Zhiziluo is a very peculiar village. Locals still call it "Bijiang". It is also the "abandoned city" in the legends of many travelers. "Zhiziluo" means "good place" in Lisu language. It is an ancient Nu ethnic group settlement. Before 1974, Zhiziluo was the seat of the Nujiang Prefecture and before 1986, it was the seat of the original Bijiang County Government. It has the advantage of a well-connected geographical location and occupies the throat of the Nujiang Gorge. However, the slope here is too large. In the mid-1980s, the geological department conducted a survey based on the increasingly severe landslides and finally concluded that there was a possibility of large-scale landslides in Zhiziluo, and the city was destroyed and people died. In December 1986, Bijiang County was abolished, and Zhiziluo was deserted. Many years have passed, and the predicted disaster has not yet occurred. The new buildings of that year have become dilapidated and some villagers have moved into houses that have been empty for a long time. The houses here are fixed in the appearance of the county town in the 1970s and 1980s, so it is called the "City of Memory".
