The Qinghai Tibetan Culture Museum - An ultimate visual feast of Tibetan culture

👏👏Where can you get a comprehensive understanding of Tibetan culture? It must be the Qinghai Tibetan Culture Museum🏚🏚. It covers all aspects of Tibetan culture, and being there is truly a visual feast of Tibetan culture. The museum is located in the downtown area of Xining. If you are traveling to Xining🚕🚕, you definitely shouldn't miss it. The museum is divided into the South Hall and the North Hall. The South Hall is the Tibetan Culture Museum, and the North Hall is the Tibetan Medicine Museum, but let's focus mainly on the South Hall. How to visit🚗🚗 The museum has five floors, with the exhibitions mainly concentrated on the second, third, and fourth floors. The most famous is the 618-meter-long Thangka on the fourth floor, which was created by more than 400 painters over four years. It covers the origins of Tibetan culture, history, Tibetan medicine, Tibetan Buddhism, and more. The entire floor is dedicated to this Thangka, which is quite spectacular. On the second and third floors, there are mainly displays of Tibetan historical culture, Tibetan costumes, and Tibetan architecture. What impressed me the most were the Tibetan costumes, with mannequins wearing different regional Tibetan costumes from the Wei, Amdo, and Kham areas, as well as different sects of Tibetan Buddhism, which are particularly exquisite. Tickets💵💵 The ticket for the South Hall is 60 yuan, and the opening hours are from 9:00 to 17:00. I think it is worth the price to go and see. Other📕📕 Inside the exhibition hall, there is an electronic guide rental for 25 yuan each time, and there is also a Thangka painting experience. The nearest place to the exhibition hall is the Chengbei Wanda where you can go for a meal after visiting. Overall, a visit should take about three hours. In summary, the Tibetan Culture Museum is a very worthwhile place to visit. Once you go there, you will feel the profoundness of Tibetan culture. Highly recommended.
