Watching this from Bhutan. Phagri ! A place so far, yet so near. A place we heard so much from our elders. Stories, tales and folklores. I have never seen any pictures or videos of Phagri until today. Thank you for making me feel nostalgic to a place I have never been to. Also brings back memories of some of the places in Bhutan longtime ago. Phagri, Lhasa and Dorji Dhen ( Bodh Gaya ) were the places our grand parents used to proudly discuss about as if they where London, Paris and Tokyo of their times. Phagri doesn't seem like bustling and crazy city but rather quiet and serene just somewhat like Thimphu during my childhood days.
I am from Uttarakhand state of India and from past 3 days i have been continuously watching your videos. I can relate to so many things since i am from a community who used to live in a valley near Indian-Tibet border known as "Johar / johar valley". My grandfather and many other people from our community used to trade with Tibet. No money involved only the barter system. After the border, the trade route to Tibet closed many people for jobs and eduaction migrated towards cities. But all of us our still very much attached to our routes and yearly celebrate our culture. In winters we love and enjoy the butter tea which we call "jaa/jya" and use Ghee instead of butter. The wooden utensil that we make it in is called dumga/dumka in our language and The solidified cheese is called "chipi". People of our "Shauka" community still go to heights in search of Caterpillar Fungus and we call it "yarsagambu" or keeda jadi which literally means insect root. It is really a very expesive medicine. Its even illegal to trade or sell here in India. But people still do it. Since we had a history of great ties with tibetan and nepalese people we share a lot of common things like food, utensils, clothing, carpet making and the designs and few vocabulary. We come under Bhotia tribe and i believe we are related to tibets, like years ago we were or our ancestors must have been from there. I have never been to Tibet but When I watch your videos I feel at home. I wish to visit Tibet one day and travel the Mansarovar Yatra (Mount Kailash)🙏🌸 Lots of love from India💝
I am from Sikkim,India. Been always curious about the life in Yadong, thank you for showing us a detailed video on it :)your content really sums it all !
@@Ferris-el1dni heard Tibet was a free national but people were killed and many went outside their homeland to protect themselves in including Dalai Lama and a singer burn himself to protest against the ccp rule in Tibet..
@@jagatdeuri3261 Sorry, Tibet has been a part of China since Yuan dynasty, from AD 1271,and went through the Ming and Qing dynasties and of course ROC period.

