In Shannan, Xizang, there is an ancient village known as the "First Village of Tibetan Opera" —Zhaxi Qoiden.

Here, the Zhaxi Xioba Tibetan Opera, with a history of over 600 years, is making its way from the highland countryside to the national stage, embracing a new era of breakthrough and renewal. By day, the villagers farm and herd; by night, they put on their masks and beat the drums, becoming inheritors of this intangible cultural heritage. Tibetan opera is not just an ancient art form — it is their daily faith and the continuation of their way of life.

Join CGTN host Shanny as she steps into this mysterious and romantic village, and through the rhythm of drums and dance, feel the pulse of a thousand-year-old culture being reborn.
