The lowest temperature in the coldest is from 4.2 C to 12.1 C. The difference of the temperature in the four seasons is not very big, so it is suitable for touring all the year round. Local Festivals and Folk Custom Folk Dance Tso (dance in Naxi from original meaning of jump) of Naxi included both the religious Tomba-Tso and sectarian Me-da-Tso, Ro-Ro-Tso. Tomba Tso served as a physical accompany in ritual of Dobar and was believed to be weapon in dispelling the ghost who brought sickness and pain to Naxi, the body movement of Dobar imitate the animals and borrowed a lot from tribal martial art. Dobar Tso is thus divided into categories like Animal Tso, Martial Art Tso, the former show how Dobar borrow the power of big animal to avoid the danger from Nakhi's living environment. In Martial art Tso, Dobar use big knives ,clubs and boxing etc. to show how the human advanced in their fight with threats and dangers from the woods. The body movement and posture of Dobar Tso was recorded in hieroglyphic manuscripts of Dobarism titled Tso-Mo (dance notation or documentation). Young Dobar learn the skill of Dobar Tso from both their Dobar father's instruction and Tso-Mo. According to modern Dobarists, Tso-Mo is the earliest dance documentation in the world. Me-Da-Tso and Ro-Ro-Tso are two major folk dance of the Naxi community, the body movement are companied by songs and no instruments were used. There were no limit on number of dancers and new comer can join by simply putting his/her right hand on his right neighbors or just making hands in hands. All dancers in a shape of a circle move in counter-clockwise direction and their songs usually led to night-long pleasure and relaxation. The difference between Me-Da-Tso and Ro-Ro-Tso is that the former is rhythmically slow and and relaxing while Ro-Ro-Tso is with strong bit and attract Naxii youth most. Some folk dance preferred by present Naxi woman were borrowed from other ethnical community in North-West Yunnan, these group dance are featured by a flutist or piper (actually a boy player of a regional pipe instrument named Hu-Lu-Sen). Naxii youths relaxed quite a bit at the exciting rhythm of the pipe music. Today, the folk dance no longer plays such a key role in social fabric of Naxi community as modern recreation like KTV drained local dancers. Nevertheless, large scale dance are still organized by local government on holidays like International Woman's Day, Chinese Spring Festival and so on, In these holidays, rural woman from suburban Lijiang will wear their Blue-Dark Red Naxi traditional dress and enjoy in the Dse-Tso (singing-dance), and along with more and more incoming tourists and travelers.
