Ancient Road Tibetan House

A bunch of scammers. The enthusiastic tour guide's explanation is just a prelude to selling Tibetan medicine later. Don't be fooled. It's strange that no one from the local government is in charge of it.

I was in very good health, but the so-called Tibetan doctor said I was sick all over. My husband was also in good health, but the Tibetan doctor said there were problems with his prostate, kidneys, and liver.

This means that our entire family needs to take medicine, and each person needs to take medicine worth thousands of dollars to solve the problem.

I think the situation of selling fake medicine is more serious and worse than selling fake jade and fake silver bracelets.

Even healthy people will get sick after taking their medicine.

There is a museum in Shuhe Ancient Town that you can visit. Most of the items are Tibetan folk artifacts and jewelry, as well as specialty stores. A quick look is enough!

It's a complete scam. They start by introducing Tibetan culture, then start to tout Tibetan medicine to build your trust, and then the "climax" comes. They ask Tibetan doctors to do a free palm reading, and the only trick they use is asking about your age and where you're from, and then asking how you feel about your body.



Asking where you're from is primarily a way to gauge your financial situation. When you say you're in excellent health, he'll ask if your urine is yellow, which is normal for everyone. He'll then say your kidneys need some care. After twice asking for specific reasons, he'll immediately change the subject or chat with someone else.

The main building is a Diaofang, the most representative Tibetan dwelling. This type of Diaofang is constructed of stone and wood, with a dignified and stable appearance and a simple and rugged style. The outer walls taper upward, while the inner slope remains vertical. The Diaofang consists of two floors, forming a typical Tibetan courtyard.

Haha, the scenery is okay. After listening to the tour guide's talk about Tibetan medicine, I left after he asked the couple to come into the room to see the Tibetan doctor. I was afraid that they would tell me that I was sick and trick me into paying for medicine.

Gudao Zangjia is essentially a shopping mall. To the right of the entrance is a small museum displaying numerous Tibetan thangka paintings. In the center of the courtyard is the shopping mall, selling Tibetan specialties. This courtyard is located within the ancient town and is free of charge.

We passed by at night and took a photo. It felt similar to a temple. Later, when it opened during the day, we went in and the exit was more commercial.

Just look around the yard, and don't be lured upstairs. Fake medicine is sold upstairs, fake medicine is sold upstairs, fake medicine is sold upstairs. Please say it three times if it's important!

It's still worth a visit to learn about the local culture.

It has Tibetan characteristics. There is such a Tibetan attraction in Shuhe Ancient Town. It is great.

After listening to Zhuoma's explanation, I learned that the Shuhe Ancient Road Tibetan Museum was a caravan station on the "Southern Silk Road". The cultural relics in the museum are even more dazzling, and the architecture is also unique and has a Tibetan flavor. The white pagoda, prayer wheels, thangkas and other Tibetan cultural relics all show Tibetan culture. I hope that Tibetan culture can be further developed.

It started out very heartwarming. Scan the WeChat QR code to follow the group and get a free guided tour. The first floor offered a brief overview of the Naxi people's origins and the development of the ancient road, which took about 15 minutes. Then, the second floor was more interesting. There was a brief explanation of Tibetan deities, followed by a 15-minute lecture on Tibetan medicine. Then, the excitement escalated. Each family received a free hand reading from a Tibetan doctor. My wife and I were there. She had irregular periods and a cold uterus, while I had liver problems and neck and shoulder issues. Tibetan medicine is amazing, so I won't comment on it. Some of the predictions are quite accurate, but it doesn't rule out the possibility of fortune-telling. Then they recommended Tibetan medicine. At first, I thought I'd consider it if it was good. I heard it was a formula guaranteed to cure her in a month or two. They repeatedly asked me why I wouldn't spend money on your wife's treatment and well-being. What were my concerns? Tibetan medicine is also about fate. I had just returned from Kunming this morning and wasn't supposed to come today, but I figured I'd have some free time and came across you. At this point, I felt it was a setup, so I firmly said I'd consider it before buying and hurried out. I checked and found a lot of complaints online. You can check it out.

