Situated at the border between Yunnan and Sichuan Province, Lugu Lake covers 50 square kilometer and height in 2,700 meters above sea level. Being tucked away in this remote area has preserved the natural environment surrounding the lake, and saved it waters from pollution. On a still day, Lugu Lake becomes a mirror of immense proportions.
The lake's shores are home to the ethnic Mosuo people, who are still living under matriarchy. A typical Mosuo family is composed of a dozen or individuals, all descendants of one ancestral mother. Each family is led by the grandmother of the oldest generation, and daily life is run by a capable female member, who also controls the family purse. The uncles are in charge of production and also take care of the children born by the females out of their "visiting marriage".