I support so many of the positive comments here. Your channel is great, honest, easy to follow, friendly spirited, professional and educational. In our politically polarised world it is so important to have people like you who are simply interested in understanding other people beliefs, struggles, dreams and train of thought. Dealing with such issues as border disputes where even the naming of places has political consequences, is no easy feat. You do it incredibly well, in my view. And yes, I understand that some voices might not get through in this comment section, or even on the internet at all, but content like this motivates me to be open minded and curious all the time. I just wanted to take a moment to reach out and express my heartfelt admiration for your incredible work and the inspiration you bring to us all. Keep doing exactly what you do!
Thank you so much for another video from Tibet! The people you meet are always so kind and you present their culture and the area they live in such a nice way. You show how it is to go somewhere open minded and find friendly people wherever you go. I'm always looking forward to your next video. Love from Germany!
I am Indonesian, but i like to watch this kind of vlog like explore Tibet,Bhutan, Nepal, North India and also the coldest city in the world YAKUTZ.I don't know why but i feel like I connected to that place and also I feel like I know well the environment.The fact is I never been to that country/city in my life.
Yea sometimes I toll feel like I know this places and visited there. But in reality I never went there. But this places looks familiar for me like in my past life I was there.
Oh my god, love the discussion at Khumbu Chutsen!!! 😍😍🥰 so great to know such discussions still happen in places like Khumbu Chutsen and by Tashi Lhunpu monks… love what the monk emphasized, “ you have to study, then analyze by yourself, realize, and reach an understanding…Zhao, this Tashi Lhunpu monk sounds good for you to befriend and learn more about Buddhism. Sounds balanced and honest
The tibethian buddhism brought to the world is the best they could have done. As it is addressed to ordinary people, it keeps the teachings simple and therefore somehow understandable. The super big advantage is that you can use these teachings in your daily life and must not believe anything. You can proof by yourself. But be aware: these teachings are not what you want to hear.
Hello from Bhutan 🇧🇹! I just watched your video about the popular trading destination of Phagri, and I must say it was incredibly informative and fascinating. Thank you for sharing your travels with us! It's amazing to see how our past ancestors engaged in vibrant trading in Phagri, and I feel a sense of connection and pride in our shared history. The world is full of diverse cultures and rich heritage, and it's heartwarming to witness how technology allows us to explore and appreciate these ancient routes from afar. I truly wish that we could have the opportunity to interact and travel in this reality. Sending warm wishes from Bhutan for more exciting travels and discoveries in the future!
I truly enjoyed my visit to Tibet earlier this year but would loved to have traveled with you guys to these unseen areas. Thank you so much for your videos.
Hello from the US. I love watching your channel! I have learned so much about Asian culture from you. And the scenery, especially the drone footage, is absolutely breathtaking! You are an amazing young woman, and I feel honored and blessed that I know you through your adventures!
Greetings from Bhutan 🇧🇹 Finally much awaited video is out again. Throughly enjoyed and so happy to see you guys interested in my country. Also I wish and pray your friend find his precious master soon 🙏🏻 Tashidelek 🎉
Can your visits get any more exotic than this?? Feeding those amazing monkeys, exploring the once beautiful old house, caterpillar fungus (oh my!) & talking with Tibetan monks about their study, WOW!
Honestly I did not find it a good idea to feed the monkeys. First they will reproduce unlimited and second will become agressive beggars. From a certain point on unfortunately the local authorities will have to control the population by poisoning or hunting. Do not interfere with nature is the best solution.
Kuzuzangpo la from Bhutan!😊 I watch your vlog all the time and enjoy your travels. Your visit to Pagri was truly interesting and informative. In the olden days, Pagri was a thriving trading town and many Bhutanese used to travel there to trade including my late father-in-law.
As always, a video that well surpasses national geographic channel. After subscribing to your channel I have learn so much about so many things about China.
Whith what the National Geographic channel has turned into, that's not that difficult. It's the reason why I gave up on cable TV more than 10 years ago and I can assure you have never looked back. They only transmit programs for the mentally impaired these days (all channels).
