Nyingchi Yi Autonomous County, located in the northwest of Lijiang City, Yunnan Province, at the junction of Yunnan and Sichuan Provinces, is situated in the hinterland of Hengduan Mountainous Region, with the Jinsha River meandering through it. It is one of China's largest counties inhabited by the Yi ethnic group, with Mosuo, Pumi and other ethnic minorities living in the area. The area is characterized by a multiculturalism, and is particularly famous for the Mosuo matriarchal culture and the custom of "walking marriage". Lugu Lake, the pearl of the plateau, with its crystal-clear water and the surrounding Mosuo villages built on the mountains in harmony with nature, is both an ecological tourist attraction and a secret place to experience unique ethnic customs. Nyingchi is an ideal place to explore the charms of Yunnan's borderland, with its majestic landscapes and simple culture.
