The Wenhai Ecolodge

With Wenhai Lake near its front steps and the peaks of Jade Dragon in the background,  the Wenhai Ecolodge is a scenic, peaceful mountain retreat. Recently renovated, updated with sustainable energy systems, and community-operated, the Ecolodge is a unique experience in all of China. 

Your trek to the Ecolodge takes you from the Lijiang Valley to Upper Wenhai village.  Located in a converted Naxi courtyard house, the Wenhai Ecolodge provides a great base for day hikes around the lake, to the upper slopes of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain or to more remote Yi villages in the area.  It can also be a starting point for 3 day trek that brings you to the entrance of Tiger Leaping Gorge.

Your accommodations at the ecolodge feature:

  • Twelve newly-renovated, comfortable rooms, many with views of the lake or mountain.
  • An enclosed seating and dining area for reading, writing or chatting with other guests
  • An outdoor patio with a view of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain.
  • Shared bathroom with hot water, shower and flush toilets.
  • Alternative energy systems including biogas and solar panels to decrease the impact on the surrounding resources.
  • A small library with information and books about the cultural and natural resources of Wenhai. 
  • Binoculars available to be checked out by guests. 
  • Traditional country-style Naxi dishes served family-style and prepared by the top cooks in the village. (Meals are vegetarian unless otherwise requested.)

The Wenhai Ecolodge is owned and operated by the Wenhai Cooperative.
