Features: Nyingchi, the Throne of the Sun
Nyingchi, located in the southeastern part of Tibet and downstream of the Yarlung Tsangpo River, means "the treasure of the sun" in Tibetan. In the eyes of Tibetans, it is the place closest to the rising sun. Nyingchi, with its majestic snow-capped peaks and deep gorges intertwined with intersecting rivers and lakes, showcases the grandeur of the plateau and the beauty of the Jiangnan water towns, perfectly blending pristine natural scenery with traditional folk customs. Here, there is the world's Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon and the world's 15th-highest peak, Namcha Barwa. Here, there is the world's largest vertical topographic distribution, with well-preserved primeval forests and an exceptionally rich gene pool of flora and fauna. Unique geographical features have painted Nyingchi as a paradise on earth with snow-capped mountains, clear waters, deep gorges, lush ancient trees, and fragrant fruits and flowers.
With an average elevation of only 3,100 meters, Nyingchi is the lowest-altitude region in Tibet. On its 117,000 square kilometers of land, more than 10 ethnic groups, including Tibetans, Monba, Lhoba, Dulong, Naxi, Lisu, and Nu, along with the Pumi people, live together, with a total population of 200,000. Even as people call our planet the "Global Village," Nyingchi still has Mato County, the only county in the country without road access. The relatively isolated environment has preserved the traditional customs, lifestyles, and religious beliefs of each ethnic group, along with their unique dwellings, festivals, and dances.
Legend has it that Princess Wencheng crossed the Yarlung Tsangpo River and passed through Gongbo (the old name of Nyingchi) to enter Tibet, leaving behind many legendary tales. Historically, Nyingchi was also renowned as a preserve of Bon, Tibet's original religion. The unique geographical environment, traditional folk customs, ancient legends, and mysterious religious myths have cast a primal yet enigmatic aura over Nyingchi, creating its beauty and magic while sustaining a harmonious coexistence between humans and nature.
In fact, Nyingchi is not unfamiliar to people from Guangdong and Fujian provinces, as cadres from these provinces have been supporting Nyingchi region. The Deputy Director of the Broadcasting and Television Department of Southern Television also became a member of the fourth batch of cadre teams sent to support the development of broadcasting and television in the Tibetan areas of Nyingchi. In June 2005, at the invitation of the Nyingchi region of Tibet, Southern Television dispatched a large production team to Nyingchi to shoot the large-scale documentary Nyingchi Shambhala and the special program Nyingchi Today. When Southern Television publicly selected members for the production team, over 100 employees volunteered. After a rigorous and serious selection process, eight dedicated team members were chosen from various departments to form the production team.
After intensive preparations, the team set off for Nyingchi in late June 2005. In the Nyingchi region, the team was warmly welcomed by the local people. The Nyingchi Regional Committee, the Nyingchi Regional People's Government, the cadre teams from Guangdong and Fujian, as well as departments such as the Nyingchi Propaganda Department and the Tourism Bureau, attached great importance to the filming and provided strong support in terms of manpower, resources, and funding. With the cooperation of all parties, the production team spent 35 days traveling over 3,000 kilometers, covering almost the entire Nyingchi region. They encountered challenges such as rare landslides, spending the night on snow-capped mountains over 4,000 meters high, visiting the home of Alo Song, the leader of the Pumi people in Xiaochayu, enduring hours of bumpy rides, and interviewing soldiers at a border post near the China-India border. All these experiences, full of challenges and passion, left an unforgettable impression on every team member.
It was this unforgettable sentiment that inspired every member of the production team to create, expressing their observations, experiences, and emotions authentically in the book Listening to the Voice of the Throne of the Sun.，，——、、、、、......，、。，，“”。，；，；，。，，......
