My lack of education in my youth left me with almost no knowledge of the history of ethnic minorities in border areas. I only learned about the Duan Dynasty of Dali from Jin Yong's books.
This same region also housed the Nanzhao Kingdom (a local minority regime), whose origins lie in what is now Weishan Yi and Hui Autonomous County, part of Dali Prefecture.
With its blessed land and outstanding people, Weishan is also known as "a famous state of literature" as depicted in a memorial archway. Without a profound cultural heritage, I wouldn't dare claim that title.
A Tiananmen-style city gate showcases the grandeur of Menghua Prefecture over 600 years ago. A drum tower, nestled in the heart of the ancient city, towers over a cluster of historic neighborhoods. This is also an important town on the Ancient Tea Horse Road. There are many large courtyards of horse owners in the city.
