Tourism

[edit]
Neolithic painting at the 'Great King' painting site above Malipo in Wenshan prefecture, Yunnan province, China.

One major tourist attraction is the neolithic rock art above Malipo itself, apparently known as the 'Great King' site for the two dominant figures at the center of the artwork. It is said to be over 4000 years old.[19]