Before you enter, you have to scan the QR code and follow their WeChat. There is nothing interesting to see inside, and no history to learn about. The exit is deliberately set up in their own shopping mall, and there are things sold inside. It feels like they are just asking you to enter this attraction to buy things, which has no value.

I didn't make it to Shangri-La so I stopped by to take a look at the Tibetan style. There was nothing special about it.

The ancient road here feels like traveling through ancient time and space.

There is a prayer wheel next to it, a very primitive attraction. Unfortunately, the tour guide was careless when introducing it and I can't remember it clearly.

Perhaps you've never been to Tibet, but you truly desire to experience Tibetan life in Yunnan. We think that's perfectly acceptable and possible. However, as someone who has been to Yunnan and Tibet, I strongly disagree. I've always believed that experience is a form of enjoyment, a respect for life itself. We shouldn't ignore or misunderstand our original understanding of the ancient Tibetan path just to satisfy our own temporary needs. While visiting the Tibetans on the ancient trails is fine, I recommend visiting the homes of herders in relatively untouched areas. Commercialized culture always feels eerie.

I remember it was called Kangba Tibetan Area. There was a large grassland, very vast. Not far away was the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, which was quite spectacular. You could ride a horse on the grassland, but they would just hold the reins and take you for a stroll.

My bestie and I were strolling around the ancient city and came across this Tibetan Cultural Museum. We thought it was a unique place and it was okay. The guide gave us a brief introduction to the Tibetan culture. However, we were asked to have our palms scanned to see if we could cure an illness. I didn't agree with that, but it was okay after all. It was a voluntary trip to learn about Tibetan culture.

At the end of 2003, Zeren Nongbu (Ma Yuezhong), leveraging the "cultural aircraft carrier" of Lijiang's tourism industry and with support from the Shangri-La and Lijiang governments, renovated and rebuilt the Ancient Road Tibetan House. The site covers an area of 7 mu (approximately 1.6 acres) and was financed with a total investment of 30 million yuan, 5 million of which was a bank loan. The main structure utilizes the Diaofang (a traditional Tibetan dwelling), a representative form of Tibetan dwelling. This structure, constructed of stone and wood, boasts a dignified and stable appearance and a simple and rugged style. The exterior walls taper upward, while the interior slopes vertically. The two-story building forms a typical Tibetan courtyard. The north wing is two stories high, while the ground floor houses a Tea Horse Road and Tibetan culture exhibition hall. This hall showcases the history of the Tea Horse Road, recreating the hardships and tenacity of the horse drivers along the route. It also showcases Tibetan folk customs and culture. The second floor has the same display function as the second floor of the north house. One is to display the "Buddha Hall" and "Tibetan Buddhism" culture; the other is to display the magical Tibetan medicine and Tibetan medical culture.

If you just want to take some photos, you can go in, then find the exit to leave. Respect other people's customs and don't go back. But don't listen to any so-called explanations. They say they will let you understand Tibetan culture, but the real purpose is to get you to buy their so-called Tibetan medicine. They talked about the ancient Tea Horse Road, sky burials, and then brought up Tibetan medicine. I don't know about the other things, but when they talked about sky burials, I didn't think they were real Tibetans. It was an insult to the name "Zaxi". They said that sky burials were vultures taking people's souls to heaven. They didn't do their homework and came out to cheat. Finally, they took people into a room to look at your palms. I didn't look at them. Many tourists responded that they said you have a lot of diseases and asked you to buy overpriced medicine because there is a pharmacy at the exit downstairs. So everyone, be careful~

