Living around the beautiful Lugu Lake, Mosuo society is a happy, generous marriage-free society. The Mosuo girl meet her lover in a special "Azhu" house. The man has to leave in the morning. The children inherit the mother's surname and growing with their mothers and uncles. Women are the bosses of this "Girls' Kingdom". Probably the most famous – and most misunderstood – aspect of Mosuo culture is their practice of “walking marriages”, so called because the men will walk to the house of their ‘partner' at night, but return to their own home in the morning. While it is possible for a Mosuo woman to change partners as often as she likes – and in fact, having only one sexual partner would be neither expected nor common – the majority of such couplings will actually be more long term. And few Mosuo women will have more than one partner at a time. This unique wedlock values affection and gives more freedom to men and women in their relationships. They may choose to unite or separate at will. It has been considered as the living fossil as a basis for a study of social patterns and matriarchal marriage customs in today's world.
