ancient geosynclines when dinosaurs roamed on the Earth.
In the Naxi People¡¯s language, Jade Dragon Snow Mountain
means the place for loves that die for their love. Jade
Dragon Snow Mountain has rich vegetation coverage, featuring
distinct and complete alpine vertical ecosystem from

Baisha Murals: These murals are in Baisha Village
which lies in the north of Lijiang. Baisha murals are
mostly from the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). Among the
55 existing murals, the largest one is at the Dabaoji
Hall of Baisha. Most Baisha murals depict religious
stories, and one characteristic is to combine several
legends into one picture. They are an artistic crystallization
combining the Naxi, Tibetan, Bai and Han styles. The
originality and figures of the mural paintings reflect
the different religious cultures and artistic forms
of Buddhism, Lamaism, Daoism and the Dongba Religion
of Naxi People.
Naxi
People: They live in concentrated communities in
the Lijiang Naxi Autonomous County in Yunnan Province,
their language belongs to the Chinese-Tibetan language
family. More than 1,000 years ago, the Naxi people had

script".
