In this episode, we headed to Wuxi county in chongqing for the hanging coffins high up in the cliffs. Why would ancient people place coffins there over 2000 thousand years ago? And how they made it given the steep and crumbly terrain. All these are still mysterious now. Let’s explore this journey of learning their intention and methods to do it. And how this hanging coffin reflects pu people’s beliefs towards death.

Nice short documentary giving us a glimpse of how the Pu people lived some 2000 years ago and how they honour their dead.

Thank you so much for capturing such high-quality videos that allowed me to witness the uniqueness of China! When I was in Guizhou, I came across the Coffin Cave, where coffins are stacked and placed inside karst caves, similar to the hanging coffins you featured in your video!

Thank you for this very interesting video! I knew about these coffins in the rocks, but I've never seen them before. Very impressive that the wood lasts so long. By the way, your videos are much better now than at the beginning. Pictures and especially the sound quality are very good now. 👍👍 Where is your little dog?

Woah, this in Chongqing. Interesting, we also have Hanging Coffins in Sagada, Philippines. But they are Mountain tribes just like in Yunnan.

I saw one of these (a hanging coffin, but probably not of the pu people) in my family village in Guilin and it totally freaked me out as a kid

Another absolutely beautiful video about a topic rarely heard outside anthropology classes! What is really special about her stories is not only the captivating images, stunning drone shots, the dramatizing music, but also the narration, both in content and style. Her speaking of the local dialect and her accented English make a compelling case that she's a native from the region. Man, it can't possibly get more real than this 😱When do you get to see anything like this? I am happy that she's trying to capture all these lesser known parts of China and the minority people before it's too late, as she put it. I hope she'll keep doing this sort of videos before the bigwigs in the corporate media come and snatch her 😱

A fascinating glimpse into the Pu people and the mysteries they have left behind through 2000 year old traces of their unique culture.

Thank you for always sharing such deep and interesting stories with us, in such a beautiful way! 🖤 A while ago, being surprised by tombs in Southern Europe not even far away, I thought how fascinating researching cemeteries around the world would be, even just current ones. And this, 2000 years old and still there, is amazing.

Very well done! It's fascinating. I have heard of such interesting burials, but nothing as intriguing as these hanging coffins. I really appreciate the details you give about the type of wood, the different peoples being from a common ancestorial group and of course you are very stunning too with a wonderful voice suited for telling stories and probably singing too.

Greg here doesn't even know what exactly '班门弄斧' means in Chinese, my guess is he just took half-year mandarin courses, and got confident enough to BS around here, reminds me of Justin Bieber got '怂' chest tattoo.
