Baisha Ancient Town, a lost pearl on the Tea-Horse Road, with its mountainous and water-side layout solidifying the Ming and Qing Dynasty architectural groups into time amber. Smooth stone streets wind through houses with upturned eaves, and the remaining painted decorations on wooden window frames still reveal the aesthetic codes of the Naxi ancestors. The murals within the town are interwoven with Taoist incantations and Dongba characters, serving as a living ethnic art archive, with the “Three Multiples Palace” wall’s depiction of the “Six Gods Chart” being particularly mysterious, with vibrant mineral pigments still bright after four hundred years.
