I had married to a Sherpa girl. It's been 10 years she is from Nepal and had made my life heaven from the day we got married. We have two kids. We saw your video together
interesting. I'm from the Yakthung (Limbu) community, the indigenous group of eastern Nepal, bordering both India and China. here, the drink @ 15:30, we call it Tongba, an essential part of our culture now. Last time I read, we appropriated the drink from fellow Sherpas residing in the neighboring regions.
Miss Yan, China is a country with 56 Ethnics group scattered across a vast country which majority of us will never witness in real life. Your travel shows us the harmonious society China is. Freedom is what you define it is, simple life, no anxiety, a roof over your head, food to eat and water to drink. Tibet is indeed a magical land, the scenery is majestic, the people are friendly. I would suggest after collecting all of these footage of your travel in China, that you will create a series of documentary. I would definitely support you on that project. What else can I say, but keep video document your travel.
Hawaii was also forcefully taken over by the USA by disposing the Hawaiian Queen. There was a program on PBS a few years ago showing some native Hawaiians still don't recognized the US government over their sovereignty. @@GANESH1986UTUBE

Those moments when families invite you into their homes, share their food and drink are so special. We are all lucky to have found your channel Yan. We look forward to an upload every week ☺️
Dr. Norman Béthune. I'm from Montréal, Canada - Norman Béthune lived in my city. I will be in Wuhan in December and I will visit the museum in his honor. I really like your work.
Thank you, Yan, for taking us to the China most of us will never see. I loved how you young people worked so hard to take your little hike. It shows us better than anything the steepness of the climb & how it would be for most of us watching if we were there. Love the gentle Sherpa people!
….The “gentle Sherpa-actually, Tibetan, ppl” have been brutalized by the Chinese during their bloody takeover. Tibetans featured in this vid were most likely too frightened to deny a Chinese film crew entry into their houses…. This is NOT “spontaneous “ content by “a young woman” able to travel for almost 2 yrs straight-with a film crew, professional drones-and no visible means of support (150,000 YT subs = peanuts)….Ethnic Chinese are not allowed to access YT-let alone, post on it (Unless they are sponsored by the CCP-and guaranteed, they must also be “members in good standing” of the CCP to have such privileges)…. Enjoy the content-but beware of the PROPAGANDA (like her earlier vid showing the “HAPPY” Muslims -in a Chinese village in which 1/3 of the males have been dragged away to camps….)
Thank you Yan for this beautiful video. I am from Nepal and you said that Chinese and Nepalese people have good relation. Its very true that we also share cultures to each other. Hope you continue to make these beautiful videos. Much love from Nepal. Nepal 💌China
How come you are Sherpa from India? By the way the Chinese side and Nepali side Sherpas are the same Sherpas divided by border, but from what part of India you are, only possibility is from Sikkim.
@@sidary4762 the reality is they have shifted away from Nepal and china boarder and changed their nationality to indian and such, they will now deny that their roots is from Nepal and china boarders cuz they are indian and butanese now😂 it hurts that seeing our himalayan indegeous people are adressing themselves as other nation people😊
I am really enjoying this vlog. I come from the Sankhuwasabha district of Nepal, specifically from a village called Hungung located near Chentang. I had the chance to visit once before the lockdown when the border was open, and it was a great experience. Unfortunately, I have found it difficult to find recent updates on the area online, so I am grateful to see your vlog. My community, the Bhote people, share many cultural similarities with the people of Chentang, and we have had a close relationship with them for many years. Our elders have even shared stories of people from Chentang visiting our villages in the past. We consider people from that region of China to be like our own relatives. I hope the border will open soon. Sending lots of love from Bhotkhola RM, Nepal.🤍🤍
We Nepal 🇳🇵🇳🇵 andZhongguo🇨🇳🇨🇳share a lot commonalities .Thanks I am on the other side of Mt Everst....I am teacher working as teacher in District is Mount Everest.We have more sherpa ethnic people ,than tibet ❤❤❤❤❤
in fact,they moved to china from nepal 100 years ago without documents until10 years ago the chinese government decide to give them chinese citesenship now the chinese Government give them the free house and money every month we call it "boarder benefits"
Thanks for the great video.. even i didnt know there were sherpas still living in china. But i love when people around the world appreciates sherpa peoples hard work, humbleness, and simplicity . I have spend my childhood herding yaks and chauri up in the Himalayas in Nepal. Even sherpa people dont get that much of a respect from Government in Nepal but people around the world knows about us very well. If i said Nepal a lot of people wont recognize but if i say sherpa they recognize instantly.
