Live: Cloud-kissed Namcha Barwa, 'a long lance piercing the sky' in Tibetan
Namcha Barwa stands as the majestic eastern anchor of the Himalayas, towering at 7,782 meters above sea level. Known as the "Shy Maiden Peak" for its snow-cloaked triangular peak often veiled in clouds, and meaning "a long lance piercing the sky" in Tibetan, this awe-inspiring giant rises grandly at the junction of the Himalayas, Nyenchen Tanglha and Hengduan Mountains.
As we mark the 75th anniversary of China's Xizang Autonomous Region’s peaceful liberation, CGTN invites you to discover Namcha Barwa—a peak shrouded in clouds year-round, where "nine out of ten visitors fail to catch a glimpse of its true face." Beyond its natural grandeur, there are also the quiet villages at the foot of the mountain and the people living a happy life, bringing you the gentle transformation of Xizang over seven and a half decades.
