【China。七彩雲南】20140725。麗江白沙古鎮與白沙壁畫 Baisha’s Mural & Baisha Town, Lijiang

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.

【China。七彩雲南】20140724。麗江古城 Lijiang Ancient Town

麗江古城,又名大研鎮,是座歷史悠久、沒有圍牆的古城,已被列為世界文化遺產之一。城裡四處小橋流水,街上不是商店,就是餐廳酒吧,再來就是客棧酒店。這裡大多數店家都有漢字和東巴象形文字的招牌,英文招牌名字就別太認真看,有的全是漢語拼音,有的翻譯得讓人搖頭,不然就是讓人笑掉大牙。房子建築方面,外觀極有古味,屋頂的懸魚多為單魚或雙魚,還有很多東巴圖騰的大小木雕藝術品等等,讓人駐足欣賞的東西實在太多。所以,我們在古城裡不知不覺就逛了幾個小時,直到夜深了才打車回酒店休息。 Lijiang Ancient Town, or Dayan Town, is one fo the UNESCO world heritages with more than 800 years history.
