In Burang County, Ngari prefecture, Tibet, there are a total of 12 varieties of colorful costumes with different styles for men and women, in which the “XUAN” costume is the most distinctive. As the “XUAN” costume is closely related with a Tibetan opera character, who wears the costume, the costume is called as “costume for flying to heaven” or “peacock costume”.
In Burang, there are only seven sets of peacock costumes passed down from generation to generation. The costume is decorated with various precious jewels; it is so attractive that one cannot look away once they see it.
In order to better protect and inherit this splendid national culture, in 2008, the “XUAN” costume was included in the state-level intangible cultural heritage list.
