So you have electricity and Internet I mean people are saying they don't have Internet by commenting in you tube And also GOI is investing so much in AP is is correct
I love your videos! From the videography to the contents. You really bring out the authenticity of China with the most genuine observations from yourself. Beyond that you're so kind to people everywhere you go. Please be safe out there, we are excited to tag along your wonderful journeys. ❤
Little Miss Chinese, I am your American Grandmother and want to let you know that I enjoy your videos so very much! You have taken me to parts of the world that I never thought that I would travel to!! Thank you very much. Grandmother Karen
I am a Chinese-Indonesian. I once went to Beijing and Shanghai, which a a big city with a lot of skyscrapers. I never thought that other parts of China had this wonderful beauty with rich culture. Thank you for reconnecting me with my heritage through your video, it is very heartwarming.
And now CCP china wanted to take the Arunachal Pradesh also by saying we are their people fk there people they only wanted the land and natural resources and minerals 😢 they are the evil one in human being face
So very beautiful. You are very talented~~~ I enjoyed watching this very much, and will go start bingeing on your other videos. Thank for being inspiring and awesome!
Hi Yan! I just had to comment and tell you how much joy your videos bring me. Your commitment to bringing all the remote parts of China to the rest of us via TH-cam is so appreciated. I would never be able to see any of this irl, so I watch through the little window of my tablet and sometimes my tv. Your footage from your drone is spectacular! Better than some of the major national travel shows. You make me feel like I am secretly seeing villages, people, and landscapes that have been hidden from view for so long. I decided to become a member of your channel to support you in continuing to make these beautiful videos. They are truly life enriching. I can't thank you enough.
I am from Bhutan watching this, yes miss, i can understand the dialet spoken by Monpa people. Its same to the language spoken by eastern Bhutan, where i belong to. hats off, beautiful piece you compiled.
this channel is so cool. I'm an american and my mom spent a few years in china in the 80s and I've always been fascinated with her (overwhelmingly positive) stories from her time there.
What are the restrictions on foreigners visiting remote areas in China? Are they permanently barred, or are only contested areas affected? Fantastic shot at 17:50!
Foreign visitors to Tibet are allowed through organized tours by travel agencies. Although Medog might not have been included in their destination list, I believe it will be someday soon.
Thank you 🥰 Foreigners are allowed only through group tours to travel Tibet. It's quite expensive and a little bit limiting regarding the places you can visit
@@SUMANDAS-vw7tr China created Tibet. India occupied South Tibet when it was under British rule but shamelessly kept hold of it. Modern India what we know today was founded by the British, before tyjay it was just a one big mess of fragmented tribal states.
@@simonc4764 perhaps u have been widely misinformed about India it's states and it's rich culture and history. Little knowledge is a dangerous thing. First learn properly about India and then speak.
I visited equally isolated remote town in Arunachal Pradesh called Anini, only about 50kms away from Medok if drawn in straight line. I was on the Indian side of border and it was such a beautiful place, that could truly be labeled as Shangri La. Thanks for the video, I wish one day China and India will normalize relations and the border crossing will make much easier in future.

