(260119) -- LIJIANG, Jan. 19, 2026 (Xinhua) -- People visit the Yuhu Village of Lijiang City, southwest China's Yunnan Province, Jan. 17, 2026. Yuhu Village, nestled in Baisha Township of Yulong Naxi Autonomous County in the city of Lijiang in Yunnan, is one of the earliest settlements of the Naxi ethnic people. The village was once among the poorest villages in Lijiang because of its poor soil and limited transportation links.
In recent years, Yuhu has developed a distinct path that balances economic growth with environmental protection. Leveraging its well-preserved Naxi cultural heritage and exceptional natural scenery, the village has attracted visitors from around the world. At the same time, it has continued to improve infrastructure and public services, attracting a growing number of residents to return home for businesses.
In 2025, Yuhu Village welcomed about 1.2 million visits, generating 75 million yuan (10.8 million U.S. dollars) in revenue -- with the average income of locals increasing from 13,000 yuan (1,865 U.S. dollars) in 2019 to about 35,000 yuan (5,022 U.S. dollars). (Xinhua/Wang Guansen)
