Lugu Lake, China
The ArcadiaPlace, Lugu Lake
The ArcadiaPlace sits at the edge of Lugu Lake in Mukua Village, Yanyuan County, one of the few properties in southwestern China positioned directly within the territory of the Mosuo people, a matrilineal society whose customs and architecture have remained largely intact. The setting, an alpine lake at altitude with traditional village structures nearby, places it in a narrow category of culturally grounded accommodation that most of China's interior provinces cannot match.