Don't ever go there. The drug dealers will glance at your hands and face and tell you what's wrong with you! I was scammed out of 2,000 yuan. The man said it was kidney problems, and the woman said it was a uterine problem. Anyway, there were four of us going in, and they just screwed me. We went in two by two. My female classmate first asked if we were in a relationship (if we were, they'd ask if we had children. We were a young couple with children before, so he didn't say anything). We said no, and then they asked how old we were, and then they just shook their heads and said, "What a shame!" My female classmate said it was a uterine problem and that I had to take some effervescent tablets. We didn't understand! The bastard (his name was Sangdan, I found out later when I paid for the medicine!) got angry and said, "Don't understand," and let her go. My classmate came out and asked if I wanted to see it. Then he looked at my palm for a few seconds and said my kidneys were bad and I would be infertile! Damn, I was scared at the time and said, "What can I do?" He then prescribed me some medicine for 2,000 yuan (because I had said I was new to the job, and he had cheated me out of 2,000 yuan). After I got out, I asked my friend about the same situation, but he didn't buy any medicine! I knew I'd been ripped off and wanted to confront them, but then I thought, forget it. This is a tourist attraction after all, and we're here to have fun, so why not? The buying and selling were all voluntary. I was so screwed that I felt like I was possessed! (I had just had a physical two months before, and there was nothing serious!) You know your own body, and don't trust these so-called doctors, especially in tourist areas. I got ripped off, and there's nowhere to go to seek justice. I blame myself for being too young and stupid.

It is very spectacular and original, with a strong collector's flavor. There is a small museum inside.

When I went there, it was still under construction and not open to the public. I don’t know how it is now. At that time, I saw the outside and felt that it would be better to go to Shangri-La or Tibet to experience the Tibetan culture and beauty.

It looked quite novel from a distance, but when I got closer I realized it was probably a store selling medicine.

Tibetan Buddhism is very popular in Lijiang. Lijiang not only believes in its own Dongba religion, but also Tibetan Buddhism. Gudao Zangjia is a place with a strong Tibetan Buddhist culture. If you are interested in Tibetan Buddhism, you can go and see it.

The Ancient Road Tibetan House is located in Shuhe Ancient Town. It is not a classic, but you can take a look if you go to Shuhe. There are prayer wheels inside.

Since we were traveling independently, we followed the tour guide all the way. We were afraid of being discovered so we didn't dare to get too close. We couldn't hear what he said clearly... Just be sure to pay attention to Tibetan etiquette.

Gudao Tibetan House is a place dedicated to promoting Tibetan culture. Please be careful not to buy any medicines.

It mainly displays the historical footprints of the ancient Tea-Horse Road, and shows the ancient Tibetan folk customs and other Tibetan cultural customs.

A small courtyard with some Tibetan historical relics on display, all open to the public free of charge. There is a small prayer flag on the right side of the door.

The Ancient Tibetan Road is located in Shuhe Ancient Town, Lijiang. We didn't know about this attraction before we went there, but we happened to walk by and went in. We were given a free guide to introduce Tibetan culture and learn about its breadth and depth. I was very moved. The most fortunate thing was that I had a physical examination by a Tibetan doctor. Although it was just a simple examination of my palm lines, he was able to describe my current health situation accurately, which made me feel even more deeply the charm of Tibetan culture.

A great place for taking photos~ There is a white tower, a rotating clock, and antique houses~

You can get a very detailed and intuitive understanding of Tibetan culture. The exhibitions are particularly beautiful, and walking through them feels like you've accidentally stepped into Tibet. There are also many rules, for example, if you enter through the main gate, you must exit through the back door, a custom of the Tibetan people. There's a lecture for every ten or so people inside, covering everything from religion to medicine. I was a little hesitant to go in for a physical examination by a Tibetan doctor, though. It's a bit of an educational experience, but worth a look.

The Ancient Road Tibetan House is a scenic spot on the Lijiang Tea-Horse Ancient Road. You can take photos on the first floor, but not on the second floor. It mainly promotes the profound culture of Tibetan medicine and then sells you precious Tibetan medicines. Because they are famous plateau medicines, the prices are surprisingly expensive.

