Introduction

The architectural layout of this ancient city presents an eight-petal lotus shape, with a spacious Moonlight Square at the center. The quaint Tibetan wooden houses surround the square, forming the best-preserved and largest cluster of Tibetan houses, as well as an important hub of the Tea-Horse Ancient Road. This was once an important window for cultural exchange between the Tibetan and Yunnan ethnic groups, as well as a link for economic and trade activities in the Sichuan-Tibet-Yunnan region.
