Introduction

The Mu Palace in Lijiang Ancient Town is the former residence of the Mu family, who were rulers of the area during the Ming Dynasty. It incorporates the styles of Central Plains architecture along with those of the Bai and Naxi ethnic groups, and is one of the town's most iconic buildings. After several centuries, much of the palace was destroyed by war, and the surviving parts were severely damaged during the 1996 earthquake. The reconstructed Mu Palace now stands tall as a major attraction in Lijiang Ancient Town. If you visit Lijiang and don't experience the Mu Palace, you can hardly say that you've truly set foot in this ancient city.
