After 3 moves, herder finally finds home

Approximately 30,000 individuals from the high-altitude counties of Tsonyi, Amdo and Nyima in Nagchu city were urged to relocate to a site at lower altitude — Lhoka city.

Despite being in his 60s, Pema enthusiastically answered the call and mobilized his fellow villagers for relocation. His heart was full of joy, trust and gratitude toward the government.

The current resettlement site, where Pema and his neighbors live, is situated approximately 10 kilometers from the Lhasa airport. The newly constructed Tibetan-style residential community provides hospitals, schools, and agricultural markets.

"I am fond of this new resettlement, especially its comfort during winter," said Pema, emphasizing that the new location is better for children and the elderly.
