A Tibetan Odyssey, Part 8 - North Face of Mount Everest From Tibet in China

That time when I travelled to the China side of Everest Base Camp, where the north face of the world's tallest mountain greet bedazzled visitors. The China side of EBC is a mere 25km from the foot of Everest, versus the over-100km that the much-busier Nepal side has to travel.

My Tibet series continues. This time, it was an epic 483km drive through some of the most beautiful landscapes in Nyingchi Province to finally arrive in the Tibetan capital of Lhasa. It was in Lhasa where we would visit the world-famous Potala Palace and Jokhang Monastery, a shrine for Buddhists the world over, and an eye-opening discovery of the faith of the Tibetan peoples.

Lol Ah beng Kecoh' 😂
Your personal channel deserves more viewers, Hsu Chuang! Thanks for sharing your short trip with KJ and EK!
Thanks brother 🙏🙏
Awesome video. The historical story of Kelantan was interesting. Possible Kelantan could have well developed since bordering withThailand and if wider diversity has been allowed since historical period as it was. Kelantan people also seems to be of diversify race and culture a mix of Thailand, Chinese, Malay & others. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you brother
All work no play😂 I left pursuing job,status from a very very young age,left Msia tooo all my friends family in Msia are very successful but outsourced happiness to others in pursuit of wealth creation I was never bought in to STPM,uni...even though I did very little and outdid all my all my ' very focused top students studying all.day'... I even received scholarships against all odds in a highly competitive subject matter So though,I have a mortgage,late buyer of of a home ,I know this seems to be the opposite for a lot of people
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Nice
This episode is a fresh air for my merdeka break, reminds me of a trip to Kelantan with my dad 40 years ago, all the way from Johor in a lori balak :) Eddin is a cool guy and you two are lovely travellers. We listen to the same sort of music Chuang, that's a plus ;)
@@VisvivaMediaSdnBhd thanks for the comment Visva! Eddin was great..
I so enjoyed this video. Look forward to seeing your other videos that explore places within this beautiful country. Thank you so much.
Thank you Janie 👍🏾👍🏾
Any Kelantanese to dispute the facts in the video??? Kelantaneses always playing or acting mysterious so that outsiders will not understand them enough because they always telling the nice things themselves and their state. Not even a speck of weakness or inferiority
Huih, I thought you collab with the other KJ 😂
@@LeSage013 haha never
We create an image to portray to others what we want to be though not necessarily what we are and are trapped in that image. I realized that we need to let go of some of our wants if we do not want to be stressed by acquiring them. Life as you've said is short and we need to stop and smell the roses every now and then. I pity your friend for his predicament but he has put himself into a rut. A rut which he created for himself and only he can get out of it if he truly wants to. We are masters of our fate and to let society dictate what we should be to be labeled as successful is stress at its highest level. Face is important to many people until health says otherwise.
kelantanese dialect from the east side seems to be more understandable than the west side (Jeli, Dabong, Kuala Krai & Gua Musang) is even thicker
ORIGIANAL KELANTAN WAYANG KULIT NOW RUN BY CINA PERANAKAN..... THE MALAY PLAYS THE MODIFICATED TO SUIT iSLAM.
Not really. Malay Muslim Tok Dalang still play same story and character. Just do not do ritual ceremony before the play.
Very nice on the road Classic Rock tunes, which playlist was it? I assume it was Spotify?
Hey there Thanks! 🙏 UA-cam music actually! Its attached to my UA-cam premium account 😀
I will certainly not agree with Eddin Khoo on his rebuff of the Chola dynasty. Proper history will tell him that the Majapahit Empire was ruled by the Cholas, a south indian community.2/3 of southeast asia was under the cholas occupation.Many of the Hindu relics are still there to be seen.It will do him a world of good if he concur with a lot of other learned historians to rewrite Malaysian history(for primary and secondary schools) now as the powers-to-be in this country have distorted history
You cannot use the word RULED to describe of how the Indian world expanded outside the Indian subcontinent. Also understanding the notion Indian empire outside the western narrative is important. Eastern religions co-existed, not to say there were no conflict but they co-existed. Eddin is correct to suggest the the Buddha was made by a local as Buddhism would have been the fashionable religion in the region. In the same light there were Hindu/Buddhist Malay Kings who were making advances for territories in Sri Lanka to secure Buddhist Relics. In the 13th Century a Malay king held fort and ruled portions of Sri Lanka for half a century. To Eddin point "Wild, Bastardised, Historically Rich"
Hello Chuang, redirected from you pod session with Eddin. I consider myself an amateur historian. I think highly of my Sejarah education at school as it provided me a foundation understand and appreciate history today. It is actually a testament to work done by Eddin father; his vision was for Malaysians to share a generic/ general account of the formation of Malaysia. The problem with history is its often looked in isolation and it also serves an effective propaganda tool. History is often misrepresented. In the general psyche of people, historical facts are static. It often overlooks the societal fabric of the time. The reality is history is salient rich with sociocultural subtexts. As a history geek and a mud blood, I’ve aways had a fascination with Malaysian history particularly the origins of indo-malayans in Malaysia. I come from the school of thought that Penang is cradle of Modern Malaysia. I have my reasons based on historical events (too long to share here 😅. With regards to this video, having read Account of Abdullah’s Sea Voyage to Kelantan, I have to correct some of the facts presented by Eddin. To begin with, his voyage to Kelantan from Singapore was on a British diplomatic envoy to secure release Jewish and Chinese vessels which were detained in Kelantan. These accounts were published 1849 based on his voyages in 1837/38. As I’ve pointed out earlier on how history can be pervasive, Munshi Abdullah is a problematic figure in Malaysian history. In my eyes Munshi Abdullah can be considered the father of Malay journalism and probably modern Malay literature. Additionally, as an indo-Malayan I look up to him as a revered figure. However, for some he is a colonialist conspirator and an ally to infidels.
Thanks for the update Vimala. I too consider Penang to be the cradle of Malaysian history as I am from that state and I can attest to the richness of history and culture, especially in the centre of Georgetown, which is still as vibrant as it was 300 years ago
@@khoohsuchuang Penang and the Malays brush with destiny predates the existence of Georgetown by almost 200 years. Without Penang Island there would be no East India Company. History could have panned out very very differently. Very very nerdy historical stuff. May I suggest you listen to EMPIRE. Spellbinding pod by William Dalrymple and Anita Anand. Good listen and excellent read suggestions. Fun fact William Dalrymple ancestors was one of the earliest man to publish a detailed map of the coast of Kedah and Penang.
Thank you, is is very heartwarming to say the least...been listening to you almost daily when I'm on the grind (commute, work, etc.), and now it's such a joy to discover your channel!
And thank you Niza for the kind words! :-)))
Wish you guys could have seen a full wayang kulit performance though
Supposed to be next year, according to Eddin. here's hoping .. !

