They are the only existing maternal tribe in the world today

This is for everyone who are curious about the place but doesn't have too much basic geography knowledge about China. The most beautiful part of China. There are three provinces: Sichuan, Yunan and Tibet.  Lijiang is the ancient small village with rich culture. What impressed me so much is, they have an airport! Even some big cities in China does not have one.Lugu Lake is about 240 km away from Lijiang
What’s more attractive is the tribe of people who live Lugu Lake, they are the only existing maternal tribe in the world today.
The girls from Mosuo ethnic will hold a banquette when they are 12 years old, a signal that they are mature enough to have a lover. From then on, she is free to choose a love as she likes, nobody can interfere with it, including her family members. Once a lover is chosen, the guy will visit her during the night. There is no legal marriage in their ethnic group. They have no fixed family, but if they love each other, then they can be permanent partners. Otherwise, they will break up and find a new partner. When they have children, the woman will bear the children and bring them up with the help of her family.
