👏👏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.

The Qinghai Tibetan Culture Museum, located in Xining, is the largest Tibetan culture museum in China. Tickets are 60, it might be cheaper to buy on Gaode, the 618 meters on the fourth floor is famous nationwide, it's really stunning. The ethnic costumes on the second floor are also very beautiful, you can see that there are subtle differences in the costumes of each place. The neighboring Tibetan Medicine Culture Museum, which does not charge admission, just make a reservation at the door, there are three floors in total, if you have time, you can take your time to visit, especially the health preservation part, from embryo to death, you can understand the attention to physical health among different ethnic groups, it's very interesting.

The Qinghai Tibetan Culture Museum is the only comprehensive museum in the world that collects, protects, displays and studies Tibetan culture. It is divided into two museums, the south museum is themed on Tibetan culture, and the north museum is themed on Tibetan medicine. The second floor of the South Museum has Tibetan costume hall, Tibetan card cushion hall, Tibetan architectural art hall and Tibetan calligraphy art hall, the third floor is the Silk Road and Qinghai-Tibet Plateau civilization hall, the fourth floor has a painted grand view hall. The painted grand view hall displays the longest Thangka in the world that has won the "Guinness World Record" - the grand view of Chinese Tibetan cultural art painting, which is 618 meters long and 2.3 meters wide. This Thangka was meticulously painted by more than 400 top craftsmen in Tibet over a period of 4 years, using pure natural minerals such as gold, silver, coral, pearl, gemstones and plant pigments such as saffron, madder, rhubarb, etc. The colors of the painting are bright and never fade. This scroll takes the history of the Tibetan people and the origins of the various sects of Tibetan Buddhism as its main line, showing Tibetan Buddhism's understanding of the formation of the universe and the earth, the emergence of human beings and social changes, and its understanding of the future world. The North Museum has a Tibetan medical history exhibition hall, a Mandala and surgical instrument exhibition hall, an ancient literature exhibition hall, and a Tibetan medicine specimen exhibition hall. In the Tibetan medical history exhibition hall, you can understand the world view, mind and body view, health preservation view of Tibetan medicine, the types and effects of Tibetan wine and tea, various methods of physical exercise and mind cultivation, unique therapies such as bloodletting, moxibustion, cupping, Homa, fire moxibustion, etc., the Buddhist view of life and death, the funeral culture of the Tibetan people, astronomical calculations, etc. In the North Museum, you can also appreciate a special and vivid teaching tool that appeared in the history of Tibetan medicine development - Mandala. "Man" means "medicine" or "drug", and "Tang" is the abbreviation of "Thangka" unique to Tibetan culture. Mandala makes the profound content of Tibetan medicine more concrete and vivid, which is a miracle in the history of medicine. The North Museum also displays the largest handwritten copy of the "Four Medical Classics" in the world. The "Four Medical Classics" (AD 773~783) is a classic in the treasure trove of Tibetan medicine, and its advent marks the formation of the Tibetan medical system. The museum has too much content to display, and half a day's time is very tight. It is opposite the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau Natural Museum. If you have a whole day, you can see the two museums together, and experience the Tibetan meal at the Tibetan Culture Museum at noon, it would be perfect.

It's a good place to educate people who love Tibetan Cultures like me. Take a taxi to go there and you pay 60 Yuan for the admission fee and have a magical day
