Source:xzxw.com 2025-05-22




In Togde Valley, northern suburbs of Lhasa City, China’s Xizang, stand three distinctive museums. The Numismatic Museum displays ancient currencies, reflecting the plateau's commercial and trading civilization. The Tsatsa Cultural Exhibition Hall preserves over 19,500 miniature clay Buddha figurines. The Snow Mountain Theme Museum documents humanity's heroic endeavors in conquering Mount Qomolangma through climbing equipment and archival footage. Here, ancient currencies, clay art, and mountaineering trails intertwine, crafting a multidimensional cipher to decipher the civilization of Xizang.
