Fish water village introduction

Yushui Village is located at the foot of Yulong Snow Mountain in Baisha Town, about 5 km north of Lijiang City. The scenery of the hut is natural and simple, especially the ethereal and clear water features are amazing. It is also the Dongba holy land of Naxi people, where you can learn about the unique and splendid Naxi culture such as sacrifice and papermaking.

Shenlong Triassic water

Walking into the scenic gate of Yushui Village, the first thing that makes people shocked is the water features of Shenlong Triassic. There is a clear spring next to two old trees in the scenic area, which turns into a waterfall and nearly ten white beads splash. Legend has it that Shenquan is a place frequented by natural gods. They folded the water into several folds, thus creating a patchwork of three waterfalls of the dragon. The stream flows into the pond, where golden trout and rainbow trout are raised. Visitors can gather by the pool and enjoy the harmonious sight of fish and water.

Jade Shui Bo

In addition to the waterscape, it is also the birthplace of Dongba religion of Naxi nationality. Heheyuan in the village is the residence of Dongba God of Naxi nationality. There is Dongba Cultural Relics Exhibition Hall, which displays ancient Dongba scriptures, puppets and musical instruments. In the center of Hehuang, the highest temple in Dongba, the Yushuiyuan Hall, is dedicated to many gods such as Dongba Shiluo, the ancestor of Dongba, and Sanduo, the protector of Naxi.

Dongbazhi papermaking workshop

In addition, you can also visit Dongba Paper Mill, Dongba Brewery and Loom. In the folk houses, learn about the paper-making, wine-making and weaving skills of ancient Dongba people, and enjoy the Naxi local folk music performance "White Sands and Fine Music". Every year, according to the tradition of Naxi nationality, the scenic spot regularly holds activities such as offering sacrifices to heaven, wind and natural gods. On the fifth day of the third lunar month, a grand Dongba Fa Conference will be held in Heheyuan. If you happen to meet the worship god of Dongba, you can learn more about the charm of Dongba religion, which is very lucky.
