We made it to the ROOF OF THE WORLD! Is Tibet really like what the media says? We can't wait to explore this magical wonderland ourselves and share our experience with you ❤
guys, I am starting to really worry that once you two set foot back on England, they will lock you up in the tower of london for your undoing of their years of works of evil china propoganda.
Thanks for the video, it looks like things are going very well here. I have been to several nearby Central Asian countries, and this city has surpassed many cities in Central Asia.
Wonderful video! I visited Tibet 10 years ago, and congratulations on making the journey. It’s an incredible destination that takes your breath away; I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Happy Days in Tibet.
I would like to go there in Tibet one day but because of some health reason like asthma since I was a kid, I don’t know if it’s a good idea taking the risk. Anyway, thank you Taz and Libby for showing us what Tibet looks like and I hope you are having an amazing time there. This place is amazing. Take care! Cheers!
there is a place in Tibet called Linzhi which is only 2000 meters high I think you might be able to go without causing health concerns. It is very beautiful too.
Oh my God! You made it! Love your vlog! I did watch a lot of videos about Tibet, but your videos have the content that I am interested to know. Tibet is definitely in my bucket list. I'm eager to know how you applied the permit.
So nice to be young. You guys did not seem to have any sign of altitude sickness. I was advised not to go by my doctor when I was 70. I am 74 now so I can only envy and enjoy your videos.
It’s not china travel…. Tibet belongs to Tibetan only since our 14 th dalaï lama is present in India due to political problems between china and Tibet . It’s like British capture India . Please support the world to write Tibet belong to Tibetan but not china
@TseringYangchen-vl7se your 14th da lame lama was funded by the CIA and built a dictatorship. His current obsession seems to be fonderling/engaging sex act with children .Did you not see the videos?
12:38 Just realized what "sun-kissed bucket" in "sun-kissed bucket list" really means for you! It's funny because I've been watching your videos for almost a year, but for some reason when I clicked on your video today I thought, "Why 'sun-kissed' bucket list? A reference to traveling in the tropics? Didn't know it was a pun on your hat! Ha ha!" ;)
Having a local guide makes it much safer. They have a lot of experience in dealing with various situations that may occur in the area. I was worried about you going to Tibet a few days ago, but now I feel relieved!
Wow amazing! Make sure you to Namtso Holy lake and Yamdro lake! They are heavenly beautiful! If you have enough time you can even go to the base camp of Mount Everest, the highest mountain in the world! Enjoy your epic journey in Tibet!

One of my friends rides around Ti-bet on a motorcycle. He told me that the moment he saw the mountain, he couldn't stop tearing from his eyes. That's how he describes the holy and beauty of Ti-bet. I wish you guys could feel the same.
wow your friend got strong pair of lungs to cycle in this part of the world where the air is thin as the region is resting on plateau that is over 3k to 4k high
You are lucky to be able to go to Tibet, thank you for sharing your wonderful adventures. Tibet is like a dream destination for most people, you are awesome! I think Tibet & Nepal are pretty similar but Nepal looks more messy because of its frequent landslides
Nepal is still being badly managed by incompetent politicians and government officials, though in recent years some improvements have been made by China government. Tibet is much better than Nepal because the China central government oversees its operation.
In history, Nepal and Tibet keep having conflict. In Chinese Qing dynasty, Beijing central government even need to fight a war with Nepal in order to protect Tibet.
@nanyanguo1 Correct, this is why Nepal should join China for its own good. Anyway, the current Nepalese govt is cooperating with China which is a good thing, some improvements have been done by China in Nepal, but Nepal has a very long way to go if it remains an American style democracy and is managed by corrupt politicians.
I can't fathom how beautiful the sky looks. It's like it's just in front of your eyes, you don't even have to tilt your head up to see the beauty Truly mesmerising 😲🙀💥💥🌟✨
You two were smart to spend time in Yunnan at elevation before arriving in Lhasa. When I visited summer of 1987 I took the overland route from Qinghai up to Tibet. There were few flights out. We caught a flight to Chengdu. Obviously much has changed and Lhasa now is clearly more developed and wealthy. Tibetans are such friendly people!
