Introduction to Lugu Lake Tourism

Since the Yaxi (Ya 'an-Xichang) Expressway was opened to traffic at the end of April this year, it is much more convenient to go from Chengdu to Xichang, and the G5 Beijing-Kunming Expressway has been fully connected in Sichuan.

Before winter really came and autumn was strong, we drove to the beautiful Lugu Lake.

I. Transport

1. Fly from Shanghai to Chengdu on the first day. After picking up the car at the airport, go straight to Xichang. It's about 5 16 kilometers from Chengdu to Xichang, and the speed limit in many sections is 70,90 or 1 10, so it takes about 5 to 6 hours. This car is a Kia Sport off-road vehicle, which was booked online from a car rental company in advance.

Yaxi Expressway crosses the Hengduan Mountain Highland from the edge of Sichuan Basin, along the Southern Silk Road, and crosses the Southwest Deep Mountain Canyon where geological disasters occur frequently. The terrain is extremely steep. Yaxi Expressway also crosses Qingyi River, Dadu River, Anning River and other water systems and the 12 earthquake fault zone. The whole expressway stretches in the mountains, with overlapping mountains and steep terrain. The average elevation per kilometer will rise by 7.5 meters, which is called "ladder expressway" (from Baidu).

The total length of Nishan Tunnel in Daxiangling is 10.7 km. It takes two days to get in and out of the tunnel. It's rainy and foggy near Chengdu, and it's sunny when you get out of the tunnel.

There are three super-large bridges on the Dadu River of Yaxi Expressway, with different bridge types, which are in harmony with the lake and fly over the Dadu River three times between cliffs. Because the Dadu River may be intercepted by the hydropower station on this section, the water surface is calm and there is no imagined danger.

Going to Xichang, Chengdu, because the altitude rises, it feels like a continuous uphill road, so it consumes more fuel. On the contrary, the return trip will be more fuel efficient.

2. The next day, Xichang went to Lugu Lake via Yanyuan. The whole journey is about 270 kilometers, and the newly-built S307 road condition is basically good, but it takes 5 or 6 hours because it is almost a winding mountain kilometer. The section from Pingchuan Town to Yanyuan County is nearly 14km, and it is under construction, which is rather bumpy. There was something wrong with our navigation, which led us to the old S307, an almost abandoned mountain road, which caused us to bump on the washboard road for more than two hours, but the return trip was much faster.

Arrive at Lugu Lake scenic spot at 3 pm and live in Luowa Peninsula near Sichuan.

It is more convenient to drive by yourself. After checking in and packing properly, drive around the lake first, and check the route in advance for tomorrow's tour.

The third day is a tour around the lake. Lugu Lake is about 70 kilometers around the lake and can be surrounded by hiking, cycling and driving. However, hiking and cycling are a form of self-abuse. If you are young enough, you can be crazy.

4. On the fourth day, I will return to Chengdu directly from Lugu Lake, with a total distance of about 790 kilometers. The estimated journey is 1 1 hour. We leave at 6: 30 and arrive at the airport at 5: 30 in the afternoon. An hour's journey. It's not very tiring for two people to take turns driving. Besides, driving on Panshan Highway is fun.

Two. live

In fact, most of Lugu Lake belongs to Sichuan. However, because the propaganda work in Yunnan is better than that in Sichuan, most people think that Lugu Lake belongs to Yunnan. Of course, the quality of road conditions has played a certain role. Yaxi Expressway is blocked, so it is not convenient to travel from Chengdu. It is said that Shu Dao is difficult to travel and it is difficult to go to the sky.

Every village around Lugu Lake has inn accommodation, and there are only two star-rated hotels. Accommodation in Daluoshui Village in Yunnan was developed earlier with complete supporting facilities. Hotels and bars also have many choices. Now the most famous one is Rig Peninsula. There are many inns and bars with different customs on the island, which are close to the water tower and have a petty bourgeoisie atmosphere. But some people imitate each other, such as Lijiang and Dali.

We live in an inn in Luowa Peninsula, Sichuan, which is close to Caohai Scenic Area. The rooms are all French windows, from which you can see Lugu Lake. Sitting on the balcony facing Lugu Lake at sunset is suitable for being in a daze.

Third, food.

Sichuan cuisine and Yunnan cuisine are the main dishes here, and there are many introductions on the Internet. The most famous is pork belly, which is actually bacon. People who don't like meat will feel fat. I have eaten buckwheat cake made by the owner in the inn, which is delicious. Dinner is a random restaurant. In short, all the dishes are salty and spicy, suitable for people with heavy tastes.

Four. ticket

Even the guests staying in the scenic inn need to buy tickets to enter the scenic spot. This is 80 yuan in Sichuan, but I saw you enter Lugu Lake from Lijiang on the Internet. Admission 100 yuan. I don't know why. It is worth mentioning that the ticket for the Goddess Cave ropeway near Nisai Village, 90 yuan, is very worthwhile. This is a place with a panoramic view of Lugu Lake. The station on the ropeway is 3425 meters above sea level. Standing on the commanding heights to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Lugu Lake is really a feast for the eyes.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) climate

In winter, the temperature difference between morning and evening in Lugu Lake is very large. The highest temperature during the day is about 24 degrees. Under the irradiation of the sun, it will feel very hot, but at night, after the sun goes down, it will be very cold. The lowest temperature is only 5 or 6 degrees, so you always need a thick coat with only a T-shirt inside.

Attracted by intransitive verbs

We live in Caohai Scenic Area, close to the footbridge. In the early morning, we walked on the footbridge. It is foggy in the distance, and the reeds on the grass sea are swaying in the wind, which is very beautiful. Then you can go to Tusi House, Black Lamaism Temple and Niaojue Village to worship the gods. These are all scenic spots to enjoy the lakes and mountains. After that, you can cross Xiaoluoshui Village and Li Ge Peninsula, take a cableway to the 3,425m Goddess Cave and enjoy the panoramic view of Lugu Lake until Daluoshui Village.

Quiet is the main theme of Lugu Lake, and pure blue is the main color of Lugu Lake. Golden Hu Yangshu, colorful pig-trough boats, rolling green hills in the distance, small islands with different shapes in the lake and winding lakeshore constitute a charming landscape painting.
