Yuji Island is a great spot for photographing the sunset on fine days. You could admire the natural beauty of the Erhai Lake on the island as well. The narrow roads wind across the island. You could appreciate the views of Erhai Lake on the viewpoint on the end of the island. The ruin of a battery witnesses the history of the island and the changing local life.
Three unique modern buildings stand out on the island. Qinglu Palace is owned and designed by Zhao Qing, a local artist. Sun Palace and Moon Palace are owned by Yang Liping, a well-known dancer across China. Both of the palaces were designed by Zhao Qing too. With excellent service and high pricing, the Sun Palace is decorated exquisitely. The Moon Palace is Yang’s private residence. It is not open to the public. When the two palaces were under construction, trees on the site were not cut down with the theme of harmony between human beings and nature.
Local tour guides in Bai costumes will interpret the history and culture of Yuji Island to you during the visit.
