Yuhu, located right at the southern foot of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, is a gorgeous village far enough away from the tourist centers of Lijiang to maintain a more genuine authenticity, while still close enough to be convenient to visit. Meander around the cobble-stone paths of this ancient village, visit the former residence of the famous Austrian-American botanist Joseph Rock who called this village home for 28 years until 1949, visit the nearby Yufeng Monastary, Jade Water Village, and Dongba Gardens. Stay a night at the Naxi homestay-style guesthouse, where you can eat with the family and have an experience of really living in a village (www.yuhuhome.com). Yuhu Village is a great place to go if what your looking for is a relaxing time in a beautiful environment where you can experience the true Naxi culture and lifestyle.
