[2025 Ninglang Attraction] Travel Guide for Xiaoluoshui Village (Updated May)

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 On the border between Yunnan and Sichuan, we discovered this Mosuo village forgotten by time - Xiaoluoshui Village. This village lies quietly on the north bank of Lugu Lake, surrounded by green mountains on three sides. We chose this village as our accommodation. When we opened the wooden window of the inn, we could see the glazed lake water - even the provincial boundary is hidden under the stone steps at the entrance of the village, and every step could lead to a "cross-provincial" trip 🗺️ Compared to the bustling villages, I love the purity here more: there are only dozens of wooden houses in the village. When it's dark, when you look up, you can see the Milky Way falling into the lake. Very romantic and beautiful!

Great Compassion Conch Sutra Hall is located on the top of a small hill on the Nise Peninsula between Xiaoluoshui Village and Nise Village. Xiaoluoshui Village is a natural village on the shore of Lugu Lake. It is beautiful, surrounded by mountains on three sides and a lake on one side, with green mountains and clear waters. It is traditional and ancient, with ancient dwellings well preserved in the village. The walls are made of wood, the roofs are made of wooden boards, and the unique wooden houses form a courtyard, which is practical and beautiful. It is also very modern, as tourism has long awakened the sleeping village, and the fashionable elements from outside have long been immersed here, making it an ancient yet modern mountain village. The small village has only more than 20 households, and it is the tourists from outside who have broken the tranquility here. Yunnan and Sichuan meet in front of the village gate, and you can step across two provinces. Next to it is Nise Village, which is also a beautiful village. There are two trees, one tall and one short, standing side by side by the lake, like a couple taking a walk, hence the beautiful and romantic name: Couple Tree. For many years, through the seasons, they have always been together. There are no vows of eternal love, no passionate embraces, only mutual respect and companionship. They guard the years together, weather the storms, and accompany each other forever.

Lugu Lake, formerly known as Luku Lake, is located on the border of Yunnan and Sichuan. It is the third deepest freshwater lake in China, with a maximum depth of 105.3 meters and a surface area of 50.1 square kilometers. Two-thirds of the lake is in Sichuan, and one-third is in Yunnan. Xiaoluoshui Village, located on the shore of Lugu Lake, is the last matriarchal society of the Mosuo people in China. The village has only 24 households and is a traditional and ancient Mosuo village. The Daba Sutra of the Mosuo people contains a verse that says, "There are mountains, water, and spirits, and people are just listeners." Compared to the villages on the west side of Lugu Lake in Yunnan, many villages on the east side in Sichuan still retain Daba and daily religious rituals. Xiaoluoshui Village is a little-known secret place that gathers the essence of Lugu Lake's beauty. It is located at the foot of Goddess Mountain, where you can see the sacred scene of the sun shining on the golden mountain at sunrise. Here, you can also experience the wonderful feeling of standing with one foot in Sichuan and the other in Yunnan. 👍 Top Recommendation: Mosuo Daughters' Kingdom Cultural Microcosm The last matriarchal society in China, with traditional and ancient residential buildings and the original Mosuo ethnic customs, is still well-preserved. It has been open to the public in recent years and is a great place to experience Mosuo customs. 👍 Top Recommendation: Transparent Sea and Water Flowers With little tourism development, the water quality is good, clear, and transparent, and in summer, the water is full of flowers. In the afternoon, you can take a nap by the lake and listen to the sound of the waves lapping against the shore, which is comfortable and pleasant. 👍 Top Recommendation: Brilliant Starry Sky With little light pollution, the night sky is the stage for the stars, which are brilliant and romantic. The stars are visible to the naked eye from the Banshan Island Inn in Xiaoluoshui, and you can take pictures of the stars with your phone. 👍 Top Recommendation: Flocks of Seagulls With few tourists, flocks of seagulls and water ducks float on the water in winter, making it very lively.

Wuhu Xiaoluoshui Village is located in Lijiang, Yunnan Province, and a small part belongs to Sichuan Province. It is the village of Mosuo people in the last primitive matriarchal society on the shore of Lake Bihu. Although the external transportation facilities of the Wuhu Ring Line have been improved in recent years and foreign exchanges have been frequent, the original Mosuo customs are still preserved here. It is a great place for the entire Wuhu to appreciate the customs of ethnic minorities. Its gone. The terrain of Xiaoshuishui Village is like a pearl embedded in the lake of Penghu. The bird's-eye view of the village around the village is a mysterious village in the Penghu Lake. Very sensational. If you are traveling in Xiaoshui Village, it is best not to go directly to the village to visit. The road on the mountainside can enjoy the lagoon from high to low. Xiaoluoshui Village is the last village on the edge of the lake in Yunnan. The junction of Yunnan and Sichuan is at the entrance of the village. The road around the lake is obviously cut in half. The pavement is Yunnan and the asphalt pavement is Sichuan. When you stand on the road around the lake to admire the village of Xiaoshuishui, you can see a lot of eye-catching scenery: the cedar trees, the neatly arranged villages, the blue lakes like jade, the small islands like pearls. The green manor and the romantic lover tree add a very beautiful sense of space and agility to the entire Dashui Village. During the viewing period, the scenery is not drunk and people are drunk. This kind of scenery is also very rare on the lake. It is also one of the few most classic spots in Penghu. Of course it is worth a visit. In addition, there is a relatively historic temple in Xiaoshuishui VillageDabei Hailuo Jingtang. Listening to this name, you know that it belongs to a temple with a double meditation and a temple where the conch is the best victory for Wang Rulai. The temple is located near the Huanhu Highway in the Xiaoshui Village. If you like the Buddhist culture, you can go and see. Some of the strategies for Xiaoshuishui are listed below. 1, About Tickets: Tickets for Small Water Village are included in the big ticket of Penghu Scenic Area, which is the 100 yuan ticket purchased before entering Wuhu. 2, opening hours of the scenic spot: Opening time of Xiaohushui Village in Wuhu is open 24 hours a day, and the security of the entire Xiaoshuishui Village is also very good at night. Sometimes there will be a bonfire party. 3, Suggested play time: The whole scenery of Penghu is very beautiful and great. The scenery that can be seen in different places is not exactly the same. It is divided into many islands and characteristic spots. Its worth taking the time to play. Generally speaking, I suggest to play in Xiaoshui Village for 3-5 hours. If it is like Shan Yejun, I like to take a slow-paced trip or enjoy deep travel advice for 1 day or simply in Xiaoshui Village. Stayed overnight. 4, the best tourist season: Wuhu is a magical lake full of poetry and picturesque scenery, and beautiful all year round. However, from a health point of view, I suggest that it is definitely the best place to visit Wuhu in October in the fall. On the one hand, the temperature is suitable, followed by the air in the autumn is very good, there are many sunny days. 5, Transportation: Small waters village traffic is not very convenient, generally public transportation is difficult to reach directly, but it is not far from Dashuishui Village. It is recommended to go to Xiaoshuishui Village for a self-driving tour or a chartered tour around the lake. 6. Regarding catering and accommodation: The most important thing in small water village is hotel accommodation and restaurants, because the local farmers in this village will have accommodation and meals. Only the environmental conditions are much worse.
