2. Drive to Lugu Lake by car

There are two routes to choose from. 1 From Panzhihua-Gezala-Meiyu Town-Muli-Muli Temple-Lugu Lake. From Panzhihua to Gezala, from Hugu to Lijiang. Self-driving plan 1: Now is a good time to see the maple leaves. There are beautiful views and surprises to Lugu Lake throughout the journey. The road is in good condition, but the area is narrow, so be careful of falling rocks.

3. Self-driving trip to Lugu Lake during the Spring Festival

Recommended itinerary: Chengdu-Xichang-Lugu Lake-Lijiang-Xichang-Chengdu. Day 1: Chengdu-Xichang, journey 530 kilometers. The road conditions from Chengdu to Xichang were much better than expected. Climb over the Mud Mountain and Tuowu Mountain and bid farewell to the dusty Chengdu. After 10 hours, you can eat grilled fish barefoot in Xichang. The next day: Xichang-Yanyuan-Lugu Lake. The journey is 281 kilometers. Lugu Lake is the surface of a beautiful teardrop on the earth, filled with the joys, sorrows and joys of Mosuo girls. People who arrive at Lugu Lake for the first time can immediately recover from the sapphire blue water of the lake. At night, the enthusiastic nail polishing dance next to the bonfire makes people feel the enthusiasm of the Mosuo people. Day 3: From Lugu Lake to Lijiang, the journey is 205 kilometers. Lugu Lake is the most beautiful in the early morning. After walking around the lake, rowing in the middle of the lake, and then going to Mosuo, I went to her house to take a photo of my grandma. In the afternoon, drive along Huanhu Road to Yunnan and go straight to Lijiang. What needs to be reminded is that on the 18-turn mountain road from Lugu Lake to Lijiang, don’t forget about it just thinking about soaking in Lijiang at night. Day 4: Lijiang. There are many snacks and small shops in Lijiang. After a few blocks, I found myself eating either non-stop. Or you find yourself shopping non-stop. If you meet a calm owner, he will probably be in a daze in the sun. Day 5: From Lijiang to Tiger Leaping Gorge, a round trip of 222 kilometers. Tiger Leaping Gorge is a famous landscape on the Jinsha River. The view of the canyon is spectacular and steep, with a huge boulder in the middle of the river. It is said that tigers can jump from the stone to the other side, so it is called Tiger Leaping Rock. Day 6: Lijiang returns to Xichang via Panzhihua, a journey of 492KM. Day 7: From Xichang to Chengdu, the journey is 530 kilometers. Food recommendation: Yanyuan has a kind of dried apple made from red Fuji, which is fragrant and crispy. The streets and alleys of Lijiang are full of delicacies. Lijiang Baba, chicken jelly, and soybeans are all delicious, but they must be eaten in local shops to be considered authentic.

4. Lugu Lake self-driving tour route

Baohai: Renting an electric car and Baohu both have their own pros and cons. You can choose a four-wheeled business vehicle with a two-wheeled bicycle to avoid dangerous and physically demanding roads and capture the beautiful scenery of Lugu Lake up close. (Recommended section 1: Sancun - Sichuan-Dian Friendship Bridge, about 6km, riding time is about 30 minutes; Recommended section 2: Libai Lover's Beach - Luyuanya water outlet, about 6km, riding time is about 30min).

Walking around the lake: Almost half of the itinerary of Lugu Lake has a special hiking route (mainly stone roads), passing through a village every 1-2 hours, where you can temporarily supplement or rest.

Self-driving around Lugu Lake: Self-driving around Lugu Lake requires driver skills. There are many twisty roads and curves. If you are not familiar with the road conditions, it is easy to be in danger. It should be noted that from July to September

Attractions not to be missed

Daluo Water

Dalo Water Village is located in Lijiang, Lugu Lake. The tip of the ground extends to the center of the lake, with the widest view. It is the largest and earliest developed Mosuo village in Lugu Lake, and it is also the tourist transportation center of Lugu Lake. Most Mosuo wooden houses have been transformed into inns, bars or shops. The streets by the lake have the most classic white tables, glass balls, and art shops. Many people choose to live in Daluoshui, which is more convenient.

Rigby

Li Ge is the most famous peninsula in Lugu Lake. Li Ge Peninsula, taken from the observation deck, is simply the business card of Lugu Lake and the place that best represents Lugu Lake. On the back is Gemu Goddess Mountain, surrounded by green mountains on the left and right and surrounded by water on three sides. The promotional photos of Lugu Lake you see here are probably like this. You can walk 10 minutes from the observation deck trail to Rig Island. There are many colorful pig trough boats parked on the shore. With the blue Lugu Lake and sky as the background, plus the colorful boats, it is also very attractive.

Goddess Mountain

Muni Mountain is the sacred mountain of the Mosuo people on the shores of Lugu Lake. With an altitude of 3754.7 meters, it is the highest peak around Lugu Lake. To go up the mountain, you need to take the Lion Rock Ropeway in Nisai Village. The famous Lover's Tree in the village of Nisay.

After going up the ropeway, there is a plank road leading to the Goddess Gem Cave. The surrounding scenery is natural and pristine. After passing the plank road, you can reach the Goddess Gemstone Cave. From the entrance of the cave, you can overlook Lugu Lake. The water and mountains are amazing and spectacular. Every year on the 25th day of the seventh lunar month, a grand mountain climbing event is held here. At this time, the Mosuo people went to Goddess Mountain to worship the goddess.

Ticket: 90 yuan including ropeway and slide. It is recommended to visit for 2-3 hours.

Luyuan Ya

There are cliffs covered with colorful prayer flags and rocks everywhere. It is full of Mosuo people's worship of Buddhism. When you are there, you will feel a mysterious feeling like Tibet in Western Sichuan.

The Lover's Tree in Nisay

The Lover's Tree is the landmark of Nisay and a must-visit attraction for all types of travelers to take wedding photos. It has not been developed on a large scale, but it is still quiet. From a distance, the two trees on Long Lake look like they are growing in the lake. The two trees look like they are leaning on each other, but there is actually a small distance between them. They are beautiful and lonely, much like a couple. Later, people planted some trees next to them so that they would not be so lonely.

Dazui Village

Also known as Dazu Village, it is located in Liangshan, Sichuan and built in

Zhaojiawan (commonly known as Goddess Bay) is recommended to visit 30- 60 minutes. Goddess Bay is a quiet harbor in Lugu Lake. It is named after Gemu Goddess Mountain. Because there is only one Zhao family here, it is also called Zhaojiawan. Many photographers say that this is the best angle to watch and enjoy the sunset on Lugu Lake. You can enjoy the mountains, rivers and sunset.

But it is also the most difficult harbor to get to, requiring a very rugged path. Because of the inconvenient transportation, there are relatively few tourists and the environment is well protected. What's more, there is a self-service snack bar here. For only 30 yuan per person, you can eat unlimited amounts of local chicken, matsutake, fresh fish and other delicacies, which is a very cost-effective price.
