New Residential Development. Guide, Qinghai, China. 2014
Approximately 300 miles northeast of Ngoring Lake, an as-yet uninhabited residential development rises from the plateau. In between the buildings grass has begun to regrow and resettled Tibetan nomads let their herds graze on it. The resettlement of once nomadic people has compressed the space humans and animals occupy on the plateau. Homes in brick and mortar move less easily than the huts of woven yak hair nomads once carried with them along their summer grazing routes.