Hey Mr Khoo! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and inspiring us. Please do another video on the importance of documenting your life. Perhaps you can also share how you got started especially for those who are also in their 50s. P.S: Always like listening to you on BFM
Hi Kenny! Thanks for writing in. Will do so :-) Starting this in the 50s was pretty hard ..

Penang is a really nice place. Planning to revisit
Penang is one of those place that many things have remained within the time capsule which they didn’t change much over the years, where you have always kept a special place within your heart just for Penang and every time you are here, you always have that comfort feeling that gives you the tranquility and keeps you recharged. Penang people are proud of their heritage esp their food and philosophy of life.
it is. you re 100% right. even those Aussies who used to live in Tg Bunga in the 70s still like to come back and rekindle their memories. there's something simple and magical here ..
haha... thanks for sharing. an awesome dad with an adoring family vacation on an icy adventure in Harbin and the Land of the Dragon! so candid :P
Heheee thank you 🙏 ❤️

Route 318..fabled route. Stunning! Love the music lol. I wonder if it would be too cold to do it on a motorbike.
Yeah it would be tbh. And quite risky cos the upper reaches are snowy and icy
Wow, from the comfort of my armchair I feel the excitement! The China route looks great!
Yayy!!!! Will report back Sam. If it's good can consider next year .. Africa!
Good luck, Yin
Love this, Chuang
