Life advice! Visit this ancient town under the snow mountain when you come to Lijiang, then go on

This is Baisha Ancient Town, located in Yulong Naxi Autonomous County, Lijiang City, Yunnan Province, 10 kilometers away from Lijiang Ancient Town. It is north of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, east of Dadu, south of Shuhe, and west of Wenhai. It is a place less than half an hour's drive from the hustle and bustle, where you can find the tranquility of Lijiang away from the busy streets. Baisha Ancient Town is the earliest settlement area for the Naxi people when they came to the Lijiang basin and has the longest history of human habitation in the entire Naxi region of Lijiang. While developing tourism, it still preserves a large area of Naxi residential buildings. It has not been overdeveloped and is quieter compared to Dayan and Shuhe, and you can see the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain just by looking up. Baisha Ancient Town is divided into two main parts: the sightseeing street and the Baisha Murals. The Baisha Murals are the town's most famous attraction, painted from the early Ming Dynasty to the early Qing Dynasty, spanning over 300 years, and are a great place to understand the Dongba culture. The Baisha Murals are also one of the four great murals in China, vividly reflecting the ancient Naxi people's inclusive approach to diverse cultures. It is the crystallization of the convergence of multiple religious cultures such as Taoism, Tibetan Buddhism, Han Buddhism, and Dongba religion.