Yes, here from bhutan and for the context there are so many languagues in Bhutan and Monpa langauge is very similar to the ones spoken in eastern parts of Bhutan.
@@brigitteponnighaus786 It had been hundreds or thousands years, it's hard to know why a small nation moved to other place. Maybe because of peace, or food, how knows.
@@Keefer5Também muitos povos e países mudam de local por: recursos, clima, geografia que permita melhor defesa ou até melhor agricultura ou transporte. Por exemplo a área do atual Iraque, Rio Tigre e Eufrates e a planície Mesopotâmia no meio entre eles. Viram dezenas de povos passar, viver, reduzir, e alguns até se extinguiram. Mas. Sempre um local excelente a desenvolver um povo. Veja mesmo a China. Porque não tem fronteiras fixas com a Índia? Pois quer áreas tropicais como Arunachal Pradesh, que permite uma série de áreas agrícolas, clima agradável, produtos agrícolas tropicais, rios navegáveis ao Oceano indico. E também o controle de geleiras e vales no Himalaia as o norte da Índia, porque pode permitir desviar para talvez irrigar desertos chineses, pressionar a Índia a sua esfera ao controlar as nascentes de água. É a tal Geopolítica.
@@taidelek9994 Same for Indian states of Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim and Both are Significantly Buddhist Majority states too from Ancient Times and Also Funfact:-Both The Royal Families of Bhutan and Sikkim are Blood-Related and King of Sikkim is The Cousin Brother of the King of Bhutan
As a researcher of history located in Arunachal Pradesh, it would be a dream come true to be allowed to travel to Medog county and pemako areas to study our brethens on the other side of the border. Before 1962, the border was porous n less militarised. Those were the prime time. Thank you for showing us the beauty of Medog.
Beautiful videos! This is the third I've watched, you do an amazing job bringing the countryside alive. Ypu have an incredible editor too. Keep up the great work.
From an Englishman living in Taiwan - I love your videos. I was a biker and enjoyed touring Europe and Scandinavia, but these journeys are on another level entirely. I admire your passion for travel and culture and your ability to easily mix with the local people.
I live in Jamaica. My grand parents are from Shenzhen and I have only been to China once. Your videos are truly amazing and have given me a very good appreciation of my heritage. Thank you for making these videos. Maybe one day I can go back to China and see some of these areas for myself.
@@heda9306It is with hindsight that one can make such a remark. Many of the older generations had migrated due to difficult and tough circumstances during those days and having 2 meals a day was a challenge. Some may not survive the perilous journey to seek their fortune outside China.
There're news reporting people From Jamaica visiting their roots in Shenzhen from time to time, the most famous guy I think is Kyle Anderson who used to play NBA , his family has Chinese Jamaican background, he later took Chinese citizenship
There is something beautiful about snow capped mountains, lined by fluffy clouds. Thanks Yan for the aerial videos. There is something to be said about having modern technology, but just as equally important keeping traditions that are sporty like archery. Those men are having just as much fun.
I am from Bhutan. You are right. Monpa people reside in Bhutan, especially in the eastern part of Bhutan. In the last part of your video where people are seen playing archery, I can hear them speaking the Tshangla language, one of the major dialects of Bhutan. We are told they migrated there from Bhutan in the early 20th century.
As an Indian, I always used to look at the map of our neighbor China and wonder at its huge scale and size and was always very curious of all it's beauty all over and the wonderous himalayan region we share and the majestic Tibet, through your channel and eyes I have been able to realize my wish to see these lovely hidden remote places! thank you! :)
I live in Adelaide, Australia. This is the most objective video by a Chinese person that I have seen, and I am ever so thankful to you, young lady, for it. Together with your exceptional videography and brilliant communication skills, and engaging personality, you have shown me a beautiful and fascinating part of your land that I may never get to see or experience. What's equally admirable about you is your very disarming nature that allows you to easily gain the confidence and cooperation of authorities, local folks, and others, to show us life of your people as it really is. This has enhanced the objectivity of your video, making it an immersive experience for me because you gain a very close access to people's lives and many off-the-beaten-track places. I am sure that there are many more people like you from your beautiful and diverse nation, whose videos I haven't had the fortune to see and will be equally well received by the world. The world needs to see more objective views of China from intelligent people like you, instead of just being fed the idea of a ruthless, warmongering, imperialist, overworked, robotic, and socially undiverse country, that's pedalled by a boring Western mainstream media. More power to you and keep your videos coming. 🙏
Well said! Australia's media is so biased against China and many other countries. It's fortunate we can see a different side of China from independent channels like Yan's 😊 Watching from Melbourne 👋
The moment you crossed the tunnel and the vegetation changed, it looked like India with the greenery and tea plantation. I am an Indian. I wish we had good relations with China. I so want to travel to China especially Tibet! Much love from India 🇮🇳
Miss Yan, thank you, that landscape with clouds and waterfalls and the green of the trees left me speechless and full of joy I follow you and this video encouraged me to write my first comment
Hello Yan,i am Sonam from Bhutan.The monpa people that you refereed to are not in Bhutan but in Tawang region in India .They are called Monpas .Love watching your blog and if you come to Bhutan do let me know.
There are a few that reside in central Bhutan la. dorjipenjore.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/the-vital-linkc2a0-monpas-and-their-forests.pdf
No, I think she is right … it’s not Monpa from Tawang but they are also called Pema Gopa who originally moved here from Eastern Bhutan and speak the similar dialect as Druk Sharchopa. If you speak Shadchopa, you should be able to understand. Don’t know why Chinese call them Monpa instead of Pema Gopa that Tibetans call them and they are practically Tibetan similar to Sherpas in Nepal.
@@vajraheart6052 but the people she asked introduced their selves as monpa. I dont think others can determine their ethnic right? but as a Han Chinese I dont know too much about this, though I myself had been there too.
@@vajraheart6052not only sherpa but whole of northern Nepal bordering Tibet has influenced of Tibetan culture and the people are also basically tibetans. Some migrated ages ago and some are the local inhabitants who follow tibetan culture and later became Nepali after Nepal got unified. Almost more than 25% percent of people follow tibetan Buddhism and tibetan culture in Nepal. Sherpas are the most popular but there are many other ethnic people whode language, dresses and foods are basically Tibetan.
Having spent a large part of my life in China (qingdao ) i met and married my wife there and we came back to the UK in 2015 . My wife is from Shandong and we both miss China a lot but it's easier to live here in the UK. China is a beautiful Country. Westerners should visit and get to know China & its many different people's. Love your video ❤!!
@@antojose6902 This statement is utterly absurd! China boasts the most diverse natural landscapes and cultural heritage in the world, spanning from the majestic Himalayas to the South China Sea. It has towering mountains, vast grasslands, dense forests, tranquil lakes, and the world's longest Great Wall, all so breathtaking that they leave people speechless. China's beauty lies not only in its natural wonders but also in its thousands of years of history and culture, with treasures like the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, and the Suzhou Gardens, many of which are UNESCO World Heritage Sites. How can you make such a hasty conclusion about beauty based on a few landmarks? India's Taj Mahal might be charming, but how does it compare to China's Forbidden City in terms of grandeur? China's geographical and cultural breadth far exceeds that of India, and its civilization has been building upon itself for millennia, unlike any other. On what grounds can you claim that India is more beautiful than China? This isn't just ignorance and misunderstanding of China, it's a complete distortion of the concept of beauty. Oh, and let's not forget how dirty and chaotic Indian cities are-of all the countries I've visited, India is by far the most filthy. The moment you step out of the airport, you're greeted by the stench of feces.
I only discovered your channel recently and I love it. These remote regions of China are unknown to most of us in the US so I find it super interesting.
The Monpa people have a historical reputation as excellent porters. During the 1962 Sino-Indian War, many Monpa individuals assisted the People's Liberation Army (PLA) of China by carrying supplies to the front lines. Their efforts were significant in aiding the logistics and supply chain during the conflict, showcasing their strength and dedication in challenging conditions.
I am from the other side of the border in Arunachal Pradesh. The Monpas are not actually native to the Medog , they migrated from Bhutan to Medog sometime around the 17 century and displaced the original native Lhoba people 珞巴 with the help of Tibetans.
some Lhoba people remained in Medog county such as in Damu village , Lhoba people also live in the neighboring Chayu county, as well as Shannan city there are some mainly Lhoba people inhabited villages : Caizhao, Qionglin, Douyu, Xiba, Qiongba, etc
18:08 Hello there! I am from Assam and I live in a district from where the brahmaputra flows through. I remember reading in my geography book that Brahmaputra was called Tsangpo in China (Tibet), and it's so amazing to see the river flow there! I have been following your videos for almost a year now and I must applaud you for showcasing the beauty of rural china to the world so greatly! I love to watch your videos in my free time. Lots of love ❤
Hello from New York;) We love watching your journey and wish you all the best along the way. You are an inspiration and a pleasure to watch. Please keep safe and well
