Lijiang Yuhu Village 2 days and 1 night in-depth tour guide | The village closest to the snow mountain

If you don’t want to squeeze in with the crowds when you come to Lijiang, you can choose Yuhu Village, the first small village at the foot of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. There is no need to follow the trend of internet celebrities to check in at certain check-in spots. In this village without any commercial atmosphere, every spot is good for taking photos. We deliberately chose a homestay where we could sit on the roof and take pictures of the golden mountain in the sun. At about 7:00, we took pictures of the sunrise on Jinshan Mountain. In the morning, we could see many local residents living in the village. We walked up from Yuhu Village to Longnu Lake. 📅 Itinerary ✈️ Sanyi Airport → Pu Shi B&B Transportation: It takes 1 hour to get to the airport by taxi (about 💰120-150 yuan), and the B&B can arrange airport pick-up (advance reservation required).   🏡 Naxi Home Textiles (2-3 hours) Experience: Grinding tofu pudding, Dongba papermaking, taking photos in ethnic costumes (📸Recommend blue tie-dye skirt + snow-capped mountain background).   Cost: about 100 yuan/person (including pick-up and drop-off, B&B booking) 🐎 Horseback riding around Longnu Lake (1 hour) Route: Villagers lead the way around the lake to the foot of the snow-capped mountains, the horses are docile    🍲 Dinner: Fangma Huotang Restaurant Recommended dishes: Yak beef hot pot 🍲, kiln-baked wood-fired bread 🥯 Same camera position as Running Man: wooden table next to the fire pit, the courtyard is super healing.  Day 2 🌄 Sunshine Golden Mountain (6:30-7:30) Take photos from the terrace of your homestay or on the east side of Longnu Lake. The sunrise time in April is about 6:50. Check the cloud forecast on "Lijing Weather" in advance.   ☕️ Snow Mountain Afternoon Tea (Pu Shi Cafe) 📸 Free activities: Wander in Yuhu Village, admire the stone houses in the village, check in "Go to your study" and the thousand-year-old tree at the entrance of the village.   Hidden camera position: The spiral staircase on the top floor of Pu Shi B&B, where you can take upward portraits of people and snow-capped mountains in the same frame!   🚗 Transportation Guide ▪️Lijiang City → Yuhu Village: 40 minutes by taxi (💰50-70 yuan), or take bus No. 17 to Yuhu Village Square (few buses, chartered bus recommended).   ▪️Transportation within the village: The cobblestone road is inconvenient for driving, so walking or riding is the main way.   💡Travel Tips 1️⃣ Plateau protection: Yuhu Village is 2,700 meters above sea level. Avoid strenuous exercise and prepare oxygen cylinders (available for rent in the B&B).   2️⃣ Dressing suggestions: The temperature difference in April is large (5-20℃), so wear a thin coat and hat for sun protection during the day, and a down jacket in the morning and evening.   3️⃣ Take photos at different peaks: There are few people at Longnu Lake in the morning due to direct sunlight, but the snow-capped mountains are clearer in the afternoon due to backlight.