So excited for you guys! Tibet is like a hidden chest full of jewels that you can seek for in a video game! You found it! It’s full of natural wonders, wish you guys can check out many of their lakes like Yamdrok Tso Lake, namtso, though it’s gonna be pretty far and takes a long distance on the high way to reach there. Since it’s sparsely populated, yet it’s really because of its isolation from the modern world that kept its natural beauty from disturbed by urbanization and pollution❤
What an incredible adventure! Such a fantastic opportunity to see such a stunning place of natural beauty and history. Reminds me a little of Nepal in terms of environment and Pakistan inside that restaurant.
So glad you two got treated so respectfully with Katak 🙏👏 Welcome back anytime but please take me with you guys as I fled since teenage! 😊 Love from Tibetans.
my ancestor had opened a business branch office in Tibet a long long time ago. His head quarter office was in Kunming, China at that time, he also opened other branch office in Burma. Hope you two has a good time in Tibet.
There are 3 Tibetan section in China , Ando section (including southern Gansu province , west Qinghai province and northwest tip of Sichuan province), Kanba section ( most of the west part of Sichuan province , north part of Yunnan province where Taz and Libby just went ) and the Weizang section that most people outside of China think the Tibet is, Ando and Kanba do not require permission , you can just go there .
An interesting about the sea level: you may can't sure which is the best university in the world, but there is only one answer of the highest -- Tibet University🤠🤠 Enjoy your journey guys! Bring us to more and more amazing place!!
When I was a child, I thought that Tibet was backward in the western part of China. When I went to university, I found that many Tibetans were richer than me, while I came from the eastern part of the country, and my Tibetan classmates in university were much richer than me.
Thank you so much, Libby and Taz for sharing your spectacular trip to Tibet or Xizang, this part of China is so awesome and beautiful with elevation of more than 3000 meters. Looking forward your wonderful videos in Xizang.
Let me use this opportunity to bring awareness to the oppression of Tibetans. No, I am not talking about the Tibetans in China. I am talking about Tibetans in occupied South Tibet, which was annexed by India in 1951 and made a state by India in 1987 to become the so-called Arunachal Pradesh. South Tibet includes Tawang, birthplace of the Sixth Dalai Lama and home to the four hundred years old Tawang Monastery. The Tibetans in occupied South Tibet are fast becoming strangers in their own native homeland because the Indian government is settling Indians in the region to change the demographic structure of the region. The Indians like to mock them, calling them Chinese as a form of insult (sometimes calling them names such as the C* word or the M* word.) Rape by Indians in occupied South Tibet is a major source of resentment of the locals to the Indian occupiers. Another thing is that India simply doesn't trust the locals and likes to accuse them of being Chinese spies if they don't display enough loyalty to the Indian occupier. This area is tightly controlled by India with limited access to the outside world. In 2014 a Tibetan Chinese called Nido Tania went to Delhi and was beaten to death because he looked 'Chinese'. His case was hardly an isolated one. Rape by Indians is a major source of tension in South Tibet against India. Today South Tibet is restless, and India knows it. This is the reason AFSPA (Armed Force Special Powers Act) is imposed on South Tibet. AFSPA dates back to colonial times when the British were running South Asia. AFSPA gives India the power to detain or kill anyone with impunity. AFSPA is imposed on regions India deemed 'disturbed,' such as Kashmir and South Tibet. The Tibetans in occupied South Tibet are voiceless people because they are not the right kind of Tibetans, so their plight is ignored by the world at large. I have yet to hear from the Western media of any concern about human rights abuse of the Tibetans in occupied South Tibet by India. Free South Tibet from India.
if chinese media doesnt report it , only bcos they dont have access to the region to do their investigative journalism. . So its important for the suffereing tibetans in south tibet to unite n tell the truth to the whole world themselves n provide witness accounts n documented proofs. Otherwise , the chinese or any foreign independant media wont be able to report about their sufferings without blowback by the indians n their indian govt n media accusing them of interference n spreading misinformation n propaganda aga india. Currently the world at large are barely aware of the magnitude n extent of the poor sufferings tibetans in india controlled south tibet . More educated pple like you with inside knowledge should keep on posting the truth on social media
why are overseas tibetans not speaking out for the real atrocities happening to their own pple in india controlled south tibet instead of saying the tibetans in China are the ones being oppressed which is not the reality but just anti china propaganda by indian/western media.
