The water blossoms of Lugu Lake
Every summer, tiny white flowers quietly bloom across the surface of Lugu Lake. Their botanical name is ottelia acuminata, a plant extremely sensitive to its environment – only the clearest, purest waters can nurture its delicate existence. In the world of the Mosuo people, these blossoms are more than just a poetic adornment of the lake – they are also a treasured gift on the dining table. Whether lightly stir-fried or cooked into soup, the flower carries flavors that have been savored for generations. Its presence is a grace from nature and reflects the Mosuo ethnic group's deep respect for ecology and their wisdom in living in harmony with the land.