So enjoy seeing the simple life style of these very friendly and smiling Sherpa people. And the beautiful green mountains are so especial. The fresh clean air in these parts of the world must be so healthy for the people. So glad that you and friends get to visit them before any modernization will happen! Thank you for sharing🙏❤️🌻
I'm always fascinated by mountain peoples, especially Sherpa. They're rugged and resilient and their ability to thrive in such a harsh and demanding environment is quite extraordinary.
It's so heart-warming to see people welcoming you to their homes just for the pleasure of human company. It seems that though life is obviously hard, they feel less anxiety or fear. They seem to be at peace.
Your videos are always engaging and so very interesting. The countryside is absolutely beautiful and really enjoyed your drone shots. Thanks Yan for introducing me to this part of China. ❤
It made me so happy when your friend mentioned Norman Bethune! There is a statue of him at the university where I completed my undergraduate degree in his hometown of Montreal, Canada. I am so happy to watch your videos and see places that I will probably never see myself! And such wonderful hospitable people. Thank you for showing us the real China in all its diversity!
I remember passing by comrade Bethune's statue in front of Concordia University in Montreal. We learned about him in China in elementary school and his great contributions to the cause of liberation in China and saved many lives of our fighters, he was so dedicated to saving lives that he sacrificed his own.
Thank you so much Yan for showing us unseen China - truly stunning country - you have given me enough inspiration and encouragement to travel and see this places in the future. You are truly amazing!!!
China is very developed even in such remote region unlike my country. I love watching your videos, even I didn't know about this border between China-Nepal and how close villages are from both countries. Love from Nepal and best wishes for your future travels.
@@sancortexstk5252 True. Our country is so much connected with India but not with China even though they are our neighbor. China is so developed, we super rarely see anything related to China in our country and it would also boost our economy and other aspects in development if China was as much connected as we are with India.
@sancortexstk5252 Chairman Mao and Xi's potraite hanging in very Tibeten houses, nobody forced to do so , considering millions of slave Tibeten saved . They are very thankful for Chairman Mao
China is bless with so many beautiful places and people of course,. I'm a Filipino but I fell like I have a Chinese ancestors,.. I feel it inside of me😊😂🫰
Many filipino have chinese ancestry(mostly from Fujian) but to avoid spanish "anti chinese " policy and to married filipino girl, they need to adopt spanish name and christianity.
China discovered the Island of Philippines in the many thousands of years ago, but their emperor have baned any Chinese from settle in those islands or colonized them, she rather let its natives islanders to trade with China by exchanged goods and services.
Lots of love from Sikkim. Best wishes for your onward journey. Your videos are so informative about China..a country which I shall probably never have a chance to visit. A big Thank You!!
They are not Sherpa, and there lives many of my Family members. They are Shingsa Bhotia/Bhote indigenous ethnic group. I - myself from Shingsa BHOTE ethnic people from Nepal and recognise by GOVERNMENT of NEPAL. In the time of SIKKIM Kingdom, including this village, the whole SHINGSA REGION was belongs to KINGDOM of SIKKIM. After SIKKIM and GORKHA/NEPAL war this area became under the territory of Nepal. Till to 1962, this village with other 2 more village are belongs to NEPAL. IN 1962 China and Nepal setup boarder, 16 SHINGSA BHOTE village gone to Nepal side and 3 SHINGSA BHOTE village gone to China. BUT We are SHINGSA BHOTE indigenous people. Very Bad information from blogger. I am very sad. Still the villager speaking my native SHINGSA BHOTE language. and Sherpa cannot understand this language. For proof, ask to sherpa people, do they understand-what are they speaking? Dear blogger, please do not throw wrong information.
One of my eccentriities is that I love to sit on a covered porch during rainstorms; outside, but still protected. If there is thunder in the distance, that is even better! In all of your excellent videos, whereever you go, I see places where I would love to sit during a storm, perhaps with a cup of tea. Your hotel, in this video would be a wonderful place to sit and enjoy the rain - cozy, comfortable and serene. Once again - thank you for the joy you bring to my life!
