Pictures taken at the Ancient Tea-Horse Road Ethnography Museum on July 14 showcase more than 2,000 horse reins and Tibetan folk items used by local merchants in the days gone by.

Lying in the Heping village of Xiaozhongdian Town, Shangri-La City, the ethic items are collected by two Tibetan brothers and a girl named Jangchu Chunping, whose forefathers went to and fro between Dali's Jianchuan County and Lahsa in Tibet.

Now the museum is a window to demonstrate Tibetan tradition, and it is also expected to bring more income by attracting more tourists who are interested in stories related to the Ancient Tea-Horse Road.
