[2025 Yulong Hotels] Travel Guide for LUX* Tea Horse Road Lashi Lake (Updated Jul)

Tea Horse Road LUX* Lashi Lake Hotel is nestled on the edge of the Lashi Lake Wetland Reserve, offering unparalleled lake views. Most guest rooms and public areas (especially the restaurant, tea lounge, and lobby bar) face directly onto Lashi Lake. Imagine waking up in the morning or during the evening, sitting on your balcony or by the floor-to-ceiling windows, with the vast, mirror-like lake stretching before you, reflecting the blue sky, white clouds, or sunset hues, while waterbirds occasionally glide by—this serenity is exactly what you've been seeking. The Lashi Lake area, especially in summer (June-August), boasts a delightfully cool and pleasant climate, making it a renowned summer retreat. Average temperatures range from the teens to low twenties (Celsius), and you might even need a light jacket in the evenings. The hotel's design emphasizes harmony with nature. Here, the gentle lake breeze and the fresh plateau air provide exceptional relief from the heat, allowing you to completely escape stifling humidity and restlessness. The LUX* brand focuses on tranquility, relaxation, and personalized service. The Lashi Lake property is moderately sized, featuring modern minimalist design infused with Naxi ethnic elements—creating an atmosphere that is quiet, intimate, and sophisticated. Compared to the hustle and bustle of Lijiang's ancient town, this place offers genuine peace for rejuvenation. You can quietly read, savor tea, meditate, or simply gaze at the lake in pure contemplation. Dining with a lake view—whether at the restaurant or lobby bar—means Lashi Lake remains the most beautiful painting beside your table. A morning bowl of "small-pot rice noodles🍜" will utterly win you over. Unique activities organized by the hotel, such as sunrise lakeside walks or Naxi cultural experiences, let you appreciate local charm amid tranquility. Just a few kilometers away is "Zhiyun Temple," where you can pray for blessings and find instant inner peace. We highly recommend booking a "Lake View Room" or a higher-level room on the second floor—the core value lies in enjoying those serene lake and mountain views right from your bed or bathtub. At dawn, when the lake is veiled in mist and so quiet you can hear birdsong and your own breath, it's golden hour for photography and savoring stillness. At dusk, sunset paints the lake with shimmering, ever-changing colors—utterly romantic. After rain, Lashi Lake's air becomes exceptionally fresh, the water crystal-clear, and the mountains vividly green, amplifying the sense of peace.

The beauty of Lashi Lake lies not only in its natural scenery. Every morning, a light mist hovers over the lake, creating a fairy-tale-like atmosphere. As the sun rises, the mist gradually dissipates, revealing the sparkling beauty of the lake, which is truly refreshing. At dusk, the setting sun paints the lake with a poetic glow. Here, every moment is a breathtaking picture. ⛺【Must-Visit Spots】: 1️⃣ The Lonely Tree: Resembling a scene from "Under the Hawthorn Tree" in the wetland park, it's recommended to wear a white long dress + straw hat for photos against the blue sky and white clouds. 2️⃣ Tea Horse Ancient Road: Choose the "Primitive Forest" section for horseback riding, and use a telephoto lens to capture the interplay of light and shadow on ancient tree roots and moss. 3️⃣ Wetland Boardwalk: Photograph flocks of migratory 🐦 at dawn/dusk, using a tripod + slow shutter to capture reflections on the lake. Avoid peak visitor hours. 👗【Outfit Guide】: 1️⃣ Ethnic Mix: Naxi ethnic costumes + shawl, or Bai tie-dye long dress + linen jacket, paired with ethnic-style headwear. 2️⃣ Practical & Lightweight: Wear anti-slip sports shoes for hiking the boardwalk, and bring black knee-high boots (wetland mud is common). 3️⃣ Sun Protection Essentials: Strong UV in Yunnan—wear a sun-protective jacket + sunglasses, and carry portable sunscreen. 🛬【Travel Tips】: 🐎 Horseback Riding (Tea Horse Ancient Road) ⏰ Duration: 2-3 hours Recommended Route: Naxi Ancient Village → Wetland Meadow → Forest Trail → Viewing Platform. 🏕️ Floral & Mountain Sea Campground The camp offers various activities: Bonfire Party Gourmet Feast 🏨【Accommodation Tips】: "LUX* Tea Horse Road Lashi Lake" Blends traditional and modern elements Features reclaimed wood and preserved rammed-earth walls Incorporates local firepit culture for a rustic yet contemporary vibe The hotel’s design respects local heritage while embracing international aesthetics—simple yet luxurious. 🧡【Pro Tips】: 1️⃣ Ticket Trap: Navigate to "Jixiang Fishing Village" or "Zhiyun Temple" for free entry, avoiding the ¥30 ticket gate at Lashi Lake International Wetland Park. 2️⃣ Transport Tips: A taxi from the ancient town costs ~¥30. Decline pushy drivers and pre-book a ride for the return trip. 3️⃣ Dining Reminder: No convenience stores in the park—bring water + snacks. Try local dishes like "Native 🐔 Hotpot" or "Cured Rib Hotpot." 4️⃣ April–September: Lush meadows and blooming flowers, but bring an umbrella for rainy season. #CtripCustomTravel #CtripTravelDesigner #CustomSummerEscape #OutdoorAdventure

My understanding of traveling to a destination is that it must be a place I want to go to. Having driven around Lijiang and Dali, I wonder what places are parallel to them. I told my wife, I'll take you to see the sea, haha, yes, the Lashi Sea. 'Lashi' is the ancient Naxi language translation, where 'La' means barren dam and 'Shi' means new, signifying a new barren dam. The Naxi people call the lake a sea, and thus this quasi-plain under the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain has also become a world-class habitat for birds. The master said that every year there are 30,000 birds that come here to overwinter. We left from Shuhe National, the master took a shortcut, crossed a small mountain, and arrived here. Now the ancient city doesn't charge a maintenance fee anymore. I remember at that time many people chose to ride horses here, to experience the ancient Tea Horse Road and the joy of crossing mountains and ridges. Lishi Family is the most exquisite residence I saw along the way. I've experienced Chongzuo and the Maldives before, and this is my third Lishi. Although it's the same brand, this mountain residence by Lashi Lake better fits the LUX message of Lighter, Brighter, a lighter and brighter luxury experience. The master said that this place was rebuilt from old Naxi houses, maintaining the original ethnic characteristics while integrating Lishi's understanding of Lashi Lake. Picture 2 is the original Naxi lighting fixture, which I really like. The hand-beaten copper color and the dim light it emits are just so photogenic, haha
