Features: Vast and boundless western China, a hidden life is led by some peculiar tribal communities. Their origins are shrouded in mystery, their traditional customs are strange yet pure, and their lifestyles are rugged and enigmatic. They wear a legendary halo, holding fast to their unique tribal myths amidst the tide of modern civilization. Let us experience the mystery and awe brought by these unique tribes—such as the Tuvans, the Lopos, the Flame Mountains people, and the Dawa people—and explore the beauty of primitiveness and the wonders of nature. In the village of the Dawa people, people live in harmony, like one family. If a guest comes to someone's home, neighbors will all go to visit and take turns hosting them with warm hospitality, as if the villagers' relatives are "public." Many villages still follow ancient customs to this day, where people leave nothing on the road and never lock their doors at night. The indigenous Lopos do not grow crops or raise livestock, so they do not understand how to eat grains or the meat of beasts. Grilled fish is their only delicacy. The Lopos eat grilled fish without salt or any other seasonings, yet it is incredibly delicious. The Lopos also have the habit of eating raw fish. Sometimes, if they find grilled fish too troublesome, they will go to the river, catch a fish, and eat it raw.
