泸沽湖

Lugu Lake is a plateau lake shared by Yunnan and Sichuan. Peninsulas, forest ridges, and communities such as Mosuo are located around the lake. Local culture cannot be reduced to a single vision of matrilineal life, family structures, rituals, and tourism economies are all more complex. The long road distance, elevation, and cross-province management differences make it a stand-alone multi-day destination rather than a drop-in attraction in Lijiang city.
