History of Yongping County in Dali
Southern Silk Road
The Southern Silk Road is a ancient network of footpaths crossing Yunnan from East to West that provided trade links between China and the West. The part that passes the Bonan mountains is known as the Bonan trail (博南古道, Bo Nan Gu Dao).Also of a later date and less used then the Northern Silk Road it still provided a link between the cultures of China and Burma and the Indian subcontinent. Marco Polo took this route through Yunnan on his way back from visiting the Burmese king in Bagan.
Start and finish of the trail
Like any road or trail going east west in Yunnan crosses serious rivers and high mountain chains.The trails lead across these mountain ranges to the places where the big rivers could be crossed.The Bonan trail started in Yangbi at the Yunlong Bridge and ends in the Walled town of Tengchong across the Gaoligongshan mountains and crosses the Lancangjiang (Mekong) river at the Jihong Bridge (Build in 1681 as a metal chain bridge, before there was a rattan bridge at the same location) and the Nujiang (Salween) river at the double Shuanghong Bridge (Build in 1759) or later the Huiren Bridge (Build in 1839). On its way the trails cross several smaller rivers and streams.
Original trail
Historic documents tell the story of temples in combination with the Silk Road trail. These temples were regarded to be safe stopovers and travellers often stayed there overnight. One of the mentioned places is the Jiang Ding Si temple.
Most of these trails were just dirt roads but some stretches got paved such as the trail in front of the Jiang Ding temple. The thousands of pack horses and mules have worn out the trail with their iron clad hoofs and their marks still can be seen in the paving stones of the trail.
Recently it got quite busy again along the trail near the Jiang Ding Si temple. New access roads and a whole new suspension bridge were build to aid the work on a huge railway bridge for the new Dali/Baoshan high-speed railway.
An old saying goes “Dali, habitat to paradise, the best mountains and rivers to travel, and the two can not taste, but in Dali.” Dali is one of the most appropriate places for living and the paradise for the harmony of multiculturalism and nature.

Dali Geothermal State is located 2 kilometers northeast of Er’yuan county seat and adjacent to Cibi Lake. It’s about 50 kilometers from Dali Old Town.
Er’yuan is known as hometown of hot springs in Dali. It’s said that Jianwen Emperor of the Ming Dynasty once enjoyed hot spring bath here. Most of the hot springs in Er’yuan County exhibits water temperature from 70 to 90 degrees Celsius, and contain potassium, calcium, magnesium, ferrum and other minerals. Bathing and “steamed” in such springs is believed to help cure some diseases, for which Er’yuan geothermal state is regarded as “a natural therapy hospital”. Covering nearly 1,000 Mu (Chinese acre), it has been the largest open-air hot spring bath spot in Asia.
A long history has endowed Eryuan County with a profound cultural heritage. There are 27 very important protected cultural heritage sites within the county, three of which are at a provincial level. Inhabitants of this land in ancient times left behind numerous legends or relics. In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, Langqiongzhao (a Yunnan tribe at the time) built the Phoenix Platform, and dug the Baishajing (literally meaning “White Sand Well”). Emperor Jianwen (the second emperor in the Ming Dynasty) slept in a cave called Mianlongdong (named thus after he slept there, for the name means “the cave where an emperor slept”), and farmed in Shilongsi. The list goes on. All those various ethnic groups in Eryuan County have created a magnificent endemic culture through their diligence and wisdom. They are also very good at dancing and singing. Because of the above-mentioned facts, Eryuan County is praised as “the land of myths”, “the land where the heavenly maids scatter down songs” and “the land of Bai ethnicity’s suona”.
Innumerable tourists visit Eryuan County in throngs to see its beautiful lakesides and mountains, its numerous humanistic landscapes, and its rich ethnic culture and customs.

Xinhua, A Village Of Silversmiths
Xinhua, also known as Shizhaizi, is a Bai ethnic village in the northwest of Heqing County of Dali Prefecture. It’s only 40 kilometers or 30 minutes’ drive from Lijiang.
In the dialect of local Bais, Xinhua is called “Nahezi”, “Buhezi”, and “Zhoyiguozi”. For centuries, Xinhua has been noted for its silverwares preferred by Tibetans and other minority groups. Villagers there inherited the family trade since the Nanzhao Period (738-937) in the Tang Dynasty. Each family is a factory or workshop for handicrafts made from silver, copper, and even gold. Marked as “Shizhaizi Silverwares”, silverwares from Xinhua Village are especially popular in ethnic areas of Yunnan, Sichuan, Qinghai, Tibet, Xinjiang, Gansu, Inner Mongolia, Guizhou and Hunan etc; some are even exported to India, Pakistan, Myanmar, Thailand, Nepal, Japan and the United States.

