Motorway to Tibet

Sun, Mar 13, 2016

The River Yangtze flows along the mountain sides of the Himalayas before taking a sharp turn in the direction of Shanghai. In this area, we should still be able to find the authentic China, but for a huge motorway that was constructed here five years ago and is responsible for the rapid development of the remote district. This has great consequences for the minorities that live here, such as the Miao and the Tibetans. Ruben lives among them and discovers ancient traditions and customs, such as local traditional medicine and ritual funerals, which slowly seem to be disappearing. Modern China advances, but how do these minorities feel about that themselves?