I live in Nebraska USA, which is in the center of the United States. I look forward to your videos every week. You have shown me a part of the world that I will never see in person, and it’s so interesting. Thank you! 😊
Yes indeed. I live on the west coast of Canada and am surrounded by rugged terrain, but the vistas captured by Yan show us the many hidden gems in a part of the world that’s understandably inaccessible to casual foreigners. Her videos can easily outdo those done by big production film companies👍👍
Why dont you visit China and see kt in full glory with your own eyes? Our People are there to welcome you and greet you with the best hospitality in the world.
Thank you so much for sharing the unseen China with all of us! As an Asian American living in the US, the western media seldom display the beauty and culture within China, but rather display a lot of negativity about this country. I really hope that as more people view your videos, it will broaden their horizon and will help them see other countries in a different (and more positive) perspective! I also want to praise you for your open-mindedness and bravery in exploring these unique places! Wishing you a safe journey ahead! I can’t wait to see all the adventures in store for you! 😊❤️
We show reality which is more important than watching fake news. And the propaganda in Asian nations against us is 10x worse. Meanwhile they keep applying for visa and immigrating legally and illegally nonstop. Just ask why? If they don’t like us so much why? Also we are cool with Asian American term. Trying saying I’m a proud Japanese Chinese in China or Pakistani Indian in India. There’s no freedoms there.
It was eye opening to watch yr video. Especially the part where u explain that Motuo is not accessible for 8 months every year due to heavy snowing. That means if there is emergency, it will become very challenging for the people living there. Those sceneries were just stunningly beautiful! Thak you.
Yes, I'm from Chicago in the USA and your channel is mesmerizing. I have many friends in China, but have never been. Been to Japan. You are amazing! Keep up the great work!!
This is how India annexed South Tibet and became today's so-called Arunachal Pradesh. 1912: In the first full year of the Republic of China after the fall of the Qing dynasty, the United States National Geographic Magazine dedicated an issue to China. Accompanying the issue is a large and detailed fold-out map of China. The map clearly shows that Dirang Dzong (德讓宗) and Tawang (達旺) are within the boundary of China. 1943: British India likely calculated that dealing with the Lhasa government was easier than with the Republic of China's Nationalist Government in extracting land concessions and proposed to the United States to recognize Tibet's right to exchange diplomatic representatives with other powers. The Americans rejected this proposal: "The Government of the United States has borne in mind the fact that the Chinese Government has long claimed suzerainty over Tibet and that the Chinese constitution lists Tibet among areas constituting the territory of the Republic of China. This Government has at no time raised a question regarding either of those claims." 1944: British India annexed Dirang Dzong (德讓宗), a Tibetan-settled area. Dzong means fort in Tibetan. The Chinese Government (the Nationalist Government of the Republic of China, seated in Kunming at the time because of World War II) protested to the British. So did the Tibetan Lhasa government. 1945: British India intruded into the tribal area of South Tibet. February 1947: The Chinese Nationalist Government lodged a complaint with the Indian mission, which was by then newly established in China, on British India's border intrusions into Chinese territory. August 1947: Britain left South Asia, and India was created as the successor polity to the departed British. India's creation means that a country that historically did not exist suddenly appears on China's doorstep. October 1947: The Tibetan Lhasa Government dispatched a formal request to New Delhi, asking the newly independent Indian Government to withdraw all its predecessors' intrusions into the territory between the McMahon Line and the traditional border beneath the foothills and return a wide swath of territory from Ladakh to Assam, including Sikkim and the Darjeeling district. 1949: When the defeat of the Nationalist Government in China's civil war was imminent, the Republic of China's ambassador in New Delhi reminded the Indian Government that China did not recognize the McMahon Line and held the Simla Convention invalid. October 1949: The CCP (Chinese Communist Party) took control of the mainland, and its civil war rival, the Republic of China, retreated to Taiwan. December 1949: India recognized the People's Republic of China as the legitimate government, effectively cutting off the diplomatic channel the Republic of China used to deliver its protests to India. February 1951: India annexed Tawang (達旺), the birthplace of the Sixth Dalai Lama and home to the four-hundred-year-old Tawang Monastery. The Tibetan authorities in Lhasa protested but were simply informed by the Indian political officer that India was taking over Tawang. The Tibetans protested again, accusing the Indian Government of 'seizing as its own what did not belong to it.' The Tibetans went on to ask New Delhi to withdraw its forces from Tawang immediately. The protests were ignored. The Republic of China (which had already retreated to Taiwan by then and had no diplomatic relation with India) also vehemently denounced India's territorial travesty. Curiously the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) made no noise. 1954: India published a new map showing South Tibet as part of India. The map also shows the two neighbors of China, Sikkim and Bhutan, as part of India. Sikkim has been a neighbor of China for many hundreds of years and has enjoyed good relations. In the 18th century, Sikkim was briefly overrun by the Nepalese Gorkhas, and the Sikkim king fled to China seeking help. The then Qianlong emperor dispatched an expedition to Sikkim, expelled the Gorkhas, and restored Sikkim's sovereignty and independence. Sikkim remained unmolested for the rest of its history until it was annexed by India in 1975. Bhutan is another neighbor of China, and their proximity is evident simply by comparing the flags of Bhutan and the Qing dynasty of China. January 1959: The CCP (Chinese Communist Party) commented for the first time on the issue of South Tibet when Zhou Enlai, in a letter to Nehru, offered to concede South Tibet to India. However, India rejected the offer, as it also claims Aksai Chin as part of India. Aksai Chin is located in an area that is very hard to access from the Indian side due to difficult terrain. This is evidenced by the fact that China was able to build a road there over two years without India even noticing, and India only became aware of it when reading an article from China describing the construction project. This clearly indicates that India not only has no control over the area but also lacks visual access to the region. 1960: India started establishing posts (border markers) north of South Tibet (north of the McMahon Line) and proclaiming that it has the right to unilaterally 'improve' the McMahon Line as it sees fit. October 1962: After years of warning, China attacked India's position in South Tibet and recovered Tawang shortly. Three weeks later, in a second wave, China recovered the whole of South Tibet. November 1962: China unilaterally withdrew back to the north of the McMahon line. 1975: India annexed Sikkim. 1987: India made South Tibet a state and renamed it the so-called Arunachal Pradesh. The Republic of China (Taiwan) put out a statement denouncing India. Here is the statement: "In regard to the issue of the Indian government's illegal occupation of our country's territory and the establishment of the so-called 'Arunachal Pradesh,' the foreign ministry of the Republic of China issued the following announcement at midnight: India's illegal occupation of our country's territory has been repeatedly stated by the Government of the Republic of China as something it will not recognize. Recently, the Indian Congress unilaterally passed the establishment of 'Arunachal Pradesh' to the south of the so-called McMahon Line. The Indian Government also made it a state. The Government of the Republic of China once again solemnly proclaims that the Government of India intends to legitimize its illegal occupation of Chinese territory. The Government of the Republic of China regards this as illegal, void, and absolutely not recognized." 2008: With the return of Hong Kong to China, Britain effectively withdrew from its colonial involvement in Asia, and Tibet lost its utility as a potential bargaining chip in British negotiations with China concerning Hong Kong. With no remaining interests in Tibet, Britain could afford to be forthright for once. The British government issued a statement acknowledging China's sovereignty over Tibet (previously recognized as suzerainty, not sovereignty). This statement, endorsed by both the Conservative and Labour parties, is notable for its candor in admitting Britain's past territorial ambitions in Tibet and adopts an almost apologetic tone. Here is an excerpt: "...But our position is unusual for one reason of history that has been imported into the present: the anachronism of our formal position on whether Tibet is part of China, and whether in fact we harbour continued designs to see the break-up of China. We do not. Our ability to get our points across has sometimes been clouded by the position the UK took at the start of the 20th century on the status of Tibet, a position based on the geopolitics of the time. Our recognition of China's "special position" in Tibet developed from the outdated concept of suzerainty. Some have used this to cast doubt on the aims we are pursuing and to claim that we are denying Chinese sovereignty over a large part of its own territory. We have made clear to the Chinese Government, and publicly, that we do not support Tibetan independence. Like every other EU member state, and the United States, we regard Tibet as part of the People's Republic of China. " 2014: A Tibetan Chinese named Nido Tania from Arunachal Pradesh (occupied South Tibet) went to Delhi and was beaten to death because he 'looked Chinese.' 2024: In the 1990s, India subtly probed the People's Republic of China (PRC), leading to the inference that China's position on South Tibet had hardened, despite the PRC officially maintaining ambiguity on the matter. It has become evident that China's earlier offer to cede South Tibet is no longer available, as China has explicitly stated that South Tibet is part of its territory. This stance mirrors the positions of both the Tibetan Lhasa Government and its civil war rival, the Republic of China (Taiwan).

