Home visit to a Tibetan family

2025-03-27

  Visiting a Tibetan family is a project with strong ethnic characteristics. Upon entering a Tibetan home, the elderly offer a hada (a white silk scarf) at the door, while a Zhuoma (Tibetan woman) offers a cup of Qingke wine. Guests are then led to the main hall, where after settling in, they are served steaming butter tea, roasted barley flour, and various fried foods. Qingke wine is freely available. The hosts may offer songs, dances, and hadas. The young Tibetan men perform powerful dances with strong singing voices, while the young women's dances are graceful and their singing is clear and high-pitched. In Shangri-La, Tibetan song and dance is diverse, with representative forms including the Jiantang town Guozhuang dance, the Nixi love dance, the Tacheng Reba dance, the Deqin Xianzi dance, the Yak dance, and many others. These are all traditional performances in Tibetan home visits in Diqing Shangri-La. Tourists can also improvise and participate in interactive performances with local Tibetan families during their home visits.

A Proposal for Civilized Tourism

Walk softly and yield to others. Please observe order when queuing in scenic areas, do not push or make noise; please take light steps and lower your voice in museums and memorial halls, respecting the visiting experience of others. When taking photos, do not climb on cultural relics or trample on flowers and plants, leaving a complete and beautiful scene for those who come later.
