IN the early 1920s, when Yosif Frantz Rock, an American botanist, traveled to Lugu Lake, he was amazed by its beauty. He said, "It’s the last Place that God creates." Lugu Lake, 2,690 meters above sea level, is situated in Ninglang County, in northwest Yunnan Province. With an area of more than 50 square kilometers, the lake reaches 45 meters deep and is transparent down to 12 meters.
