The Wanli Tea Road, a tea trade route with a long history, originates from the western region of Sichuan in China and extends all the way to the Tibet region. This ancient trade route not only promoted the tea trade but also served as a bridge between different regions for economic and cultural exchanges. The critical node of the Wanli Tea Road, Qixian Zhaoyu Ancient City, is exemplified in this paper. The landscape genes of Qixian Zhaoyu Ancient City are identified and extracted to establish a unique landscape gene lineage in the region. The dilemma faced by Qixian Zhaoyu Ancient City is analyzed from four perspectives: environmental genes, architectural genes, layout genes, and cultural genes. Proposals are made to improve the surrounding environment, strengthening the style of the ancient city, enhancing the quality of the streets and lanes, and perfecting transportation facilities. Furthermore, courtyard management is recommended to be strengthened, and the protection of the original pattern is advocated. Cultural heritage is also suggested to be strengthened, and cultural activities to be organized for protection and inheritance. These strategies aim to provide a path for the protection and rational use of landscape culture in the Wanli Tea Road Qixian Zhaoyu Ancient City section, introducing new ideas and directions.