@@nothingbutokok6491 No this information is suppressed by the Chinese media. To the extent that people in China are aware of the territorial dispute between India and China, they are under the impression that India merely inherit the land grab from the British Raj, which is only partially true. The other part is done by independent India (after the British had left) under the watch of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party). It is because of this inconvenient history that the CCP keep it obscure because it doesn't make the CCP looks good. This is the tragedy of the people in South Tibet. They are under the brutal occupation of India, but China doesn't want to talk about it and neither does the Western media who profess to care for the Tibetans, but they are not the right kind of Tibetans and hence have no use from them. Let me give you a timeline of what happened in that region: 1912: In the first full year of the Republic of China after the fall of the Qing dynasty, the United States National Geographic Magazine dedicated an issue to China. Accompanying the issue is a large and detailed fold-out map of China. The map clearly shows that Dirang Dzong (德讓宗) and Tawang (達旺) are within the boundary of China. 1943: British India likely calculated that dealing with the Lhasa government was easier than with the Republic of China's Nationalist Government in extracting land concessions and proposed to the United States to recognize Tibet's right to exchange diplomatic representatives with other powers. The Americans rejected this proposal: "The Government of the United States has borne in mind the fact that the Chinese Government has long claimed suzerainty over Tibet and that the Chinese constitution lists Tibet among areas constituting the territory of the Republic of China. This Government has at no time raised a question regarding either of those claims." 1944: British India annexed Dirang Dzong (德讓宗), a Tibetan-settled area. Dzong means fort in Tibetan. The Chinese Government (the Nationalist Government of the Republic of China, seated in Kunming at the time because of World War II) protested to the British. So did the Tibetan Lhasa government. 1945: British India intruded into the tribal area of South Tibet. February 1947: The Chinese Nationalist Government lodged a complaint with the Indian mission, which was by then newly established in China, on British India's border intrusions into Chinese territory. August 1947: Britain left South Asia, and India was created as the successor polity to the departed British. India's creation means that a country that historically did not exist suddenly appears on China's doorstep. October 1947: The Tibetan Lhasa Government dispatched a formal request to New Delhi, asking the newly independent Indian Government to withdraw all its predecessors' intrusions into the territory between the McMahon Line and the traditional border beneath the foothills and return a wide swath of territory from Ladakh to Assam, including Sikkim and the Darjeeling district. 1949: When the defeat of the Nationalist Government in China's civil war was imminent, the Republic of China's ambassador in New Delhi reminded the Indian Government that China did not recognize the McMahon Line and held the Simla Convention invalid. October 1949: The CCP (Chinese Communist Party) took control of the mainland, and its civil war rival, the Republic of China, retreated to Taiwan. December 1949: India recognized the People's Republic of China as the legitimate government, effectively cutting off the diplomatic channel the Republic of China used to deliver its protests to India. February 1951: India annexed Tawang (達旺), the birthplace of the Sixth Dalai Lama and home to the four-hundred-year-old Tawang Monastery. The Tibetan authorities in Lhasa protested but were simply informed by the Indian political officer that India was taking over Tawang. The Tibetans protested again, accusing the Indian Government of 'seizing as its own what did not belong to it.' The Tibetans went on to ask New Delhi to withdraw its forces from Tawang immediately. The protests were ignored. The Republic of China (which had already retreated to Taiwan by then and had no diplomatic relation with India) also vehemently denounced India's territorial travesty. The CCP (Chinese Communist Party) made no noise. October 1951: The PLA (Peoples’ Liberation Army) seized Lhasa, capturing the last remaining part of mainland China (except South Tibet) that was up to that point beyond the Communist control. 