About Yuhu Village
Fish-shaped wooden roof ornaments are a small detail worth finding among the larger blocks of glacial stone. Joseph Rock used the village as a base for his work on the region’s plants and Naxi culture; his restored residence adds an indoor stop to a village visit. Explore the public lanes at village pace and respect houses that remain private homes.
What to look for
- Glacial-stone walls contrast with timber-framed, tiled roofs.
