In Summer 2024, I visited the Tibetan communities in Huangnan, Qinghai. I started to realize that Tibetan inGannan, Gansu which I met in 2022, are like two brothers born of the same mother. Their broad cultural framework is consistent, but their little ‘personal touches’ in dress and their unique ‘signature skills’ differ from one another. Together, they form the vibrant tapestry of Ando Tibetan culture.
