Looking back on the 2019 journey, I feel the civilization of the world
Time flies, time is like a song. Since the mu-X Ranger officially became the official vehicle for the “China National Geographic” scientific expedition in 2017, this scientific expedition on wheels has gone through two years of journey. In 2019, the joint scientific expedition team traveled through the Hengduan Mountains, crossed the Himalayas, climbed the Ngari Plateau, and went deep into the hinterland of northern Xinjiang. During the nearly 10,000-kilometer trek, they explored the beauty of China and experienced the unique and splendid local civilization.

The Jinsha River, Lancang River, Nujiang River and Dulong River in the Hengduan Mountains are parallel to form the magnificent scenery of “Four Parallel Rivers”. The scientific expedition team visited 15 old people with tattoos in the villages around the Dulong River and learned about this unique pattern. This custom is to protect oneself from being taken away by foreign forces a century ago. Along the “Bingchacha” all the way to the west, the villages in Zayu are inhabited by the “Teng nationality”, an unidentified ethnic group other than China’s 56 ethnic groups. The older generation of Teng people’s women still have huge tremella holes, which symbolizes Nobility.
As one of the three most majestic mountains on earth, the Himalayas are the “poetry and distance” and “sacred place of the soul” that many people yearn for. The scientific expedition team crossed the Himalayas from south to north, and visited the only surviving Zhangzhung Aya people in the village, the Rawang Luobu family, in Jilong Gouzha Village, on the way of the Tangzhu Ancient Road where Princess Wencheng married in Tibet. The Ya people are the descendants of the Aryan people known as “the most intelligent race” and the people of Jilong Zhangzhung. Except for the special etiquette of worshiping Buddha and gods, the Aya people have integrated with Geelong in terms of food, clothing, dialect and architecture.
At the confluence of mountains and rivers such as the Gangdise Mountains, the Himalayas, and the Kunlun Mountains, Ngari, Tibet, rises with an average altitude of more than 4,500 meters. As the “roof of the roof of the world”, Ali is still a mysterious place that is difficult for human beings to reach. Ngari was the base of the first Tibetan regime, the Zhang Zhung Kingdom. It has become an unsolved historical mystery as to where the Yincheng, the capital of the Zhang Zhung King, is located. The scientific expedition team visited the Qulong site and the Kaerdong site respectively, which provided further strong evidence for determining the specific location of the dome Yincheng.
