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.
"The hotel's location is excellent, right on the edge of Lugu Lake. As soon as you step out, you can see the lake directly. It's incredibly relaxing to sit on a small chair by the hotel entrance, facing Lugu Lake, whether you're just zoning out or using your phone.
If you turn right from the hotel exit and walk a bit, you'll find a pier where you can take a boat tour around Lugu Lake. There are also many seagulls at the pier, so you might want to bring some bread to feed them. The area around the pier also has more dining options, with KFC, Mixue Ice Cream & Tea, and various other restaurants mostly located there.
The hotel's service is superb. They offer a free shuttle service within a three-kilometer radius, and their concierge, Er Che, provided excellent service. He contacted us the day before we arrived to confirm our check-in details and the time our bus would arrive for pickup the next day. Every evening from 8 PM to 10 PM, they offer a complimentary sweet lotus seed soup, which they'll arrange to deliver to your room upon request. The hotel's breakfast is also quite good; a bowl of rice noodles, a bowl of congee, some side dishes, and an egg are more than enough to fill you up.
The hotel rooms are very clean, and the shower and toilet are completely separate. Overall, I am very satisfied with this hotel."
