[2025 Yulong Attraction] Travel Guide for Wenhai Lake (Updated Jul)

Quaint dwellings, alleys by the canals Today's Baisha still retains its simplicity from 20 years ago, with many interesting little shops lining the streets. Sitting in a café in the old town, gazing at the distant snow-capped mountains, it feels like retirement life has already been planned out. 🏔【Off the Beaten Path Recommendations】 1️⃣ Black Dragon Pool Park No need to wake up early, just 2 kilometers from Lijiang Ancient Town, you can see the stunning 'Golden Mountain by Sunrise' at Black Dragon Pool Park🌅 2️⃣ Qingxi Reservoir Navigate to Qingxi Park, a little-known spot only locals are aware of, where the reservoir is crystal clear🌊, and you can look up to see the snow-capped mountains. 3️⃣ Zhongji Sea Park Here, there's a large area of redwood trees, where you can camp and watch the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, very pleasant. 4️⃣ Baisha Old Town Of the three ancient towns in Lijiang, Baisha is my favorite. It's not very big, but it's not so commercialized. Order a cup of coffee☕️, and you can spend the afternoon watching the snow-capped mountains from the rooftop. 5️⃣ Yuhu Village Yuhu Village is probably the most characteristic ancient village in Lijiang, built entirely of stone, hidden at the foot of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, secluded and hermitic. 6️⃣ Longnu Lake A small lake at the foot of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, with a solitary tree🌳 by the lake, where cattle and sheep graze, as if it's a paradise on earth. 7️⃣ Wenhai Not Xinjiang, but Wenhai Village in Lijiang, with lakes, grasslands, cattle, and sheep🐑... and the distant snow-capped mountains, like a fairy tale. 8️⃣ Jinta Scenic Area The free and unmanned Lijiang Jinta, reflecting the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, leaves a deep impression. 🚗【3-Day Itinerary】 I've organized this 3-day itinerary that allows you to see the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and experience the lesser-known spots in Lijiang. For the detailed route map, please refer to P2: 🟡 day1 Black Dragon Pool Park——Qingxi Reservoir——Zhongji Sea Park 🟡 day2 Baisha Old Town——Yuhu Village——Longnu Lake 🟡 day3 Wenhai——Lijiang Jinta Scenic Area 💡【Travel Tips】 🌅 About 'Golden Mountain by Sunrise': In winter (December-January), as long as it's a sunny day, there's a high chance of seeing the 'Golden Mountain by Sunrise', with sunrise around 8:00-8:15 AM. 🧥Weather and Clothing: Yunnan is one of the best travel destinations in winter, with a comfortable climate that's not cold. Wear a down jacket in the morning and evening, and a light jacket or shell jacket during the day.

Location: Lijiang, Yunnan, China Transportation: Taxi from Baisha town (on high season it’s quite expensive) Activities: walking by the lake, petting horses and cows, horse rides Entrance: free It’s a tranquil place where seems the sky meets the lake. The lake is so clear and it’s just amazing to walk by it. You can pet horses and cows by the lake they are very friendly. Make sure to wear something warm and comfortable. The ground is covered with grass and sometimes you cannot avoid running water on the grass. We have seen many insects and little frogs so just be prepared for that and fully enjoy your time by this beautiful lake. #yunnan #lakes #naturalwonders

Wenhai is a gorgeous and tranquil lake sitting silently in the north of Lijiang. I fell in love with this place a year ago and finally this time I am back with @VickWalks with all of our camping gears and a passion to fully discover its beauty. We were lucky to experience a heavy snow on our visit and it turned the area into a snow white winter wonderland. Despite the freezing temperature and high winds at night, we absolutely enjoyed camping out in the snow by the lake. The next day after packing up we took the time to explore the Naxi minority villages nearby and we were welcomed by a herd of cows and smiling local villagers. Afterwards we hitchhiked out of Wenhai back to Lijiang city - as always I was not surprised to find how easy it is to hitch a ride in Yunnan as people here are too kind to ignore the signs of help. #china #yunnan #lijiang #camping #hiking #travel #lakes #naturalwonders #wintergetaway

