More than ten kilometers north of the ancient city of Lijiang, there is a village called "Wuluken" at the southern foot of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, which means the village at the foot of the snow mountain. This is the Yuhu Village. In 1922, Joseph Locke named it in the National Geographic Magazine of the United States.

As an explorer, writer and photographer, he entered Yunnan, China from the Thailand-Myanmar border and lived under the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain for 27 years, most of which he lived in Yuhu Xueli Village.

Yuhu is an artificial lake dug by the Mu family before the Ming Dynasty.

The Mu family built a summer palace, Jade Dragon Academy, and a deer farm by the lake.

The earliest residents of Yuhu Village were those who raised deer to protect the palace of the Naxi King.

Therefore, it is also called "Chankuo Luo".

Yuhu Lake and Snow Mountain Deer Farm are also often mentioned in Naxi folk songs.

In the Jade Lake, the snow water is clear, the water plants are swaying, the blue sky and white clouds set off the tall Jade Dragon Snow Peak reflected in the lake, and nature seems to be settling at the bottom of the lake.

This "Jade Lake Reflection" is one of the famous "Twelve Scenes of the Jade Dragon".

There are thousands of hectares of grassland beside Yuhu Lake. In spring and summer, the grass grows long and warblers fly. Thousands of wild flowers twinkle among them. Cowbells tink in winter and shepherds compose songs.

In the harsh winter of late autumn, the grass in the pasture turns yellow, and the large reeds in the lake undulate with the wind, rustling like a piece of sad autumn strings, creating a vast and cold scene.

There is an orange tree beside Yuhu Lake that produces oranges as sweet as honey every year. People say it was transformed by the Dragon Girl and call it the "Dragon Girl Tree".

On the cliff next to Yuhu Lake are engraved with the four characters "Jade Pillars Holding the Sky", which were inscribed by Yang Fu, the first official magistrate of Lijiang (the highest ruler sent from the central government after the "return to land").

Under it are the four characters "Jade Wall Jinchuan" written by Nie Rui, the county magistrate in the third year of Yongzheng's reign (1725).

There are moss mottled beside the handwriting, which has a deep ancient meaning.

Locke was the first foreign scholar to comprehensively introduce Lijiang national culture to the Western world.

On the cliff about 30 meters high to the west of Xuejie Village in Yuhu, there are four large Chinese characters of Yuzhu Qingtian carved in regular script. This is the inscription of Yang Fan, the first official magistrate of Lijiang during the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty.

This stone carving not only depicts the magnificence of Lijiang's snow-capped mountains, but also becomes a cultural relic directly related to the important historical event of "returning land to rivers".

At the foot of the stone cliff, there is a clear spring like jade, which is called Yuhu.

The reflection of Jade Lake is the first of the twelve beautiful scenery of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, and it was praised by many Naxi poets of the Ming and Qing dynasties.
