Valley of the Gods (3) | The Hidden Village of Gongka at the End of the Valley
In southwestern China, on the eastern edge of the Himalayas, at the foot of the snow-capped Biluo Mountains, the snow melts, flowers bloom, and spring arrives quietly.
On the highlands on either side of the valley lie the traditional villages of the Nu people.
This area lies on the border between Yunnan and Tibet, and is the northernmost point of Christian influence in the Nujiang River valley.
Amidst the embrace of the mountains, the people maintain a traditional way of life combining agriculture and animal husbandry.
Step into this almost isolated village—Gongka—and feel its unique peace and strength.