Such a marvelous landscape of mountain range and natural beauty 😍😍 I've known about Mêdog for a while thanks to my own curiosity, having come across this curious little town by chance from exploring the Maps app at first. Then, I come to learn that this was the last rural town in China to receive a complete and functional roadway access in 2013, after previously being virtually inaccessible by everyone else on regular basis 😳😳 It's also one of the last towns in China to have been lifted out of abject poverty. I saw from different videos beforehand, the infrastructure of the town center itself and it's surprisingly modern. Esp. when you consider the location and the proximity of the place, even from Lhasa 😳😲
Wow! Magnificent scenery and great editing as the music really adds to the effect! Thanks for sharing your journeys and letting us see these fantastic places and people.

Hi Yan,Thank you so much for sharing such high-quality videos. Whenever you post about Yunnan and Tibet, I feel a special connection, as my ancestry traces back to Yunnan Province (around Ruili). I thoroughly enjoyed exploring life on the other side of the McMahon Line through your content. I hope that one day I might have the opportunity to visit these places myself. Additionally, I wanted to mention that the Monpas are predominantly found in Tawang and the Dibang Valley region of Arunachal Pradesh (South Tibet). Wishing you good health and sending lots of love from across the border from NE India.
Monpas are predominantly found at Tawang and West Kameng districts of Arunachal Pradesh, India, They are not in Dibang Valley, which is inhabited by Idu Mishmis, who are also found on the other side of border in Chinese part. Thanks.

