Best Things to DoNo.7 of Best Things to Do in Lijiang

Baisha Ancient Town is an ancient town about 12 kilometers north of Lijiang City. It was the original settlement of the Naxi people in Lijiangba and the birthplace of Lijiang Mu's Toast. At present, it still retains the antique style, and it is very quiet and simple. The "white sand murals" in the town of Ming and Qing Dynasties are even more precious. Some people say that Baisha is Lijiang ten years ago. There is only an old commercial street here, and there are many local Naxi courtyards, which retain the original appearance of the ancient town, and you can see the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain when you look up. The small shops selling souvenirs mainly sell two kinds of things, one is tie-dye, the other is all kinds of imitation antiques, and there are some cafes and snack bars. Compared with the bustling business of Dayan and Shuhe, Baisha Ancient Town is a relatively quiet place. The strange thing is that although the streets here are relatively old, there are almost foreign English signs on the doors and windows of the streets, and some shops can also do business with foreign tourists in English. This is because most of the people who came to Baisha in the past were foreigners, who preferred the primitive Naxi folk customs here, and the locals also learned foreign languages. There is a very famous attraction in the ancient town "Baisha Murals". The painting of "Baisha Murals" lasted for more than 300 years from the early Ming Dynasty to the early Qing Dynasty. When you come to Baisha Ancient Town, you might as well come here to learn about Dongba culture. In addition to this scenic spot, most of the people who come to Baisha Ancient Town are for the sake of the cleanliness here. Chatting in languages you know or don't understand makes people feel relaxed and leisurely.
