Sleep in Baoshan Stone Town, a Naxi village built on a rock
Baoshan, Yulong county, Lijiang
A Naxi village of stone houses packed onto a mushroom-shaped outcrop above the Jinsha River, with cliffs on three sides and more than 1,300 years of history. Lanes, walls and even some tables and stoves are cut from the rock. It is nearly three hours of mountain road from Lijiang, so book a night in one of the village guesthouses and walk the lanes in the evening and at first light instead of rushing back.
What locals sayVisitors who make the trip rate the clifftop setting highly; the catch is the long, winding drive and mostly basic to mid-range guesthouses.
