From Kunming, I will be visiting Lijiang and then taking a bus out to Lugu Lake, has anyone ever been? Is there a way to get to Chengdu from Lugu Lake, I do not want to backtrack and go back to Lijiang, instead, going on another route that will get me to Chengdu, as fast and cheap as possible. Thanks

GUEST64326	Hi, I have the same question - how do I get from LUGU Lake to Chengdu? Have the routes and travel conditions improved since the post above in 2007.

Lugu lake is so big. The travel way mentioned in the above post is the one from the part in Sichuan province to chengdu. If this is your travel way, you need to take the bus from Lugu lake to Xichang first and then take a train to chengdu. The road has been improved, but there is still a section of stony road.

If you'll travel from the part in Yunnan side to Chengdu, you need to take a bus from Lugu lake to Panzhihua ( then road condition is relatively better but it takes about 10 hours0, then take a train from Panzhihua to Changdu.
FYI: You may also travel between the Yunan side and Sichuan side of the lake. But the road condition is poor. Or you may travel by boat or horse between the two sides.
