Yushui village is the holy land of Dongba religion of Naxi nationality. It is a tourist attraction that systematically, comprehensively and vividly displays Naxi culture and the source of the ancient city water system. It is one of the cradles of Naxi culture.
Yushuizhai is located in the north of Baisha Township, only15km away from Lijiang City. It is surrounded by mountains and waters and has beautiful scenery. It is considered as a treasure trove of geomantic omen by Naxi ancestors. It is the place where Naxi people hold sacrificial ceremonies, and it is the Dongba holy place in the Naxi area of Gulijiang. The spring water gushed from the Shenquan in Yushui Village flows through Baisha Ancient Town, feeding the Naxi people for generations, so Yushui Village is called the source of Lijiang.
The origin of Yushui Village Divine Spring is dedicated to the God of Nature. It is said that natural gods and human beings are half-brothers. When their father died and separated, the natural gods occupied all the property, making human beings unable to survive with nothing. After being adjusted by the great god Dongbashro with the birds in the greenhouse, human beings regained land, forests, pastures and so on. As a condition, the god of nature requires human beings to protect nature and worship the god of nature in the god spring where he goes in and out. Since then, Yushui Village has become a place where Naxi people pray and worship natural gods.
The main landscape of Yushui Village is Shenlong Three Waterfalls, which is a strange landscape formed by a group of waterfalls of different sizes. The spring water is clear and flows down from the mountain. There are three stacks of * * *. People call the first cascade the Dragon Waterfall, the second cascade the Dragon Waterfall and the third cascade the Dragon Waterfall, hence the name Dragon Three Waterfalls.
