Tybetańczycy - Redux
EN_01484134_0003
Armored police vehicles parked on the streets of Tibetan majority Kangding (Dartsendo in Tibetan) in case there is any protest by the Tibetan residents against their Han Chinese overlords. Ganzi Province, Sichuan, China (Kham, Tibet). For centuries, this valley has been a valuable trade route between the Chinese lowlands and the Tibetan plateau and it remains so to this day as the Sichuan - Tibet Highway passes through here and on up over 4,298 meter (14101 ft) Zheduo Pass. Kangding, Dartsendo in Tibetan, has for centuries been regarded as the border between the Chinese realm and the Tibetan one. In fact, during the Three Kingdoms Period, as legend would have it, Chinese Ruler Zhuge Liang (AD 181 - 234) arranged in a negotiation with a Tibetan chieftain to fire an arrow and wherever it landed would mark the borderline between the Chinese realm and the Tibetan one. That arrow was said to have impaled Guoda Mountain which towers over the center of the city.
