Tibetan elder 秤干粮的藏族老先生

An old gentleman weighing dry supplies using his weighing scale.

 

Shuzhengzhai, Juizhaigou, Sichuan, China.

 

Jiuzhaigou (Valley of Nine Villages) is famed for its many multi-level waterfalls, colorful lakes, crystal clear water, and the unique cultures of its Tibetan & Qiang ethnic tribes. It has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1992.

 

Jiuzhaigou Tibetans are very hospitable people, and have a great love for singing & dancing. Their voices are broad and full, their dancing are energetic & uninhibited, and their costumes are amazing colourful.
