Weishan Ancient City (巍山古城) in Yunnan (云南) is a historical and cultural city located at the foot of Ailao Mountain (哀牢山). Known as the cradle of the Nanzhao Kingdom (南诏王国), it was first built during the Yuan Dynasty (元朝) and has retained its style and features to this day. Weishan boasts a long history with numerous temples, integrating beautifully with the natural landscape.

The town is celebrated for being the birthplace of Nanzhao culture, with its streets and residences showcasing traditional Chinese construction styles, particularly from the Ming (明朝) and Qing (清朝) dynasties. The town's layout, resembling a chessboard, has been preserved for over 600 years, making it a significant example of ancient architectural complexes from these periods.

Main attractions include the Xinggong Tower (星拱楼) and Gongchen Tower (拱辰楼), which stand as remarkable buildings within the town. Weishan is also home to Weibao Mountain (巍宝山), one of China's famous Taoist mountains, and Yuanjue Temple (圆觉寺), nestled in a serene forest setting.
