How to get to Lugu Lake from Old Town of Lijiang and how to play?

It's been more than half a month since I came back from Lugu Lake, but I still haven't recovered. I always feel that I have been there before, but I haven't. Maybe it's because the scenery there is really beautiful, my heart is still there, I haven't forgotten it, I'm still there. That place is Lugu Lake.

Before I went to Lugu Lake, my impression of Lugu Lake only stayed in other people's mouths. Some people say yes, others say that's it.

After I went there, I was shocked.

Maybe everyone has his own standard to measure the scenery, but from my personal measurement, I can undoubtedly give 90 points.

Let's talk about our itinerary. Four people (two pairs) drove from Chengdu to Lugu Lake, leaving on May 27th and returning on May 30th.

I booked accommodation before departure, two nights in Lugu Lake and one night in Xichang.

Depart from Chengdu at 7: 00 in the morning and arrive at Lugu Lake around 6: 00 in the evening (ps: Chengdu-Xichang is the expressway, Xichang-Lugu Lake is the provincial highway). In addition to going to the toilet on the way, I just had lunch in a county town after leaving Xichang, and I was on the road all the way. But eating snacks, eating fruits and chatting all the way was quite pleasant.

It's about 10 km from the ticket office to where we live. We live near Dazu pier. Before I checked in, I couldn't help but stop and pat the road.

After checking in, we found that the accommodation environment was very good (ps: we lived in a warm-hearted duplex suite in a quiet holiday courtyard in Lugu Lake). The house is dominated by wood structures. On the first floor, we received and sold tea and coffee, and saw several coffee machines. The cabinets pasted on the wall are filled with Pu 'er tea cakes sold all over the country. A complete tea set in the center of the room looks very special.

There is a small book bar in the public area on the second floor, where you can drink tea and read books.

This room is very big. There is also a tea set on the log coffee table downstairs in our suite. Sofas and other furniture are made of wood. There is a set of cosmetic tables and chairs with a special sense of the times upstairs beside the bed, which is very distinctive.

Because it's still early after check-in, according to the previous strategy and communication with the store after check-in, I chose to go to the Goddess Bay to watch the sunset (it is said that I went to the Goddess Bay to watch the sunset and went out to the grass sea to watch the sun).

Unfortunately, things didn't go as expected. It was cloudy that day and there was no sunset. However, I had a very satisfactory steamed stone fish in the evening, which was very affordable (three pounds of fish for four people, vegetarian dishes, stewed rice with potatoes, 150 yuan). It's delicious, the fish is fresh and the dipping sauce is unique. The next night, we couldn't help eating again.

After a good meal (hahaha, no wine, enough fish soup), we both took the traveling tea set and tea back to the inn. We each contributed a cup of Pu 'er tea, and had a chat over tea. It feels great.

Because the shopkeeper said that the location of her yard is very suitable for watching the sunrise, we made an appointment to get up at 6: 30 to watch the sunrise. However, the next morning, it was raining lightly. My husband and I dressed in a hurry, went to the terrace on the second floor, touched it, and went back to bed.

Relatively speaking, our trip the next day is the most important part of this trip. Lugu Lake is about 70 kilometers around the lake. After breakfast in the morning, I began to travel around the lake at nine o'clock. We drove slowly. When we arrive at a beautiful place, we stop, pat and feel.

Rige peninsula

Personally, I think the most beautiful place is Rige Peninsula, where tourists are concentrated. I have to mention that we have been worried about the crowds in Lugu Lake during the Dragon Boat Festival, and later found that it was ok, but there were not many people. It is said that the peak season of Lugu Lake is Spring Festival, summer vacation and 1 1 month.

From a higher place, Rig Peninsula can shoot the effect of a heart-shaped island, but the most favorable position has been occupied by merchants, that is, the photo taken immediately, one of 20 yuan, and many people choose to shoot, especially young couples.

One step later, you came to the lake. Red, yellow and blue boats are parked on the shore. You can swim around the lake by boat.

There are many docks in Lugu Lake where you can take a boat, but the boats at each dock can only play in a certain area, probably because it belongs to the border of Sichuan and Yunnan, and there are many villages, so everyone goes their own way. In fact, if there is an overall plan for cruising around the lake, it should be particularly popular. For example, you can take tourists from Dazu Wharf to Rig Peninsula by cruise ship, so that you can spend a long time in the lake and experience the scenery in the lake.