Thank you Yan for yet another facinating video people and geography of the disputed border area in China. As is the case in many other places in the world, the McMohan Line is a man made divide. I hope India and China have the courage and wisdom one day to resolve their border dispute peacefully. There is simple so very much to gain on both sides when the border is open again. I am a Dutch, living in Malaysia. I love your videos. Thank you Yan. You are an amazing and talented videographer
Yet another beautiful scenery especially the awesome drone shot....I have to say it again Ms.Yan, you are a natural awesome cinematographer! As an occasional biker myself, i am actually very impressed with your endurance in riding your bullet-proof little Suzuki scooter on such long distance journey with the occasional challenging terrain in some areas! Kudos to the little Suzuki scooter who were not intimidated by the other mostly big BMW GS adventure bikes you met along the way. As in other countries, it is good to see that the biking community everywhere are the same kind and friendly group of people when they see other riders no matter what bikes you ride! Safe ride Ms. Yan!!
'literally riding from winter to summer due to the differences in altitude' - reminds me of taking a Swiss bus in 1976 - maybe a 1950s model - yellow with a roll-back canvas roof - from maybe Katmandu next to the Himalayan mountains, down to somewhere like Patna on the Indian plains - from snow to tropical warmth - that was a surprise for me.

Hi Yan! I just had to comment and tell you how much joy your videos bring me. Your commitment to bringing all the remote parts of China to the rest of us via TH-cam is so appreciated. I would never be able to see any of this irl, so I watch through the little window of my tablet and sometimes my tv. Your footage from your drone is spectacular! Better than some of the major national travel shows. You make me feel like I am secretly seeing villages, people, and landscapes that have been hidden from view for so long. I decided to become a member of your channel to support you in continuing to make these beautiful videos. They are truly life enriching. I can't thank you enough.

What are the restrictions on foreigners visiting remote areas in China? Are they permanently barred, or are only contested areas affected?
Fantastic shot at 17:50!
For national security reason. There are restrictions from India side, too.
Foreign visitors to Tibet are allowed through organized tours by travel agencies. Although Medog might not have been included in their destination list, I believe it will be someday soon.
Arunachal Pradesh passed india, foreigners all
Thank you 🥰
Foreigners are allowed only through group tours to travel Tibet. It's quite expensive and a little bit limiting regarding the places you can visit
Actually you can visit most of areas in China whithout much limitation. Tibet is an exception, but you can travel there by group tour agencies.

Together with your exceptional videography and brilliant communication skills, and engaging personality, you have shown me a beautiful and fascinating part of your land that I may never get to see or experience. What's equally admirable about you is your very disarming nature that allows you to easily gain the confidence and cooperation of authorities, local folks, and others, to show us life of your people as it really is. This has enhanced the objectivity of your video, making it an immersive experience for me because you gain a very close access to people's lives and many off-the-beaten-track places. I am sure that there are many more people like you from your beautiful and diverse nation, whose videos I haven't had the fortune to see and will be equally well received by the world. The world needs to see more objective views of China from intelligent people like you, instead of just being fed the idea of a ruthless, warmongering, imperialist, overworked, robotic, and socially undiverse country, that's pedalled by a boring Western mainstream media. More power to you and keep your videos coming. 🙏

Hello Yan,i am Sonam from Bhutan.The monpa people that you refereed to are not in Bhutan but in Tawang region in India .They are called Monpas .Love watching your blog and if you come to Bhutan do let me know.
There are a few that reside in central Bhutan la. dorjipenjore.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/the-vital-linkc2a0-monpas-and-their-forests.pdf
No, I think she is right … it’s not Monpa from Tawang but they are also called Pema Gopa who originally moved here from Eastern Bhutan and speak the similar dialect as Druk Sharchopa. If you speak Shadchopa, you should be able to understand. Don’t know why Chinese call them Monpa instead of Pema Gopa that Tibetans call them and they are practically Tibetan similar to Sherpas in Nepal.
@@vajraheart6052 but the people she asked introduced their selves as monpa. I dont think others can determine their ethnic right? but as a Han Chinese I dont know too much about this, though I myself had been there too.
I am a monpa living near Tawang and the people who share our similar language and culture are the people living in Sakteng in Bhutan .
@@vajraheart6052not only sherpa but whole of northern Nepal bordering Tibet has influenced of Tibetan culture and the people are also basically tibetans. Some migrated ages ago and some are the local inhabitants who follow tibetan culture and later became Nepali after Nepal got unified.

