- Join me on a breathtaking journey to the heart of Shangri-La, where the Sumtseling Temple stands as a testament to resilience and rebirth. Once reduced to ruins during the Cultural Revolution, this ancient temple has been meticulously rebuilt, preserving its profound spiritual legacy and cultural significance.
In this video, I explore the winding corridors and vibrant chambers of Sumtseling, adorned with intricate Tibetan art and sacred artifacts. I interact with the monks, whose peaceful presence fills the temple, and delve into their daily lives in the hidden back alleys of this sacred site. From attempting to read Tibetan script to admiring the majestic temple architecture, every moment is a step deeper into the soul of Shangri-La.
Experience the undying spirit of this extraordinary place with me. Watch as history and spirituality merge into a narrative of triumph and continuity against all odds.
If this glimpse into Sumtseling moves you, leave a comment to share your thoughts, or if you've experienced similar places of rebirth, I'd love to hear about it. Don't forget to subscribe for more adventures from around the world.

This is not an automonous region, it's an autonomonous prefecture under the Yunnan province.
China has just five autonomous regions: Guangxi Zhuang, Xizang Tibetan, Xinjiang Uyghur, Ningxia Hui and Inner Mongolia Mongolian, for the main minorities.
Under some "normal" provinces, they have autonomous counties, prefectures and districts, inside said provinces for lesser minority groups, such as Shangri-La.
For example, there is a Manchu autonomous county, in the province of Hebei, just next to Beijing.
Great video! Another subscriber.
The buildings look so beautiful! The sunshine is soooo strong making the temple more shining. fantasitic!
I love that you share some history and context in the beginning!
Hello, Bard, I watched some of your videos from Chinese websites, I am an Irish history/culture lover (you can see from my avatar haha) from GuangXi China. I found your accent familiar in the earlier videos, but I am not sure you are Irish because you said you live in Sweden. but in the last video I hear you sing "on the one road" on that E-bike, that makes me confirm you are Irish and decide to greet ya on youtube haha. Anyway, have a good trip and if you come to China next time, I have many Unique and niche attractions you may enjoy to share with you.
Hello there, wow really good spot! 😃 🎶
Really nice to meet you!
I am indeed Irish ☘️ but I live in Sweden and the next trip I’d absolutely love to reach out and get some insider locations!
Thanks for coming to say hello 🙋♂️
Hi mate, you are an aventurer, salute to you.
Must visit this magnificent architect, and the world famous Location ❤
I like the way you talk and film, love from NZ
And another alleyway lol. Beautiful spot - feels very spiritual
wow, this is great, so colourful , not just colour but life
Great information
nice😊
nice view and weather~ actually you can go to the lake you saw neaby the temple. Photos are inhibited in almost all the temples in China. Okay to take from the outside, but not the inside.
Woohoo! Quite early here! 💥
Good morning! 🌞
7：08，it’s signed “no photo”😂，usually it's not allowed taking photo the Buddha in monastries, people think it's disrespect to the gods.😅
That one I did see! What caught my eye was the nice handwriting 😂
So that room I went into but didn’t film.
The video is a little short because there were many rooms I went to but there’s no footage from it.
Thanks for watching and good eye! 👀
any plan to visit other parts of China?
I have been dreaming of visiting the three gorges dam with my family. It should be nice as summer is approaching.
I’ve some more larger cities to go on the west and north - unfortunately won’t get to the 3 gorges but it’s something I’d love to see. The sheer scale of the engineering alone is incredible!
@@ramblingbard suggest you to go to "jiuzhaigou"national park, in sichuan province, very beatiful
香格里拉2000年的时候很漂亮，现在不行了，以前的藏式老房子非常漂亮
是被大火烧了吗

How cute people in the comment cannot wait to show their ignorance by shouting free Tibet
It's Yunnan😅respect the content creator by peacefully enjoying a touring video
i think thats how man travels
You still like going to corners as always, when the red ladder appears, I even wonder if you would climb it😂 I guess you will go to Tibet and Nei Mongol, you seem to like their cultures very much. Also you seem to be interested in Buddhism but know little about it😂
Haha I promise when I first saw it my thoughts were the same 😂
But then realised I maybe weigh a bit too much for it haha
As the religions I grew up with were so different to Buddhism I really like it on the high level.
@@ramblingbard Actually I'm a Buddhist😂, I had learnt Tibetan Buddhism, but now more focus on Chinese Han Buddhism. Buddhism completely changed my life
Cultural genocide is going on in Tibet under Xi Jinping. Tibetan children are holed up in CCP's colonial boarding school where Tibetan children numbering around a million are forced to talk, read, write and communicate in Chinese only. All private school that teach Tibetan language are shit down. In some area overzealous Chinese officials are even n monitoring if Tibetan children are taking private lesson in Tibetan
during holiday through periodic visit and warning parents.
Tibet may be sizzling hot destination for Chinese and foreigners but for Tibetans their movement are curtailed within Tibet. The overseas Tibetan find it exceedingly to get permit to visit Tibet for family reunion, pilgrimages etc. Foreign tourist are regulated. But Han Chinese are let loose in Tibet with incentives to over whelme Tibetan.
I am Chinese You are American, whatever you say is right. is right is right You are absolutely right. yes The BBC news reports you read are absolutely true bbc is good , free teaxs free teaxs
I encourage you to go to Tibet and see for yourself. These monks are studying Tibet scriptures using Tibetan of course. This is even in Yunnan province. If you go to Tibet proper, people are speaking Tibetan and schools are teaching Tibetan, and also Chinese. Keep in mind that the old elites/slave owners did not give ANY education to the serfs/slaves.
😂Just watched a video of boarding school on TibetTravel channel in which they speak Tibetan. Boarding schools are absolutely necessary there because lot of Tibetans are nomads scattered on vast grass land
Don't call china.it Tibet free dome country..
Tibet belongs to Tibetan FREE TIBET
This is the yunnan-province not Tibet autonomous region

Tibetan language alphabets are replaced by Chinese alphabets 😭
'm sure that if you go to tibe and you speak Chinese to them, many people don't understand it ,So what language do Native Americans speak in the United States ,im shame on you , All places in tibet, China are written in both Chinese and Tibetan. Look at the United States funny
It’s not cultural revolution, it’s Chinese occupation of Tibet 😢

西藏从元朝开始就属于中国了，那时候甚至美国还不是个国家，你究竟知不知道你在说什么。
Hey, brother, you are very popular in China.
Ahah I’ve heard a lot don’t really understand my style of humour or exploration! But hopefully at least some do 😊