1954: India published a new map showing South Tibet as part of India. The map also shows the two neighbors of China, Sikkim, and Bhutan, as part of India. Sikkim has been a tributary state of Tibet for hundreds of years. In the 18th century, Sikkim was briefly overrun by the Nepalese Gorkhas, causing the Sikkim king to flee to Tibet. The Gorkhas continued their push to the north to Shigatse (日喀則市) and sacked the Tashilhunpo Monastery (扎什倫布寺). The Dalai Lama and Panchen Lama requested help from the Qing court, and the Qianlong emperor dispatched two separate expeditions, expelled the Gorkhas, and restored Sikkim's sovereignty and independence. The Gorkhas were pacified and became a tributary state of the Qing dynasty. Sikkim remained unmolested for the rest of its history until it was annexed by India in 1975. January 1959: The CCP (Chinese Communist Party) commented for the first time on the issue of South Tibet when Zhou Enlai, in a letter to Nehru, offered to concede South Tibet to India. However, India rejected the offer, as it also claimed Aksai Chin as part of its territory. 1960: India started establishing posts (border markers) north of South Tibet (north of the McMahon Line) and proclaiming that it has the right to unilaterally 'improve' the McMahon Line as it sees fit. October 1962: After years of warning, China attacked India's position in South Tibet and recovered Tawang shortly. Three weeks later, in a second wave, China recovered the whole of South Tibet. November 1962: China unilaterally withdrew back to the north of the McMahon line. 1975: India annexed Sikkim. 1987: India made South Tibet a state and renamed it the so-called Arunachal Pradesh. The Republic of China (Taiwan) put out a statement denouncing India. Here is the statement: "In regard to the issue of the Indian government's illegal occupation of our country's territory and the establishment of the so-called 'Arunachal Pradesh,' the foreign ministry of the Republic of China issued the following announcement at midnight: India's illegal occupation of our country's territory has been repeatedly stated by the Government of the Republic of China as something it will not recognize. Recently, the Indian Congress unilaterally passed the establishment of 'Arunachal Pradesh' to the south of the so-called McMahon Line. The Indian Government also made it a state. The Government of the Republic of China once again solemnly proclaims that the Government of India intends to legitimize its illegal occupation of Chinese territory. The Government of the Republic of China regards this as illegal, void, and absolutely not recognized." 2008: A little over a decade after Britain returned Hong Kong to China, Britain had exited its last colonial enterprise in Asia. Tibet no longer had the utility of a bargaining chip vis-à-vis the Hong Kong issue, allowing the British to afford honesty for once. The British government issued a statement recognizing China's sovereignty over Tibet (previously recognized as suzerainty, not sovereignty). The statement, supported by both the Conservative and Labour parties, is remarkable for its honesty in admitting that Britain once had territorial ambitions in Tibet and adopted an almost apologetic tone. Here is an excerpt: "...But our position is unusual for one reason of history that has been imported into the present: the anachronism of our formal position on whether Tibet is part of China, and whether in fact we harbour continued designs to see the break-up of China. We do not. Our ability to get our points across has sometimes been clouded by the position the UK took at the start of the 20th century on the status of Tibet, a position based on the geopolitics of the time. Our recognition of China’s “special position” in Tibet developed from the outdated concept of suzerainty. Some have used this to cast doubt on the aims we are pursuing and to claim that we are denying Chinese sovereignty over a large part of its own territory. We have made clear to the Chinese Government, and publicly, that we do not support Tibetan independence. Like every other EU member state, and the United States, we regard Tibet as part of the People’s Republic of China. " 2014: A Tibetan Chinese named Nido Tania from Arunachal Pradesh (occupied South Tibet) went to old Delhi and was beaten to death because he 'looked Chinese.' 2024: The festering border dispute between India and China persists. China's earlier offer to cede South Tibet is no longer available, as China has explicitly stated that South Tibet is part of its territory. This stance mirrors the positions of both the Tibetan Lhasa Government and its civil war rival, the Republic of China (Taiwan).
well do you know that you are the most loved british couple in china so many people try to copy you but not the chaem they just cun't the scabivans the irishes and the gernans too bad you both are naturals thank you i love you both
Can you image before the foundation of New China back in 1949 Tibet was still a caste society and millions of people were born as slave? 🙁 .. I am so glad to see that right now ordinary Tibetan are living such a happy and wealthy life. 😀
True, stayed with a B&B owner 10 yrs back. Her mom ate crap for making a mistake when she was a slave! 50 yrs ago. She now owned 6 units... that was 10 yrs ago.