Sherpas are the most popular but there are many other ethnic people whode language, dresses and foods are basically Tibetan.

@@antojose6902 India looks like shit
@@antojose6902 This statement is utterly absurd! China boasts the most diverse natural landscapes and cultural heritage in the world, spanning from the majestic Himalayas to the South China Sea. It has towering mountains, vast grasslands, dense forests, tranquil lakes, and the world's longest Great Wall, all so breathtaking that they leave people speechless. China's beauty lies not only in its natural wonders but also in its thousands of years of history and culture, with treasures like the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, and the Suzhou Gardens, many of which are UNESCO World Heritage Sites. How can you make such a hasty conclusion about beauty based on a few landmarks? India's Taj Mahal might be charming, but how does it compare to China's Forbidden City in terms of grandeur? China's geographical and cultural breadth far exceeds that of India, and its civilization has been building upon itself for millennia, unlike any other. On what grounds can you claim that India is more beautiful than China? This isn't just ignorance and misunderstanding of China, it's a complete distortion of the concept of beauty. Oh, and let's not forget how dirty and chaotic Indian cities are-of all the countries I've visited, India is by far the most filthy. The moment you step out of the airport, you're greeted by the stench of feces.

The Monpa people have a historical reputation as excellent porters. During the 1962 Sino-Indian War, many Monpa individuals assisted the People's Liberation Army (PLA) of China by carrying supplies to the front lines. Their efforts were significant in aiding the logistics and supply chain during the conflict, showcasing their strength and dedication in challenging conditions.
I am from the other side of the border in Arunachal Pradesh. The Monpas are not actually native to the Medog , they migrated from Bhutan to Medog sometime around the 17 century and displaced the original native Lhoba people 珞巴 with the help of Tibetans.

