Ever imagined living side by side with giant pandas? 🐼 For the Gyalrong Zang people of Qiaoqi Zang Township, nestled in the lush mountains of southwest China's Sichuan Province, this is just another day in the neighborhood!
The Gyalrong people, leading a serene pastoral life, call these majestic creatures \"Degong Bulong.\" Their homes overlap with the natural habitat of the pandas, making encounters with these \"divine animals\" a common—and magical—experience.
\"We see them not just as animals, but as sacred beings,\" shares a Gyalrong elder. So much so that they've composed songs in honor of the pandas, celebrating the harmony between their community and nature. 🎶
It's like a real-life version of a Studio Ghibli film, where humans and nature live in perfect balance! 🌿✨
As you plan your next adventure, consider exploring the rich culture of the Gyalrong Zang people and maybe, just maybe, you'll spot a \"Degong Bulong\" in the wild!
Stay curious, amigos! 🌍