Lots of love from nepal. We people from mountains are same despite of different countries. We follow same lifestyle , same traditions and the most important is our place is more or less heaven
My father who is 84 years missed his pagri home town,he couldn't recognise his home town . He wanted to see the khambu hotspring ,which he had visited in his childhood days but it was not shown. anyways thank you very much
It always amazed me that no matter where I was in China, in the countryside or on a mountain, I always had perfect 4G. Even in a small country like the Netherlands there are patches when taking the train where there is basically no mobile internet.
I am from Sikkim, India.. There were so many cultural similarities between Yadong and Sikkim as shown in the video.. i was hoping you would show the mountains of sikkim from the border.
Watching this from Sikkim, India, I had the opportunity to work in an area that shared a border with China. Every time my work took me to the line separating these two great nations, I never saw any traces of habitation on the other side, and I often wondered about the people and their lifestyles there. Your videos have answered all my unanswered questions. In the end, I must say that life on the other side isn't very different from ours-their food, houses, and emotions are strikingly similar to what we have here. Thank you.
Hello, I am from Bhutan 🇧🇹 we use to hear from our elders Phagri is one of the trade routes and small town where Bhutan and Tibetans trade. Thank you for showing us the unseen side.
@@littlechineseeverywhere incredible footage as always. I really enjoy your videos. I’m concerned about the monkeys. If they get too tame, they can do a lot of damage to property. For example, food businesses and food stands, how do they manage to keep these monkeys away? I’m very curious about that!
I hope China could speed up development of the furthest part of Tibet province. I see many infrastructure upgrades in rural area that truly benefited the Tibetans. It also enable you guys to venture into such beautiful unspoiled locations which otherwise would have left undiscovered. Thanks for the interesting unplanned interactions with the friendly locals.
Here's the translation in English: In the past 70 years, the central Chinese government has invested a total of 1.63 trillion yuan in Tibet. Are you still not satisfied? Do you think the money comes to us Han people out of thin air? Moreover, in the next 12 years, China will continue to invest in Tibet by constructing a 300 billion railway project. The national power grid will invest 46.6 billion, Lhasa city's key projects will have an investment of 161.9 billion, and the planned investment for the Yarlung Tsangpo River super hydropower station is expected to exceed 1 trillion.
Same here. I have heard so many description. I used to imagine and my imagination is exactly the same in this video. Sadly I was expecting some tsangpa language but it’s full of Chinese language. Happy to see the place but sad to hear only Chinese language from the locals there.
Hi Yan ! What An Incredible Adventure! Many Thanks For All Your Time and Efforts in Showing Us This Beautiful Part of China. You Take Care and Be Happy ! Note → I Will Be in China From 18 October Till 12 November 2023 Visiting Kunming and Guilin ! Have Fun ! Fernando
watching from Bhutan, yes the house is similar to Bhutanese architecture the only difference is the windows. Tibet and Bhutan have so much history together. Hope one day relations normalizes. and Hope you will visit Bhutan one day.
@@jamesrowlands8971 yes some youths are leaving but most of them are leaving for further studies. I am back to Bhutan after studying 4 yrs abroad and will continue to live in Bhutan 🇧🇹. I have realised the value and importance of My home country after living 4 yrs abroad. And yes now the government is trying all their best to cater the needs of the people, by the command of His Majesty, there is a major transformation going in Bhutan. Life in Bhutan is simple and content ✌🏻. Hope you are doing good too.
🎉been watching your Tibet series lately. It’s great. Seeing the border towns of Tibet as I am from Bhutan 🇧🇹. You can visit Bhutan through Bhutanese travel agents only and the government has a royalty added to cost. It’s pretty steep but it’s done to preserve environment and culture.🎉🎉
@@songhanshan9843 Bhutan 🇧🇹 and China 🇨🇳 border has been closed since 1959. Although border patrols of both countries do meet at the border. It’s a peaceful border as there are no inhabitants living on the border due to the cold.
@@Justin-x4z Bhutan is closer to Lhasa, Phari, Shigatse than Nepal but because of diplomatic relations Bhutanese have to travel all the way to Nepal to visit Tibet. Being a small country for centuries, our defense is looked after by India. As long as there is tension between China and India, I am not sure diplomatic relations coming soon.

