The last settlement in Tibet before Bhutan, altitude 5070m, the highest human settlement in the world​

A very small village sitting right on the border between China and Bhutan, it's so barren, nothing grows there and people are feeling short of breath all the time.

This village has just 38 households , total population are around 150. All the houses are the same cookie cutter constructions built and given to them for free by the government, they don't have to pay a cent.

Life is so harsh there and the vlogger asks them why they didn't move down to a lower and humanly hospitable place, they say they are used to this place and their families lived there for many generations.

China Nepal border, everywhere is under construction on the Chinese side, kingdergartens, middle schools, residential houses, the locals say they all will move into the new village once the construction is finished. The local villagers are all ethnic Sherpas.

On the Nepalese side of the slope we only see some obscure thatch and wooden houses, no noticeable buildings.

Some of those people moved from high elevation to lower lands near Bhutan, the Chinese government built some new settlements on lower lands next to the Bhutanese border, environment there looks much better than the OP one.

Western media also reports about China's " ghost towns" , but the truth is China always plans ahead and builds new towns and neighbors with all the supporting facilities, the new towns won't take people until everything is finished and functions are tested. Just as the villagers tell the vlogger in this video, they could only move in when all the facilities are finished, kingdergartens, middle schools, hospitals...

Visiting Mishmi (Deng) tribe sitting on China India border and ask them how they think of India


Visiting Mishmi (Deng) tribe sitting on China India border and ask them how they think of India, there are 1000 of them live in China, 50,000 in India occupied south Tibet.

The Deng guy in the video tells the vlogger that his ethnicity on the Chinese ID card says "unindentified" so sometime when he travels to other parts of China people may think he is using a fake ID card. Because they have only 1000 people, Chinese government doesn't recognize them are a seperate ethnic group in China and now Deng people try to use social media to let more people know about their people and get the official recognition by the government of their seperate of distinct ethnicity.

As for Deng people living in India, the guy in the video says they like how Deng people in India side preserve the Deng culture due to their much larger population, they perserve nicely about their national costumes, traditional songs and handcraft making due to their much bigger population, but Deng people on the other side envy the standard of living that Chinese Deng people enjoy, cause Deng people in China enjoy a way way higher standard of living.

In the end the guy talks about the houses in this tribe village, all those house are newly built with the government subsidies, the house subsidy standard is around $20,000 US dollars per house.

Aerial Photography on the Border of China and Bhutan, The Tibetan Liberation Army Came to Warn

Actually in the video the vloggers say the jeep coming close and talking to them are not PLA, they are local Tibetans, they just came to tell vloggers that they can use drones to film there but not further ahead cause they'll be reaching the border line.
In the end of video they visited the last Tibetan small town before Bhutan.
