[2024 Lijiang Stay] Travel Guide for The Rock Hotel (Updated Nov)
Thanks to Zhao Lusi for choosing such a great place, opening the door reveals the snow-capped mountains
If Cangshan is the soul of Dali,
Then Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is the spirit of Lijiang.
If it weren't for Zhao Lusi's collection check-in,
I wouldn't have known that there is such a hotel hidden in Yuhu Village. In this simple village, there is almost no commercial atmosphere, less hustle and bustle,
But more primitive Naxi cultural charm.
The Dragon Lady Lake near the hotel has become a popular check-in spot for many people. The lake surface reflects the snow-capped mountains and vegetation,
Decorating the lakeside with a solitary tree.
The hotel's location is perfect, nestled in the valley,
Backed by Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, with a chance to see the golden mountain at sunrise. The hotel integrates Naxi cultural elements,
Using stones, wood, branches, etc., to create a minimalist design style.
In the hotel, during leisure time, you can also experience:
1. The outdoor lawn is perfect for camping and afternoon tea.
2. Night sky observation, Gan Haizi hiking, film photography, and other activities enrich the leisure activities of the hotel stay.
It is about a 20-minute drive from Lijiang city center and about a 15-minute drive from the snow-capped mountains.
Price: 1000+ (including hiking, breakfast, afternoon tea)

Here, it is not only a place to stay, but also a spiritual home🏡🌟.

Living in the Sherlock Hotel in Snow Song Village
Choosing the Sherlock Hotel is largely due to paying tribute to Mr. Sherlock. The current hardware conditions in Snow Song Village are still limited, but the enthusiastic service of the staff at Sherlock has made up for this deficiency.
Sherlock's large lawn is an excellent place to view the snow-capped mountains and scenery. When the weather is suitable, it's perfect for sitting there in a daze. Unfortunately, it's too cold in winter, and the strong wind makes us unable to stay . I like the hotel's fireside chats, the hostess is gentle and talkative, she cooked us warm Tremella soup, roasted oranges and apples, the children roasted a lot of marshmallows, some people drank alcohol, some people drank tea, although the outdoor cold wind was biting, but the hotel lobby was warm, and it was very approachable.
If you are willing to brave the cold wind to come outside, there will be staff to help you take a photo of you with the starry sky, recording the romantic date of the starry sea.
Although there is no buffet with a variety of types like a five-star hotel, I also like this kind of exquisite breakfast, which tastes good and will not be wasted. We have always been interested in the activities of plant hunters, but we don't have enough time to leave it as a regret.
The regrettable thing is that the hotel does not provide lunch and dinner by itself, and the electric heater in the room is not warm enough, maybe the experience will be better in another season!

After searching all over Yunnan, I finally found this hidden gem hotel
I used to think that Lijiang was not worth going to, until I carefully planned the trip and found out that there are several hidden gem hotels near the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. They are niche and secluded, and when you stay in, you will find that under the snow mountain is the real soul of Lijiang.
Moreover, there are direct flights everywhere, and it takes only one hour by car from the airport to reach the snow mountain. From the sunrise over the golden mountain to the Milky Way in the sky, it is really a labor-saving but high-light trip.
Today's article is about my private collection, the Sherlock Hotel, located in Yuhu Village, Lijiang, which is the closest village to the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. The houses in the village are all stone-built, almost without commercialization, you can't see the hustle and bustle of people, only the original Naxi cultural style.
✔️The hotel is very specially located on the edge of the village, backed by the snow mountain, facing the open and lonely grassland. Whether it's the lobby or the room, the view is endless, and in winter it really feels like the wilderness of Iceland.
✔️The designer of Sherlock comes from Europe, and the overall architectural style is more Nordic. Each room has floor-to-ceiling windows, as well as a semi-outdoor terrace and soaking pool. Snow mountains, wilderness, city, stars, sunrise are all in sight. Sometimes when you wake up in the morning, you can see a pony grazing outside the window~
✔️Another highlight of the hotel that attracts me is the snow mountain hiking activity. The hiking route of about six or seven hours goes from the foot of the mountain all the way to the rock wall next to the main peak of the Jade Dragon. From temperate to cold, from pine forests to pebble beaches, it is a worthwhile and rare experience.
✔️In addition to hiking, Yuhu Village itself also has places worth going to. For example, horse riding in Yuhu Lake, or watching clear springs and rainbow trout at Yuzhu Qingtian.
▪️Hotel name: Lijiang Sherlock Hotel
▪️Address: No. 4, Group 7, Yuhu Village, Yuhu Village Committee
▪️Transportation: About 1 hour drive from Lijiang Sanyi Airport

