I drove 4 hours on mountain roads to Lugu Lake for this 270° lake view window!

For the view outside the window of Lugu Lake, half in Sichuan and half in Yunnan, I drove 4 hours on mountain roads. The moment I checked into Xujie·Shanhaishi, all my fatigue disappeared—this is not just a guesthouse, it’s like framing Mount Gemu and Lugu Lake right inside the room! The scenery outside the window is simply divine! Backed by Mount Gemu, facing Lugu Lake directly, the late autumn and early winter cattails sway their flower spikes, flocks of seagulls skim the lake surface, and the evening glow dresses the sacred mountain in red. Every frame feels like a fairy tale in the "Kingdom of Women"! The Mosuo people paddle into Caohai through the morning mist, young men go in search of the story of "A Xia," and even the wind carries a spiritual vibe. This isn’t just staying in a hotel; it’s living inside the legend of Lugu Lake~ The guesthouse details hit all the right notes for aesthetics and comfort! With an investment of tens of millions for only 10 rooms, the wabi-sabi style designed by Teacher Yiping is amazing! Rammed earth old walls mixed with forest-scented old wood bring the mountains, water, and forest into the room. You’ll want to toss your phone aside—after all, you’re breathing pure air, and your body and mind relax completely! Each room offers a 270° view; soaking in the lake-view bathtub while watching the sacred mountain, lighting a real French fireplace at night, southern kids playing with firewood happily spinning around for the first time~ The amenities maximize the luxury experience! King Koil bedding feels like sinking into clouds, Parma water toiletries, Dyson hairdryer, MARSHALL speakers, and even a girls’ care kit (makeup remover wipes, sanitary pads, bangs stickers) are thoughtfully prepared—detail lovers will be moved to tears! Scattered books everywhere are super healing. In the afternoon, lounge on the private lawn in front of the courtyard, bask in the sun while sipping exquisite afternoon tea, and every casual photo looks like a masterpiece painting~ The service is warm like meeting old friends! The butlers feel like longtime friends, offering free pick-up and drop-off within 15 km, patiently answering any questions~ Breakfast is a carefully perfected Western platter plus millet porridge, with coffee aroma blending with the lake breeze, making every meal feel ceremonial; if you want a drink, the bar’s special coffee or cocktails are a must-try and a check-in item for every guest! By the way, Teacher Xie Ke has praised it too, so you can trust the quality and go for it~ For this window, this lake, and this sense of relaxation, Lugu Lake is truly worth a visit! 🏨 Hotel Name: Lugu Lake Xujie·Shanhaishi Hotel 📍 Address: No. 1 Niukaidi, Lvjiawan Village, Daluoshui, Yongning Township, Lijiang City
