We will visit the landmark of Kunming -the Golden Horse and Phoenix Archway, which is located at the corner of Sanshi Road and Jinbi Road. The archway is 12 meters in height, and 18 meters in width. It is a typical architecture of traditional Kunming style. To the north, there is an archway called Zhong'ai Archway. They all are one group of the most important places of interest in Kunming.

In the afternoon, we will visit Weishan Ancient City, which was built in Ming Dynasty (1390 A.D.). Walking along the streets in the styles of Ming and Qing Dynasty, we could enjoy the primitive and unsophisticated atmosphere.

In 1961, it was listed among the first cultural relics under national protection. There are 3 parts and 16 caves and 160 life-like sculptures of various shapes, which reflect a fusion of Han culture and Tibetan culture.

On October 11, 2001, the World Memorial Fund for Architecture (WMF), an international fund for the protection of world heritage sites announced in New York that the relic of an ancient bazaar-Sideng Street in Shaxi Town of Yunnan, China, has been added to the 2002 list of internationally significant sites, together with the Great Wall, the Ohel Rachel Synagogue of Shanghai and the Christian Pagoda and Monastery of Shannxi Province. Shaxi is a historical old town. There we could find well-preserved drama platform, horse-caravan-inn, temple, city gate, old square road. It is a typical record to of what the Ancient Tea and House Caravan market was really like. It would be great fun walking on the old red flagstones, stepping up to the drama platform, looking around the horse-caravan inn and the shops in the Square Street, and visiting the temples, which mix the culture of the east and west. We are proud that our people have done well to preserve the ancient market in excellent condition.

Day 6 Lijiang sightseeing
Lijiang is a beautiful shining 'jewel' on the Northwest Yunnan Plateau, neighboring the southeast side of the Tibetan Plateau, which is called the 'Roof of the World'. We will first head to the scenic Black Dragon Pool to explore the rich Naxi minority culture. Lijiang is the home to Naxi, a minority with matrilineal culture. Naxi is featured by the Dongba Language (Dongba means 'shamans')--a local language with writing system consisting of more than 1300 pictographs. The Dongba Language, which was created more than a thousand years ago, is currently the only existing hieroglyphic language. After then, we'll enjoy our free time in the Old Town of Lijiang. Once passing the Waterwheel at the entrance of the Old Lijiang Town, we will find ourselves transported into a world of narrow cobblestone streets bordering canals of crystal clear freshly melted snow. It has kept unchanged since the Ming Dynasty (A.D.1368-1644) when the town was founded. Lijiang, possibly the best-preserved old town in China, is one of the last places in this country where we can witness and experience a historical, traditional, ancient urban culture. Remarkably, the old houses with stone foundations, plastered whitewashed brick walls, red wooden doors, shutters and balconies, and sloping tiled roofs, survived a recent earthquake without much damage, while the new concrete buildings were flattened. The canals are lined with weeping willows and decorative arched bridges linking one alley to the next. After dinner, we will attend the concert of the ancient Naxi music in the evening.
