In the rubble of ancient steles, left in the courtyard of the Nanzhao Kingdom by the Revolutionary Guards during China's Cultural Revolution, he found tantalizing details in Sanskrit and Chinese of a trading empire. Situated in the Himalayas, between the Moslem sultantes of India and the Asian empires of Tibet and the Song Empire, the Buddhist kings of Da Li enjoyed a geographic advantage and prospered. Further exploration of surrounding towns and roads led the author to conclude that the Bai and Naxi peoples possessed a compelling story, largely unknown in the western world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Createspace Independent Publishing Platform","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44694151201005,"sku":"9781478204572","price":11.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_71448fc3-229d-45a3-8efd-22837db1b5e1.jpg?v=1703772876","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/wind-horse-9781478204572","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
