Wenhai | The Relaxation in Altay

📍Wenhai Village, Lijiang 🏔️A utopia hidden deep in the snow-capped mountains, the tranquility of this primitive village gives one a sense of relaxation akin to being in Altay. Along the way, you can enjoy the scenery of layers of forests dyed in various colors🌿 🐾Feeling the breath of the wind and the sounds of cattle and sheep in the distance, you arrive at Wenhai—a shimmering lake🌌 with magnificent snow-capped mountains🏔️ in full view. - 💚About Wenhai 🤍Wenhai is a lake on the ridge of Yulong Snow Mountain, formed from an ancient glacial lake. 🤍Scattered houses along the lakeside make up Wenhai Village, where the four seasons create a unique sense of relaxation. 🤍This place was also once a must-pass point on the Ancient Tea Horse Road of the Dian-Tibet line, where caravans often rested their mules and horses. 【How to Get There】 🚗You can drive yourself or hire a car (more expensive)—It's easy to get a taxi up, but hard to get one back from Wenhai. There is no public transportation🚌 to reach here, so the best way is to drive yourself, directly navigate to "Wenhai"🗺️ ⭕️If you can't drive, you can take a car to Baisha Ancient Town first, then hike for 3-4 hours to reach Wenhai. The journey is long, so it's recommended to go with companions and within your limits‼️ 🛵You can also reach by riding an electric scooter, as long as you ride slowly, it's relatively safe. You will also encounter many cyclists on the way. ⚠️For solo travelers, it's recommended to start in the morning and descend before 16:00 in the afternoon. The journey is quite long, so be careful❗️❗️❗️ - ⚪️Altitude: Since the altitude is above 3000 meters, it's necessary to acclimate to the high-altitude environment before engaging in activities to avoid strenuous exercise. ⚪️Time: It's recommended to spend at least an entire afternoon or a whole day. For solo travelers, it's advised to start in the morning. Sitting by the lake doing nothing can also let you experience the charm of the "20-minute park effect". ⚪️Accommodation: The nearest ancient town is Baisha Ancient Town. If you plan to stay overnight in Wenhai, you can choose a homestay in the village, which needs to be booked in advance❗️❗️ - 🔹Wenhai is a unique hidden sanctuary deep in the snow-capped mountains. 🔹Currently, a flower town is being developed, and this secluded place behind the towering mountains will attract more and more tourists. 🔹We hope everyone travels responsibly and takes their trash with them.