🏡 Healing Residence: GRAND JOLI Dàměi Huásù · Mountain Courtyard Finally finished the high-pressure work, dragging my tired body to GRAND JOLI Dàměi Huásù · Mountain Courtyard, instantly healed! This 300-year-old Naxi ancient residence, the "Li Family Courtyard," hides the tranquility of time between its carved beams and painted rafters. The front, middle, and rear courtyards layer progressively, just like a real-life "secluded paradise"🌳. The rooftop viewing platform is a treasure spot—every day I lounge on the rattan chair watching the ancient city’s sunrise and sunset, clouds slowly drifting over the blue tiles and white walls, and my worries drift away too~ The housekeeper is super thoughtful! Knowing I came for a vacation, they specially arranged a room with excellent lighting and prepared calming aromatherapy and a sleep mask. Unlimited nutritious breakfast every day, exquisite afternoon tea, and warming sweet soup— even my picky "worker’s stomach" was spoiled🥰! 📅 10-Day Slow Life Plan: Waste time on beautiful things Day 1-2: Flat-lay recharge mode After arrival, completely relax at the guesthouse! Sleep until naturally waking, listen to cicadas under the shade of the courtyard trees, brew a pot of Pu'er tea, and flip through a few pages of a long-neglected book📖. In the afternoon, enjoy afternoon tea on the rooftop viewing platform, watching the ancient city turn golden in the sunset; at night, accompanied by moonlight, drink a bowl of sweet soup and apply a face mask—the long-lost feeling of relaxation returns~ Day 3: Stroll the ancient city, encounter the local life Leisurely walk into Lijiang Ancient Town, avoid the crowds, and slip into the alleys. Buy fresh fruit at Zhongyi Market and chat with the enthusiastic vendors; check in at the Mu Residence to feel the profound Naxi culture; in the evening, find a café on Lion Hill, order a cup of Yunnan small bean coffee☕️, watch the ancient city lights gradually turn on, and the healing value maxes out! Day 4: A day tour of Shuhe Ancient Town Take the bus slowly to Shuhe Ancient Town, which is quieter than Lijiang Ancient Town. Rent a set of ethnic-style clothes and take atmospheric photos at Qinglong Bridge; visit handmade shops to DIY a unique little item; have a bowl of freshly cooked rice noodles at a roadside shop for lunch and listen to the owner’s stories about the ancient town—life can be so simple and beautiful~ Day 5: Day of dazing in Baisha Ancient Town Ride a shared bike to Baisha Ancient Town and find a riverside café to "waste time." Order a flower cake, stare at Jade Dragon Snow Mountain in a daze, and occasionally write postcards📮; stroll through Baisha murals to feel the charm of ancient art; return to the guesthouse in the evening and learn from the housekeeper how to brew authentic Pu'er tea—life suddenly slows down enough to hear your heartbeat. Day 6: Healing trip to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain Joined a light hiking small group to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, no rush, slowly appreciating the glaciers and Blue Moon Valley’s beauty🌊. Take a deep breath at the foot of the snow mountain and release all accumulated stress; the lake water in Blue Moon Valley is as blue as a fairy tale—post photos to social media and watch colleagues envy wildly~ Day 7-8: Deep guesthouse experience Return to guesthouse "retirement" mode! In the morning, learn to make Naxi baba with the housekeeper—clumsy hands but full of fun; in the afternoon, attend a free Pu'er tea tasting class in the tea room, from raw Pu'er to ripe Pu'er, who knew tea drinking could be so refined🍵; at night, gather around the stove with other guests, listen to different life stories, and feel your heart gradually filled with warmth. Day 9: Empty your mind in Wenhai Village Charter a car to the off-the-beaten-path Wenhai Village, lie on the grassland watching clouds roll by, play with the herders’ little lambs🐏; picnic by the lake, listen to the wind and birdsong, use your phone battery from 100% to shutdown—this feeling of "disconnection" is so free! Day 10: Depart with healing Packing up is full of reluctance, but the suitcase is stuffed with Naxi handicrafts, folk music CDs, and full memories. At checkout, the owner’s gift of flower cakes still carries warmth💐. Those 10 days escaping 996 really pieced my broken self back together~ 🍃 Seclusion Tips ✅ The guesthouse rooftop viewing platform has the best light at 8 AM and 6 PM, perfect for photos and zoning out ✅ Bonfire parties are held in the ancient city every Wednesday and Saturday—dancing with locals is super stress-relieving ✅ Recommended to bring an old book; the guesthouse has a "book drifting corner" for exchanging reads ✅ Must try the guesthouse’s freshly stewed sweet soup—overtime and late-night "face collapse" can be restored by drinking it! Worker sisters, if you also want to escape the rat race, come to GRAND JOLI Dàměi Huásù · Mountain Courtyard and relax for 10 days! Here, even zoning out becomes meaningful✨~