Weishan Nanzhao Kingdom History
Dali is more famous because it was long the capital of the Nanzhao Kingdom, Tang Dynasty China’s rival in the southwest, and its successor the Kingdom of Dali, which remained independent until overwhelmed by Kubilai Khan’s Mongols in 1253. It is also near scenic Erhai Lake and mountains of 4000+ meters, which made it a prime destination from the very dawn of modern tourism. Weishan is less well endowed physically and topographically, but did not undergo the commercial transformation of Dali, where now virtually every building caters to the tourist industry. Weishan is still a slice of Old China, unique in western Yunnan.
Moreover, it has its historical importance as well, for the Nanzhao Kingdom had its start right here, in the 7th century, when the town was known as Mengshe, the capital of one of the six native chiefdoms, or zhao, roughly in the area that is now Dali Prefecture. Being in the most southern location of the six, the area around Mengshe was the Southern zhao—Nanzhao. In 649 its ruler Xinuluo conquered a neighboring tribe in Midu and shortly after, when Tang Court officials were looking for an ally to secure their southwest frontier they chose Xinuluo’s state.
Four generations later Mengshe’s ruler Piluoge conquered the other five zhao. In 738 the Tang conferred a royal title on him and recognized Nanzhao as a vassal state. Piluoge’s own opinion, and that of his successors, was that Nanzhao was independent on a par with Tang China. Until it fell in the early 10th century, shortly after the Tang regime’s own demise, Nanzhao fought both Tibet and China for control of the region, periodically launching invasions into Sichuan, defeating any invasion into its own realm. But now that Piluoge’s success had made Nanzhao a bigger state, the capital shifted closer to Erhai Lake; first at Taihe, then Dali.
Mengshe lost its political importance and had no impact on the history of the next several centuries. Nanzhao expanded, contracted and imploded. Its successor Dali lived in peace with Song Dynasty China until the Mongol conquest. With the rise of the Ming Dynasty in the 14th century, the Mongols evacuated and the Ming Court began sending immigrants from eastern China into Yunnan to give it a more Chinese identity. In the Dali area, from 1382 the Ming Court dispatched soldiers to both establish military garrisons and clear land to settle down on farms.
At that time the overwhelming majority of the inhabitants of Yunnan were not Han Chinese but a mixture of many ethnic minorities. In Dali Prefecture the dominant groups are the Bai and Yi. Nanzhao’s ruling class was Yi or proto-Yi, while Dali’s kings were Bai. Today the Bai constitute the largest ethnic minority in the prefecture and dominate the plains areas, while the hills are mostly inhabited by Yi.
Because they are the largest community Dali is an Autonomous Bai Prefecture, where the top officials are Bai. But the Yi and Hui outnumber the Bai in Weishan, so the latter is an Autonomous Yi and Hui County. Some of the Hui are descendants of Kubilai Khan’s Central Asian Muslim allies, who stayed on to administer and garrison the province in the Yuan Dynasty. Others came in after the Ming Dynasty evicted the Mongols and sponsored immigration.
In the late 14th century the city underwent a major transformation, beginning with a name change from Mengshe to Weishan, apparently a contraction of Weibaoshan, a sacred mountain 18 km south of the city that would become home to many temples, mostly Taoist, over the next four centuries. The mountain is swathed in thick forests of pine and cypress, the shrines and temples sited at intervals along roads and paths that ascend to the summit.
Weishan, The Old Capital Of Nanzhao Kingdom
Weishan Old Town is located in Weishan county seat in the south of Dali Prefecture. It’s about 50 kilometers away from Xiaguan (capital city of Dali Prefecture). The name “Weishan” is derived from “Weibaoshan Mountain” in the east.
Referred to as “Xielong” and “Menghua” in ancient times, Weishan is one of the earliest places in Yunnan to be set as counties. Weishan Old Town is claimed to be “the old capital of Nanzhao Kingdom” and is in fact the cradle of Nanzhao Culture. In 737, Pi Luoge-the chieftain of Nanzhao Tribe-was supported by the Tang Court to unify other 5 tribes around Er’hai Lake Area and establish the Nanzhao Kingdom (738-937) (“Nanzhao” means “the south tribe”. It is actually Mengshe Tribe that was situated in the south of Er’hai Lake Area).
