The Naxi or Nakhi are an ethnic group inhabiting the foothills of the Himalayas in the northwestern part of Yunnan Province, as well as the southwestern part of Sichuan Province in China. The Naxi are thought to have come originally from Tibet and, until recently, maintained overland trading links with Lhasa and India. The Naxi form one of the 56 ethnic groups officially recognized by the People's Republic of China. The Naxi are traditionally followers of the Dongba religion. Through both Han Chinese and Tibetan cultural influences, they adopted Tibetan Buddhism and, to a lesser extent, Taoism, in the 10th century. The Old Town of Lijiang dates back more than 800 years and was once an important town on the old Tea Horse Road.

The Suzhou Confucian Temple (Chinese: 州文庙), also named the Suzhou Stone Inscription Museum and Suzhou Prefecture School (Chinese: 州府学; a state-run school), was built by Fan Zhongyan, the Prefect of Suzhou, in 1035 CE. It was the first temple school in China and is notable for containing the four greatest steles of the Song Dynasty. Suzhou, the city of canals and gardens, was called the ‘Venice of the East’ by Marco Polo. An ancient Chinese proverb states: ‘In Heaven there is Paradise; on Earth there is Suzhou’. The city’s love affair with gardens dates back 2,500 years and continues still. At the time of the Ming dynasty (1368-1644) there were 250 gardens, of which about a hundred survive, although only a few are open to the public.