Since I haven't been to Shangri-La, I don't know much about the Tibetans. But I do know that they are a fascinating people. Not only are they fully Buddhist, they also have their own leaders, living Buddhas. Every building in the ancient Tibetan community has its own meaning. As a Han Chinese, I'd love to learn more, so if I have the chance, I'd love to visit Tibetan settlements to experience their culture.

My grandfather used to release bees and go to Tibet. He said the people there were very simple and honest and would give him gifts. Although tourism development and business models have now penetrated into the local area, he still hopes to have the opportunity to understand their customs and habits.

At first I always thought that the four words were the Tibetan Ancient Road. The place is not big, and it is a place to simply promote Tibetan culture. It is quite conscientious that no tickets are required.

2012.07

In Shuhe, I visited the "Ancient Road Zangjia".

Once you go in, you can’t go back.

This was my first time understanding Tibetan culture, and it was somewhat different from ours.

We were led by a woman named Zhuoma, who taught us a lot about Tibetan culture. When we entered, we were asked to put our hands together, then nod our thumbs to our heads, representing the sky. Then, we nod our eyebrows to the earth. Finally, we nod our chests, representing the Buddha in our hearts. Then, we bowed.

All Tibetans have faith, and every household worships Sakyamuni, whom we call Tathagata Buddha, at home.

Just stroll around the yard, it's best not to let people read your fortune or buy medicine easily

At the end of the walk, there is a small courtyard that promotes the Zang culture. Two people who wanted to go to Shangri-La were very excited. Although it was all imitation, they still had a great time and did not need tickets.

If you go to Shuhe, you can definitely see it. It is not particularly big and is still under construction.

The environment is good, or there are some personal interests involved in tourism that are cheated...

Don't go there again. The so-called high monk is a complete scam. The real thing is selling Tibetan medicine. I doubt the authenticity of Tibetan medicine.

I saw many people saying that there are many drugs inside to cheat people, so I just walked around inside the door. But as a person who likes Tibetan culture, I still like it very much.

Entering the building, you'll see two rows of Tibetan prayer wheels, which are quite impressive. The courtyard has a very Tibetan feel, but you can't go up to the second floor. The staff there are a bit aggressive. A few guests didn't pay attention to the warning signs and were about to go up, so they were stopped loudly...

The Ancient Road Tibetan House is an exhibition hall with a white pagoda at the entrance. It is a good place to take pictures. It is free and has two floors. It mainly exhibits some things related to Tibetan Buddhism.

First of all, if you have visited Lijiang Ancient Town, there is no need to come to Shuhe, because they are all selling things anyway. Secondly, this ancient road collector is a drug scammer, who speaks very seriously and tricks you into buying drugs. He has no morals or conscience.

It's best not to go in, it's not interesting. If you have to go in, just look around in the courtyard, don't go upstairs! Upstairs is a Tibetan doctor/selling Tibetan medicine.

The Ancient Road Tibetan House was built by a Tibetan monk a hundred years ago. Its primary function was to serve as a tea-horse post, and little of its ancient charm remains. The courtyard is flanked by small exhibition halls and a two-story wooden building. The first floor is closed to the public, and the second floor is generally off-limits to visitors unless you're seeking Tibetan medicine. So, it's best to wander around the courtyard.

:The Ancient Road Collection mainly displays the historical footprints of the ancient Tea-Horse Road, and shows the ancient Tibetan folk customs, folk customs and other Tibetan cultural customs.

It’s okay, but if you want to experience the atmosphere of a Tibetan family, you still have to go to the Sichuan-Tibet area, right?

A similar attraction to a Tibetan family visit in Shuhe, where you can watch performances, eat and drink, and there will be sales promotion at the end.

The Tibetan medicine treatments here are really a rip-off. I went twice. The first time, they said I had a blood deficiency or something and prescribed several thousand yuan worth of medicine. I went to another doctor's room. I explained that I was a student with no income, and he said I was healthy and had no illnesses.

