白沙古鎮是麗江土司木氏家族的發源地，也被稱為納西古王國之都。在宋元朝代，這裡曾是繁榮的政治、文化及商貿中心，如今旅遊業蓬勃發展，鎮上新穎的建築還不斷地在建，殘留下的歷史古蹟就以大寶積殿的白沙壁畫成了最重要的旅遊景點。我們在鎮上的納西餐廳吃了午餐，就去參觀傳統的納西手工刺繡。這家族世襲精傳刺繡的手藝，繡出來每一件作品都像細膩的工筆畫。然後再去參觀白沙壁畫，及在文昌宮的木氏土司歷史文化展。
Baisha (White sand) Town is one of the oldest towns in Lijiang. It’s the earliest settlement of Naxi people and the birthplace of the Mu Family which has ruled Lijiang in 14th century. Nowadays Baisha Town is famous with Baisha’s murals (more info: click here). We had our lunch here at a Naxi’s restaurant, then we went to visit a Naxi’s family that well known for Naxi’s traditional hand-made embroidery. After that, we went to see the Baisha’s murals at Daboji Palace and the history of Mu Family at Wenchang Palace.

裡面不能拍照，但我實在很喜歡這庭院中間的這副“四福鬧壽”，就要求拍了這麽一張。解說員是這世家的一員，她說這有石頭瓦片等拼成的圖騰下方是層細沙，下雨時，雨水打在地上不會濺起，雨水往下滲入細沙並流到下方的暗溝，所以不會積水，走在上面也不會弄濕鞋子。
In picture is a traditional way to deco the courtyard. The graphic has been created by stones, round tiles and bricks. Under the graphic is a layer of sand. During rains, no splashing water on it and the floor can keep dry because the water will flow into sand layer and collect by undergound drain. This’s really a beautiful and smart idea for courtyard.

來去看白沙壁畫了。

導遊帶我們從後門來到大寶積殿看白沙壁畫。
Dabaoji Palace.






大寶積殿內的壁畫因作畫時使用動物的血之類的，經過時間的消磨，己經無法在承受太多的光線照射，所以，禁止拍照。
We could not make pictures of the original mural. Due to aging and daylight, the mural is losing it’s quality a lot.

這是副本，供拍照用的。
This’s a copy, just for picture.

遺憾的是遇到不樂業敬業的導遊，回來在網路上才發現這裡除了大寶積殿內，還有更多的白沙壁畫可以參觀。





繼續往這天的最後一站：束河古鎮。