This is how India annexed South Tibet and became today's so-called Arunachal Pradesh.
1912: In the first full year of the Republic of China after the fall of the Qing dynasty, the United States National Geographic Magazine dedicated an issue to China. Accompanying the issue is a large and detailed fold-out map of China. The map clearly shows that Dirang Dzong (德讓宗) and Tawang (達旺) are within the boundary of China.
1943: British India likely calculated that dealing with the Lhasa government was easier than with the Republic of China's Nationalist Government in extracting land concessions and proposed to the United States to recognize Tibet's right to exchange diplomatic representatives with other powers. The Americans rejected this proposal:
"The Government of the United States has borne in mind the fact that the Chinese Government has long claimed suzerainty over Tibet and that the Chinese constitution lists Tibet among areas constituting the territory of the Republic of China. This Government has at no time raised a question regarding either of those claims."
1944: British India annexed Dirang Dzong (德讓宗), a Tibetan-settled area. Dzong means fort in Tibetan. The Chinese Government (the Nationalist Government of the Republic of China, seated in Kunming at the time because of World War II) protested to the British. So did the Tibetan Lhasa government.
1945: British India intruded into the tribal area of South Tibet.
February 1947: The Chinese Nationalist Government lodged a complaint with the Indian mission, which was by then newly established in China, on British India's border intrusions into Chinese territory.
August 1947: Britain left South Asia, and India was created as the successor polity to the departed British. India's creation means that a country that historically did not exist suddenly appears on China's doorstep.
October 1947: The Tibetan Lhasa Government dispatched a formal request to New Delhi, asking the newly independent Indian Government to withdraw all its predecessors' intrusions into the territory between the McMahon Line and the traditional border beneath the foothills and return a wide swath of territory from Ladakh to Assam, including Sikkim and the Darjeeling district.
1949: When the defeat of the Nationalist Government in China's civil war was imminent, the Republic of China's ambassador in New Delhi reminded the Indian Government that China did not recognize the McMahon Line and held the Simla Convention invalid.
October 1949: The CCP (Chinese Communist Party) took control of the mainland, and its civil war rival, the Republic of China, retreated to Taiwan.
December 1949: India recognized the People's Republic of China as the legitimate government, effectively cutting off the diplomatic channel the Republic of China used to deliver its protests to India.
February 1951: India annexed Tawang (達旺), the birthplace of the Sixth Dalai Lama and home to the four-hundred-year-old Tawang Monastery. The Tibetan authorities in Lhasa protested but were simply informed by the Indian political officer that India was taking over Tawang. The Tibetans protested again, accusing the Indian Government of 'seizing as its own what did not belong to it.' The Tibetans went on to ask New Delhi to withdraw its forces from Tawang immediately. The protests were ignored. The Republic of China (which had already retreated to Taiwan by then and had no diplomatic relation with India) also vehemently denounced India's territorial travesty. Curiously the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) made no noise.
1954: India published a new map showing South Tibet as part of India. The map also shows the two neighbors of China, Sikkim and Bhutan, as part of India. Sikkim has been a neighbor of China for many hundreds of years and has enjoyed good relations. In the 18th century, Sikkim was briefly overrun by the Nepalese Gorkhas, and the Sikkim king fled to China seeking help. The then Qianlong emperor dispatched an expedition to Sikkim, expelled the Gorkhas, and restored Sikkim's sovereignty and independence. Sikkim remained unmolested for the rest of its history until it was annexed by India in 1975. Bhutan is another neighbor of China, and their proximity is evident simply by comparing the flags of Bhutan and the Qing dynasty of China.
January 1959: The CCP (Chinese Communist Party) commented for the first time on the issue of South Tibet when Zhou Enlai, in a letter to Nehru, offered to concede South Tibet to India. However, India rejected the offer, as it also claims Aksai Chin as part of India. Aksai Chin is located in an area that is very hard to access from the Indian side due to difficult terrain. This is evidenced by the fact that China was able to build a road there over two years without India even noticing, and India only became aware of it when reading an article from China describing the construction project. This clearly indicates that India not only has no control over the area but also lacks visual access to the region.
1960: India started establishing posts (border markers) north of South Tibet (north of the McMahon Line) and proclaiming that it has the right to unilaterally 'improve' the McMahon Line as it sees fit.
October 1962: After years of warning, China attacked India's position in South Tibet and recovered Tawang shortly. Three weeks later, in a second wave, China recovered the whole of South Tibet.
November 1962: China unilaterally withdrew back to the north of the McMahon line.
1975: India annexed Sikkim.
1987: India made South Tibet a state and renamed it the so-called Arunachal Pradesh. The Republic of China (Taiwan) put out a statement denouncing India. Here is the statement:
"In regard to the issue of the Indian government's illegal occupation of our country's territory and the establishment of the so-called 'Arunachal Pradesh,' the foreign ministry of the Republic of China issued the following announcement at midnight: India's illegal occupation of our country's territory has been repeatedly stated by the Government of the Republic of China as something it will not recognize. Recently, the Indian Congress unilaterally passed the establishment of 'Arunachal Pradesh' to the south of the so-called McMahon Line. The Indian Government also made it a state. The Government of the Republic of China once again solemnly proclaims that the Government of India intends to legitimize its illegal occupation of Chinese territory. The Government of the Republic of China regards this as illegal, void, and absolutely not recognized."
2008: With the return of Hong Kong to China, Britain effectively withdrew from its colonial involvement in Asia, and Tibet lost its utility as a potential bargaining chip in British negotiations with China concerning Hong Kong. With no remaining interests in Tibet, Britain could afford to be forthright for once. The British government issued a statement acknowledging China's sovereignty over Tibet (previously recognized as suzerainty, not sovereignty). This statement, endorsed by both the Conservative and Labour parties, is notable for its candor in admitting Britain's past territorial ambitions in Tibet and adopts an almost apologetic tone. Here is an excerpt:
"...But our position is unusual for one reason of history that has been imported into the present: the anachronism of our formal position on whether Tibet is part of China, and whether in fact we harbour continued designs to see the break-up of China. We do not.
Our ability to get our points across has sometimes been clouded by the position the UK took at the start of the 20th century on the status of Tibet, a position based on the geopolitics of the time. Our recognition of China's "special position" in Tibet developed from the outdated concept of suzerainty. Some have used this to cast doubt on the aims we are pursuing and to claim that we are denying Chinese sovereignty over a large part of its own territory. We have made clear to the Chinese Government, and publicly, that we do not support Tibetan independence. Like every other EU member state, and the United States, we regard Tibet as part of the People's Republic of China. "
2014: A Tibetan Chinese named Nido Tania from Arunachal Pradesh (occupied South Tibet) went to Delhi and was beaten to death because he 'looked Chinese.'
2024: In the 1990s, India subtly probed the People's Republic of China (PRC), leading to the inference that China's position on South Tibet had hardened, despite the PRC officially maintaining ambiguity on the matter. It has become evident that China's earlier offer to cede South Tibet is no longer available, as China has explicitly stated that South Tibet is part of its territory. This stance mirrors the positions of both the Tibetan Lhasa Government and its civil war rival, the Republic of China (Taiwan).

It's also one of the last towns in China to have been lifted out of abject poverty. I saw from different videos beforehand, the infrastructure of the town center itself and it's surprisingly modern. Esp. when you consider the location and the proximity of the place, even from Lhasa 😳😲
Wow! Magnificent scenery and great editing as the music really adds to the effect! Thanks for sharing your journeys and letting us see these fantastic places and people.
New subscriber here from Davao city, Philippines.. I love your videos .. I learned different cultures and appreciate the beautiful country of China. We have a lot of Filipino -Chinese living here in the Philippines.
You take beautiful videos with your drone on mountains, rivers, valleys, the countryside, the skyline, sunsets 🌅, etc … 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks very much little Chinese for showing us this beautiful location. Excellent video, i enjoyed the presentation.
This video is underrated.
You’re so brave. Even thought of driving through mountain road like this makes me terrified. You do it with scooter while filming.
You deserve much.

