🏔️ Immerse in Tibetan Slow Life at 勒通古镇 (Letong Ancient Town), Litang

🏔️ Discovering the Soul of Litang — 勒通古镇 & 康巴博物馆 Stepping into 勒通古镇 (Litong Ancient Town) felt like walking through a portal in time — where ancient Tibetan architecture and a deep spiritual rhythm still echo through every alley. 🌬️ Located in the “City in the Sky,” this atmospheric old town in Sichuan’s Ganzi region is made up of over 4,000 traditional Tibetan homes across 13 settlements — the largest preserved cluster of its kind. 💡 “勒通” comes from the Tibetan words “铜镜草原,” meaning a plateau as smooth and reflective as a bronze mirror — and true to its name, the landscape was breathtakingly serene. Though commercial elements have crept in, the soul of the town remains untouched. Red-and-grey houses line the winding roads, and locals still live here, carrying on ancient traditions. 🛖 From the scent of yak butter in the air to the melodic tones of daily life, everything felt warmly authentic. 🎭 I also visited the 康巴博物馆 (Kangbar Museum) — a hidden gem that showcases Litang’s rich Tibetan culture, artistry, and history. From handwoven garments and silver crafts to historical exhibits, it’s an immersive and respectful look into the roots of the Kham Tibetan people. 📆 Open all year round from 08:30–18:00. Set aside 3–4 hours to slowly soak in this serene lifestyle. #summervacay #勒通古镇 #藏地文化 #藏族风情 #慢生活 #川西旅行 #康巴文化 #康巴博物馆 #西藏风 #藏式建筑 #buttertea #litangvibes #tibetanlife
