A trip to Lugu Lake washes the soul.

The rugged Panshan road is hidden in the mountains covered by coniferous forests, and cars bump on the narrow and rugged mountain road. Layers of mountains, dense pine forests, flying clouds and clear blue sky, with infinite reverie and expectation, I look forward to seeing the mysterious Lugu Lake and proving the last daughter country in the world, this shocking ancient land.

When bypassing the peak in front of us, the afterglow of the setting sun reflected brilliant brilliance on a plane mirror with strange colors, and almost all the people in the car were shocked! I have seen many charming scenery, but you will be sincerely amazed at the clear water in front of you. Looking at Lugu Lake from a distance, there is no ripple in peace, quiet and meticulous. The lake is illusory like seven-color jadeite, with lush mountains, clear blue sky and white catkin-like clouds reflected on the lake. It's a fairyland on earth! I have never seen such quiet water, as if I had never been disturbed by a trace of earthly life; I have never seen such a colorful lake, as if all the colorful rainbows in the world came from there. She is so pure and comfortable, she is so noble and clear, and your soul is purified in an instant. Her beauty is breathtaking, and no words can describe it except surprise and intoxication. This is the first time I have been so lost in the scenery before me! I got out of the car with my mouth open, staring blankly, standing on the side of the road and looking at the Yaochi on the earth. Forget admiration, can't bear to blink. It took me a long time to recover, so I quickly picked up the camera and continued to take pictures. After that, everyone has only one wish: hurry down the mountain, approach this charming Lugu Lake and savor this dusty ancient land!

When we came to the lake with the golden glow, we found the gentle waves slowly rocking the slender pig trough boat on the shore on the mirror-like water surface. The cool breeze on the plateau combined with the rosin in the mountain forest came to our faces, cleaning our fatigue of the day and purifying us ordinary people. At this moment, we are as clean as a fairy. At night, we sleep in the Mosuo people's hut by the lake, listening to the murmur of the lake, like a lullaby in heaven, and slowly send us strangers into fantastic dreams.

Early the next morning, we couldn't wait to ride the unique pig trough boat (a canoe hollowed out with thick logs in the middle, named "pig trough boat" because it looks like a trough for feeding pigs) on the lake. The strong sunshine on the plateau shines directly on the water, which makes people unable to open their eyes. The cold lake splashed on the face, making people tremble. The water there is unusually clear, with colorful pebbles and small fish at the bottom of the lake looming between the waves of the sun. The water there is so pure that we can drink it at will without any treatment, which is much purer than our tap water. Just when we couldn't help drinking water with both hands, Mosuo brothers and sisters kindly reminded us that the plateau Shui Han there is rich in minerals, and I'm afraid our stomachs are "too much".

There are not only unparalleled scenery, but also peculiar ethnic customs. The local people are called Mosuo people, with a small population, and the ancient matriarchal clan system has continued. The most representative is the unique custom of going there to get married, which is why it is called the "last daughter country". Young men and women there will never get married or get married. They sing and dance at the evening song and dance party. When the boy met a girl with a happy heart, he gently scratched the girl's palm. If the girl agrees, she will respond to the boy in the same way, and the boy can get married at his aunt's house at night; If the girl doesn't agree, the boy can only find another girl. When getting married, the boy can only jump into the girl's house quietly when everyone in her family is asleep, and he must bring two things, a straw hat and fresh meat. It is precisely because almost every family of Mosuo people has dogs, and they also bring fresh meat to feed them to prevent them from barking, and they also bring straw hats to hang in front of their girls' homes to tell other married boys that there are people there. If you disturb the girl's family during the divorce, then this marriage will be declared a failure. In the morning before dawn, the girl hasn't got up yet, so the young man must leave the unmarried girl as soon as possible. Once found, he will work hard for the girl's family for three years. If you look closely at Mosuo's courtyard, you will find a short courtyard wall. Yes, that's for Mosuo boys to get married. This is probably the strangest custom you have ever seen with your own eyes!

For a long time after I came back from Lugu Lake, my whole person seemed to wander in a beautiful and mysterious land, intoxicated with the real and illusory mountains and rivers, and my dream seemed to float in the gorgeous skirt of Mosuo girl and I couldn't wake up. ...
