The second great bend of the Yangzi is inaccessible by road, but not far downstream is the last walled village in China, Bao Shan, a very old Naxi village 130 km from Lijiang, translated as "Stone Town" because of its distinctive architecture, foundations of the houses carved into the steep cliff. Since I wanted to see more of the mountains and more Naxi villages, and my Naxi taxi driver from the Shigu trip seemed up for it, we settled on 600¥ for a round trip. We covered approximately 100 km in first two hours, very scenic, thick pine forests, long-tailed birds fluttering by, meadows and mountain streams, small villages, rice, potatoes and corn being harvested in the narrow fields. The road gradually worsened, switchbacks up into and down out of the clouds, enough altitude change that my ears would pop, occasional road damage from landslides but nearly no traffic. Then the next hour the side road was more problematic, a one lane road with two way traffic and no shoulder, in fact the road surface was raised so leaving the road even a few inches would be disastrous, hairpin turns, many fresh landslides (it was raining every night in October), mostly just rocks but some parts of hillside with entire pine trees in them, places where the outer edge of the road had collapsed down the cliff, cracks where the road surface had shifted, I was thinking that this might be a candidate for the worse road I had ever been on, but that was before the road got really bad, basically a rock donkey path (there were in fact donkeys on it), fortunately only one car coming the other way for the 15 km stretch, ruts on which we bottomed out and I began to think that the taxi, a VW Lavida, was not going to survive, flooded sections of flowing red mud, but the driver would laugh each time we scraped or thumped something, he would navigate the worst turns in first gear, and when, 4 hours after leaving Lijiang, we reached Baoshan, he said something in Naxi that I interpreted as "I bet you thought we would never get here," which was true. I recommend hiking those last 15 km.

We didn’t want to take a cable car up the mountain so went out from Lijiang in a taxi to the mountain - the entrance fee to the mountain park is 100Y per person. At the tourist centre the buses for Blue Moon Lake/White Water River are downstairs (the buses to the glacier cable car are on the level you enter at). The ticket for the bus to Blue Lake was 20Y - Blue Lake is the second stop on the bus. While it is a bit odd that Blue Lake is man-made the location does give spectacular views of the mountain. Getting a bus back to the tourist centre was very orderly. We had organised for our taxi driver to come back to pick us up which worked out well.

Ancient forest, grazing yaks and Yulong peaks on the background! To go there, first of all, you need to take a big blue bus at the bus stop near the Ancient City Zhongyi Market (Lijiang Old Town), ask a driver if it goes to the Jade Dragon Mountain, just in case. You'll be charged 100 RMD at the entrance, the bus will drop you off near the tourist center. Then you need to turn around and follow the signs to the Spruce Meadow Ticket office, where you'll pay 60 RMD for BOTH WAY cable cat. Then you take a local bus which goes to the Blue Moon Lake spot, there, on the right hand, you'll see Spruce Meadow Ropeway. When you are there - take your time, don't rush!

It took four people at my hotel and one on the phone to convey "Yuhu/Xuesong" to my Naxi taxi driver but the village does still have Naxi living in it, traditional architecture, and the historic home where Joseph Rock lived for many years. Definitely worth visiting, very close to the Yuzhuqingtian (Jade Pillar Supporting the Sky), another taxi/bus challenge to reach but also worth the effort. Yuhu, #14 bus, 2¥, or 300¥ all day round trip taxi from Lijiang including Yugengsi, Baisha, Yu zhu qing tian, Yufensi, and Fuguo Temple.
