Songgui, a township in Heqing County in Yunnan's northwest, hosts a small but interesting temple fair on the 22nd day of the seventh lunar month.

Every year at the end of the seventh lunar month, the Bai of Yunnan come together at the holy temple mountain of Shibaoshan to honour their gods and to have a good time with song and dance.

Raosanling, a temple fair taking place at three villages around Dali in the fourth lunar month, is the most important religious festival in the calendar of the Bai people of Yunnan.

Salt was once the most precious commodity in Yunnan. Essential for the preservation of food, but quite rare in Yunnan, it made the villages where it could be produced rich. Nuodeng, nestled in the mountains of Yunlong county, is one of the atmospheric and friendly villages in Yunnan.
