Written in Black Water in Gong Yu and Rope Water in Shan Hai Jing more than 2000 years ago during the Warring States Period. During the Three Kingdoms period, it was called Lushui, and Zhuge Wuhou "crossed Lushui in May, which was deserted". Jinsha River is steep and steep, with breathtaking river surface and difficult shipping. Jinsha River is the main source of sediment in Yichang Station, the main stream of the Yangtze River, because of its steep riverbed and strong scouring by flowing water.

Lugu Lake is located at the junction of Yanyuan County, Sichuan Province and ninglang county, Yunnan Province, and is under the jurisdiction of Sichuan and Yunnan. East of the lake is Luguhu Town, Yanyuan County, and west is Yongning Township, ninglang county. The lake, commonly known as Zuosuohai, was called Ledehai and Luku Lake in ancient times. It is 2685 meters above sea level, 9.5 kilometers in length, 7.5 kilometers in width, 90 meters in maximum depth and 40 meters in average depth, with an area of 49.5 square kilometers and a water storage capacity of 950 million cubic meters. Lugu Lake is the third deepest freshwater lake in China (the first is Tianchi Lake in Changbai Mountain at the junction of China and North Korea, and the second is Fuxian Lake in the southeast of Dianchi Lake in Kunming, Yunnan), with an average depth of more than 40 meters and the deepest 93.5 meters.

Walking Wedding Bridge The walking wedding bridge is located in Caohai area in the southeast waters of Lugu Lake, and it is the only bridge on Lugu Lake. Under the bridge, due to years of sediment deposition, the water depth becomes shallow, and there are dense reeds, which look like a grass sea from a distance. The locals call it "grass sea". The wedding bridge is where Mosuo men and women date. The Mosuo people along Lugu Lake pursue the custom of "men don't marry and women don't marry".

A bonfire was lit at the bonfire party. I saw Mosuo young man wearing a wide-brimmed hat, a black velvet dress with red collar and sleeves or yellow cuffs, and a red belt around his waist. Mosuo girl is wearing a red gold-rimmed blouse. With the rhythm of music, boys and girls dressed in ancient costumes are full of energy, jumping and shouting "Arnold, Arnold" from time to time.