Hi since you guys are in Tibet. My country please spend your money at Tibetan restaurant and tibetan shops. Please support my people. Thank you for showing my country try. Love from California Bay Area
Your words sound a little strange😅 of course they will spend money in Tibet as they need to live and eat during their stay… but if you say it out so straight, it sounds like an order and not so comfortable 😅😉
Guys you need better cameras to capture the true beauty of Tibet. I was there 12 years ago and traveled extensively across the land of Tibet. That was the only time I saw the Galaxy and all the stars crystal clear in neon colors with my naked eyes! The night sky was so clear and low that everything was almost in my face! No other place is like Tibet on earth.
When you feel tired or headache in Tibet, better to take a day off for a rest. It's possibly sickness from attitude. Drink enough water and have oxygen support ready if necessary. be aware not to catch cold, it could be very nasty and damage your health quickly.

2、请遵照：循序渐进的方式，逐步登高。让身体有时间适应由低海拔到高海拔的变化。
3、当地有医院与医师。一旦发现身体有不适，请勿拖延，立刻就医或往低海拔处撤离。

@sunkissedbucketlist you welcome
Thx for sharing
An interesting about the sea level: you may can't sure which is the best university in the world, but there is only one answer of the highest -- Tibet University🤠🤠 Enjoy your journey guys! Bring us to more and more amazing place!!
I had to look and Lhasa is just a few meters higher in altitude than the city of La Paz in Bolivia.
@@deanzaZZR Lhasa is the lowest city in Tibet.

走路，是真的会喘 😅 祝顺利「 蜜雪女王夫妻 」💖
Great Choice .... to visit there
When I was a child, I thought that Tibet was backward in the western part of China. When I went to university, I found that many Tibetans were richer than me, while I came from the eastern part of the country, and my Tibetan classmates in university were much richer than me.
Because many Tibetan families have yaks, expensive Tibetan medicines? 😅😅
So lucky miss so much ❤
I wish you guys a great time
You guys are amazing, how come you don't have any altitude sickness at such high sea level? 😮
Thank you so much, Libby and Taz for sharing your spectacular trip to Tibet or Xizang, this part of China is so awesome and beautiful with elevation of more than 3000 meters. Looking forward your wonderful videos in Xizang.
Tibet has incredible no doubt 🥰
People have to go to Tibet at least twice in their life, once to leave their heart there, and once to find their heart back
So interesting, never thought Lhasa is like this. Thanks for sharing.
我虽然听不懂你们在说什么，但是通过你们的感受和表情，我也看懂了，你们视频做的很棒，给你们点个赞，太棒了🌟👏👏👏👏……
There are subtitles my friend 👍🏻
Let me use this opportunity to bring awareness to the oppression of Tibetans. No, I am not talking about the Tibetans in China. I am talking about Tibetans in occupied South Tibet, which was annexed by India in 1951 and made a state by India in 1987 to become the so-called Arunachal Pradesh. South Tibet includes Tawang, birthplace of the Sixth Dalai Lama and home to the four hundred years old Tawang Monastery. The Tibetans in occupied South Tibet are fast becoming strangers in their own native homeland because the Indian government is settling Indians in the region to change the demographic structure of the region. The Indians like to mock them, calling them Chinese as a form of insult (sometimes calling them names such as the C* word or the M* word.) Rape by Indians in occupied South Tibet is a major source of resentment of the locals to the Indian occupiers. Another thing is that India simply doesn't trust the locals and likes to accuse them of being Chinese spies if they don't display enough loyalty to the Indian occupier. This area is tightly controlled by India with limited access to the outside world. In 2014 a Tibetan Chinese called Nido Tania went to Delhi and was beaten to death because he looked 'Chinese'. His case was hardly an isolated one. Rape by Indians is a major source of tension in South Tibet against India. Today South Tibet is restless, and India knows it. This is the reason AFSPA (Armed Force Special Powers Act) is imposed on South Tibet. AFSPA dates back to colonial times when the British were running South Asia. AFSPA gives India the power to detain or kill anyone with impunity. AFSPA is imposed on regions India deemed 'disturbed,' such as Kashmir and South Tibet. The Tibetans in occupied South Tibet are voiceless people because they are not the right kind of Tibetans, so their plight is ignored by the world at large. I have yet to hear from the Western media of any concern about human rights abuse of the Tibetans in occupied South Tibet by India. Free South Tibet from India.
