​Known as "Lijiang Ancient Wall Painting”, the preciousness of the Basha Wall Painting is from the artists of Han, Tibet, and Naxi nationalities. Combining the realizations into creations broke through the limitation of religion theme and reflected the social life of Naxi nationality.

In late year of Ming Dynasty and in Qing Dynasty, when people repaired the Dading Pavilion in Baisha, they found that each ancient wall painting melts Chanzong, Mizong and Taoism and Buddhism. The figures' proportion, composition, color and change are different from the Big Baoji Palace. The painters are mostly Naxi nationality. However, the making level cannot reach the former wall paintings. It's forbidden to take pictures of frescoes.
