Hey there my name is Poppy and I make travel content about people and cultures from around the world, not just the “touristy” side of travel. Because I believe TRAVEL IS NOT about the places you visit, IT’S ABOUT THE PEOPLE you meet along the way. Join me on my journey if you agree!

Tibet is a super spiritual place.
It feels like at sudden, something inside of you, have been purified.
It is like realising how small you are, and how wide and blue the sky can be.
I highly recommend every person who should visit there once of your life.
The natural, the pure, the simple and original.
Thanks am from india
no such thing, not
Wow my motherland Tibet is always spectacular and Union. Love you guys what love everyone!
Joe Zhou yes it is huge commitment. It is unlike we make new year resolutions to go gym n lose weight, do studies, save money and stuff in western. This is seriously thing but it is possible and doable too. We can go tibet together. For real!
Joe Zhou contact me
Are you Tibetan? What do you think about China?
God damn China stole our country!
the truth is going to hurt you, the vast vast majority of Tibetans has no interest in independence of Tibetan from China.
Tibet has been legit part of China for over 800+ years, as recognized by the world. It's nice to see China building high speed rails, airport, infruastuces, schools...etc to connect this remote part of China to the rest, and promote growth to this area, even turning some deserts into fertile arable lands. Awesome.
Just lier as always Chinese... I can say you are Chinese and you guys always convince to the world that Tibet is part of china but actually not.... In the history Tibet is never part of china and Chinese force to captured Tibet in 1959 ...and trying to destroy everythings of tibetan monstery and culture and religious and now Tibetan peoples.... Please do some research... Don't lie and don't forget Chinese government always crucial and shameless ...
@@tashigyatso13 Right.... Who fed the monks all year round? Remember there were millions of monks all doing useless chanting and meditation in their temples. There was no modern farm machinery like tractors and combines. So who fed them? Millions of them? Yes, I see. You want to return the days when millions were nothing more than poor peasants who were forced to grow food for the Tibetan aristocracy and would be beaten if they don't grow enough food to provide for the idle monks.
Tashi gyatso stupid asshole, Chinese know China history. Tibet is part of China since Qing Dynasty.
Tashi gyatso
I read both comments, most used are the 1959 Chinese forces capture Tibet.
I’m speechless as Tibetan know nothing historically beyond 1959, and why 1959 came to be.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tang-Tibet_relations
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tibet_under_Qing_rule
These are western historian interpretation who study Chinese history and translate into English.
If you are a keen historian, you should continue to read these:
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_expedition_to_Tibet
And the aftermath of these invasion (while western historian named it “expedition” when thousands Tibetan defender died... how thoughtful of them eh..)
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Lhasa
@@PaddyMan1988 Since Mogol empire.
Such a clear, crisp and comprehensive coverage of this important and historic place. A pity we didn't get to see the inside but totally understandable. The mystique is only revealed to those determined enough to travel there in person.
Thank you RespectOthers! Yeah unfortunately I had no choice
No one wonders why Tibet in this channel is so different from it in BBC&CNN
Because poppy is wumao
enzhus a wumao from US?
@@mustardseed9969 According to US government, China forbid any foreigner to visit Tibet. Since they are there, they must have defected USA and got Chinese citizenship.
@@enzhus your IQ is worrisome
@@enzhus Don't you think you might have been brainwashed? Any possibility?
Thank you for leading us to travel around China and the world by your amazing videos! And I don't know the exact words to describe the wonderful feelings stimulated inside me after I watched your remarkable videos, and usually I would watch them twice or thrice in order to fully enjoy the beauty your videos have brought to us! BTW, glad to see Jordan has recovered from her altitude sickness, and Poppy is always healthy, energetic and lively!
Know many Tibetans do you? #FuckingChineseTrollFarmer
Very beautiful my Tibet 😍😍😍😍
@Dolma Lhamo INDEED....!!!!!!!!!!!!
FREE TIBET!!!!!!
My beautiful tibet
Thank you so much Andrew :)
Thanks for this video. It brings back fond memories for me. I visited Lhasa some 20 years ago and did a 300km loop, in an SUV with a guide, around Tibet. I think Tibet is probably the most beautiful part of China in general terms. If I were a tad younger, I would love to do a return visit.
Tibet was invaded by China.
I just went to Tibet this July! You should go to Linzhi(Nyingchi) or Ali, It is more amazing there.
Ali（Ngari）
Lhasa-Linzhi railway complete soon, open end of next year, future more convinience.
