The water in this lake is green and lucid and the environment around is well preserved. Mosuo people have been living by the lake since 111B.C. Over the centuries they have maintained many of their ancient traditions, including their unique marriage. Men and women are not united by wedlock, each living at the mother's home respectively, yet keeping a casual cohabitation relationship. Mosuo women can freely choose their lovers without any interference. Their love lives are not affected by outdated concepts, money, social status, religion or family clans.
Women can also switch partners whenever they choose.
Each Mosuo man sets out to meet his lover at night, returns early the next morning and helps the matriarchal family carry out its farm work. Men are always the guests of women's families. If you would like to share your wonderful travel stories with others, then click here .