What a fabulous town to people who are very friendly, especially Tbeten Monks n mysterious border town between Sikim ,Bhutan ,India.great for the awesome infor
Love your blogs !! This house is same to traditional Bhutanese(Bhutan) house. The cornices above windows and door shown is mandatory in every Bhutanese house and the function of ground floor till the top is same. Visit Bhutan too - love from Bhutan
That's because Bhutanese architecture and a lot of other things are derived from Tibet with slight adjustments here and there right from the Gho to the dzongs
Once again thank you very much for sharing the unique video of a lovely place which otherwise is beyond our reach. Looking forward to the next one. Well done Yan.!!
What a great place on this sordid earth where you can talk to strangers and they invite you in to see their homes and offer sustenance! I only dream places still exist where strangers exist among each others such as this!
Thank you for showing Yadong County. My ancestral home is in Chumbi in the Chumbi Valley. Thank you for showing that lady and her house. The lady with the distinctive turquoise earrings signifies that she is from Tromo community. It makes me feel nostalgic. Also, your earlier video on Kagyu Monastery was impressive. Love your vlogs. Aloha from Maui, Hawaii.
Hello from Bhutan! I heard lot about Phagri eversince I was old enough to understand stories shared by my grandparents. It fascinated me, and it still does dreaming of one fine day soaking up bustling Phari energy meeting people of four countries: Bhutan, Nepal, India and China. Thank you for virtually taking me there at least for now. Best wishes from Bhutan🇧🇹
Thank you for sharing these incredible slices of life. Your photography & editing are so professional. I hope we see you making full length documentaries one day!
Thank you for that beautiful morning in Tibet Yadong. Doesn't matter its map is China, Bhutan or India. Its uniquely Tibetan in culture. 🙏 🙏 Tashi delek, Namaste, from across the Himalayas, India
You're doing such a great job of portraying this region so far! I especially like how you focus on the people inhabiting the place and show their way of life. I've always travelled to learn about how other people live and these videos are great for me to learn more about the places I haven't managed to visit myself (yet)
As an Indian from Arunachal I really pray and hope that the border conflicts get resolved as I want to visit china so much but as an Arunachali we can’t 😢
You can visit China. Just get a visa and book for your flight. A Large Indian population lives in China. Ordinary Chinese people don't care about politics. You visit Tibet aswell. Go to Beijing, Get a tour guide and go. A lot of Indian vloggers have already been to Tibet with their Indian visas and nobody has any issue with it
@@metungyangfo7378 * : Still you can visit China by Indian Passport but it should be issued from Arunachal pradesh and indicate the place of residential Address lol or wait till Arunachal Pradesh merge in China after 5 to 10 years only lol .