Wow! I find it fascinating to watch from Nepal 🇳🇵 and observe the striking similarities in culture, dress, food, temple, and house architecture between Nepali Sherpas and Chinese Sherpas. It's intriguing to see how their shared heritage and geographical proximity have shaped their way of life. The traditional drink is called "tongba" in Nepal adds to the cultural richness. Thank you for providing this enlightening experience! ♥️
@@AkshGandharv dude like u everywhere in the comments trying to dictate what they are😂...U seem to be in the wrong channel...The right place for u is wion or now firstpost with palki sharma😂
Chiny są piękne. Dziękuję za ten film . Pokazuje cały czar tego miejsca.😊 Ludzie są mili góry Piękne praca wre aż zazdrość ściska. Pozdrawiam wszystkich .🇵🇱
I truly hope that you and your loved ones are safe and well! My heart just aches at the flooding disaster in your country! Prayers for everyone affected in your country! 🙏💓🫶
Thank you again bringing us to the Chinese sherpas and looking over to Nepal, really interesting and I had never seen this part of China filmed, great job and exposure
I am watching from Dubai, originally from Nepal, I loved your video of Sherpa community, relationships between two nations, warm welcome and geographical purity, unbelievable ❤
Thank you for your amazing work and videos! Your non-political approach to showcasing the true culture of everyday people in China is what keeps me coming. It really feels like we're traveling with you. Your genuine curiosity is contagious, I never miss a video!! Stay safe out there!
@@freemind1229 yeah the society in India around Bhutan border is so bad nowadays like how Manipur is going down in disgusting manner. I hope those atrocities doesn't influence into Bhutan's border
Amazing that they can farm those slopes. (Also, as a Canadian, I knew Norman Bethune was more famous over there, but I didn’t realise he was dropped in casual conversations like Einstein would be here.😮!)
Very informative, no overloading waffle. You make your videos so easy to watch, and, appreciate your wonderful camera work. I have learned a lot about Tibet and the Sherpas, their life, the warm friendship and history. Great narration and introduction to whole new world. Thank you kindly Yan, for sharing your homeland!!
7 years since we visited. You make me want to buy a better drone and go back to explore & share the experience as you do. Thanks for being inspiring and showing the audience how beautiful the region and people are. One of your best episodes. Good luck!
So happy to discover travel in china in English. I really enjoy this travel vlog. Have been to China 20 years ago and miss the gorgeous scenery. Now in my 70s will be difficult to travel to china.
wow what a beautiful landscape & nature same time its very easy to visit as tourist for max one week or may be 3 -4 days but same time its harsh reality that people facing on daily bases btw nicely captured video of villages on border love from INDIA
People in Szechuan have the same drink. It's called Za Jiu 杂酒, which is made of sorghums, corns, and/or wheat, etc.. It's consumed with multiple straws in one big ceramic pot. You mentioned Sherpas are descendants of Tibetans from Szechuan. I can definitely see it from the drink.
One thing I can say this is that they are so blessed with so fertile land ..they can survive by their own without help of our materialistic world .....🥰 Wish I could be like them close with nature ☹️
Awesome again Granddaughter 🙇🏼♀️I feel like I have received a “ Birds Eye view” of this lovely part of the world that otherwise would be impossible for me to see. I use screenshots of some of these landscape drone footage as ideas for my watercolor cards I make to cheer up people . Thanks for such great footage that fuels my creativity. Also, you and your companions are a good fit together on the road with nice humor when things are not ideal. Your editing and music choices are also very professional but yet make your viewers feel they are part of the experience and conversation. These Sherpa people are also very hospitable. It’s so amazing to see time and again that people who possess very little are the best givers to others and fulfill what was said 2000 years ago,” There is more happiness in giving than in receiving.”: I am also relieved that your hosts did not insist you drink to much… It seemed to help you enjoy your visit with more joy and stamina. Happy travels til next time🦚👍🌈🌄
The next fascinating insight into a Tibet where tourists almost never will be able to walk around. Thank you Yan for your awesome VLogs from 'another world'!
