Baiyukou scenic resort is located on the west bank of Dianchi Lake, to the southeast of Guanyinshan, 38 kilometers away from Kunming City. It is a small peninsula protruding into the lake, and is in harmonious coordination with the distant cape of Guanyinshan that also stretches into the lake.

The bay of the lake in that locality is renowned for teeming with a kind of small white fish called 'baiyu' in Chinese, hence the name of the place - Baiyukou (the White Fish Mouth).

In 1922, the first year of the Republic of China, a high-ranking official Yu Enxi chose the place for his villa. It is a 3-story stone building, with hills behind and the lake in front. The villa was luxuriously furnished, and a hot-spring bathroom was built separately on the right side of the building. On the east and south sides of the stone building, there are beautiful gardens.
