Lugu Lake — The Kingdom of Women 美丽的女儿国—泸沽湖

Lugu Lake is located in the North West Yunnan plateau in the centre of Ningliang Yi Autonomous County. The middle of the lake forms the border between Yunnan Province and the Sichuan province. It is an alpine lake at an elevation of 2,685 metres and is the highest lake in the Yunnan Province. Lugu Lake is a popular side excursion from Lijiang. It usually takes around 7-8 hours bus ride(including a lunch stop), from Lijiang to Lugu Lake due to poor road condition. A highway to Lugu Lake is almost completed and will shorten the distance to 3-4 hours. And an airport in Lugu Lake will be completed in 2 years time. Soon, this place will be swamped with tourists. Lugu Lake has an admission fee of RMB78. More photos here.
