasy, with a faint pine aroma.
▫️ Sulima wine: a sweet liquor fermented from highland barley, low alcohol, just the right buzz.
▫️ Grilled lake fish: freshly caught fish, slow-grilled over charcoal, crispy outside and tender inside, dipped in chili powder, a soul-stirring bite.