It is worth a visit. You can learn about Tibetan culture without going to Tibet. After visiting here, you can also go to Shuhe Bar Street for a stroll, which has its own unique flavor!

I wanted to go in and take a look, but most of the places were under renovation. The White Pagoda was quite impressive. I hope there will be better things to see and browse!

While visiting Shuhe Ancient Town, I saw a white tower, but it was still under construction, which reminded me of Shangri-La. When I got closer, I found that it was indeed a place to promote Tibetan culture. It is understood that it has been receiving friends from all over the world. After ten years of ups and downs, it has "faded" a little. In order to better display the profound culture of the Tibetan people, it is currently being rebuilt and renovated. I stopped and followed their staff into the museum for a tour. Instantly, the idea of going to Tibet came to my mind. After walking out of the ancient Tibetan road, my heart still stayed there, and its mystery still lingered with me.

I have been here but I don't understand it. People who like to collect calligraphy and painting can come and visit. It is usually free.

The ancient Tibetan house really has the flavor of Tibetans, which feels great! The furnishings inside are all the same as those of Tibetans, and the Tibetan culture is quite rich!

The Zang family on the ancient road, after entering it is a big house.....No tickets are required, very few people...

When I went there, it was under renovation, a bit messy, the ghee inside smelled good,

Don't go there. The people selling medicine there are all scammers. They pretend to give you a free diagnosis and then ask you to buy medicine. The minimum price is several thousand yuan. I bought more than four thousand yuan worth of medicine and threw it all away after I got home.

When we went there, we got free tickets to learn about the Tibetan culture. It is really profound and I believe everyone will like it.

In fact, it is the exhibition hall of the Ancient Tea Horse Road. Friends who have time can go there. If you are short of time, it doesn’t matter whether you go or not.

There is a row of prayer wheels when you enter, showing the Tibetan style. There are also a few dogs, which are very well behaved. There were not too many people when I went there, and it was very comfortable.

The Tibetan men dancing are so pretty >///<嘤嘤嘤~ They're so manly, hahaha~ But I'm really not used to eating that barley.

This attraction is free of charge and restores the appearance of a real Tibetan home. It contains Mani piles, prayer flags, prayer wheels and standard Tibetan houses. It is worth a visit.

I've been there and I think it's a man-made tourist attraction. However, it's okay since it's free. It's better than those home visits that charge exorbitant prices!

I almost got scammed here. Many people who were traveling with me bought Tibetan medicine and then followed the Yunnan people who were traveling with me and said it was a scam. I went to return it. Later, the people here specifically called our tour bus to threaten us. It was scary.

Here, you can learn about the ancient Tibetan culture and feel the magic of Tibetan culture, with prayer wheels turning in your hands and prayer flags fluttering in the wind, feeling pious.

Ancient Road Tibetans was founded in 2003 in Shuhe Ancient Town, Lijiang Old Town. It is currently the largest and most well-known Tibetan culture promotion center in Lijiang with the Yunnan-Tibet Tea Horse Road as its background. The exhibition content covers Tibetan folk culture.

There are introductions to Tibetan medicine in the Tibetan tourism building, and Tibetan doctors are providing consultations there.

It feels like a commercial organization that sells Tibetan medicine in Shuhe Ancient Town, but it is made to feel very mysterious. There is also a portrait of the Panchen Lama inside, and many people go to kneel down and worship.

The thick pillars show wealth, the reception area and food containers inside make us feel the uniqueness of the nation, and the Buddha enshrined on the second floor shows what a pious nation!

When Meimei first entered, she felt like she was walking into Tibet. She turned the prayer wheel and felt very sacred inside.

When we entered, some places were closed for construction, such as the restroom. For those who have been to Tibetan homes, you won't find the Tibetan feeling here...

No tickets are required, you can visit for free. It is like a museum of the Zang family, and you can see the characteristics of the Zang family here.
