About Dongba Gods Garden
Its central Spirit Road relief points towards Shanzidou, the main summit of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, while wooden figures stand in groups on either side. The pictographic wall and Naxi folk courtyard provide other ways to read the culture beyond the sculptures. Activities such as papermaking vary by programme; the fixed sculptures and reliefs give the visit a clear focus throughout the year.
What to look for
- The central Spirit Road relief forms an axis towards the mountain.
- Wooden deity figures, the pictographic wall and Naxi folk courtyard give the stories distinct physical forms.
