CNY YunNan | 6-Day Trip to Visit LiJiang+Lugu Lake+Shangrila+Meili Snow Mount



Lijiang, an attractive tourist destination in Yunnan Province, is considered a fairyland blessed with fresh air, clear streams, breathtaking snowy mountains and an undisturbed landscape inhabited by friendly people. It exercises jurisdiction over four counties and an Old Town District. This is the main region inhabited by the Naxi People, one of China's 55 minority ethnic groups.



The Old Town District has the well preserved Lijiang Old Town, listed a World Cultural Heritages site by UNESCO in 1997. The Old Town was once the center of the city and continues to maintain the original flavor of the local lifestyle, the typical local architecture and the profound cultural heritage of the region. It is graced by well preserved ancient buildings and the Naxi Culture.



The old streets are the network of the old town, flowing water is the blood, the bars and shops are the temperament and the Naxi folk customs are culture are the soul of Lijiang Old Town. You can not only explore the amazing ancient town with hundred years’ history, but also experience the spirit and feel romantic, relaxing charm of the town without city walls.



Lugu Lake, located between Yunnan Province and Sichuan Province, is the mysterious land for Mosuo people. A visit to Lugu Lake takes you explore matriarchal society, its architecture, food, “visiting marriage” customs, religion, festivals, natural scenery, etc. Diverse experience and fun are waiting for you in the “Kingdom of Women”.



There are many ethnic minority groups inhabited around the lake, such as the Mosuo, Norzu, Yi, Pumi and Tibetan. The most numerous of these are the Mosuo people, a sub clan of the Naxi people, which considered as “a live fossil for researching the marital development history of Human beings” and "the last quaint Realm of Matriarchy". Hence, Lugu Lake is called the “mother lake” by the Mosuo people and it becomes “The Kingdom of Women” and “Home of the Matriarchal Tribe”. 



Traveling to Lugu Lake not only takes you step into a mysterious land to explore the matriarchal society and know its “visiting marriage”, but also feast your eyes with beautiful scenery of the Pearl of Plateau. 



Know Mosuo CultureMosuo people, the sub-clan of Naxi people, have inhabited this area more than 1600 years according to the documents of the Han Dynasty. They have their own language, but no script. They have their own native Daba religion and some are adherence to Tibetan Lamaism.




Mosuo people have still preserved a very harmonious family structure and a system of matriarchal systems. The matriarchal family is composed exclusively of matrilineal members, including grandmother, mother, maternal aunts and uncles (mother’s brothers), sisters and brothers, and the children of oneself and of the sisters. The mother is in charge of the economics of the family.



And in the traditional Mosuo family, they implement “visiting marriage” – either woman or man will marry the other freely. The lovers meet at night the woman’s house and at dawn, the man goes home to his own maternal family. The couple will not set up a new family and do not share property.


Meili Snow Mount


Mt. Meili (Kawagebo or Kawakarpo) lies on the eastern outskirts of Shangri-la and is a sacred mountain worshipped by Tibetan Buddhists.  It is among one of the eight sacred mountains the Tibetans worship,looks like gilded when the sun rises.

Kawagebo tops the list of the Eight Holy Mountains in Tibetan Buddhism, which draws tens of thousands of pilgrims who spend 2-3 weeks slowly circumambulating (circling) Kawagebo's gigantic base from the end of autumn to the start of winter.



It has 13 peaks which are over 6,000 meters (19,685 feet) above sea level, known as the "Prince's 13 peaks". Mount Kawagebo peak, the Tibetan word for "White Snow Mountain", commonly known as "the God of Snow Mountains, is 6740 meters (22,112 feet) above the sea level.
