Every July, deep inside the Changtang National Nature Reserve, more than 150,000 female Tibetan antelopes embark on a journey to cross the river, accompanying their newborn babies.

Travelling from calving grounds hundreds of kilometers away, the mothers make their way toward their habitats with their young by their side. The Senlong Zangbu River is unavoidable. With its width, strong torrents, and depth, the river presents a challenge for the tiny calves, who follow closely behind their mothers as they carefully make their way across.

Just imagine how spectacular this migration is. According to Ngawang Lodro, head of a local management station, the number of Tibetan antelopes crossing the river has exceeded 150,000 every year over the past three years. It is undoubtedly one of the most breathtaking mother-baby migrations on the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau.

In June, the Beautiful Traveller initiative made steady progress through a series of practical actions. At the Beautiful Traveller bases, 400 care packages were prepared, packed, and shipped entirely by a group of female volunteers. They sorted supplies, packed boxes, sealed packages, and sent them out for delivery, ensuring that batches of donations reached Xizang.

Meanwhile, the Lhasa base organized two outdoor cleanup activities in Qushui and Dagze. Together with volunteers, young “guardians of the plateau” ventured into the mountains, picking up scattered litter and helping keep the natural environment clean.

The kitchen waste composting program has also continued to operate. The vegetables in the garden are thriving thanks to homemade organic fertilizer. From food waste to compost, and from compost back to the dining table, a small but meaningful ecological cycle is taking shape.

Different roles for one shared mission.

A lifelong guardian of the national flag in the mountains of Xizang

At Yamdrok Lake in Lhokha, Xizang, a visitor named Awen met a man bending down to pick up litter. His name was Tashi.

Whenever he is free, Tashi travels to scenic spots around Lhasa to collect plastic bottles and other wastes left behind by visitors, helping protect the beauty of the plateau.

When Awen visited Tashi’s home, he discovered stacks of neatly preserved five-star red flags. It turned out that Tashi is the flag raiser at the mountaintop flag-raising site in Lhasa Nanshan Park.

At an altitude of 4,070 meters, it is the highest flag-raising site in Lhasa’s urban area. Tashi personally raised the very first flag there. For more than a decade, he has regularly replaced old flags with new ones, carefully folding and keeping the replaced flags.

Tashi has always held one dream close to his heart: to watch a flag-raising ceremony at Tian’anmen Square in Beijing.

Awen helped make that dream come true.

After waiting in line for seven hours before dawn, they finally witnessed the national flag rising with the morning sunlight.

Standing quietly among the crowd, Tashi—who had raised the five-star red flag on a 4,070-meter mountain in Lhasa for more than ten years and dedicated himself to protecting the plateau landscape—watched closely as the flag unfolded in the wind.
