One of the last female dominant societies in China, nested away around a fully natural lake, outside the busy cities and approx. 3000m above sea level. We stayed here for one night during April 2019 and whilst everything looks old, the lake is a beautiful light blue-ish silk colour that we have never seen before. It is truly unique and we have been to many famous lakes around China and all around the Asia Pacific. No lake is as tranquil or natural as the Lugu lake. We came via car from Lijiang (4 hour drive) but it's also possible to enter from the eastern Chengdu side. We went around the lake, took the boat to a famous little island where they shot a popular entertainment show, crossed the wedding bridge, experienced the bonfire dance at night and stayed at a nice hotel at the edge of Da Luo Shui. The hotel was called 'San Se Yun' or 'three colour cloud' but I couldn't find it on TripAdvisor. If you don't mind the long drive (or you can fly here from Kunming or Chengdu) and want to experience going back in time to a nice hideaway tribal village, then spending a day (or a few days) at Lugu Lake would be a nice choice.

It's a beautiful valley down the Yulong Snow mountain. There are parts of the water which are in rich turquoise color.

The scenery of Black dragon park is the iconic image of Lijiang. If you search Lijiang on Google then you probably see the photo of a temple with Jade snow mountain at the back. The park is not very big but landscape is beautiful. The bridges, garden, rivers make up a great background for you Instagram photos. Even the toilet is decorated elaborately which look like a small palace from afar.
