This is the village of Baisha, we cycled to it one afternoon from Lijiang. It is home to the famous Dr Ho, who you may have seen in the most recent Michael Palin expedition Himalaya. Palin visited him in Baisha as have various other famous-ish people. He hangs around outside his home with various newspaper cuttings from international papers stuck to a board by his home, inviting travellers in for a consultation and to make a donation. We met him but declined to visit his home and went off to explore some surrounding temples etc. which (like many things in our guidebooks) we never found but had fun cycling round the villages looking for anyway.
