【China。七彩雲南】20140726。瀘沽湖與神秘女兒國 Lugu Lake & The Women’s Kingdom

IMG_0940.jpg

來到秀麗的瀘沽湖,讓我們對神秘的女兒國有了進一步的認識。瀘沽湖位於雲南省與四川省之間,湖邊的居民以摩梭人為主。摩梭人屬母系社會,女性當家,男不婚、女不嫁,有走婚的習俗。我們因第二天得提早啟程回麗江,遊瀘沽湖的行程就只選了坐豬槽船遊湖及晚上的篝火晚會。雖然沒有環湖,錯失了好些景點,但還是不虛此行,收穫不少。
During our visiting at Lugu Lake, we learn more about the real Women’s Kingdom. Lugu Lake is located on the border between Yunnan Province and Sichuan Province. The main inhabitants here are Mosuo people, who still remain their traditional culture and matriarchal society structure. There are no marriage and women play a main role in family and society. This’s why this area is also named as Women’s Kingdom. Due to the road condition, we needed to depart the next day on time in the morning to go back to Lijiang. So we only had the chance to take a boat tour at the lake and to join the campfire party in the evening. Although we missed some interesting places to visit, but we gained a lot of wonderful memories in this trip.

瀘沽湖之介紹(轉自雲南中青國際旅行社,連結:http://www.yunnaninfo.com/chinesebig5/yunnan/lijiang/attraction/luguhu.htm

瀘沽湖位於雲南寧蒗縣與四川鹽源縣之間,南距寧蒗縣城72公里。湖面海拔2685米,面貌約48.5平方公里,其中雲南境內30.5平方公里,總容水量19.53億立方米,湖水向東流人雅窘江,最後注入金沙江,屬長江水系。該湖平均水深40米,最深處達93.5米,在雲南湖泊中,僅次於澄江撫仙湖,居第二位。

瀘沽湖不僅水清,而且島美。瀘沽湖四周青山環抱,湖岸曲折多灣,共有17個沙灘、14個海灣;湖中散佈5個全島、3個半島、1個海堤連島,一般高出水面15至30公尺,遠看象一隻只綠色的船,飄浮在湖面。其中,寧蒗一側的黑瓦吾島、裡無比島和裡格島,成為湖中最具觀賞和遊覽價值的三個景點,被譽為“蓬萊三島”。黑瓦吾島位於湖心,距離湖岸落水村2500米,島上樹術蔥籠,百鳥群集,是南來北往的候鳥、野鴨的棲息之處,也是昔日永甯土司阿雲山總管的水上行宮,美國學者洛克也曾旅居。

Introduction of Lugu Lake (http://www.travelchinaguide.com/attraction/yunnan/lijiang/lugu_lake.htm)

Lugu Lake lies 200 kilometers (approximately 124 miles) from the center of Lijiang City, on the border between Ninglang County in Yunnan Province and Yanyuan County in Sichuan Province. It is like a beautiful pearl shining among the hills of the northwest plateau in Yunnan.
The lake is in the shape of a horse’s hoof – long from north to south, and narrower from east to west. The vista of the lake changes constantly throughout the day. The morning mist mixed with the light of the rising sun gives it an orange glow covered by mist. When the light of sun causes the hills to throw their shadows onto the water, the lake has a jade green color. The lake is calm and dark green in the evening when the sun sinks, and is peaceful when night comes. Gentle wind blows and water ripples.

On the lake there are five islands. They are different sizes and are like green boats floating on the water. Heiwawu Island, Liwubi Island, and Lige Island are most notable. Heiwawu Island is in the center and has a variety of birds living on it. The smallest is Nixi Island – an oblong rock covered with shrubs and moss. Besides the five islands, there are also three peninsulas and an island which is linked to a seawall on the shore by a path paved with small stones.

House of Mosuo people by Luogu Lake

Mosuo Family at Luogu LakeMystery and charm surround the lake, partly because it was once an unspoiled place and still retains much of its totally natural beauty, but mostly because the Mosuo people who live there form a matriarchal society. There is no marriage. Men stay in the women’s home as mates called ‘Axia’ and the intimate relationship lasts as long as they like. Children are brought up by women, and use the surname of their mothers. Families are composed of the members of the matrilineal kin. Women operate production and management, and hold the principal position in the society, forming a modern day ‘woman’s kingdom’, which adds mystique to this place.

The lake is encircled with hills. The water is clean and inviting, with fish swimming in it. The forest around is dense and the air is fresh. This is a place that is little tainted by modern industry – the natural beauty is retained. The weather is pleasant – it is cool in summer and warm in winter. All the seasons are as comfortable as spring, but the best seasons to come here are spring and summer when the hills are emerald green, the flowers are in bloom and the birds are singing happily.
