For thousands of years, people along the Dulong River located in a remote valley of southwest China's Yunnan Province have been successfully coexisting with nature. The secret lies in the details of their everyday life. Instead of felling trees for timber, they intercept driftwood carried by the river from upstream. They also adopt a sustainable way of beekeeping by "renting" live trees to bees. Watch this episode to learn more about their nature-based lifestyle.
About Journeys in Nature: Timeless Valley Series
Dulongjiang, known as the "last uncharted land in Yunnan," is a deep valley on China's southwestern border between the Hengduan Mountains and the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau. The place was once shrouded in mystery, until a highway connecting the valley to the outside world was fully opened in 2014. In this series, CGTN Nature takes you on a ride to unveil the incredible fauna and flora, as well as the minority Dulong people who call this place home!
