About 4,000 meters above sea level, in the highland area of Nyingchi, Southwest China's Xizang autonomous region, lies a vibrant primary school. It is where 10-year-old Konchog Rapten in Nyangpo township thrives in his fifth-grade studies.

The Nyangpo Township Central Primary School stands as the highest school in the township, accommodating 397 students, most of whom are from alpine pastoral regions, with some living more than 50 kilometers away from home. Consequently, most opt to board.
