 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. |
