Mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas—half Yunnan, half Sichuan
Lugu Lake, an excellent spot for girls' trip photos!
A detailed guide for perfectionists, precise tips to avoid pitfalls ⤵️
🚌【Two transportation options】
✅Bus: 72 RMB from Lijiang, super convenient to book on Trip.com
✅Self-drive: Recommended for 2-4 people, freedom to circle the lake, but requires an experienced driver!
🏘️【Accommodation guide】
Daluoshui Village is the top choice! Photos 1-2 are real shots~
✅Clean hotel + automatic water dispenser (so touching!)
✅5-minute walk to the pier, unbeatable sunrise views
✅Nearby trendy restaurants and cafes concentrated here
🏝️【Precise lake-circling route】Photo 3
Car rental 200 RMB/car, covering all attractions:
✅Must-shoot spots: Pig trough boat (with reed background), Lige Peninsula viewing platform, Walking Marriage Bridge
✅Hidden spots: After circling the lake, ask the driver to drop you at a lakeside café (photos 14-18), perfect for zoning out and healing!
✊【Must-see tips for girlfriends】
1️⃣Ticket 70 RMB, the bus goes directly into the scenic area
2️⃣For the pig trough boat, be sure to say you want to go to the "Love Pier"! Don’t let the driver take you elsewhere~150 RMB/person is a bit pricey but worth the shots!
3️⃣Arrive at the pier before 7 AM for sunrise; for sunset, ask the hotel for the best spots
4️⃣Reapply sunscreen like crazy! Don’t forget the backs of your hands (learned the hard way😭)
5️⃣Three days two nights itinerary:
Day 1: Arrival → photos by the lake → browse and shop at cultural stores
Day 2: Rent a car to circle the lake (wear a white dress!) → edit photos at the café
Day 3: Sleep in → return trip
🌊During the blooming season of water hyacinths (June to October), the lake surface looks like a starry sky fallen down~
The Mosuo people are super warm and friendly, chat about the walking marriage culture, and feel the warmth of primitive beliefs✨
“Travel is about feeling,” but the guide must be detailed!
Copy this for your girls’ trip, guaranteed beautiful photos + easy experience~💖