Thanks for showing beautiful drone shots.. thoroughly enjoyed.. your offering toffees to children super..
Iam From Arunachal Pradesh India Near Tibet( China) My village is just Near the Macmohan Line Between India and China Border. Love From Arunachal Pradesh( India).
Love from Jammu Kashmir ❤️ bro Are you okay? AND you guys got network and roads ??? Because I read Chinese comments that india annexed arunachal forcefully and they are killing people over there and they don't have network to share this 🙂
Wish one day the people from both country can visut each other🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@Jennie-q8iNah, unlike other northeastern here in arunachal their is not that much history cases also arunachali themselves joined india👍
@@Jennie-q8inah...Chinese are the one... Their media is totally controlled by china govt.. So they don't hv unbiased news

Hi Yan,Thank you so much for sharing such high-quality videos. Whenever you post about Yunnan and Tibet, I feel a special connection, as my ancestry traces back to Yunnan Province (around Ruili). I thoroughly enjoyed exploring life on the other side of the McMahon Line through your content. I hope that one day I might have the opportunity to visit these places myself. Additionally, I wanted to mention that the Monpas are predominantly found in Tawang and the Dibang Valley region of Arunachal Pradesh (South Tibet). Wishing you good health and sending lots of love from across the border from NE India.
It is not South tibat .it's a Arunachal Pradesh. Oky
Monpas are predominantly found at Tawang and West Kameng districts of Arunachal Pradesh, India, They are not in Dibang Valley, which is inhabited by Idu Mishmis, who are also found on the other side of border in Chinese part. Thanks.
I love reading all the great comments about your amazing adventures. The countryside is so beautiful and diverse. You are a true emissary for your country.
Wow. It's a joy to watch all these beautiful sceneries. Thank you for sharing this video.

Maybe she cannot say Arunachal Pradesh because using that term the Chinese govt might ban her channel

Thank you Yan for yet another facinating video people and geography of the disputed border area in China. As is the case in many other places in the world, the McMohan Line is a man made divide. I hope India and China have the courage and wisdom one day to resolve their border dispute peacefully. There is simple so very much to gain on both sides when the border is open again.
I am a Dutch, living in Malaysia. I love your videos. Thank you Yan. You are an amazing and talented videographer

Thank you for bringing the beauty of China to my screen! I’m in awe of what you are doing. These videos are amazing. Thank you!!!

Hey, friend I'm watching from the Central Caribbean, Jamaica. Your Country is Amazing.moo
Love your adventures. The vistas, the music, the education, and wonder bring such beauty and imagination to life! Thank you for your bravery!
Yet another beautiful scenery especially the awesome drone shot....I have to say it again Ms.Yan, you are a natural awesome cinematographer! As an occasional biker myself, i am actually very impressed with your endurance in riding your bullet-proof little Suzuki scooter on such long distance journey with the occasional challenging terrain in some areas! Kudos to the little Suzuki scooter who were not intimidated by the other mostly big BMW GS adventure bikes you met along the way. As in other countries, it is good to see that the biking community everywhere are the same kind and friendly group of people when they see other riders no matter what bikes you ride! Safe ride Ms. Yan!!
'literally riding from winter to summer due to the differences in altitude' - reminds me of taking a Swiss bus in 1976 - maybe a 1950s model - yellow with a roll-back canvas roof - from maybe Katmandu next to the Himalayan mountains, down to somewhere like Patna on the Indian plains - from snow to tropical warmth - that was a surprise for me.
Watching your videos from Singapore. Keep up these great videos. So educational and enjoyable...
Saya dari Indonesia. Sangat menyukai video - video perjalanan Anda. Konten dan videographinya sangat bagus. Memberi inspirasi dan perspektif lain tentang China. Terus berkarya. Terima kasih banyak.

Yan, all your videos are special, but this one is exceptionally beautiful, and you showed us a part of the world we can never see. Thanks.

I’m from Malaysia. I love watching your videos. They give me immence pleasure watching the various parts of China which are impossible for non-natives to travel to. I’ve made 4 trips to 4 different parts of China ; each had their different charactetistics. Trully amazing. Thanks for your videos which are very Interesting and educational
Open jail china 😅
Tibet is an occupied territory.

How much I envy you for this trip to Medog. I always wished that this area will be open to foreign visitors but it was only a dream. Thanks for this very beautiful video and the great pictures/film you made on this trip. Wishing you all the best and good luck for your continuing trip of Eastern Tibet.
Thank you 🥰
You can visit Arunachal a state in India the other part which was shown in this video is my state Arunachal. You’ll get the same vibes and scenery. Also in the video where the guys whose ethnicity were monpa is one of the tribe in Arunachal

Yan, this is the first video i have seen in your channel. This is my new favorite channel! Subscribed.
Monpa people are found in large number in Tawang, jang and other regions of Arunachal Pradesh which is very close to Bhutan and Tibet. I believe the people living in Merak, Sakteng anf other eastern vilages of Bhutan border are all Monpa but known as sharchhokpa in Bhutan.
阿鲁纳恰尔邦的蒙帕人实际上是从西藏迁移过来的。
Very nice video. Looks like many villageri are relocated to the city, pretty new buildings. What's the main economy in this region besides tea? Would be nice to show the markets and festivals. School, clinics etc