India is shameless.

@nothingbutokok6491 I want to ask you, have they sought help from the Chinese government? Have they resisted? Have they claimed to be Chinese?
if chinese media doesnt report it , only bcos they dont have access to the region to do their investigative journalism. . So its important for the suffereing tibetans in south tibet to unite n tell the truth to the whole world themselves n provide witness accounts n documented proofs. Otherwise , the chinese or any foreign independant media wont be able to report about their sufferings without blowback by the indians n their indian govt n media accusing them of interference n spreading misinformation n propaganda aga india.
Currently the world at large are barely aware of the magnitude n extent of the poor sufferings tibetans in india controlled south tibet . More educated pple like you with inside knowledge should keep on posting the truth on social media
why are overseas tibetans not speaking out for the real atrocities happening to their own pple in india controlled south tibet instead of saying the tibetans in China are the ones being oppressed which is not the reality but just anti china propaganda by indian/western media.
@@nothingbutokok6491 No this information is suppressed by the Chinese media. To the extent that people in China are aware of the territorial dispute between India and China, they are under the impression that India merely inherit the land grab from the British Raj, which is only partially true. The other part is done by independent India (after the British had left) under the watch of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party). It is because of this inconvenient history that the CCP keep it obscure because it doesn't make the CCP looks good. This is the tragedy of the people in South Tibet. They are under the brutal occupation of India, but China doesn't want to talk about it and neither does the Western media who profess to care for the Tibetans, but they are not the right kind of Tibetans and hence have no use from them. Let me give you a timeline of what happened in that region:
1912: In the first full year of the Republic of China after the fall of the Qing dynasty, the United States National Geographic Magazine dedicated an issue to China. Accompanying the issue is a large and detailed fold-out map of China. The map clearly shows that Dirang Dzong (德讓宗) and Tawang (達旺) are within the boundary of China.
1943: British India likely calculated that dealing with the Lhasa government was easier than with the Republic of China's Nationalist Government in extracting land concessions and proposed to the United States to recognize Tibet's right to exchange diplomatic representatives with other powers. The Americans rejected this proposal:
"The Government of the United States has borne in mind the fact that the Chinese Government has long claimed suzerainty over Tibet and that the Chinese constitution lists Tibet among areas constituting the territory of the Republic of China. This Government has at no time raised a question regarding either of those claims."
1944: British India annexed Dirang Dzong (德讓宗), a Tibetan-settled area. Dzong means fort in Tibetan. The Chinese Government (the Nationalist Government of the Republic of China, seated in Kunming at the time because of World War II) protested to the British. So did the Tibetan Lhasa government.
1945: British India intruded into the tribal area of South Tibet.
February 1947: The Chinese Nationalist Government lodged a complaint with the Indian mission, which was by then newly established in China, on British India's border intrusions into Chinese territory.
August 1947: Britain left South Asia, and India was created as the successor polity to the departed British. India's creation means that a country that historically did not exist suddenly appears on China's doorstep.
