Baisha Village near Lijiang City (Yunnan, China) - Official Local Tourism Attractions on Waymarking.com

Baisha is a small village in Yulong Naxi Autonomous County, part of Lijiang city, well-known for its Jade Dragon Snow Mountain range. It is the original settlement of the Naxi people who came to the greater Lijiang Valley over a thousand years ago.

Made up of at least 12 smaller villages, the main village is Sanyuan, which has one main stone street called of course, Baisha Street. In XIII-XIVth centuries Baisha was the capital of the Naxi kingdom. Baisha has a typical Chinese "old-town" tourist setup, consisting of a stone paved street with a mixture of Chinese trinket sellers-shops and several quaint cafes to stop at relax, have a drink some Yunnan coffee eat a Naxi Pie and avoid the crowded Lijiang. One of the main attractions in Baisha are Buddhist temples with numerous medieval frescoes with Tibetan-Buddhism themes - known as "Baisha Murals".
