Officially sanctioned Tibetan traditions grow bigger in the city of Shangri-La. Music blares nightly from loudspeakers in Culture Square,
where locals gather for folk dancing. Rings of clockwise motion echo spinning prayer wheels.

In an annual ritual, a Lisu-minority shaman, called Nipa among his people in Fengdian village, drives ghosts from a home with flames and curses.

Li Wenzhong, about to be married in the village of Chinainai, listens to his future father-in-law,
who is saying that his daughter must be treated well as she moves on to a life with her new family.

Resting briefly in dense forest, Gong Qu Yi Xi walks the pilgrim path around Mount Kawagebo.
Necessities bundled on his back, the 15-year-old Tibetan sets off before dawn and stops only when night shrouds the mountains.

A determined pilgrim climbs through a thin-air tapestry of prayer flags up to a 14,721-foot pass between Yunnan and Tibet.
To circle Buddhism's sacred Mount Kawagebo, she will walk for nearly two weeks.

Leaving a weekly market, villagers slide themselves, baskets of food, and cartons of beer over the river on the cable and pulleys of a zip line.
Once across, they'll hike for several hours up the valley walls to home.
