The Third Pole (Roof of the World) shows us how Tibetan people live in harmony with nature in an extreme environment, immersing us in the unique charms of Tibet. What we are trying to depict for you are here is the relationship between people living in Tibetan Plateau and nature. We will focus on the incredible and unique nature state, continuous and erect snow mountains, rich and productive land steps, cyclical and round streams, soil and nature, animals, plants, and men coexisting and surviving together on earth.
On the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, humans and animals have established a relationship of mutual need and trust, and the cultural traditions of Tibetans have also created a natural foundation for the protection of wild animals.
Although the temperatures are extreme, the intense sunshine compensates for the lack of temperature, and the Tibetan plateau benefits from the rich soil.
Over the centuries, the people of the Tibetan plateau have tamed wild horses in the traditional way and used the frozen lakes to graze sheep.
The Tibetan plateau is the main source of the great rivers in Asia. While people worship the land, they also worship the water.
On the main peak of Gangdise Mountain, people kowtow and turn around the mountain to pray for a happy life for others.