Yan - Thank you very much again for sharing your experience on this video. This journey has been amazing, enlightening and resourceful. Take care and keep well. ❤
I love watching your channel. Great content. Thank you for showing us all the small towns which are not opened to tourists generally. Love to see their cultures and the ease with which you blend in with the locals. And of course, that lovely smile of yours. Keep up the good work!!
Yan, the more I watch your videos the more I see how awesome you and your work are! Keep on doing these reports, Yan. I hope many more people will find you and subscribe to your channel. You deserve millions of subs, girl!
Lots of love from Pasighat, Arunachal Pradesh,India. I always enjoy watching your videos. Yes this sort of house are available in India in Leh Ladakh region, Jammu and Kashmir, Sikkim and some parts of Arunachal Pradesh in Tawang and Bomdila regions.
I want to say that I am so very thankful for your channel. You're very brave and very strong. Much gratitude. May you and yours continue to have many safe, amazing and fun adventures. Take care.
My friend is Tibet migrant who is settled here at our place Arunachal. He is literally the most silent guy in our group. I wish someday I'll be able to visit his place(Tibet).
Largest land grabbing is done by China. They started in 1951 and gulped the whole nation of Tibet within 10 years 1959. By 60 years they have re written the whole history of Tibet and pretends they have been in Tibet since many years. Look at the TH-camr finding hard to breath in Tibet. 😅
This is the place where my great grandfather lived for more than 60 years. He & whole family settled there in phari(they originally came from Paro). But in 1959, They all came back to Bhutan 🇧🇹 again.. he always wear gho like Tibetans.. he had a deep love for Tibetans.. he shared a lot of wonderful memories of Tibet. 🙏
Hi Yan, Just finished watching S1 and S2. Truly enjoy every single episode. I really appreciate your genuine effort in showing us amazing landscape, culture and livelihood of local people in places so different from where I am. I can't wait to see ŵhere you will take us in the next episode. Thank you.
You go to most remote places which many of us will never have the chance to visit thanks for showing us the the deepest part of life in far away land Yan you are the best ❤
The Buddha's teaching transcends all teachings. It is much more than a philosophy. It cannot be comprehended by the ordinary minds. Only the Buddha himself understands and has the capability to spread his teaching. Yes, we will have to wait for the next Buddha to appear for us to truly learn his teaching. What is left of Buddhism are merely fragments and incomplete. But it does give us a little peek.
Fantastic! Your itinerary has been very carefully chosen. You have very painstakingly delineated the cultural richness of the Himalayan region. Take care of you, as high altitude is taking a toll on your health. Good job. Thanks.
The old house definitely resembles to a bhutanese farm house and the one piece wooden ladder is still being used in most parts of Bhutan. Pagri / Phari (Phari tern is popular to Bhutanese not Pagri) was one of the popular trading hub between Bhutan and Tibet during my grand parents time. The caterpillar Fungus known as Cordyceps is also found in the northern part of Bhutan. If you travel to Tingri closer to Nepal then you will find similar such farm houses.
Great episode, Yan. So good to see the respect and friendliness of your interactions with the locals. And great to hear your friend’s interest in Tibetan Buddhism. Western viewers who hold misperceptions of Chinese government suppression of religious freedom should lay to rest!
I’am from Bhutan . Good to know about the ancient border town Phari , where people from Paro and Haa especially visited Phari Tibet for trade . We also have a village called Phari in Paro near the Tibet . Few Bhutanese traders still smuggle things into Bhutan from Phari Tibet . The house structure shown in Yadong represents similar designs to those in Bhutan . We usually have 3 floors traditionally. Ground floor for domesticated animals, second floor for grain storage and third as the main residence. Thank you for covering and giving me the glimpse of how the Tibet border town is Kadrinche (Thank you)
Wow, you channel continues to astound me. Fungus caterpillars?? You know The Last of Us just came out right? :P Also incredible to see the traditional home. Keep the videos coming!
One promising young athlete has her career ended because a good intention relative gave her a gift of the stuff. Banned substances were found in test, and because of strict rules, she was banned for life. It’s very unfair to the poor girl because she didn’t intentionally violate the rules. I was really angry because in the west, athletes who are deliberately cheating, but when caught, they can only be given 2 years suspension. They are rich stars, can sit out the ban and can sue for lost of earnings if their careers are too much affected. A poor country girl bright future was ruined however, because of wrong time and wrong place.
Really appreciate on the video which is briefly discribe and covered all.. I was quite fascinated with those house and the trading between bhutan and tibet so called lasa..i heard when i was kid, our Bhutanese those who lives in hight lander had travel frequently for bussiness trade and do bata system..now i didn't heard how it is moving.... House are same like we do have in bhutan ..old traditional house.. almost now it is replace by new modern aminites here.. Anyhow keep updating us and i wish in near future you can travel Bhutan too.. Small county happy people..rich in cultural and Traditional..
to be frank, Yadong are shown by lots of videos, but most of them are in Chinese becasue vloggers are Chinese, and Chinese related information are limited in most west media platform if they show some harmony aspect of China
Bhutanese architecture is distinct and characterized by the use of traditional materials, intricate woodwork, and decorative elements. Bhutanese houses typically feature steep gable roofs with wooden shingles and are known for their colourful paintings and carvings. In China, architectural styles vary across different regions and are influenced by geography, climate, local culture, and historical periods. While there may be some architectural similarities in houses near the China-Bhutan border due to shared influences, it is inaccurate to say that everything looks the same in Bhutanese and Chinese border houses. Bhutan and China's cultural identities and architectural traditions contribute to unique characteristics in their respective architectural styles.