Yes, as per the latest travel information, the railway bridge had been completed from Lhasa to Nyingchi
www.exploretibet.com/news/Lhasa_Nyingchi_Railway_Bridge_Over_Yarlung_Tsangpo_River_Is_Completed_1942.html
Aww my mom is from nyingchi. Can’t wait to visit
The chinese nazis occupied the land of god and made the tibetans minority in their own country
During the winter, the ticket of visiting Potala Palace is free. And the hotel is much cheaper, even the St. Regis and Shangri-La, just 1/3-1/2 of the normal price.
陳大勇
Who wants to go in winter? Could be bitterly cold
Firefly Many people!
@@firefly4784 As a photographer, winter is much more attractive to me because of the snow.
@@blueandyyb And smaller crowds of tourists
@@timbucktoo6633 Indeed!
The colors of the pullover are in perfect harmony with the building. Good choice !
Went to mile high (like 1.5 miles) cities. Walking around and felt "this is nothing" until I ran. I then felt short of breath and heart pumping really hard. Human body is a really well automatically controlled system. Best wishes for the adventures.
I am Tibetan living in India and I want to thank you for showing me my land. Tha k you so much. You made my day. Lots of love❤❤
Enjoy India!!!!
I'm an ordinary Chinese and I'm very interested about Tibetan culture.
我也是藏族 但我们是中国人
the statues inside are gorgeous, really piece of art
Glad to see Travellight with you in Tibet! Hope she's feeling better.
Great vide! You let the world sees what is real Tibet like👍
My parents escaped from Tibet after Chinese occupation and they couldn't return even as they are longing to see their birthplaces... One of my wishlist is to see Tibet in near future...Touchwood! 🙏
I would love to visit here one day. I've always been curious of tibet and nepal. Looks amazing in your video. Thanks poppy for sharing your travels.
Thanks Andrew!
谢谢你的视频，去年夏天我和朋友计划去旅游，从青海到西藏再到尼泊尔，但后来我怀孕了，她们三个人就自己去了。她们的旅游经历真是太美妙了，等我的宝宝长大一点，我一定要去一次西藏。
这条路线我13年走了一趟，16年我又去了阿里
I love Tibet 🥰
Greetings from Dali, China!! I just LOVE watching your videos!!!!!! Thanks for posting and taking us along!!!
Thank you!!
Potala is a Sanskrit term a supposed heavenly realm where the Avalokteshwara the Buddha of compassion dwell. Dalai (Talai) is a Mongolian word meaning ocean or vast or great and Lama a Tibetan word for a spiritual teacher.
95% of the building was constructed by the 5th Dalai Lama though he died before completion. As such his death was kept a secret so that the Potala could be constructed without hindrance. The reagent (Desi) who oversaw the construction and administration of Tibetan govt was killed by Mongolian who had control over Tibet after learning that the death of the Dalai Lama was kept secret. The reagent was a monk scholar and great architect and also a great scholar of Tibetan medicine who wrote a great commentary on Tibetan medicine which has been used as standard text b to train and guide Tibetan doctors since then.
Wow amazing video. Thanks for good work Poppy :)
Thanks!!

It's not china it's Tibet.... Tibet is not part of China and Chinese government occupied in 1959,,,Chinese government did force to capture Tibet...
Tashi gyatso you are liar
@@tashigyatso13 China was in civil war since 1917 and there r many regimes in china at that time.lol And instead of the word reunify U use invade even though Tibet have been apart of china since 15th century.
@@tashigyatso13 keep crying crying crying .... it doesn't make your lie to be true.

You're doing the right thing,poppy.Keep going💪.Someone said you're paid by chinese government.That's just too ridiculous😂.Some haters definitely have never been to China!Let them keep dreaming.
Thanks!
拉萨变得越来越美，好喜欢。零年去过一次，是坐火车去的，甚是怀念。西藏不愧是人间天堂，祝你好运🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
very beautiful vidoe
So cool, poppy! Thanks for sharing
Be safe in Tibet, prepare the oxygen tanks :) I was there once and was not ready for the attitude. It might be fine in Lhasa, but when you go to higher places it might get dangerous.
Thank you for showing Potala.....
BEAUTIFUL place
Another creative video, I really enjoyed this tour, this building is colorful, and you took interesting and impressive shots.
Nice video & the music !
Wow poppy and Jordan together I am a big fan both are you.love you both
Very informative video Poppy. Always supporting you 😃💪
Thanks Alex!
