Yuhu Village, literally meaning Jade Lake Village is located about 18 kilometers (11 miles) north of Lijiang Ancient Town. Jade Lake is a man-made lake for the Mu Family, who used to be the headmen of Lijiang area. The family also had summer palace, Jade Dragon Academy and deer farm built by the lake. The earliest Yuhu villagers were palace guards and deer keepers of the Mu Family. The Former Residence of Joseph Rock is located in this village.