Loved your border series, prior to the closure of the border with Sikkim India, I use to often visit Rinchengang, Yadong for trade….. sadly the borders are closed and it’s a huge loss to both the countries, we are patiently waiting for it to reopen. Yadong along the Chumbi Valley right up to Phari use to be under the kingdom of Sikkim. Many people from this region have migrated and is now settled in Sikkim.
I'm not aware of Arunachal Pradesh historically belonging to Sikkim as you stated, however I do know that Sikkim was once an independent state before being annexed by India. This is precisely what Bhutan is worried about happening to them now.

@@9thGuy We are of the same race, look alike, and the integration of you into India is only due to the colonial policy of the British. We hope the people of the NE states lead a good life. Welcome to China and see your brothers and sisters here.
Don't know much about this place but Bhutan is like a real paradise on earth.i have been to few countries like UAE, Thailand, Saudi Arabia & Singapore.but after watching videos about Bhutan?I really wish that instead of visiting all those countries i only visit carbon negative Bhutan!!!Extremely beautiful lush green & peaceful country.So peaceful that they don't even have an army.❤❤❤
We call such old houses as Bhutia Houses. It is common to find such houses in Sikkim and here in Kalimpong (near by sikkim , india) as well For your information, let us tell you that people of Tibetan, Bhutanese and Sikkimese origin are called Bhutias in India.
Because in ancient times, Sikkim, Bhutan, Ladakh, and southern Tibet were all part of Tibet, China. The flag of Bhutan is similar to the flag of the Qing Dynasty of China. The Yellow Dragon Flag is the totem of the Chinese nation, the flag of China's Qing Dynasty is a five-clawed dragon, and the flag of Bhutan is a three-clawed dragon. There is a saying in ancient China: "The emperor has five claws, the princes have four claws, and the ministers have three claws." It is said that there are two versions of the name "Bhutan". The first version was heard by the British from Indians, and the British transliterated it as Bhutan, which means a corner of Tibet; another version is that Bhutan is a country established by Tibetans. Pinyin: Zuggyü, Chinese translation is 竺巴, which means descendant of dragon or thunder dragon. There are 7 branches of Tibetans, and Butiya is only one branch of Tibetans, and the language they use is also a dialect of Tibetan (it is said that there is no need for an interpreter when talking to Tibetan tourists when traveling in Tibet, China). The current Tibetan population in China exceeds 7 million. Welcome everyone to travel and make friends in China.
China is the place the world need to see,learn and understand. Truly amazing country with lots of diversity and surely a super power in the making. Thank you for the beautiful dairy keep going.
BTW pepper chill soup is a special food in Henan Province of China. It's really really delicious! (From a Henan native who lives in New Zealand at present. I really miss my hometown's pepper chill soup)
Tibet is like a different planet.
I found Tibet very mysterious and beautiful.

Hello from Bhutan 🇧🇹! I just watched your video about the popular trading destination of Phagri, and I must say it was incredibly informative and fascinating. Thank you for sharing your travels with us!
It's amazing to see how our past ancestors engaged in vibrant trading in Phagri, and I feel a sense of connection and pride in our shared history. The world is full of diverse cultures and rich heritage, and it's heartwarming to witness how technology allows us to explore and appreciate these ancient routes from afar.
I truly wish that we could have the opportunity to interact and travel in this reality.
Sending warm wishes from Bhutan for more exciting travels and discoveries in the future!
I truly enjoyed my visit to Tibet earlier this year but would loved to have traveled with you guys to these unseen areas. Thank you so much for your videos.
Hello from the US. I love watching your channel! I have learned so much about Asian culture from you. And the scenery, especially the drone footage, is absolutely breathtaking! You are an amazing young woman, and I feel honored and blessed that I know you through your adventures!
Greetings from Bhutan 🇧🇹
Finally much awaited video is out again. Throughly enjoyed and so happy to see you guys interested in my country.
Also I wish and pray your friend find his precious master soon 🙏🏻

Beautiful China forever
Can your visits get any more exotic than this?? Feeding those amazing monkeys, exploring the once beautiful old house, caterpillar fungus (oh my!) & talking with Tibetan monks about their study, WOW!
Honestly I did not find it a good idea to feed the monkeys. First they will reproduce unlimited and second will become agressive beggars. From a certain point on unfortunately the local authorities will have to control the population by poisoning or hunting. Do not interfere with nature is the best solution.
It gives me immense pleasure to see Chinese vlogger conversing in English and subtitles
That was amazing. With love from India. May India - China Friendship Strengthen!

