The Qingzang road, 1,937 km long at an average altitude of 4,200 m, leads to Lhasa in Chinese Tibet. Starting out from Xining, an interesting mixture of Tibetan, Islamic, and Han cultures, the camera crew passes through the beautiful town of Golmud, dubbed the ‟Pearl in the Gobi,‟ Namucuo Lake, which means the ‟Heavenly Lake,‟ the Kunlun Mountains, where snow falls even in summer, and other stunning places, before finally arriving in Lhasa. This magnificent travel documentary shows the lives of Chinese people and the myriad faces of the nature including scenes of areas where reporting by foreigners had not been permitted. (Source: NHK)
