51-year-old Tibetan Sina Dingzhu's lives in Jiangpo village, Foshan township, Deqin county, Diqing Tibetan autonomous prefecture, in Yunnan province. This small village sits across the river from Meili Snow Mountain with its breathtaking scenery. In the past, it was in a world of its own. Daily life there, however, is mired in poverty.

In recent years, in order to help the villagers to increase their incomes, various groups have developed livestock breeding programs for yaks and goats, as well as cultivating olive groves and actively developing their rural tourism. However, limited transportation and accommodation keeps tourist numbers low.
