Tracing back to Old Town of Lijiang: Yushui Village is the inheritance base of Dongba culture.

"How high the mountain is, how high the water is", which is people's praise for Yushui Village. The huge mountain spring rushed out from the cliff ridge, nearly 3000 meters above sea level, which was amazing. Trees are maple trees, all of which are thousands of years old. I can only see the big trees, whose branches are winding and swaying. Yushui Village is the Dongba Holy Land in the central area of Naxi nationality and the source of Old Town of Lijiang.

Yushuizhai is the inheritance base of Dongba culture, which retains the traditional and quaint features of Naxi nationality and has beautiful mountains and rivers. Naxi ancestors thought it was a "land of geomantic omen", and every sacrificial ceremony was held in Yushui Village, which was closest to the gods in the sky. Yushui Village has become the Dongba Holy Land in the Naxi area of Lijiang.

Ming Che has gurgling rivers, waterfalls, streams and ponds. The sound of waterfalls makes Dongba Holy Land quiet and peaceful. The clarity of the spring water shows the sacredness of the spring water.

A string of waterfalls, as if the dragon girl bathed in holy water, the silk scarf that was accidentally dropped was amazing. The water plants in the pond are abundant, and the fish swim in the joy and happiness given by the divine spring.

Going up along the current and entering the depths of the shade, you can see the spring water gushing out from under two leafy Millennium maple trees, flowing southward with waves, filling one pool after another, forming a triple waterfall group.

There are two ancient trees in it, whose branches and leaves are stretched tightly, covering the water source. Among them, the larger maple tree is called the mother tree, and the big tree is the place where Dongba sacrifices. Two ancient trees are the guardians of Naxi Divine Spring, enjoying a respected position. No climbing. Tourists are required to respect local beliefs and customs. It is said that there was once a villager in Yulong village who cut branches on a sacred tree. Later, I had a high fever and had to ask Dongba for help.

It is said that Dongba instructed him to plant a small tree under the old tree as a sign of repentance. Later, the villagers got well, and the young trees slowly grew into towering trees. The two protect water and trees, and even bees living in ancient maple trees have never been disturbed. No one knows how many years they have lived in the holy tree. There are rainbow trout and golden trout playing, fishing and tasting delicious food in the fish pond.

Yushui Village is the Dongba Holy Land in the middle of Naxi nationality. The Nature Conservancy of the United States regards Yushuizhai as the inheritance base of Dongba culture, white sand fine music and leba dance.