October 1947: The Tibetan Lhasa Government dispatched a formal request to New Delhi, asking the newly independent Indian Government to withdraw all its predecessors' intrusions into the territory between the McMahon Line and the traditional border beneath the foothills and return a wide swath of territory from Ladakh to Assam, including Sikkim and the Darjeeling district.
1949: When the defeat of the Nationalist Government in China's civil war was imminent, the Republic of China's ambassador in New Delhi reminded the Indian Government that China did not recognize the McMahon Line and held the Simla Convention invalid.
October 1949: The CCP (Chinese Communist Party) took control of the mainland, and its civil war rival, the Republic of China, retreated to Taiwan.
December 1949: India recognized the People's Republic of China as the legitimate government, effectively cutting off the diplomatic channel the Republic of China used to deliver its protests to India.
February 1951: India annexed Tawang (達旺), the birthplace of the Sixth Dalai Lama and home to the four-hundred-year-old Tawang Monastery. The Tibetan authorities in Lhasa protested but were simply informed by the Indian political officer that India was taking over Tawang. The Tibetans protested again, accusing the Indian Government of 'seizing as its own what did not belong to it.' The Tibetans went on to ask New Delhi to withdraw its forces from Tawang immediately. The protests were ignored. The Republic of China (which had already retreated to Taiwan by then and had no diplomatic relation with India) also vehemently denounced India's territorial travesty. The CCP (Chinese Communist Party) made no noise.
October 1951: The PLA (Peoples’ Liberation Army) seized Lhasa, capturing the last remaining part of mainland China (except South Tibet) that was up to that point beyond the Communist control.
1954: India published a new map showing South Tibet as part of India. The map also shows the two neighbors of China, Sikkim, and Bhutan, as part of India. Sikkim has been a tributary state of Tibet for hundreds of years. In the 18th century, Sikkim was briefly overrun by the Nepalese Gorkhas, causing the Sikkim king to flee to Tibet. The Gorkhas continued their push to the north to Shigatse (日喀則市) and sacked the Tashilhunpo Monastery (扎什倫布寺). The Dalai Lama and Panchen Lama requested help from the Qing court, and the Qianlong emperor dispatched two separate expeditions, expelled the Gorkhas, and restored Sikkim's sovereignty and independence. The Gorkhas were pacified and became a tributary state of the Qing dynasty. Sikkim remained unmolested for the rest of its history until it was annexed by India in 1975.
January 1959: The CCP (Chinese Communist Party) commented for the first time on the issue of South Tibet when Zhou Enlai, in a letter to Nehru, offered to concede South Tibet to India. However, India rejected the offer, as it also claimed Aksai Chin as part of its territory.
1960: India started establishing posts (border markers) north of South Tibet (north of the McMahon Line) and proclaiming that it has the right to unilaterally 'improve' the McMahon Line as it sees fit.
October 1962: After years of warning, China attacked India's position in South Tibet and recovered Tawang shortly. Three weeks later, in a second wave, China recovered the whole of South Tibet.
November 1962: China unilaterally withdrew back to the north of the McMahon line.
1975: India annexed Sikkim.
1987: India made South Tibet a state and renamed it the so-called Arunachal Pradesh. The Republic of China (Taiwan) put out a statement denouncing India. Here is the statement:
"In regard to the issue of the Indian government's illegal occupation of our country's territory and the establishment of the so-called 'Arunachal Pradesh,' the foreign ministry of the Republic of China issued the following announcement at midnight: India's illegal occupation of our country's territory has been repeatedly stated by the Government of the Republic of China as something it will not recognize. Recently, the Indian Congress unilaterally passed the establishment of 'Arunachal Pradesh' to the south of the so-called McMahon Line. The Indian Government also made it a state. The Government of the Republic of China once again solemnly proclaims that the Government of India intends to legitimize its illegal occupation of Chinese territory. The Government of the Republic of China regards this as illegal, void, and absolutely not recognized."
