There is no direct flight from Shenzhen to Lugu Lake. There are two more convenient methods:
(1) Shenzhen to Kunming (2.5 hours), Kunming to Lugu Lake Ninglang Airport (1 hour);
(2) Fly from Shenzhen to Lijiang (3 hours), Lijiang to Lugu Lake by self-driving or renting a car (about 4 hours).
We chose (1). There are many flights from Shenzhen to Kunming. You can choose according to the situation. However, since the direct flight from Kunming to Ninglang is only once a day, usually around 9:00 in the morning, you have to fly to Kunming one night in advance. , we just took the plane to Kunming at 7:00 p.m., then stayed at the HNA Hotel near Changshui Airport for one night, and then flew to Ninglang the next morning.
Air tickets:
Since late October is already the off-season for tourism, there is no need to book air tickets too much in advance, and the price is good if you book within 2 weeks before departure. You can book a joint flight Shenzhen---Ninglang, or separately book Shenzhen-Kunming, Kunming-Ninglang. Prices vary by airline and time of day. This time we are China Southern Airlines, Shenzhen Airlines, and China Eastern Airlines. The total fare including fuel costs is 2,460 yuan per capita.
Airport Hotel:
HNA Business Hotel Kunming Airport: Ctrip has booking
Inn:
Lugu Lake Pinghai Linfeng Boutique Holiday Inn: Ctrip has booking
From Ninglang Airport to Lugu Lake Scenic Area: (within 1 hour)
Ninglang Airport has airport buses to various accommodation areas. The inn we booked is in Lujiawan, Langfang Village, so we can take the airport bus (30 yuan per person) on the Langfang line and get off at "Taste of Grandmother". Then you can call the store and they will come to pick you up.
For more convenience, we chose a chartered car (booked by the owner of the inn), 200 yuan, and delivered directly to the inn at the airport.
From the airport to the Lugu Lake Scenic Spot, we got off at the toll office and bought tickets to enter the scenic spot: 70 yuan per person, regardless of whether you enter or exit. Then let the driver wait for a while, and we can reach the viewing platform according to the signs. Panoramas are good here.
stay:
There are many inns in Lugu Lake. For details, you can look at other accommodation guides. We booked the latest development "Lujiawan", because we like the original ecology and tranquility. After a lap around the lake, we saw the earliest development "Da Luoshui ", it is indeed relatively lively, with a commercial street; the environment of the "Lige Peninsula" is also good, with many restaurants and hotels; and Lujiawan, where we live, is the last to develop, although the hotels are generally a little distance apart, there are no shopping malls, But the most comfortable (personal preference and feeling)
We chose Pinghai Linfeng Inn this time, and we booked the lake-view room on the third floor with the best view. The double room is about 700+ yuan per room. There is no elevator, but the store offered to help us carry our luggage to the third floor. The view of the lake-view room is really good. You can sit on the balcony every day if you have nothing to do, eat a plateau soft-hearted wild apple, and enjoy the beauty of Lugu Lake in different weather and at different times. Life is like a fairy!
The location of the inn is good, but it should be noted that you need a room with a lake view to have a good view. The price of a room with a good view is twice that of an ordinary room. However, I want to complain about the design of the bathroom in the guest room. There is no door, and there is a large glass that is popular nowadays looking directly at the balcony. A simple shower curtain is used to separate the toilet and the glass shower room. It is not convenient to get dressed after showering. It is recommended The shop installs lifting curtains on the large floor-to-ceiling glass windows.
In addition, the breakfast is on the roof of the fourth floor. The environment is okay, but the breakfast varieties are only soy milk, millet porridge, corn, sweet potato, eggs, fried rice, potato shreds, steamed buns and tacos. We stayed for 3 days, and they were all 3 days the same. If you are used to a simple breakfast, like me, usually an egg, a steamed bun and a cup of soy milk, this kind of breakfast is also quite healthy. But if you look forward to breakfast with the standard of staying in a hotel, you will be disappointed.
There is no restaurant in this inn, but there are firewood chicken, grilled fish and some restaurants nearby. The inn provides bottled water, wild apples and a little snack every day. But there is no drink sale at the front desk of the inn. There are one or two kiosks near the inn where you can buy popular drinks, but my old friend didn’t even buy KSF iced tea, hahaha.
Play:
Take a boat to Caohai-Wangfei Island (100 yuan per person, about 2 hours)
The innkeeper called a taxi for 50 yuan to take us back and forth to the pier (not Lujiawan pier, Lujiawan pier is very close and you can walk).
