 Baisha Fresco
白沙壁画
Baisha Ancient Town is located 11 kilometers north of Lijiang. A great number of frescos of Ming and Qing Dynasties are collected in the Colored Glaze Palace (Liuli Dian) and Dabaoji Palace (Dabaoji Gong).
The greatest feature of the frescos is the syncretism. Figures of Buddism, Taoism and Lamaism are painted together, which is peculiar in the world.
In actual fact, fresco of this type could be seen not just in Baisha Ancient Town, but other ten temples in Dayan County, Shuhe County, Zhonghai County, Yangxi County and some others.