I watch your vlog all the time and enjoy your travels. Your visit to Pagri was truly interesting and informative. In the olden days, Pagri was a thriving trading town and many Bhutanese used to travel there to trade including my late father-in-law.
Sister I’m from Bhutan, I enjoyed your vlog sending love from here ❤❤ 🇧🇹
As always, a video that well surpasses national geographic channel. After subscribing to your channel I have learn so much about so many things about China.
Share it with the people close to you just to prevent future conflicts driven by politicians
Whith what the National Geographic channel has turned into, that's not that difficult. It's the reason why I gave up on cable TV more than 10 years ago and I can assure you have never looked back. They only transmit programs for the mentally impaired these days (all channels).
Lots of love from nepal. We people from mountains are same despite of different countries. We follow same lifestyle , same traditions and the most important is our place is more or less heaven
My father who is 84 years missed his pagri home town,he couldn't recognise his home town .
He wanted to see the khambu hotspring ,which he had visited in his childhood days but it was not shown.
anyways thank you very much
At highest point, they still have internet🎉
Are you surprised? China's growth in the last 50 years has been remarkable.
That's why the US is afraid of Huawei.
Both fiber broadband and wireless ones are available
It always amazed me that no matter where I was in China, in the countryside or on a mountain, I always had perfect 4G. Even in a small country like the Netherlands there are patches when taking the train where there is basically no mobile internet.
You are also covered at 345 km per hour in High Speed Train.😂
I am from Sikkim, India.. There were so many cultural similarities between Yadong and Sikkim as shown in the video.. i was hoping you would show the mountains of sikkim from the border.
Their dialect is also identical. Similarly, the Haapa people of Bhutan.

Yes Sikkim had a very cordial relationship with Tibet.
@@MatlabChaina what happened to Sikkim? where is the King?
@DordDord1206 Sikkim had a legitimate referendum. The act of occupying was done by CCP controlled China on Tibet, Manchuria, east Turkestan and Yunan.
Watching this from Sikkim, India, I had the opportunity to work in an area that shared a border with China. Every time my work took me to the line separating these two great nations, I never saw any traces of habitation on the other side, and I often wondered about the people and their lifestyles there. Your videos have answered all my unanswered questions. In the end, I must say that life on the other side isn't very different from ours-their food, houses, and emotions are strikingly similar to what we have here. Thank you.
Hello, I am from Bhutan 🇧🇹 we use to hear from our elders Phagri is one of the trade routes and small town where Bhutan and Tibetans trade. Thank you for showing us the unseen side.

I’m concerned about the monkeys. If they get too tame, they can do a lot of damage to property. For example, food businesses and food stands, how do they manage to keep these monkeys away? I’m very curious about that!
你们印度的北方有些地区也不向中国人开放啊。还有最近有大量印度博主来中国旅游，据说同时期印度拒签很多中国人去印度。有一位嫁给印度人的中国女士也被拒签，后来没办法她的印度丈夫又来中国和她团聚。我觉得在中印关系上，两个国家都要有成熟的大国心态。不管两国出什么问题，随意切断两国普通人民的交往，这样的政府太不成熟。

当中国在建设新疆时，西方媒体说我们在破坏新疆人地方😂
China already constructed infrastructure of Tibet so fast.
Here's the translation in English:
In the past 70 years, the central Chinese government has invested a total of 1.63 trillion yuan in Tibet. Are you still not satisfied? Do you think the money comes to us Han people out of thin air? Moreover, in the next 12 years, China will continue to invest in Tibet by constructing a 300 billion railway project. The national power grid will invest 46.6 billion, Lhasa city's key projects will have an investment of 161.9 billion, and the planned investment for the Yarlung Tsangpo River super hydropower station is expected to exceed 1 trillion.

The Buddha's teaching transcends all teachings. It is much more than a philosophy. It cannot be comprehended by the ordinary minds. Only the Buddha himself understands and has the capability to spread his teaching. Yes, we will have to wait for the next Buddha to appear for us to truly learn his teaching. What is left of Buddhism are merely fragments and incomplete. But it does give us a little peek.
Fantastic!

