Our trip in Yunnan lead us to the upper northern border with Sichuan. This is the location of Lugu Hu (泸沽湖), a beautiful lake amidst the mountains. This place is perfect for hiking. Swimming is, as usually in China, not allowed. We spent 2 nights around the lake, which was enough to enjoy the scenery to the fullest. The second day, we drove around the lake by scooter. It only takes 3 hours that way. The soft climate here is very comfortable.
It was fun to get into Chinese traffic for a while. Although nothing compared to the business of a bustling city, the driving around Lugu Hu is still the same as in the rest of China, meaning: hazardous takeovers, speeding on small roads and a lot of horn blowing. Below you can find a video shot from the back of the scooter. Unfortunately, nothing exciting happened while filming, but you can get a glimpse of what the roads around the lake look like.
