The Secret Realm of Shuhe: Lying Down to Watch the Snowy Mountains

Yueshan Homestay: In Shuhe Ancient Town, Living Life as Poetry and Distant Places

If you come to Shuhe Ancient Town in Lijiang, you must stay a few days at Yueshan Homestay. It is like a secret realm within the ancient town, blending the rustic Naxi style, the elegance of modern aesthetics, and the healing power of the natural mountains and fields into a touching travel experience.

1. Guest Rooms: Lying in the Embrace of the Ancient Town and Mountain Views

Opening the door to the guest room, the minimalist and cozy style instantly lets you shed your fatigue. The white bedding is as soft as clouds, and the combination of natural wood and warm brown is especially soothing under the light. The best part is the window—

- Looking down, you see the lively smoke and fire of Shuhe Ancient Town’s blue-tiled eaves, with gray tiles and red eaves of Naxi architecture spreading out like a painting before your eyes;
- Looking up, you see the distant mountains like dark ink in the sea of clouds and mountain mists. In the morning, watch the sunlight gild the mountain peaks; in the evening, admire the sunset dyeing the sky orange and pink. Lying in bed, you can enjoy the scenery of all four seasons.

2. Public Areas and Terrace: Bringing Nature and Culture into Daily Life

Every corner of the homestay is full of surprises:

- In the courtyard, red walls and gray tiles frame the colorful maple trees, with every step revealing the elegance of Chinese aesthetics;
- On the terrace, flowers and plants flourish like a small garden. Reclining in a rattan chair, the majestic outline of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is in the distance, while the layered rooftops of the ancient town are nearby. Drinking tea and daydreaming, time slows down.

3. At Yueshan, Be a Traveler Who “Steals Leisure”

The most touching thing about Yueshan is that it lets you immerse yourself in the lively atmosphere of the ancient town—just a few minutes’ walk to the bustling stone-paved streets, tasting a bowl of local chicken rice noodles, and browsing handmade shops; yet it also lets you retreat into the quiet of the mountains—returning to the homestay feels like coming back to a paradise, watching clouds roll on the terrace, and gazing at the mountain views from the guest room.

If you want to find a place in Shuhe that is “both poetic and warm with everyday life,” Yueshan Homestay is definitely the best choice. Come here and let the slowness of the ancient town and the tranquility of the snowy mountains turn your journey into an unforgettable story.
