玉龙白沙玉湖人家客栈

This restaurant is located at the entrance of Baisha Town, not far from the post office. When you come here in the afternoon, you can order coffee, some cakes and have afternoon tea. The location of the terrace on the second floor is very good.

The only restaurant in Yuhu Village, the environment is pretty good, the dishes are delicious, the chicken soup and fish are delicious. This Yuhu family converted their house into a restaurant, and there is a swing at the door, which is nice.

I didn't expect to have such delicious food in a small mountain village. This is the most delicious meal I've ever had in Lijiang. It's also super cheap. The owner's kitchen is super clean and the owner is very simple and enthusiastic. I highly recommend it!

Not bad, the taste is more homely and quite delicious

Who knows! I only made it to Yuhu Village on my last day in Lijiang, and now all I can think about is, "I wish I had come on my first day!" This stone village, hidden at the foot of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, is 100 times quieter than the Old Town and soothing enough that I didn't want to leave. ✨ 🏔️ Don't miss out on a hidden gem that'll make you slap your thigh! - Longnu Lake: The reflection of the snow-capped mountains in the lake is simply stunning! The lone tree by the lake is a natural frame. On a sunny day, it creates a refreshing wallpaper, while on a cloudy day, it's even more atmospheric with its ethereal atmosphere. Get up early past 7am and you can still catch the sunrise, the light filtering down onto the snow-capped mountains is breathtakingly beautiful. - Stone Alleys: The entire village is made of volcanic rock houses. Occasionally, cattle and horses pass by on the bluestone paved roads. Dongba script couplets hang from the eaves, and any photo taken from the stone gates is a breathtaking quaint masterpiece. ​ - Jade Pillars: A 10-minute climb to the summit offers breathtaking views of the entire village and the snow-capped mountains. Wear non-slip shoes for safety. - Locke's Former Residence: For a 30-yuan ticket, you can see the explorer's artifacts and experience the fusion of Chinese and Western cultures. Along the way, you can visit the Tsinghua-designed Yuhu Primary School, a truly aesthetically pleasing experience. ☕ Food, Drink, and Accommodation: Check your bucket list! - Walan Pushi Rooftop Cafe: Rooftop photos of the snow-capped mountains are a must! Order a coffee and unlock a panoramic view. However, there's a line on the rooftop during peak season, so it's recommended to go before 10 AM or after 6 PM. - Yuhu Renjia: Enjoy hot pot in the courtyard with a view of the snow-capped mountains! The cured pork ribs and potatoes are tender and flavorful, and the wild mushroom fried rice is so fragrant you'll lick the plate. For 50 yuan per person, you'll be stuffed. - Villagers' Homemade Yogurt: 5 yuan a bowl, topped with rose sauce for a sweet and sour refreshing treat. Grab a bowl when you're tired of exploring and it's incredibly satisfying. - Yunduan Xiaozhu B&B: 270-degree floor-to-ceiling windows face the snow-capped mountains. In the morning, you can lie down and watch the sun rise over the golden mountains! The owner is a Naxi intangible cultural heritage inheritor, and in the evening, you can gather around the fire pit to listen to legends about the snow-capped mountains. 🚨 Locals' Secret Tips for Avoiding Pitfalls 1. Save Big on Transportation: If you're staying in the village, ask the owner in advance. If you drive in, you can drive directly in, saving the 39 yuan entrance fee and shuttle bus. A shared car from Shuhe is only 15 yuan per person, much cheaper than hiring a car. 2. Don't Get Rid of Horseback Riding: Don't get ripped off by the 80 yuan horseback riding at the village entrance. You can drive directly to Longnu Lake. If you want to experience it, just haggle with the villagers at the lakeside. You can circle the lake for 30-50 yuan. 3. Prime Time for Photography: 9-11 a.m., when the light is soft and perfect for capturing reflections of the snow-capped mountains. After 4 p.m., the sunset paints the snow-capped peaks pink, creating a natural filter in your photos. 4. Essential Three Pieces: UV rays are intense on the plateau, so sunscreen and sunglasses are essential. The temperature swings between day and night are significant, so don't forget your windproof jacket; the strong breeze at Longnu Lake can also protect your hair. There's no need to squeeze into crowds here, just the sound of horse hooves and the greetings of Naxi women. Look up and you'll see snow-capped mountains, and look down and you'll smell the fragrant grass. Don't just focus on the Old Town in Lijiang. Plan Yuhu Village on your first day to avoid wasting this hidden gem! #LijiangTravel #YuhuVillage #AncientTownsAndVillagesWorthVisiting #NicheDiscovery #ThePlacesMyFriends
