In Shannan, southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region, the crystal-clear Yamdrok Lake has long been home to generations of local residents. In Daobulong Community, 245 families live alongside the sacred lake, preserving their Tibetan traditions while embracing new opportunities.

For Tseji and her family, life by the lake has transformed from an old village home into a thriving Tibetan homestay, built around the region's breathtaking landscapes and cultural heritage.

Today, traditional Tibetan hospitality blends with modern tourism experiences, from stargazing homestays and Tibetan costume activities to a cloud-top cafe at 4,998 meters above sea level. These new attractions are drawing visitors from across the world to experience the beauty, culture and everyday life of the plateau.

Join CGTN host Shanny as she explores the shores of Yamdrok Lake, discovering the warmth of Tibetan village life and the stunning scenery of this sacred land.
