Yuhu
Village - Lijiang Travel |
|
|
| |
Located
about 15 kilometers North of Lijiang
Old Town, the Yuhu
village, belonging to the Naxi
minority, is the last village of the valley;
and is situated at the foot of the Jade
Dragon Mountain in Lijiang.
The houses, built with unique rocks called
"monkey head", sort of mix of the
rocks and dried earth, makes the village looks
the same as it was in the beginning of the
20th century when Joseph Rock chose this place
as his residence place. |

The
famous botanist Dr. Rock came here to study
the plants of the Jade
Dragon Mountain and he fell in love with
the region, its people and its culture, and
decided to live there. He lived in Yuhu
village for 27 years. From 1922, he started
a huge research work on the local Naxi
minority; he took many photos and wrote
many papers for the magazine "National
Geography". |
| |
It
is possible to visit Dr. Rock’s house
(15 RMB per person). If you make it in Yuhu,
we advice you to visit our friends of a Naxi
local family, and why not staying there for
a night, as they also provide accommodation.
It is basic but a very warm and welcoming
place. For more information, see here: Yuhu

Yuhu,
it exists several horse back hikes climbing
the Jade
Dragon Mountains (Price is around 21-40
USD according to the length and path). You

Jade
Dragon Mountains. Another path climbs

of Wenhai, where
you can stay overnight. The hike lasts 4-5
hours, a local guide is necessary to carry
out this hike. |
