Huge areas in Qinghai appear empty, but when you look closer, you can see and meet Tibetan nomads, living in black yak-hair tents.
The next days on my trip through Qinghai, I would see more nomads, or drokpa in Tibetan, sometimes in towns, but mostly on the most unlikely places: in the middle of an empty plain, near a bend in a frozen river, under snow capped mountains, or whizzing by on fancy motorbikes. Several times, I stopped to be able to just look at them, as they often looked so amazing. It is estimated that some 40% of Tibetans are nomadic or semi-nomadic; the land is so enormous, however, that they can easily disperse and live by themselves. The more tents I saw, the more I wanted to see one from the inside, and meet its inhabitants. At one moment, I asked the driver to stop, and after he asked them if we could visit, we were invited in as if they had been expecting us all along. As we approached their tent, I noticed a solar panel on one side, and a yak with three young yaks on the other.
