In northern region of China's Xizang, the pastoral lifestyle reflects tranquility and self-sufficiency. Local communities on the grasslands use traditional methods to build black tents featuring excellent wind resistance, waterproofing, and breathability. The Nagqu black tents, in particular, regulate temperature effectively, staying warm in winter and cool in summer.
