Exploring Sanjiangyuan Yushu, start with the museum
Sanjiangyuan—Yushu
Due to the high altitude and proximity to the sky, the weather is changeable, and everywhere is a scenic spot; due to the rich landforms and species, it has created a diverse ecosystem, and everywhere is a nature reserve.
To understand Yushu, start with the Yushu Prefecture Museum, from the preface hall to the natural exhibition area, and then to the cultural exhibition area, to fully understand the source of life, the paradise of wild animals, the harmonious land, and the colorful cultural charm.
Travel Tips:
1. The altitude of Yushu Prefecture is about 3600 meters. Do not engage in strenuous exercise when you first arrive to avoid altitude sickness.
2. Open daily from 10:30 to 16:00, closed on Mondays, free of charge and no reservation required.
3. Yushu Prefecture Museum is located next to Gesar King Square and is one of the top ten iconic buildings rebuilt after the Yushu earthquake. It is divided into four parts: the preface hall, the natural exhibition area, the cultural exhibition area, and the temporary exhibition hall.

Natural Museum More Popular than Historical Ones (Yushu)
One of the iconic buildings rebuilt after the disaster, it is not small in size, but the preciousness of the exhibits, hardware facilities, and exhibition levels are quite average. Most of the displays are in the form of pictures and texts. The opening hours are from Tuesday to Sunday, 10:30 to 16:30. The reason for the late opening and early closing is officially explained: because we don't rest at noon .
The first floor focuses on natural ecology, divided into the Sanjiangyuan Natural Ecology Exhibition and the Hoh Xil Exhibition Center, which centrally display the landforms, protection status, and rare flora and fauna of this area. The typical plant and animal specimens of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and large-scale landform models are very worth seeing. There is also a large screen that continuously plays documentaries about the Hoh Xil area, which is very helpful for understanding the ecological situation of the region.
The temporary exhibition hall currently exhibits rock paintings, um 😓, all pictures.
The second floor focuses on humanities, divided into the History Hall, Folk Customs Hall, and Religious Art and Culture Hall. The History Hall mainly features murals and text introductions, mainly describing the life stories of major historical figures in the Yushu area. The Folk Customs and Religious Halls have some artifacts with local characteristics, which are still worth seeing.
The entire visit takes about two hours, so don't have too high expectations .
