Lugu Lake Natural and amazing view

#travelinginchina Lugu Lake, located on the border of Sichuan and Yunnan provinces in southwestern China, is a breathtaking alpine lake renowned for its crystal-clear waters, serene surroundings, and unique cultural heritage. Nestled at an altitude of 2,685 meters, the lake is surrounded by lush mountains and is home to the Mosuo people, one of China’s most fascinating ethnic minorities. The Mosuo culture is central to Lugu Lake’s identity. Often referred to as the “Kingdom of Women,” the Mosuo society is matriarchal, with family lineage and property passed through the female line. Women hold significant authority in households, and the Mosuo practice a tradition called “walking marriage” (zouhun), where couples maintain separate households and men visit their partners at night. This unique system emphasizes emotional bonds over formal marriage structures, making Mosuo culture a subject of intrigue and study. Highly recommended who like to explore Chine culture and traditions. #familytrip #localguides#trip #travel
