This is an unforgettable 2-day tour at Lugu Lake. I booked a tour group two days before I saw the wonderful pictures posted on the website of this agency. The tour started from a 4-hour bus time, which is a point that I want to complement that the bus is spacious and ventalized, providing a enjoyable experience. We saw the canon at first, and the tour guide encouraged us to walk 1 hour to inhaul fresh air along the way to Yi villages where I took a bunch of photos. We visited Liwubi Island and Mosuo Culture Museum as well.
On the second day, we immersed in the Mosuo real life. People here are very industrious and motivated as the people are largely self-sufficient in diet, raising enough for their daily needs. The tour consultants are considerate. They collected every tourist’s diet like allegy and preferences and told the Mosuo family that arranges lunch for us this info.
