Mosuo hand-woven shawls are made of pure cotton thread and are handmade by local people. They are very memorable and practical, with different styles and colors. When making shawls, they have an exotic atmosphere, and when the tablecloth is used, they give you another warm feeling at home.
oilpaper umbrella
Because "online celebrity Street" is famous, oil-paper umbrellas hang all over the alleys, creating a dream for travelers. However, these oil-paper umbrellas are not ordinary at all. They are derivatives of Dongba culture. Dongba characters are painted under the umbrellas with special pigments, and the oil-paper umbrellas are still bright no matter the wind and the sun. With an oil-paper umbrella, you can understand Dongba hieroglyphics, which is the most meaningful.
tabor
The tambourine has become another feature of Old Town of Lijiang. A song "A Moment" accompanied by the rhythm of tambourine swept the streets of the ancient city. If you like music, you can buy a tambourine and take it home. It's also fun to beat the tambourine with the rhythm of music in a warm sunny afternoon.
woodcarving

Dongba camel bell
Next to the big waterwheel in Old Town of Lijiang, a 20-meter-long corridor is densely covered with Dongba wishing wind chimes. The thin wooden sign is the wish written by tourists themselves, and no one knows the hidden story behind the wind chimes. Dongba wishing wind chime originated from the traditional Dongba culture of Naxi nationality. It is said that this wind chime can bring luck to Dongba people, and as long as they are sincere, they can get their wishes.
Dongba paper
The paper used for copying Dongba Scriptures is thick, wear-resistant, moth-proof, smooth and ivory-colored. It is made of Lijiang Yaohua, a rare alpine plant unique to Naxi region, and is made by dozens of hand-made techniques handed down by Dongba family. Because Yaohua is slightly toxic, Dongba paper has the characteristics of insect resistance, moth resistance and long storage time. There is a saying among Naxi people that Dongba paper has a life of thousands of years.
Dongba tie-dyeing
Dongba tie-dyeing draws lessons from Bai tie-dyeing and Miao batik techniques, adds elements of Dongba culture, and combines Dongba pictographs with folk techniques, which makes Dongba tie-dyeing have unique aesthetic value and decoration. Take away a piece of Dongba tie-dye, which is both beautiful and practical.
Bunongling
It is a unique pendant with the same shape as the horse bell of the caravan. This caravan cultural commodity is designed by the owner himself and made by hand. There is a round block of wood tied under the delicate bronze bell, and all kinds of paintings are hand-painted.
