About Dongba Culture Museum
It introduces the wider region through archaeological objects, religious material and Naxi Dongba manuscripts. The collection ranges from ancient metalwork to painted ritual images, helping explain cultural connections that also appear in Lijiang’s temples and villages. Pair the indoor displays with the park’s relocated historic buildings, while checking which galleries and collection pieces are actually on view during your visit.
What to look for
- Dongba manuscripts and religious objects introduce Naxi written and ritual traditions.
- Archaeological displays place Lijiang’s metalwork and other excavated objects in regional context.
