Baisha is a small village 10km north of Lijiang. Although the traditional houses do not look very impressive, Baisha was the historical capital of the Naxi kingdom and is still a good place to have a glance at the Naxi culture. There are old temples with interesting frescoes (photography is forbidden inside), traditional musicians, as well as Dr Ho, probably one of the best known Naxi men, a Taoist doctor specialist in herbal medicine, made famous by journalists all around the world, who enjoys the celebrity.
