Features: Deep in the Ailao Mountains, at the source of the Hongshui River, lies a small city named Weishan. Though small, Weishan has nurtured a once-flourishing civilization and witnessed countless epic stories. The Nanzhao Dynasty, which dominated the southwestern frontier of China during the Tang Dynasty, originated in Weishan. As the former land of Nanzhao, present-day Weishan preserves many traces of historical civilization. The timeless Ailao Mountains and the winding Hongshui River carry the remnants of the old kingdom and local customs, earning Weishan the status of a national-level historical and cultural city. A small city at the extreme southwestern tip of the motherland, Weishan carries an important history and has left its mark on the history of Chinese civilization.
