Puzhu Villa of Lugu Lake is nestled in the middle section of the lakeshore in the ancient Mosuo village of Daluoshui — the liveliest spot in the scenic area, yet just a few steps away from the lakeshore. Open the window, and the rippling blue waves come right into view.
Getting around is perfectly convenient: a 3-minute walk takes you into the warmth of bonfire parties and the bustle of the food street; in 5 minutes, you can reach Daluoshui Wharf to explore the lake on a traditional pig trough boat; it’s a 10-minute walk to the passenger station or airport bus stop, and for drivers, the free parking lot is just 5 minutes away. If you’re heading to Lige Viewing Platform, it’s only a 20-minute drive.
Every lake-view room is designed for enjoying the lake: huge floor-to-ceiling windows with an independent lake-view balcony offer an unobstructed 180-degree view of the lake, letting you take in both the softness and grandeur of Mount Gemu. Watch the plateau sunrise leap over the lake in the morning, and sleep under a sky full of stars at night. Thoughtful details fill the room: independent air conditioning, smart toilets, electric curtains, and a scenic bathtub, paired with high-end mattresses and linens. Disposable toilet covers, bathtub covers, and premium toiletries, along with a strict one-change-per-guest policy and full WiFi coverage, cater to every need with care.
The public areas are a world of comfort: in the spacious courtyard, you can sit around sipping tea and chatting; the lake-view lobby connects to a folk music lounge, where you can order a coffee or tea, read, daydream, or admire the view as time drifts by.
All your expectations for Lugu Lake will come true here: in summer, watch water lilies (Nymphoides peltata) carpet the lake; in winter, enjoy the morning mist hovering over the water and feed seagulls skimming the surface. Look up at the cloudless blue sky and white clouds of the plateau, free from any pollution, and escape the hustle and bustle of the world. Listen to the legendary stories of the Mosuo people. In this magical place, we look forward to meeting you.
"First off, I have to praise the hotel's location. It's right by Lugu Lake, and the serene water view is perfect for whiling away an afternoon. In the morning, when the temperature is low, you can even watch the sunrise from your room. Just a few hundred meters away, you'll find the pier, a street full of snacks, and a creative market with what feels like everything you could need.
Next, the service from the butler was incredibly attentive. They contacted us the day before check-in and even sent a lovely car to pick us up on the day, helping with our luggage. If we wanted to go out for food or sightseeing nearby, they'd send a car for us. Since the hotel entrance is on a pedestrian street and our own car couldn't get in, the butler was always pleasant and would come pick us up right away with just a phone call, even for a five-minute drive.
The hotel also provided many complimentary items. The fridge had free Coca-Cola and tamarind juice. In the afternoon, they delivered fruit and rose tea, and after we returned from our evening stroll, there was warm white fungus and goji berry soup. When we checked out, we even received rose brown sugar as a farewell gift! All in all, the experience was excellent. If I ever visit Lugu Lake again, I'll definitely choose to stay at Pusu."