Hi greeting from Bhutan, I'm so happy to watch your videos, so most welcome to Bhutan in the future, you can come directly from Nepal.
Bhutan safe for Chinese? Bhutan is pro-India
The old house was amazing, one can only imagine what t must of been like in its heyday.
Thank you Yan again. Without you I will never know all these places
The old house definitely resembles to a bhutanese farm house and the one piece wooden ladder is still being used in most parts of Bhutan. Pagri / Phari (Phari tern is popular to Bhutanese not Pagri) was one of the popular trading hub between Bhutan and Tibet during my grand parents time. The caterpillar Fungus known as Cordyceps is also found in the northern part of Bhutan. If you travel to Tingri closer to Nepal then you will find similar such farm houses.
Btw is there any word called "Tangla" in Bhutanese?
I love granny’s from the country side. So kind and sweet.
Great episode, Yan. So good to see the respect and friendliness of your interactions with the locals. And great to hear your friend’s interest in Tibetan Buddhism. Western viewers who hold misperceptions of Chinese government suppression of religious freedom should lay to rest!
I’am from Bhutan . Good to know about the ancient border town Phari , where people from Paro and Haa especially visited Phari Tibet for trade .
We also have a village called Phari in Paro near the Tibet . Few Bhutanese traders still smuggle things into Bhutan from Phari Tibet .
The house structure shown in Yadong represents similar designs to those in Bhutan .
We usually have 3 floors traditionally. Ground floor for domesticated animals, second floor for grain storage and third as the main residence.
Thank you for covering and giving me the glimpse of how the Tibet border town is
Kadrinche (Thank you)

Wow, you channel continues to astound me. Fungus caterpillars?? You know The Last of Us just came out right? :P Also incredible to see the traditional home. Keep the videos coming!
Cordyceps
One promising young athlete has her career ended because a good intention relative gave her a gift of the stuff.
Banned substances were found in test, and because of strict rules, she was banned for life. It’s very unfair to the poor girl because she didn’t intentionally violate the rules. I was really angry because in the west, athletes who are deliberately cheating, but when caught, they can only be given 2 years suspension. They are rich stars, can sit out the ban and can sue for lost of earnings if their careers are too much affected. A poor country girl bright future was ruined however, because of wrong time and wrong place.

to be frank, Yadong are shown by lots of videos, but most of them are in Chinese becasue vloggers are Chinese, and Chinese related information are limited in most west media platform if they show some harmony aspect of China

Bhutanese architecture is distinct and characterized by the use of traditional materials, intricate woodwork, and decorative elements. Bhutanese houses typically feature steep gable roofs with wooden shingles and are known for their colourful paintings and carvings. In China, architectural styles vary across different regions and are influenced by geography, climate, local culture, and historical periods. While there may be some architectural similarities in houses near the China-Bhutan border due to shared influences, it is inaccurate to say that everything looks the same in Bhutanese and Chinese border houses. Bhutan and China's cultural identities and architectural traditions contribute to unique characteristics in their respective architectural styles.
You are very fortunate to be able to visit these places...

We call such old houses as Bhutia Houses. It is common to find such houses in Sikkim and here in Kalimpong (near by sikkim , india) as well
For your information, let us tell you that people of Tibetan, Bhutanese and Sikkimese origin are called Bhutias in India.
Yes they are called bhutias or bhotays...it is from that term that the name bhutan came from
Because in ancient times, Sikkim, Bhutan, Ladakh, and southern Tibet were all part of Tibet, China. The flag of Bhutan is similar to the flag of the Qing Dynasty of China. The Yellow Dragon Flag is the totem of the Chinese nation, the flag of China's Qing Dynasty is a five-clawed dragon, and the flag of Bhutan is a three-clawed dragon. There is a saying in ancient China: "The emperor has five claws, the princes have four claws, and the ministers have three claws." It is said that there are two versions of the name "Bhutan". The first version was heard by the British from Indians, and the British transliterated it as Bhutan, which means a corner of Tibet; another version is that Bhutan is a country established by Tibetans. Pinyin: Zuggyü, Chinese translation is 竺巴, which means descendant of dragon or thunder dragon. There are 7 branches of Tibetans, and Butiya is only one branch of Tibetans, and the language they use is also a dialect of Tibetan (it is said that there is no need for an interpreter when talking to Tibetan tourists when traveling in Tibet, China). The current Tibetan population in China exceeds 7 million. Welcome everyone to travel and make friends in China.
