1. The history of Lugu Lake

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, a Mongolian army was defeated in the war and retreated to Lugu Lake. They settled here, married the local indigenous people, and multiplied. Descendants. Xu Xiake, a traveler of the Ming Dynasty, wrote about Lugu Lake in his book "Xu Xiake's Travels". He described Lugu Lake and the three nearby small lakes as "four pools" and recorded that there were three islands in the lake.

In the 1940s, Xiao Shuming, a Han girl, was married to La Baochen, the chieftain (regional governor) of Lugu Lake, and became a very influential Han woman in the Lugu Lake area at that time. figure.

In 1986, Lugu Lake was designated as a provincial nature reserve by the Yunnan Provincial Government. August 1988: It was designated as the second batch of national key scenic spots by the People's Republic of China and the State Council. In 1994, it became a provincial tourist area in Yunnan Province. In May 2001, an earthquake measuring 5.8 on the Richter scale occurred.

October 2001: Lijiang, Yunnan announced at the UNESCO Asia-Pacific Regional Cultural Heritage Management Annual Conference that it would declare Lugu Lake to the United Nations as a world natural and cultural heritage.

In April 2006, a fire broke out in Lugu Lake Town in Sichuan on the east coast of Lugu Lake. Dozens of shops were burned down or seriously damaged. In 2006, Lijiang City began planning to build the Lugu Lake Daughter Country tourist town in the Zhudi area on the north shore of Lugu Lake.

Extended information:

Lugu Lake is located in the connection zone between the Hengduan Mountains and the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau in northern Yunnan and southwestern Sichuan, about 200 meters southwest to the center of Lijiang. kilometers; it is about 265 kilometers east to Xichang City, the capital of Liangshan Prefecture. The lake is 2690 meters above sea level, with a maximum width of 7.3 kilometers from east to west, a maximum length of 9.3 kilometers from north to south, an area of ??48.45 km2, and a total length of lake shoreline of about 48 kilometers.

The south of the center of the lake is divided into two parts of water connected to the north and south by a peninsula in the lake. The shape of the lake surface is like a horseshoe, and some say it is like a kidney.

Lugu Lake is a relatively low-lying basin in the Hengduan Mountains. It has a fault structure in terms of geological structure. It is a plateau dissolution fault lake basin formed by crustal movement. This structure is the same as that of Xinjiang Ili Kazakhstan Autonomous Prefecture. Sailimu Lake in the north is similar.

The entire lake basin of Lugu Lake is made of rock and the inner wall is very steep. However, because a large amount of mountain sediment has been deposited into the lake in geological history, the inner wall of the Sichuan side is less steep than the Yunnan side. The mountains on the side almost reach the bottom of the lake.

Baidu Encyclopedia - Lugu Lake 2. What are the problems in the development of tourism resources in Lugu Lake, Sichuan?

Generally speaking, the development is too fast and the supporting facilities are insufficient, which is related to the local departments' eagerness for quick success and instant benefits.

In the early days, the threshold was too low, and restaurants and hotels were overdeveloped.

The excessive use of wooden buildings has resulted in a huge waste of wood.

The pace of supporting environmental protection software and hardware lags far behind development, and the pollution situation is worrying.

Water and electricity facilities are in short supply.

The awareness of cultural protection is weak, and there are no pre-arranged measures to protect local culture from being polluted by foreign "civilizations." The cultures of the Mosuo, Naxi, and Yi ethnic minorities are improperly protected and are being homogenized seriously.

The transportation construction failed to radiate from the lake to the surrounding areas, resulting in abnormal expansion of the flow of people and materials in the local (lake) area, and low utilization of the surrounding developable resources.

Local residents’ investment in education is too low, which is not conducive to sustainable development.

According to the current development speed and abnormal supporting facilities, Lugu Lake and other scenic spots across the country will become homogeneous and lose their competitiveness in 10 years. But, haha, after ten years there have been several changes in leadership, who cares about this? 3. Why the development of the Lugu Lake Scenic Area has been suspended

Recently, the development and construction of the Lugu Lake Scenic Area, which Lijiang Tourism Company is actively promoting, has been suspended. According to insiders, the project requires relevant government departments to comprehensively upgrade and improve the planning of the Lugu Lake Scenic Area. Before the planning is completed and submitted to the provincial government for approval, the development and construction of the Lugu Lake Scenic Area can only be suspended. At the same time, once the scenic area planning approval is completed, Niukaidi and other scenic area construction projects can proceed normally.

It is understood that the Lugu Lake Scenic Area is located at the junction of Yunnan and Sichuan. It is loved by tourists at home and abroad for its unique customs and geographical features. In recent years, with the convenience of transportation, the number of tourists has also increased. At the same time, the Lugu Lake Scenic Area has officially ushered in the best period of transformation and upgrading to improve quality and efficiency.

On March 13, 2018, Lijiang Lugu Lake Tourism Development Co., Ltd. issued an announcement stating that because the signs and guide systems of the scenic area do not match the development of the scenic area, it is far from consolidating 4A and striving for 5A. The requirements are far away and we recruit partner institutions nationwide. However, less than a month later, I received a notice that the development and construction of the scenic spot had been suspended. The speed of the change was really shocking. In the long run, it is still too early to say whether the suspension of the development of the Lugu Lake Scenic Area project will have a greater impact on Lijiang's annual tourism revenue, but where the road to turning around is is a question.
