Weishan Ancient City | Historical and Cultural Cities

Tucked deep in the mountains of Yunnan, Weishan was once a bustling stop on the ancient Tea Horse Road. It also has another claim of fame: as the birthplace of the legendary kingdom of Nanzhao! Today it’s a quiet and sleepy town whose cobbled lanes positively ooze culture and history. Where else on earth would it be possible to breathe in the cultures of Sichuan and the Tibetan area, while sipping Hundred Year Tea and hearing the whispering echoes of empire, poetry, and timeless mountain life?
