Public life in Linxia connects Yellow River routes, Hui and other communities, Buddhist grottoes and county markets. Distinguishing heritage sites, active religious space, commerce and everyday life avoids turning diversity into a fixed performance.
- Recognise the setting in which culture actually occurs — First distinguish the World Heritage protection zone, managed landing, active religious space and residential areas. At sculptures, separate original work, conservation traces and modern safety structures.
- Participate only where the setting clearly allows it — Use public activities with a named operator, boat time, organiser and rules. Before entering a temple, mosque or community event, ask about dress, photography and where visitors may remain.
- Separate residents’ lives, ritual and performance — Do not touch sculpture, inscriptions or heritage surfaces, photograph people at prayer, or treat dress, food or ritual as an on-demand performance. Leave room for local circulation on narrow paths and landings.