Lunch was settled near Rig, and I was not impressed by the barbecue. I only remember that we chose to eat because the store was really enthusiastic and had been promoting sales. We just don't want to eat anything delicious.

In the afternoon, I went around the lake, went to lovers beach, Caohai, walking wedding pier and so on. Because of the rich time, I should have been to every scenic spot in Lugu Lake.

Qingrentan

Lover Beach is actually an ordinary lake beach, named after two trees by the lake. The water in Lugu Lake is very clear, and you will have a very deep feeling at Lovers Beach, because you can see the small fish and stones in the lake very clearly. Of course, friends still watch.

There was more than one water snake, which scared me to pick up stones on the shore.

Caohai

Caohai is a very special place. It is said that it covers an area of 15000 mu. When you go this season, you will see a green sea of grass. It is said that her most beautiful time is when the grass is yellow.

In Caohai, you can also take a boat tour. You can take a small local wooden boat and go deep into Caohai. We didn't sit down because we didn't think it was necessary.

Pedestrian bridge is a long wooden bridge, surrounded by many food stalls and tourists. I bought a pair of walking ducks, which are actually small ornaments carved out of wood and painted with paint. I specifically asked the store why the duck was called away, and she couldn't tell the reason. Maybe it's just because there is a wedding bridge here and Mosuo people have wedding customs, so it's named wedding duck.

Later, we also visited the Mosuo Museum, which was well built and introduced the history and customs of Mosuo people. For health reasons, I can't observe it up close.

Dazu wharf

I didn't get up early on the third day because I didn't see the sunrise the next day, thinking there would be no sunrise on the third day. However, a little friend got up early. Although I didn't see the sunrise, he took the most beautiful photo of my trip.

Our trip on the third day was very simple, because we basically saw everything we needed to see the next day, so we went to Dazu Wharf for a boat tour on the third day and then returned to Xichang.

Xichang return trip

This trip is a little tired. On the way back to Xichang, our spirits were not very good. The return trip took an hour or two longer than expected. We left Lugu Lake after three o'clock in the afternoon and arrived in Xichang around nine o'clock in the evening. I found a Xichang barbecue near where I live and had a delicious meal. However, another couple said that this Xichang barbecue is not as delicious as the Xichang barbecue downstairs.

The accommodation in Xichang is also great. It's a quadrangle, very close to Qionghai, very quiet, and the price is very suitable. It's called Xichang Harmony Inn, which is a store we will go to next time we want to go to Xichang.

Opposite the inn is a large farmer's market. There are many fruits in Xichang. The fourth morning we went to the farmers' market and bought many different kinds of mangoes, cherries and watermelons. When I came back, I found everything was fine.

When we arrive in Xichang, we will definitely go to Qionghai, but we must say that we have just returned from Lugu Lake. After seeing Qionghai, we feel that there is no comparability between the two places. After watching it for a while, I continued to drive to Chengdu. I had lunch in Ya 'an on the way, because I remember that when I went to Yunnan, the Ya 'an fish I ate through Ya 'an was very good. I always said I had to try it on the road.

However, the result is not satisfactory. Perhaps the two steamed stone fish in Lugu Lake were so delicious that they left a deep impression on us, and the Ya 'an family thought it was not very delicious.

Return to Chengdu after five o'clock in the afternoon, and the trip is over. Generally speaking, everyone is satisfied, enjoying the beautiful scenery and eating delicious food. The key is to have a safe trip.

Finally, I have to say a few words:

1. It's a long journey from Chengdu to Lugu Lake by car. There is no expressway outside Xichang. Although the road is ok, it is better for beginners not to challenge. Personally, I think the road is more dangerous;

It takes only three hours to drive from Lijiang to Lugu Lake, which is much closer than Chengdu.

3. It belongs to Lugu Lake in Yunnan, with few toilets and high fees;

4. It belongs to Lugu Lake in Yunnan, and there is no special parking area (there is no special parking area, so basically it can only be parked on the side of the road, and there is a parking lot at the couple beach, but there is a charge). The parking situation in Lugu Lake in Sichuan is good;

Along the way, we only saw a special sightseeing corridor along the lake in Lugu Lake, Sichuan, but we didn't notice it in Yunnan.