2008: A little over a decade after Britain returned Hong Kong to China, Britain had exited its last colonial enterprise in Asia. Tibet no longer had the utility of a bargaining chip vis-à-vis the Hong Kong issue, allowing the British to afford honesty for once. The British government issued a statement recognizing China's sovereignty over Tibet (previously recognized as suzerainty, not sovereignty). The statement, supported by both the Conservative and Labour parties, is remarkable for its honesty in admitting that Britain once had territorial ambitions in Tibet and adopted an almost apologetic tone. Here is an excerpt:
"...But our position is unusual for one reason of history that has been imported into the present: the anachronism of our formal position on whether Tibet is part of China, and whether in fact we harbour continued designs to see the break-up of China. We do not.
Our ability to get our points across has sometimes been clouded by the position the UK took at the start of the 20th century on the status of Tibet, a position based on the geopolitics of the time. Our recognition of China’s “special position” in Tibet developed from the outdated concept of suzerainty. Some have used this to cast doubt on the aims we are pursuing and to claim that we are denying Chinese sovereignty over a large part of its own territory. We have made clear to the Chinese Government, and publicly, that we do not support Tibetan independence. Like every other EU member state, and the United States, we regard Tibet as part of the People’s Republic of China. "
2014: A Tibetan Chinese named Nido Tania from Arunachal Pradesh (occupied South Tibet) went to old Delhi and was beaten to death because he 'looked Chinese.'
2024: The festering border dispute between India and China persists. China's earlier offer to cede South Tibet is no longer available, as China has explicitly stated that South Tibet is part of its territory. This stance mirrors the positions of both the Tibetan Lhasa Government and its civil war rival, the Republic of China (Taiwan).
well do you know that you are the most loved british couple in china so many people try to copy you but not the chaem they just cun't the scabivans the irishes and the gernans too bad you both are naturals thank you i love you both

Mixue def has to sponsor you guys. 😊
Can you image before the foundation of New China back in 1949 Tibet was still a caste society and millions of people were born as slave? 🙁 .. I am so glad to see that right now ordinary Tibetan are living such a happy and wealthy life. 😀
exactly. slavery in Tibet was BRUTAL...
@@WaMo721建议你去了解1949年后中国正确的历史，你说的事情是中国1949年新中国成立前的事情
@@晚起的尼克 it happened in late fifties.
True, stayed with a B&B owner 10 yrs back. Her mom ate crap for making a mistake when she was a slave! 50 yrs ago. She now owned 6 units... that was 10 yrs ago.
Ccp.. Lies... 😂😂
amazing Tibet I hope I were there
Visit Sanya to see tropical oceans after the mountains
Hi since you guys are in Tibet. My country please spend your money at Tibetan restaurant and tibetan shops. Please support my people. Thank you for showing my country try. Love from California Bay Area
Fun fact: Xizang (Tibet) is not a country but a autonomous region in western China. Much love to my ethnic Tibetan Americans in the USA ❤️
Your words sound a little strange😅 of course they will spend money in Tibet as they need to live and eat during their stay… but if you say it out so straight, it sounds like an order and not so comfortable 😅😉
Good videos
Guys you need better cameras to capture the true beauty of Tibet. I was there 12 years ago and traveled extensively across the land of Tibet. That was the only time I saw the Galaxy and all the stars crystal clear in neon colors with my naked eyes! The night sky was so clear and low that everything was almost in my face! No other place is like Tibet on earth.
🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤旅途愉快！
Thank you 🤩
When you feel tired or headache in Tibet, better to take a day off for a rest. It's possibly sickness from attitude. Drink enough water and have oxygen support ready if necessary. be aware not to catch cold, it could be very nasty and damage your health quickly.
so far we've been feeling alright 😀
Great 🎉🎉🎉
The painting hanging in the hotel room is a kind of Tibetan Buddhism art called Thangka ཐང་ཀ.
Thanks for letting us know 👍🏻
@@sunkissedbucketlistIt is supposed to have a talisman function to keep the house or room from paranormal disturbances.
You guys must try Tibetan yak meat and sheep yoghurt.
enjoy❤
What type of camera are you using for your videos? Are you using a gimbal, because you’re able to turn the camera easily.
Epic!
🥰