We have same drink here in NEPAL. Its called Tongba and its made of millet. It is traditional drink of limbu community and the sherpa community wears the same dress here . Its wonderful how people are connected with culture and tradition , lifestyle bdespite nationality.
Thank you. You are so generous sharing about this part of the world that most people know nothing about. It is amazing thinking about the histories of China and the India region and how much they have shared and interacted via these remote regions for thousands of years. It is almost mystical.
I just started to watch your videos a few days ago!! they are so nice in every aspect as you explain each and everything, the very good thing is that you interact with the local people. In this video, the couple you visited in the summer house was so humble. Lady was telling something about her eyes I guess. I pray for their wellness and good health. She melted my heart. I feel that humanity is on top of every cast, color, creed, nationality, religion, etc. May God bless every human being on this beautiful planet Earth.
Another fascinating video opening this region up to those of us who will likely never visit. Well done Yan! Thank you for giving us this perspective!🙏🏼
Thanks guys for making this video. It's awesome. Thanks for adding english subtitles too. China is beautiful and we don't get to see a lot of docos about China. Much appreciated,.
Sorry to tell you..they are not sherpas...They are Lhomi or Singsaba bhotay... information absolutely wrong...on the nepal side village kimathanga which is just 2km away from zentng..100 %of Lhomi tribes lives theare.i am one of them...and our relatives are on other side of nepal..which is zentang...may theare are few sherpas lives theare...but the people shown on videos are not sherpas ...The hat they wearing with silver coin are Lhomi....
@@tsheringbhutia9479 hmm Wikipedia says that significant populations of Sherpa people live in Nepal and in China (especially in Tingri county), so it would seem like there are actually a lot of Sherpas in china still. Maybe you were told the info you have by people who feel a certain way about the lines and borders between countries? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherpa_people
The music goes always very well with your videos, like a lot of others in the comments I am binging your videos. China is so spectacular. Also very sweet to see the rural side of China with the people which seem so heart warm.
The landscape here was breathtaking! It was so incredible to see how the Sherpa people so easily maneuvered the terrain and what a beautiful culture they have. It warms my heart to see how friendly and welcoming they are to visitors. Thank you for another awesome video!! Wishing you safe travels and good health :)
I keep watching hungrily the whole week for the next episode. I love your videos. You're so cool and friendly, I believe it must be quite a fun time to be on your company. ❤
As a Nepalese, I had never thought Sherpas were also living on the other side of the mountain. However, it felt so good to see them sharing the same roof of the Himalayas in China side. Definitely try to visit this other part of the mountain if I am good enough to communicate with local sherpas in Mandarin. I am living in Guangzhou right now.
Your narration is very good. And you covered a very rare glimpse of Sherpas from China. I’m also a Sherpa but from the other side of the boarder. Last year I along with my better half did trek the Nepal side of Arun river.
Yan, I get emotional watching your videos. The beauty of this world and its people. In the US it is hard to see that now, but you bring it to us. You are amazingly talented.
This is probably the least developed area of China after Daliangshan. The Sherpas are like the Tajiks in Tashkurgan, very warm and nice people, I think their living standard should be better like the Tibetans you showed us in your previous video or the Tajiks in the west. They welcomed you like brothers and sisters who come from afar despite their simple life. I really hope you put this video on Chinese social media for all other chinese to see, hoping that the government will provide them a better living. If i am not mistaken, the government moved the whole Yi minority who live on a crazy dangerous cliff village in Daliangshan to an apartment block nearby especiallly built for them.
Minuto 12.00 talvez essas crianças não façam a mínima idéia, desse momento extraordinário e inesquecível que estão passando, a pureza e a inocencia nas atitudes, desfrutando de um real ar puro das montanhas, alimentaçao saudável, realmente um presente para eles, ao contrário das crianças do ocidente cada vez mais enclausuradas em seus quartos com seus jogos mais variados, cobrança excessiva , depressões e por ai vai, mais afinal esse é o preço da tão falada evolução da humanidade, ...Só que não!!!!!!! Parabéns por mais esse vídeo. From Brazil.
Such a wonderful video, it looks like paradise in that area and the people themselves seem so happy/content and peaceful. So nice and warm in their homes.
