Picture from Shengsi Islands

The wealth of the former residents of Houtouwan is still visible in the shape of the houses they’ve abandoned. Most of them are two-stories buildings, with nicely decorated walls and terraces.

Tsaatan are one of the world’s smallest ethnic groups (they’re estimated to be around 200). In addition to climate change they are also facing difficulties also due to the creation of the protected area of the Tengis Shishged national park, that is constraining their movements and activities in the area.
