Sichuan: Lugu Lake

After I finished Beijing Xian tour in North part of China, I fly to the south of Sicuan. From Lijiang to Lugu Lake, the first feeling is quiet. The place where I travel is called Lige, a small Peninsula, along which there were over 10 inns. Compared with the crowded street in Old Town of Lijiang,the countable tourists made Lugu Lake like a fictitious land of peace.

Boating to Camel Peak to see sunrise is a traditional your in Lugu Lake. After several days rain before, the sky turned completely blue in that morning. I got up at 5 o’clock and walk into the lake bank, and find the boat we booked before which is called Zhucao Boat. Under the whity sky, we boated to the center of the lake. What we only could hear is the sound made by quant and water. With time goes by, the eastern sky turned into slightred.

After about 20 minutes, we arrived at the foot of Camel Peak. At that time, the sun had rose to the sky. The scenery in front of us was like a scroll painting. The sunlight gave the surrounding clouds with various colors, and the lake reflected the whole sky, rippling with the small waves. Looking from a far distance, there were fishermen busy working. Under the sunlight,the little fishing boats became silhouettes, just like boating in a picture. Lugu Lake tour is another highlight trip during my journey in China, after I travel Xian.
