Walking Wedding Bridge

The Walking Wedding Bridge is located in the Caohai area of ??the southeastern waters of Lugu Lake. It is the only bridge on Lugu Lake. Due to long-term sedimentation, the water depth under the bridge has become shallow, and there are dense reeds growing there. From a distance, it looks like a sea of ??grass, so the locals call it the "Sea of ??Grass." The Walking Marriage Bridge is a place where Mosuo men and women meet. The Mosuo people on the shores of Lugu Lake practice the "walking marriage" custom of "men do not marry and women do not marry".
