Our new Tibetan family | Nomadic Life in Western China (含中文字幕)

We traveled to the AMAZING area of Gansu in Western China. We went to the town of Langmusi which borders both Gansu and Sichuan provinces to explore the beautiful scenery, see what like is like for an Amdo Tibetan family, and experience nomadic life for ourselves.
We were joined by our friend ‪@thecubbages‬ who is super knowledgeable about this area. He also runs adventure travel tours here that focus on ethical and community-based tourism.

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

[@fannyalbi9040]

it is like saying i prefer to live in rural then my life must be sad and miserable 😂

[@ffatboy88]

you are indeed.

[@katrinlausch3078]

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

[@relaxwhc]

Great. Germany has nice milk, I love Weihenstephan milk ❤️❤️❤️

[@Nicofilms]

Thanks a lot! I don’t drink much milk anyway so it all kind of tastes the same to me haha the landscape was amazing. It was an amazing trip!

[@Mariobrownio1989]

[@thecubbages]

Dope Video, Jack and Nico! You guys were a blast to host in Gansu! Can not wait to do it again in western China!

看到9：06的景色时，脑海里突然涌现出南北朝民歌里写得“天似穹庐，笼盖四野。天苍苍，野茫茫，风吹草低见牛羊。”，让人心胸开阔的美景。

[@louisethonvison4669]

Thank you Nico👏👏👏! Gansu is one of my favourite places in China, old, rural, traditional, diverse with Hui muslim and Tibetan villages, also fantastic Buddhist caves and archeological ruins both of Han Chinese heritage. 🙏🙏🙏

[@Nicofilms]

Yes it was really amazing I can’t wait to go back.

[@hangzeng1491]

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

[@user-nz5qj6lc4m]

[@elvinccw]

So glad you guys had a knowledgeable person like Ben as a guide. Some of the backdrops looked like the Scottish Highlands. :D

I know he was great! Haha I actually thought the exact same it was amazing.

[@doloreschien4621]

This is a super anthropological lesson for me, an 89 old woman with asthma all my life. My poor lungs will never adjust to that attitude. I am so very grateful to three of you. Your explanation is clear and precise. The shots are equally clear and precise. Every word and photo is easily absorbed by this old brain too. Absolutely educational and enjoyable ! Thank You all ! May God protect you always! 謝謝🙏！錢鏡澄敬上

[@iamcanadianedmonton]

beautiful drone shot 👍👍👍. nomadic life is probably vanishing all over the world, nomadic life is just too hard 😢😢😢. i can't go to Tibet due to old age and high blood pressure. but I certainly do plan to go to Gansu and Sichuan to see it for myself. it is the next best thing. love from Canada.