Having lived all over Yunnan, I discovered this secluded hotel in the snow mountains
Having lived all over Yunnan, I discovered this secluded hotel in the snow mountains.
Every time I came to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain before, I went directly into the scenic area, and I always had a feeling of 'not knowing the true face of Mount Lu, just because I was in this mountain'. This time I stayed in Lijiang for a long time, and I was surprised to hear from the locals that there was such a hotel at the foot of the snow mountain.
If Erhai Lake is the soul of Dali, then Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is the heart of Lijiang.
HI Hotel: Lijiang Sherlock Boutique Hotel
Location: Yuhu Village, Naxi Autonomous County, Lijiang, Yunnan
Transportation: Less than 30 minutes drive from Lijiang city, but the end of the road is relatively narrow; 15 minutes from Jade Dragon Snow Mountain Scenic Area
The hotel is backed by the snow mountain, and if you're lucky, you can see the sunrise over the golden mountain when you wake up in the morning.
The canopy at the entrance allows you to experience light camping, which is very in line with Sherlock's outdoor spirit.
Afternoon tea can be served outdoors for a natural experience.
The hotel also offers activities such as hiking to Huigan Haizi, night sky observation, as well as cultural experiences such as visiting Yuhu Village and film photography, which are quite rich.
Finally, I have to mention Yuhu Village.
The buildings in the village are all made of stone, retaining the original Naxi ethnic style. Not far from the hotel, the reflection of the snow mountain and grassland in the Dragon Girl Lake gives a sense of instant loneliness and wilderness.
So, if you have the chance, you should also come here to find the disappearing horizon.

The hotel is located in Yuhu Village at the foot of Yulong Snow Mountain. Yuhu is a very interesting village. The entire village is piled up with stones. It is also the place where the Naxi people have lived for generations, and the people are simple.
It still retains the cultural customs of thousands of years ago. Such a design-conscious hotel, from a European designer, incorporates local Naxi cultural elements.
In addition to the stone and wood that match the surrounding environment, the floor-to-ceiling glass, and the minimalist design style of the lobby piled up with branches.
🛏Room facilities:
The modern Chinese-style room is exquisite and high-end, from bedding to toiletries, free drinks and snacks in the mini bar, all reflect the quality and intention of Sherlock,
The perfect view in the floor-to-ceiling glass window, living in the scenery, and completely embracing the scenery outside the window, truly sleeping with the snow mountain, the semi-outdoor terrace and bubble pool of the wild luxury feel further narrow the distance from nature.
🍽Dining recommendation:
Mainly exquisite Yuhu local dishes, insist on using natural ingredients in the village, absorb and improve local cooking methods, and retain the freshness of the ingredients to the greatest extent, whether it is steamed snow mountain gong fish, matsutake, local chicken or Naxi copper hot pot Unique flavor.

The snow mountain is the soul, every opportunity to get close to nature
If Cangshan is the soul of Dali, then Yulong Snow Mountain is the soul of Lijiang and the simple Yuhu Village, where there is almost no commercial atmosphere, less hustle and bustle, but more original Naxi cultural style. The Dragon Girl Lake near the hotel has become a popular spot for many people to check in. The lake reflects the snow mountain and vegetation, embellishing the lonely tree by the lake.
Design
Yuhu Village is a village built with stones, respecting the cultural context of the village, using traditional stone wall construction techniques, and integrating with the entire village's architecture. With simple luxury as the core, the decoration style + scenery has attracted countless fans. From the exterior stone building to the interior window flower carving, it incorporates Naxi culture into every detail. The key point is that the view here is super good, with a panoramic view of the sea of clouds, snow mountains, and village houses.
Room
The rooms are also exquisite and high-end. Modern Chinese style, from bedding to toiletries, free drinks from the mini bar, all reflect the quality and intention of Sherlock. The perfect view in the full-length glass window, as if living in the scenery~ The semi-outdoor terrace and bath with a wild luxury feel bring nature closer.
Food
Mainly exquisite local dishes from Yuhu, insisting on using natural ingredients from the village, absorbing and improving local cooking methods, and retaining the freshness of the ingredients to the greatest extent. Whether it is steamed snow mountain fish, matsutake, local chicken or Naxi copper hot pot, they all have unique flavors.
Service
The staff are very enthusiastic. The hotel has daily Yuhu Village guided tours, irregular Naxi special afternoon tea, horse riding, tea cooking around the stove, bonfire parties, handmade production and other special activities. We participated in the national stove tea cooking on Saturday night, the atmosphere was very good!
