Lugu Lake: The Pearl of the Plateau

#favouriteitinerary Lugu Lake is located on the border between Yunnan and Sichuan, at an altitude of approximately 2,685 meters. It's often called the "Pearl of the Plateau" in China. The Mosuo people living on the Yunnan side of the lake follow a unique tradition called the "walking marriage," where men and women do not formally marry. This practice has earned Lugu Lake the nickname "Kingdom of Women" or "Oriental Daughter Kingdom." Personal Opinion: In my opinion, Lugu Lake is not only a stunning natural beauty but also a fascinating cultural destination. The unique customs of the Mosuo people make it an intriguing place to visit for anyone interested in diverse traditions and breathtaking landscapes.
