Lugu Lake:A mysterious women's kingdom

The Lugu Lake is located at the boundary of southwest China's Sichuan province and Yunnan province. It is a mysterious land with charming sceneries and a unique matriarchal culture.

Lugu Lake covers an area of 50.8 square kilometers at an altitude of 2,688 meters. Encircled by a verdant sea of grass, seven islets are studded in the middle of the lake.

Beyond the southwest corner of Lugu Lake, a clear spring traverses the middle of Sanjia village and flows into the lake along the rim of a meadow. Setting out from a small bridge over the clear spring, we step into a deep, secluded valley.[Photo/chinadaily.com.cn]
