You will find Lugu Lake at the boundary of Yanyuan County in Sichuan Province and Ninglang County in Yunnan Province, with the area jointly administered by both provinces.
For a long time, this area has been a bit of a hidden secret. Secluded and isolated because of the difficulty in reaching here.
But with an improvement in transport links over recent years, this pearl on the plateau is increasing in popularity with visitors.
The waters here resemble one colour, with fishing boats slowly guiding across the lake. It is a haven of tranquility, away from the hustle and bustle of city life.
When the sun comes out, the waters resemble a huge mirror, turning blue and making for some spectacular vistas.
