Abstract: Who are producing space, portraying landscape? And for whom? From the perspective of anthropology and new cultural geography, this paper investigates the crises, ruins, memory and reconstruction of cultural landscapes of Tibetan villages in Nalang in the northeastern Tibet Plateau in China. It finds out the appeal to cultural identity construction and power shifting to lower levels is concealed under the veil of landscapes. Collective memory plays an important role in the reconstruction of cultural space and memory selecting is a dynamic process which creates meanings for the present. The reconstruction of cultural space is more than the renovation and repair of visible geometric figures. More importantly, it means the renovation of local sense of belonging, values, order and power, as well as the space of local organizations, in which symbolic resources are invisible systems of meanings. From the perspective of cultural anthropology, those who master the past control the future and those who own landscapes have a stage to deliver discourse.
