Every year before the Spring Festival, I always arrange a vacation for myself.
In late January 2017, I chose Lugu Lake as a vacation spot. In order to preserve some mystery, I did not explain it to my family in advance. Arrived in Kunming the night before and stayed near the airport. This is a town developed specifically for the business of transit passengers, and the service is still very thoughtful.
The next morning, the hotel was in charge of sending us to the airport, where we boarded the flight at 9 o'clock. It was not until we exchanged the boarding pass that we had to reveal our destination, the Eye of Ninglang - Lugu Lake.
The flight landed on time at Lugu Lake Airport, which was built after several mountain peaks were flattened. Outside the airport, a brother named Gyatso was already waiting for us. He was the pick-up master arranged for me by the "Confused Nest" Inn (later I found out that he was also a family member of the host of the Inn). On the way, we overlooked the panorama of Lugu Lake. When entering the scenic spot, my wife and I were asked to buy tickets (remember it was 100/person, children were exempt).
The Gyatso brothers sent us to the Luowa Wharf, where we took a wooden boat to the inn, which is already a territory of Sichuan. The inn is right by the lake, and it can be reached from the pier over the hills, but it is inconvenient to carry luggage, so the guests who stay have the inn's boat to pick up and drop off.
It was already afternoon when we checked in at the inn. The inn is close to the lake, and all the rooms have lake view. I booked a suite with a 270° panoramic view on the second floor. The bed faces the lake, the sofa faces the lake, and even the toilet and bathtub face the lake. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can look at Wangfei Island in the lake. There are no other inns or restaurants around, so there is no hustle and bustle. Only the owner of the inn lives next to him. Occasionally, tourists passing by over the hill will come down to have a look; Just called "Confused", and often 'lost' dog, wandering in and out.
The butler of the inn asked us what arrangements we had, do we want to go out for a walk, and whether we will have dinner in the store? (Three meals a day are free for in-house guests, but they cannot order food, because the food they buy back from going out every day is not certain, so they can eat whatever they want) The altitude of Lugu Lake is about 2,700 meters. My little son went to the plateau for the first time. Low-grade fever, wilting, so I don't go out for activities. Soak a pot of Pu'er (provided in the room), and enjoy the fragrance of tea while watching the scenery outside the window... The night falls, and you can see the stars in the sky when you look up, which is something you can't see in the city . At night, peaceful and quiet, it seems that you can hear the breathing of the stars...
In the morning, the housekeeper came to the trestle bridge early to attract gulls and birds. We threw the bread crumbs into the air, and the gulls circled happily to eat the bread crumbs, occasionally making the sound of scrambling. After breakfast, the guests went out one after another. We just walked over the hills and walked to the Luowa Wharf where we boarded the boat. We had lunch at a "Chongqing Restaurant" and enjoyed the sunshine. In the afternoon, I returned to the inn and locked myself in the inn with a bay of clear water, as if in a painting. Instead of wandering around, it is better to stay in the house and enjoy the beautiful scenery. It's exactly: when you look up, you can see all the scenery, so why go out and look around? On your own terrace, enjoying the afternoon tea provided by the inn, looking at Wangfei Island, and smoking a bag of cigarettes, it is really comfortable; the girl laid a mat in front of the window, and practiced her favorite yoga magic... At night, I turned off all the lights in the room, opened the curtains in the bathroom, and my son and I lay in the bathtub and took a bath, looking at the lake sparkling under the stars...
On the last day at Lugu Lake, we were still staying at the inn. Two "famous people" from the inn visited our room. One was the dog "Confused" who was known from all over the world and came in to find some snacks. , if the housekeeper hadn't said that the old man had a bad stomach, under his sincere gaze, he would have given him something to eat; What was it for then. Now that you're here, let's leave a photo as a souvenir.
In the evening, we made an appointment with the housekeeper to take us to Lijiang. The car was the one of the Gyatso brothers who picked us up from the airport. The price was very reasonable (800 yuan, which was comparable to what we checked online).
On the morning of leaving, it was still as quiet as usual. I hurriedly wrote down a few words of feelings on the guestbook in the room, and then boarded the boat and left this quiet inn... The short three days seemed like a world away, lingering in this corner of Biwan, willing To be a water plant; to enjoy the simplicity and tranquility of life, without intentional restraint and accumulation, to dilute, to be peaceful, and to be in one's own state of mind...
Later, the inn was moved to the south bank of the lake (belonging to the border of Yunnan), and the original inn was also renamed.
Later, the cat named "Fu Er" passed away; and the dog "Confused" got his own "girlfriend"...
