Into Tibet 2020: Encountering Precious and Rare Animals in Naqu

Nagqu City in Tibet is a crucial component of the region's ecological shelter zone. It is also home to many precious and rare animals. Among the three teams of the "Into Tibet 2020" project, team Red took an adventure to the north, passing by Shuanghu County, Xainza County and Baingoin County, reaching the Changtang Plateau. They have captured many memorable moments on the way encountering wild yaks, Tibetan antelopes, kiangs, black-necked cranes among others.
