Lugu Lake is located in the northwest of the Yunnan plateau, at an elevation of 2,690 meters with a water spread area of 50 square kilometers. The lake with deep transparency has four prominent peninsulas, five islands and one land-tied island, like jades in different shapes floating on the water.
To the northwest of the lake is the Goddess Gemu Mountain, the holy mountains of the Mosuo people; to the southeast of the lake, it is connected to the Caohai Lake, where the dense reeds in the shallow water are rippling with the wind, and the flowers and plants are fluttering in the wind; around the lake are virgin forests, home to rare species, which emerges suddenly from nowhere and vanish instantly, striking home the awesomeness and charm of wildness. Beside the lake are crisscrossed farm fields and vast expanses of countryside, with people working at sunrise and resting at sunset. The wooden houses, cooking smoke, pastoral songs, and fishing fires form a myriad of rustic scenes, attracting people to linger around and forget to return.
