Baisha Ancient Town

If you are looking to enjoy an old town environment but escape the crowds this place is a great choice.

Baisha is the ancient capital of Naxi nationality, once the center of Lijiang politics, economy, commerce and culture. Baisha Ancient Town is the origin of Mu's toast regime. As early as the Tang Dynasty, when the Nanyu Wang Fengyuyu Snow Mountain was "Beiyue", Mu's ancestors were Lijiang King, and Baisha Street and Beiyue Temple were built here. Mu's in Baisha Ancient Town began to attract spring water from the Yulong Snow Mountain to pass through the town.

Dali Lijiang Ancient City has visited, I heard that Baisha Ancient Town has been newly developed, the style is very good, and I am very fond of it. Many shops are still rebuilding and renovating... There is a store with a dog photo that must buy things... The experience is very poor...

Baisha Ancient Town has a thousand years of history, Mushi began to draw spring water from the Yulong Snow Mountain to pass through the center of the commercial square, and later in Dayan will play the wonderfulness of the flowing water to the fullest. Baisha Ancient Town is very developed in commerce and handicrafts. Before liberation, there were more than 150 copper workshops in Baisha. The copperware is mainly used for copper hot pot, copper pot, copper pot, copper foil, oil lamps and other items needed by Tibetan areas and surrounding ethnic minorities. But for the reasons of post-liberation history, there is only one on Baisha Street. Still insisting on hand-drawing copper. White sand textile and hand-made embroidery has also been very developed. Historically, Naxi embroidery mainly focuses on the daily necessities, paintings and Tibetan Tangka of local tribal chiefs and dignitaries. The folk mainly focus on "stars and moons", waist, back, shoes, insoles. Before liberation, almost everyone embroidered by Naxi and surrounding ethnic minority women, who were centered on Baisha, and almost everyone embroidered. After liberation, there are few good embroidery masters because of the Cultural Revolution and mechanization. The current government-focused Lijiang Jinxiu Vocational Training School, Baisha Jinxiu Art Academy is digging, finishing, inheriting, training and promoting traditional hand-made embroidery. Baisha Splendid Art Academy, between the parking lot and Sifang Street, is a typical Naxi courtyard complex, with four yards, antique, the ground is auspicious pattern of traditional craft tiles and goose warm stone paving, doors and windows are old and very particular, very tasteful. Baisha Splendid Art Academy is a demonstration base for ethnic embroidery and Dongba culture inheritance, promotion and women's employment supported by the local government. Here you can not only appreciate the beauty of Naxi's traditional architectural courtyard, but also appreciate the cultural dinner of ethnic embroidery, which is very shocking. Some people create embroidery on the spot, and there are also high-school and low-end works available for purchase in the exhibition hall, but there are still differences in the price of handmade artwork and cross-stitch and machine embroidery. There is no ticket, it is worth visiting.

It is a grand festival of the Naxi statutory ethnic festival, the traditional Naxi festival, and the Naxi festival to the greatest protection god of the ethnic group. It is equivalent to our Spring Festival, and the local holiday is three days. Unfortunately, we didn't do our homework and went two days early.

After 15 years, under the pressure of the epidemic, I visited Lijiang again. It can be called a surprise only Baisha. Like many strategies, the simplicity and quietness of Baisha is her charm. Craftsmen, romantic poets, and storm travelers from all over the world settle here. Even if there are not many small shops visited by guests in a day, there is still a sense of ritual. As a tourist, you have to slow down your heart. Different small shops have different stories and have different joys.
