In history, the Naxi people are a Tibetan-Burmese people. People say that maybe the Naxi pilgrims around Lijiang were determined south to the territory by the Mongol tribesmen who vanquished China. The Mongols established the Yuan Dynasty in the year 1271. The Naxi towns were on the back of the Chama exchange course, so they had contact with people who went through including the Tibetans, the Hans, and the Bais who lived in the Dali range. Baisha Town around 6 kilometers to the south of the amusement park was one of the real old towns.
There are presently around 200,000 Naxi people living in Lijiang County. They live in different places as well. Around 300,000 people still talk the Naxi dialect in China. In the 1960s and 1970s, the administration attempted to kill their religion, conventions and composing framework. A great many archives were demolished. By the late 1990s, just some old people could read and compose their dialect.
