Must-see in Kunming - Lugu Lake5/3/2015

Located between Ninglang of Yunnan and Yanyuan of Sichuan China Sichuan Tours, 280km north Lijiang, Lugu Lake (Lugu Hu) is known for its peculiar natural scenery and the unique, mysterious culture of the Mosuo people.The place has become something of a legend because of the matriarchal system that it still upholds even today.

This is the only place in China that still abides by this system. Women are the top leaders of the community's extensive families, and all family members are descendants of the same woman.

There are no husbands and fathers here - lovers meet at night but live separately with their own mother's families by day.

Children are under the care of and supported by their maternal families and adopt the surname of the mothers. All families are composed of the members of the matrilineal kin. Women operate production and management, and hold the principal position in the society, forming a modern day 'woman's kingdom', which adds mystique to this place affordable China tours.

This unique wedlock values affection and gives more freedom to men and women in their relationships. They may choose to unite or separate at will. It has been considered as the living fossil as a basis for a study of social patterns and matriarchal marriage customs.

Wherever you are from, Ninglang, a town 70km and 3hrs away from the lake, is a must stop on route(at least passing by). From Ninglang Kunming Tour to the lake, not matter regular bus or minibus, the fare is around Y30.