Chartered car around the lake (300 yuan per car for 4 people, according to the shooting time of 4-6 hours, we even spent 6 hours for lunch)
The driver was booked by the store, and he was also the driver who picked up the plane yesterday. He is very nice. He didn't complain after waiting for us to take pictures for a long time. Praise.
Talk about food: according to personal taste and eating habits, it is for reference only.
The first meal: paper-wrapped fish, Bao Ge paper-wrapped fish recommended by the store
It's grilled fish. The slightly spicy cumin is very fragrant and delicious, but it's a lot of oil. The potato chips at the end are like fried potato chips. Not expensive, 168 for 4 people, ordered by Dianping.
Second meal: firewood chicken, opposite the store
Native chicken is 68 yuan per catty. Generally, a chicken is more than 4 catties. With a catty of ribs and two side dishes, a meal costs 433 yuan.
The third meal: Lige Peninsula, Caiyun Gemu wild mushroom hot pot, 198 yuan
I ordered a small pot with three side dishes. During the period, the store added soup from time to time. The point is that the soup is full at the same time. It feels like a magic pot that can never be eaten, hahaha.
The fourth meal: Matsutake chicken pot recommended by the innkeeper, 538 yuan
On the hillside opposite Lujiawan Wharf, until the end of the cement road, there are no street lights, you need to make an appointment, there is no amazing feeling, I personally think it is average, the point is that it was dark after eating, someone was very scared, and grabbed my arm Running wildly, my arm hurts so much.
Fifth meal: The restaurant of the Firefly Inn next to the inn, grilled fish and side dishes, 248, but not lost.
Sixth Meal: Manshan, fried set meal 288
The environment is good, the amount of dishes is large and the taste is good, enough for 6 people, not bad.
If you want to eat fruit, there are carts selling fruit at Lujiawan Wharf in the evening. The mangoes in Panzhihua are delicious, and the pomegranates are very red. After the selection, they were thoughtfully cut and put in a packing box for us to eat directly when we went back.
About the weather:
At the end of October, it is not very cold, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is large. Sweaters, coats, and scarves are essential. Many locals wear light down or cotton coats. Of course, I have seen people wearing short sleeves.
Check the weather forecast before coming, it's cloudy and rainy these few days, alas. When I arrived on the first day, I saw the blue sky, and after lunch, it became cloudy;
The next day around the lake, it was always cloudy, occasionally seeing a little bit of blue, but when I went out for dinner in the evening, the blue sky suddenly appeared, it was so beautiful!

On the third day, there was a little blue sky against the clouds in the morning, and it was cloudy in the afternoon; against the mirror of the sky, extra points!
Sky mirror shot:
I found this when I was wandering around on the third day. It is on the hillside opposite Lujiawan Wharf, next to the "Qiman" hotel. Speaking of Qiman Hotel (price price 800--1600+), it is also by the lake. Due to the hillside On, maybe the view will be better than what we booked, we will try it next time.
Speaking of Sky Mirror Studio, you can make an appointment for travel photography. On the day we went, the photographer was planning to rest, but seeing us disappointed and reluctant to leave, they only charged us 30 yuan per person, and let us stay There I used my mobile phone to take pictures, and also guided us how to place the post, and helped us take group photos and videos. After going back, XH kept saying, why the same mobile phone, the photographer can shoot so much better than us, so it goes without saying, professional! It is recommended that you make an appointment in advance if you want to travel and shoot! Generally around the lake is 300 yuan per person.
On the day of leaving, wow, look at the picture and talk! Thank you! Here, let me also talk about, as the driver and the shopkeeper said, the weather forecast is not accurate in Lugu Lake! Look at character! Hahaha! I would also like to praise the driver, he is a very nice person. When he sent us to the airport, he knew that we had been here for a few days and today’s weather was the best. He deliberately stopped at the viewing platform for us to take pictures. The panorama of the cover was taken at the viewing platform at the end. of.
Regarding altitude sickness:
I thought that if the altitude is less than 3000 meters, there will be no high reaction, but walking too fast or moving too much is easy to cause heartbeat and headache, but the reaction is not serious, and it will return to normal after a while, so it is still necessary to calm down and slow down. -live!
Finally, I would like to say that Lugu Lake is a place that I have been thinking about since I came back. I don’t know what I miss, the carefree time with my old friends? Is it the picturesque scenery everywhere, or the peaceful state of mind? I understand more and more why some people are reluctant to leave when they come...
Finally, let me say that the rice noodles eaten at Kunming Airport are delicious. I ate at Qiaoxiang Garden at 68 on the way there, and Jianxin Garden at 78 on the return trip. Four old friends agreed that Jianxin Garden was delicious (personal taste)
