About accommodation:
This time I chose Anxia·Shan Yu. Although it’s not in the center of Daluoshui Village, it’s not far away. You can enjoy a direct lake view, away from the noise of the crowds, and savor a peaceful atmosphere here.
The sunrise, starry sky, and seasonal lake views of Lugu Lake are all part of the stay experience. In the afternoon, you can enjoy afternoon tea in your room, and wake up to a stunning sunrise. Take a 5-hour escape travel plan; it provided a great experience for my trip.

✅ Recommended must-visit spots:
① Lige Peninsula: The iconic heart-shaped bay of Lugu Lake. Take a pig trough boat through the "water willow" flower sea, and the viewing platform offers panoramic shots.

② Walking Marriage Bridge + Caohai
A 300-meter wooden bridge spans thousands of acres of Caohai grassland. At sunset, golden light spills over, making it extremely romantic.

③ Gemu Goddess Mountain
Take the cableway to the top for a panoramic view of Lugu Lake. The Sky Mirror viewing platform is perfect for magical photos.

④ Goddess Bay
The best spot to watch the sunset! Arrive before 4 PM, order a special coffee at the cliffside café, and wait for the lake to be bathed in golden light.

⑤ Mosuo Museum
An immersive experience of matriarchal culture, showcasing local characteristics. You can also try on Mosuo traditional clothing.