Weishan Old Town is not only a state-level historical and cultural town, but also one of the “4 famous cultural towns” (Wen Xian Ming Bang) in Yunnan Province (the other 3 ones are Kunming, Jianshui and Dali). With a history of more than 600 years, the ancient city of Weishan conserved now was firstly built in the 22nd year during Zhu Yuanzhang’ reign. The ancient city of Weishan is also known as Menghua City (méng huà chéng蒙化城), which used to be the birthplace of the ancient Nanzhao Kingdom. Around the ancient city of Weishan, there built solid walls, with four gates on each direct (including the East Gate, the West Gate, the South Gate and the North Gate). In the center of the city, there is a Xinggong Tower (xīng gǒng lóu星拱楼), meaning a tower surrounded by stars. The shape of the ancient city is like a square seal. Inside the city, all the roads are arranged according to the chessboard type, with 24 streets and 18 lanes crossing each other.
The imposing Xinggong Tower and Gongchen Tower (gǒng chén lóu拱辰楼) are the landmarks of the ancient city of Weishan. The houses in the ancient city were built according to the structure of the ancient Chinese style which was popular in the Ming and Qing dynasties. There are many ancient buildings dating back to the Ming and Qing dynasties both inside and outside the ancient city, such as the Confucius’s Temple, Wen Hua School (wén huá shū yuàn文华书院), Yu Huang Pavilion (yù huáng gé玉皇阁), and Dong Yue Palace (dōng yuè gōng东岳宫). “Yu Huang” means the pavilion of the Jade Emperor who is the Supreme Deity of Taoism. “Dong Yue” means the palace of the east mountain.The north gate tower of Weishan is Gongchen Tower (gǒng chén lóu拱辰楼), which was built during the reign of Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang. On the tall walls, there is an ancient building in the style of double-hipped roof with Xie roof (zhòng yán xiē dǐng重檐歇顶), covering an area of five rooms. On the south wall of the gate tower hangs a horizontal tablet inscribed with four Chinese characters “Kui Xiong Liu Zhao” (kuí xióng liù zhào魁雄六诏), while on the north wall hangs a horizontal tablet inscribed with “Wan Li Zhan Tian” (wàn lǐ zhān tiān万里瞻天). The walls and the tablets are all imposing and powerful. The ancient tower is 23.5 meters tall, with the bottom wall of 8.3 meters tall. The structure of the tower is supported by 28 pillars. Climbing along the steps from the two small gates in the east or the gate in the west to the top of the tower and look around, tourists can see four main streets stretching respectively towards the directions of the east, the west, the south and the north. The houses are neatly arranged. From the top of the tower, tourists can have a panoramic view of the whole Weishan County, with magnificent scenery.
The ethnic culture of Weishan is also seductive. You can enjoy the Dage (sining and dancing) of the Yi people and Dongjing Music. Weishan is also a producer of bandhnu (tie-dying) products that sell well both at home and abroad.
Nanxi Village, which belongs to the Hu Gong Village Committee of Quhe Town in Gucheng District of Lijiang City, is located at the foot of Wenbi Peak in Huangshan Town, at an altitude of over 3,000 meters. Surrounded by green mountains, it is like a pearl that has been left behind. The village still retains its original and simple appearance, with every inch of land and every building telling stories of the past. When summer arrives, it becomes a sea of flowers, and is thus known as the “Little Shangri-La.” Next, let us step into the four seasons of Nanxi Village and appreciate its unique charm.
Spring Melody: A Golden Tapestry Unfolds in the Mountains
In spring, Nanxi Village is like a splendid oil painting, and its rapeseed flower scenery is no less beautiful than that of Luoping (罗平). With the arrival of spring, the rapeseed flowers start from the foot of the mountain and gradually spread to the hills like a golden tide. The undulating mountains are surrounded by this golden sea of flowers, as if they are wearing a magnificent coat. Walking among the rapeseed flowers, you can see the white clouds in the sky, like cotton candy, seemingly within reach. The warm sunshine filters through the clouds and falls on you, bringing a gentle warmth that makes you want to reach out and feel this beauty. At this time, Nanxi Village is full of vitality and hope, with each rapeseed flower swaying in the breeze, as if telling the story of spring.
Summer Blossoms: A Colorful Dreamlike World
Summer is the most beautiful season in Nanxi Village, and it is also the season when flowers bloom. Potatoes flowers, rapeseed flowers, sangge flowers, and various wildflowers whose names we do not know take turns to bloom. When the breeze blows, the sea of flowers rises and falls like waves, dressing the entire Nanxi Village in a picturesque rural oil painting. In this sea of flowers, it feels like you are in a dreamlike world, with the colorful flowers dazzling the eyes. Butterflies dance gracefully among the flowers, and bees busily flit from flower to flower, adding a touch of liveliness and vitality to the painting. At this time, Nanxi Village is nature’s most proud masterpiece, with every color and every fragrance intoxicating.
