"Morning mist at Lugu Lake, like a grand oil painting exhibition"

Glistening light! The morning mist at Lugu Lake is truly a national treasure-level landscape painting! 1. Best Viewing Time • Season: From October to April of the following year is the period when the morning mist is the thickest, especially from November to January. The temperature is low in the early morning, and moisture easily condenses, making the mist scenery most spectacular. • Time: 6:30 AM to 8:30 AM is when the mist is thickest and the light and shadow are most beautiful. After 8:30 AM, the sun rises higher, and the mist gradually dissipates. If you miss it, you have to wait another day. 2. Best Viewing Locations • Lige Peninsula: A classic check-in spot, the peninsula in the morning mist looks like a pearl embedded in the lake. At sunrise, sunlight shines on the mist, sparkling with golden light. Every shot looks like a masterpiece. • Nise Village: Relatively less crowded, fewer people and beautiful scenery. The morning mist here feels more tranquil, allowing you to capture the perfect blend of misty mountain village, prayer flags, and the lake surface. • Goddess Bay: Suitable for watching sunsets, but the morning mist here also has a unique charm. The lake surface is calm like a mirror, with mist swirling around, resembling a fairyland. 3. Practical Tips • Keep warm: The temperature is extremely low in the early morning. Wear thick coats, down jackets, hats, scarves, and gloves to avoid catching a cold. • Arrive early: For popular viewing spots like Lige Peninsula, it is recommended to arrive half an hour early to secure the best shooting position. • Equipment preparation: Camera and tripod are essential. The light is dim on misty days, and a tripod ensures clear shots. Fully charge your phone in advance and turn on HDR mode for better photos. • Safety first: Visibility is low in the mist, and the lakeside is slippery. Be sure to pay attention to safety when walking and avoid dangerous areas near the lake. The morning mist at Lugu Lake is a brief feast gifted by nature. It is not ostentatious but enough to amaze time. If you also yearn for this tranquility and beauty, why not quietly wait for an encounter of mist and light by the lakeside of Lugu Lake in the early morning.
