The Epic of King Gesar has been passed down orally through singers and storytellers in Xizang and was inscribed on the UNESCO list of world intangible cultural heritage in 2009.

The Yel Bumen Tibetan Opera Troupe is a Tibetan opera troupe formed by shepherds from a village in Southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region.
