Journey from Lijiang to the heart of Naxi heritage with this private tour.Your English-speaking guide shares Naxi folklore and history, including tales of the ancient Tea Horse Road.
Baisha is a 1,000-year-old Naxi settlement and former capital of the Lijiang Kingdom. Stroll cobblestone streets lined with traditional mudbrick homes, where artisans craft embroidery and pottery. Visit the Dabaoji Palace, home to vibrant Ming Dynasty frescoes blending Naxi, Tibetan, and Han influences, showcasing the region’s cultural crossroads.
Continue to Yuhu Village, a rustic stone hamlet at the mountain’s base. Explore the former residence of Joseph Rock, the Austro-American botanist who introduced Naxi culture to the world through National Geographic. Now a museum, his home displays artifacts from his 1920s expeditions. Walk through Yuhu’s tranquil lanes, where Naxi locals tend fields and livestock, and admire the unique stone architecture shaped by the region’s geology.