Autumn Colors: The Romance of Gesang Flowers and Colorful Mountains
In autumn, the gesang flowers on the grasslands of Nanxi Village bloom freely, exuding an extreme romance. The grass gradually turns from green to yellow, and the foothills shed their tender green clothes and put on the autumn attire of a blue-green color. The mountains are shrouded in mist, like a dream, adding a touch of mystery to the entire village. However, the sky of Nanxi Village remains as blue as a gemstone, so bright that it makes one’s eyes brighten. In the cloudless sky, a few idle clouds occasionally drift by, floating quietly as if telling the leisure of autumn. At this time, Nanxi Village has both the tranquility and depth of autumn and the romance and passion brought by gesang flowers. The two blend together to form a unique autumn painting.
Winter Serenity: A Peaceful and Harmonious Winter Time
In winter, the green mountains of Nanxi Village have turned into a withered yellow, and the grasslands are like a withered yellow carpet, fluffy and spread out beside Wenhai Lake (文海). Among the aquatic plants of Wenhai Lake, egrets play and frolic leisurely, adding a touch of vitality to the quiet winter. The winter wind blows desolately, as if singing an ode to the season. The Naxi village in Nanxi Village still maintains its tranquility, with villagers methodically preparing for the new year. At this time, Nanxi Village is free from the hustle and bustle of the city, leaving only peace and harmony, allowing the soul to relax as never before.
Journey of Discovery: Heading to Nanxi Village
Nanxi Village is not far from Lijiang, only 25 kilometers away, even closer than the snow mountain. Starting from the Lijiang Ancient Town and navigating to Nanxi Village, the scenery along the way is also breathtaking. The first thing that comes into view is Wenbi Lake (文笔海), the largest wetland in the Lijiang Basin. The lake water is crystal clear and sparkles in the sunlight. The grass by the lake is lush, with wildflowers scattered among it, as if it were a garden carefully arranged by nature. Next, you will pass by Wenfeng Temple (文峰寺), the highest academy of the Tibetan Buddhist Karma Kagyu White Sect. It is solemn and exudes a strong religious atmosphere. Finally, there is the Vajra Mother Cave (金刚亥母洞), known as the “First Spiritual Cave of the Southern Continent,” which is full of mystery. After passing through fields of potatoes flowers, you will arrive at the longed-for Nanxi Village.
Tips for a Smooth Visit to Nanxi Village

The Kingdom of Nanzhao (南诏) was founded in 737 on the back of a complementary and successful alliance between Bai farmers and Yi nobles. During the apex of its power in the early 9th Century, Nanzhao’s territory covered almost all of modern-day Yunnan, as well as northern portions of Burma, Thailand and Laos.
Conquering Chengdu and the important food production capacity of the Sichuan Basin was Nanzhao’s crowning achievement, but also contained the seeds of its downfall. The Tang Dynasty that was ruling China at the time could not brook such a loss and focused much of its military might on reclaiming Sichuan and pushing Nanzhao’s borders back. By 902 Nanzhao had fallen apart and was overthrown.
In 937 the Kingdom of Dali was founded by Duan Siping (段思平). This kingdom never reached the heights of power enjoyed by the Nanzhao, but it did last longer, surviving until 1253, when it was overrun by invading Mongol forces and incorporated into Yunnan province, which fell under the authority of the Mongol-ruled Yuan Dynasty. Most of the records of the Nanzhao era were destroyed by Mongol forces and for all intents and purposes Dali and Yunnan were never to be fully independent again.
Over the following centuries, Dali remained an important trading town on the Ancient Tea and Horse Road, an extensive trading network connecting Han China with Tibet, Southeast Asia and India – with Dali and Yunnan at the center of it all. Dali was often the northernmost stop for tea traders coming up from southern Yunnan and an eastern stopping point for Tibetans coming down with herbal medicines, salt and yak products.
Dali was also a major horse market for the ancient trade route. Horses were raced during the annual Third Moon Fair (三月街) that is still held between the old town and the mountains, drawing tens of thousands of visitors from around Yunnan and northern Southeast Asia.
The old town of Dali was originally built in the 15th Century under rule by the Ming Dynasty. What you see in Dali Old Town today is the rebuilt Ming town. Since then, the fortunes of Dali have declined and its importance as a cultural and economic centre in the Yunnan area have been overtaken by Kunming, the provincial capital.
1856-1872 Dali was the headquarters of the Panthay Rebellion led by Du Wenxiu. That rebellion commenced as an uprising against local oppressive rulers by the Hui Muslim minority and ended as open rebellion against the Qing Dynasty. The Palace of Du Wenxiu is on Fuxing Road and serves as the local museum (the museum exhibition on the rebellion paints it as a patriot workers revolt which it was not). The rebellion was brutally crushed by the Qing and hundreds of thousands of Yunnan Muslims were killed in revenge.
