Francolia in Yichang: Tribe of the Three Gorges (1st half)

Franklin Wang and Julia Lu, students from Shanghai International Studies University, recently embarked on a four-day trip to Yichang with Cole Highhouse, a foreign teacher at the school. Together, they documented their journey in a video series titled "Francolia in Yichang." In the first episode, they take viewers along as they explore a mystical tribe in the Three Gorges area.

The Tribe of the Three Gorges Scenic Area is a captivating fusion of nature and the vibrant culture of the Tujia Ethnic Group, adorned with ancient relics from the Ba people.

During their visit, the trio immersed themselves in the heart of the area, experiencing an interactive boat tracker show that showcased the diligence and hard work of the Tujia people. They also had the privilege of witnessing a traditional Tujia engagement ceremony, in which Cole played the role of the "bridegroom".
