Lijiang
Murals
 The
frescoes at Dunhuang are a vivid reflection
of the Buddhist culture existing in this
area at the time of their creation. This
site also provides a fascinating insight
into Tibetan Buddhism, Han Buddhism and
Taoism.
Located in Baisha Township,
8km north of the seat of the Lijiang Naxi
Nationality Autonomous County, there are
53 fresco groups located in the hall. These
mural paintings, with their fine and smooth
lines, bright colors,vivid pattern and balanced
and harmonious composition are a wonderful
sight. These frescoes are only crucial to
the history of Chinese painting, but are
important cultural heritage relics too.