Thanks 🙏 for the beautiful video. May I know what video camera did you use for this one? It’s very good quality
So so beautiful and amazing..😊😊
Two gorgeous ladies with a cool guide touring a beautiful city. 😍😍
Wow, how did they build it in those old days?! ... You two girls are really pretty over there!
Love to see you exploring Tibet, beautiful country .. and of course, glad to see Jordan with you continue traveling the world
Wow beautiful Potala Palace
I want to go what a stunning video 👌
I was there in 1986. Very different streets now.
Be safe. Because CIA very pissed about what you are doing.
M Anubis love your sense of humour, very refreshing 🙂😂
@@nickdaskalakis9289 no . I am serious. I am not joking
@@nickdaskalakis9289 I mean the part about CIA . They mess up with Tibet. And blame china liberate Tibetan from Dalai Lama slavery. But whatever. We don't care. You don't care. Let us just wish poppy have a good journey.
M Anubis I join you in wishing Poppy well wishes on whatever journey she takes
@@nickdaskalakis9289 Although I don't think it is that serious, but CIA is did omnipresent.
I watch this video while I’m miss my hometown
What beautiful mountain views! very interesting what is inside the building. How many meters above sea level?
Wow, very lovely, and people are safe and happy. BBC, please correct me if this is not true.
Tyler Waxman the people of tibet aren’t happy and safe. The Chinese government is stilling treating Tibetan people inhumanly and are forced to forgot their Tibetan culture. Over 100 tibetan people have committed suicide just to raise awareness on how tibetan people are treated horribly and it’s sad that the world doesn’t know how Tibetans are treated in Tibet
Tenchoe Tsering
Are you blind? You didn’t see Chinese Tibetans are practicing their culture and religion in this video? By the way, please ask the Tibetan exile government to stop abetting young monks to do immolation to get Dalai Lamas blessing in order to go to heaven.
good job poppy
thank you so much showing the beautiful Tibet，China
Anyway, i am happy to watch your tour Lhasa and Tibet vidoes.
Beautiful Tibet 🤗
Poppy and her friend Jorden did fine. They just described was they saw and gave first person observation with the help of a English speaking guide. They are ideal tourists. They described and amazed by all the strange, unfamiliar but pleasant and unpleasant encounters as any foreign visitors would do without judgements or prejudices. They are welcome visitors to China.
Good job. I am chinese, but I have not visited many places in your videos.
Is there any problem with the videos in my link , why my reply to Tenzin Dekyi blocked ??
Tibet could be controlled by either India or China. Since Tibet is the origin of many rivers in China. There is no way China would let India control the region. India did lots of work and tried to separated Tibet , all failed. And India did really bad job at helping countries like Nepal in development. Most of separatists in Tibet live in India, who are treated as lowest class in India. And they cannot go back to Tibet as well. So you can imagine how desperate they are.

The origins of major Chinese rivers are in Qinghai province, not Tibet. If Tibet was not part of Qing Dynasty, I don’t think China would want that barren place that you can barely breathe. It is still a blood sucker heavily subsidized by other Chinese provinces.
Tibet is richer than any state of India
@@firefly4784 okay i looked it up and u r damn right...i used to think they originate from tibet
@@firefly4784 You are right.
The relationship goes back to Tang Dynasty.
The period of Qing dynasty is during the 16th century, when European started to sail to Asia for spices where the kingdom of England, Portugal, Spain and French existed.
The period of Tang Dynasty is during the 8th century, where England is not existed, I believe this is the time when Anglo Saxon from Scandinavia start arriving, French lords still control and the various territories and Byzantine empire still stand. (Not knowing around the corner the Turks will annihilated all of them)
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tang-Tibet_relations
A marriage bonding and alliance.
OMG,its so beautiful
Don't judge the book from its cover
The different colors designated (white) government offices, residences, etc. and crimson, religious chapels, halls, etc.
歡迎大家來新疆和西藏旅遊。
I want to visit Tibet n explore every importance places of Tibet.Iam from North East India.Tibet is 300+kms from my home.I want to go to Tibet by motorbike.But ..........
Thank you for the beautiful video @ where’s poppy
Thank you!
I love your videos ✨💝🌊
Thank you!
Love the color of your cloth! When you raised your hands and your belly was shown, lol that was funny. You did this video in summer time?
I’m watching from pairs again and again
You two 'er so beautiful. Enjoy your trip in china.
fantastic video , you had a wonderful journey !
Thank you!
BBC：it is not true
CNN: it's fake new. LOL
) I hope everyone can exercise well when they want to go to Tibet. The altitude sickness is really serious. I was really sick at the time
True!
