Stepping Back in Time at Yuhu Village

#holidayitinerary Exploring Yuhu Village in Yunnan Province feels like discovering a quiet corner of history. Nestled at the foot of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, the village has this peaceful charm that makes you want to slow down and take it all in. The stone houses, with their grey tiles and wooden doors, look almost unchanged from centuries ago. I enjoyed wandering through the narrow lanes, where locals go about their daily life and the air smells faintly of wood smoke. The lake nearby reflects the mountains beautifully, creating postcard-perfect views in every direction. It is easy to see why this place inspired so many artists and writers. There is also a connection to the famous botanist Joseph Rock, whose former residence can still be visited. Yuhu Village is not flashy or crowded, but that is exactly what makes it so special. It is a place where tradition lives on, and where the pace of life feels beautifully unhurried.
