The Kokonor Nomads: Life on Tibet’s Rooftop over 10,000 Feet High | SLICE

Описание: High in the Tibetan Plateau of northwestern China, at over 10,000 feet above sea level, lies Qinghai Lake—also known as Kokonor, the sacred "Blue Sea." Surrounded by the towering Kunlun Mountains, its shimmering waters reflect not only the vast sky, but centuries of nomadic life.

Here, Tibetan nomads follow a way of life untouched by time. With deep spiritual roots in Buddhism, they migrate with the seasons, herding yaks and sheep across open grasslands. For them, Kokonor is more than a lake—it is a living being, a protector, a sacred mirror of the soul.

In this remote corner of the world, the bond between people and nature is raw, intimate, and profoundly moving. This is not just a way of life—it’s a spiritual journey, passed down through generations.
