Culture is a thing with a lot of mixture in it.

My photos of the Other Tibet. This area is culturally Tibetan in west Sichuan, China. But instead of a high dry plateau, it’s a rugged, lower terrain of fertile valleys. These pictures are from the valleys around the town of Danba. The folk here like to say, “We are Tibetan but not like the Tibetans of Tibet.” They speak Tibetan, but eat Chinese. Their homes are Tibetan but their crops are Chinese. They are in between, and their own tribe, so to speak. I was the only tourist.