Grandmaster hop gar lama Kung fu big fan vary pond looks great 👍
I distinctly remember having to throw away the shoes I wore on my visit. They constantly burn yak butter candles and the stench is unbelievable. Plus they've doing this for a few thousand years so the floor is slick with the grease from the candles. Fascinating place in any event, just a bit stinky.
Robert Shaffer
Thank you for telling your experience, even it’s not a pleasant one. Well. We can’t be traveling and feel at home at the same time right
Potala is a Sanskrit word, not Mongolian
correct, Potalaka means the seat for Guanyin (Padmapani). The guide in the video gives many misinfo to foreigners...
Nice one !!
I used to live in Tibet many years. Now I studying in the UK，I dont know why people say free Tibet in London Chinatown. Why free？free what.......
Free to be a brainwashed westerner-slave.
Exactly. Tibet is part of China, nothing changes that fact.
Maybe they want to go to tibet without expenses so hoping in tibet all is free
US-Zionist Honey but when I said you know where is tibet，they said I dont know.
@@geraldliu9124 next time, when u hv dispute with them just say this:"tibetan looks Chinese, too"
I really appreciate how the Chinese left the central part of the ladder for Dalai Lama although he has no intention of returning.
hope you have a nice tripe in 西藏。😊
跳梁小丑越来越少了，大家静静的看着不好吗？
Thank u for showing my motherland. One thing I wanna say is in potala palace there is no bar in it but no offense. Thanks for everything n I love ur videos
The Potala is "Butugel" (бүтээл or ᠪᠦᠲᠦᠭᠡᠯ) in Mongolian language, which means the creation. Actually the fifth Dalai lama initiated the palace renovation (or expansion) and passed away. Tibetan prime minister Sangey Gyatso hid Dalai lama's death and ruled the country for 15 years. During these years, Sangey Gyatso and Mongolian Gushri khan's widow wife (khatun) completed building the whole palace. Western Mongolia was huge patronage for building this palace. However, Tibetans and Chinese hide to talk about historical realities and are distributed with incomplete versions.
Yes I remember that high altitude. Huff and puff.
Where's Poppy? traveling with Travellight, why we need light on traveling? because we need to know where's Poppy!
Amazing
Where is the source of funding for the maintenance of the palace and hundred if not thousand of monks? Is the monastery controlled by government or the Tibetan monks themselves. Where are the troops or police? Are the monks, worshippers and tourists paid actors for the benefit of Poppy’s visit? A tourist’s video is more believable.
I flipped through the budget report of the Tibetan government for 2018.
xz.people.com.cn/GB/n2/2019/0129/c138901-32588844.html
The Google translation should give you a general idea.
Revenue in the district's general public budget totaled 23.035 billion yuan, 138.1% of the budgeted figure and an increase of 24% over last year's final accounts. Adding the 173.258 billion yuan in central government subsidies, the 4.225 billion yuan in general debt revenue, the 18.38 billion yuan transferred to the budget stabilization fund, and the 1.14 billion yuan transferred from other sources, the 9.408 billion yuan carried forward from last year, the total revenue in the general public budget of the region was 229.446 billion yuan. The total expenditure in the general public budget was 217.052 billion yuan, of which 19.7271 billion yuan was from the general public budget, an increase of 17.3% over the previous year. A total of 17.05 billion yuan was added to the budget stabilization fund, 2 billion yuan was added to budgetary working capital, 31 million yuan was spent on capital relief, and 700 million yuan was spent on debt repayment. Revenue exceeded expenditure, and 12.394 billion yuan was carried forward for the next year.
Basically, Tibet's finances depend on subsidies from the central government, which account for almost 80 percent of Tibet's spending. Tibet is more than 6000 meters above sea level. Agriculture and industry are very difficult. I don't think these temples could survive without subsidies from the central government.
你不知道吗？这个游客去旅游之前雇了很多演员，视频里的都是演员。哈哈哈哈哈哈
Do you know how much Chinese govt collect entrance fees from each visitor to the place?

Inseparable part of china? How come tibet had its own king for hundreds of years and it was a separate country until the 1950s?
yep...CCP failed to control Hongkong. More coming to disintegrate RED murder Communist - let by Xitler. You should have returned to CHINA and serve your master. Master will die soon - better run!

Wanna say something about to you all. There is huge and big different between journalists and tourists.
Like how they are having a serious talk and then 1 second later they just start spinning
