The Matriarchal Mosuo People - Jingdezhen

In the northeast part of Lijiang Prefecture, southwest China, lies Lugu Lake, around which live 30,000 members of the Mosuo ethnic group. Their society is matriarchal.

The beautiful Mosuo girl, together with the group's exquisitely made canoes and the fisherman's songs heard everywhere are called the "Three Matchless Things of the Lake." With the construction of the LijiangNinglang Highway, to be finished this year, Lugu Lake is expected to welcome more visitors in the peak tourist year of 2002.
