Huangnan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture

Reading Huangnan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture

Qinghai Kanbula Scenic Area offers a specific route into the geography and lived experience of Huangnan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture.

• Recognise the setting in which culture actually occurs — Observe how sandstone bedding, erosion patterns, changes in the tree line, reservoir level, and the scale of the valley containing religious sites respond to the local setting.
• Participate only where the setting clearly allows it — Participate through the formal route and interpretation without entering closed areas.
• Separate residents’ lives, ritual and performance — lower voices near villages and religious spaces, ask before photographing people, and never use ritual or devotional objects as props
