The Tibetan rugs are a traditional hand-woven product of Tibetan people in Qinghai, and after more than 3,000 years of inheritance, Gaya Tibetan rugs were included in the list of representative items of national intangible cultural heritage in 2006.

Located in Qinghai province, the county is a place where Tibetans, Hui, and other Chinese ethnic groups live together, and the intermingling of these groups has given rise to many fine art forms, including Tibetan rugs.
