Monasteries
around Lijiang, among them Puji Monastery, Yafeng Monastery,
Fugao Monastery, and Wenbe Monastery, belong to
Tibetan Buddhist sects. The above-named monasteries, and
countless others in the region, have all been damage during the
Cultural Revolution. The most interesting sights at the
monasteries are old frescoes. There has been a period in
15th and 16th centuries when frescoes had been painted at many
of the monasteries by Tibetan and Naxi artists.
