Leveraging the Silk Road's Qinghai route, people gradually settled in the challenging high-altitude areas of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, forming various highland kingdoms, large and small.

Different ethnic groups interacted, depended on each other, and blended together harmoniously, coalescing into an interconnected whole, according to the exhibition organizers.
