Yi Ren Gu Zhen ("Ancient Town of the Yi People") is an ancient town and tourist attraction in the northwestern "new town".
 There is nightly dancing and music with people of the Yi People (who are one of China's 55 ethnic minorities).
 The Yi people's authentic, hand-made garb can be purchased in this community, along with many other hand-made items.

As of early 2007, the recently constructed Xin Long Jiang Guang Chang Mall features a Jack Jones clothing store, an Only clothing store, a Tissot retail store, and many other high-end items for sale.
 These international commercial outlets were nonexistent prior to 2007, and are most likely a sign of the prosperity of the city due to its central location between three major tourist attractions in Yunnan (Kunming, Dali, and Lijiang).

The Chuxiong 10-Month Solar Calendar Cultural Park was completed in 1999.
