Our new Tibetan family | Nomadic Life in Western China (含中文字幕)
Рет қаралды 23,005
2 жыл бұрынWe traveled to the AMAZING area of Gansu in Western China. We went to the town of Langmusi which borders both Gansu and Sichuan provinces to explore the beautiful scenery, see what like is like for an Amdo Tibetan family, and experience nomadic life for ourselves.
We were joined by our friend @thecubbages who is super knowledgeable about this area. He also runs adventure travel tours here that focus on ethical and community-based tourism.

i have to say that ben has said a vital thing about their life, they are actually not living poverty or hard life, they just want to heritage this lifestyle or get used to it happily. but western media always blablabla China about everything but not knowing the fact, we know what we want and what we like, not a concern from western countries!

This is why your channel is so underrated. You gave us an amazing and breathtaking insight in this rural and yet beautiful nomadic life. I really love Tibetan food and tried a lot, though yak butter and milk are not available here. Honestly I was surprised you immediately enjoyed yak milk since most people are first not used to real fresh milk and for sure the very fatty yak milk is often difficult to take for foreigners. The landscape is utterly a wonder and I am glad you decided to live with this kind family together for some days instead of just being 4 hours there. Thank you for this vlog, regards from Germany.

In any aspect, this film is definitely like a Discovery/National geography production. Execellent filming, editing, and of course hosting. Also I like your unbiased, objective comments on these nomadic people's lifestyle in the end. Whether these people choose to keep or stop the simple lifestyle should both be respected. Looking forward the coming videos. BTW, I can't believe you did not experience high altitude sickness.
