Zhaxi Nyima (front) and Puba Doje, Gedor's sons, are seen in their family's teahouse at a relocation site in Gangdoi Town of Gonggar County, southwest China's Tibet Autonomous Region, April 15, 2020. Gedor, 34, used to live in a remote pastoral area in Amdo County in northern Tibet with his family. Restricted by the living conditions, they earned a living by pasture and the low income of their small grocery store. In late 2019, with the support of local authorities, 4,058 residents in Amdo and Co Nyi, two counties at a high altitude of over 4,500 meters, were relocated. Gedor and his family moved to a relocation site in Gangdoi Town of Gonggar County. The site has easy access to roads and various facilities including market, hospital and school. The convenience of new life has encouraged Gedor and his wife Rolpai to open a Tibetan butter teahouse for neighboring residents to spend leisure time. Now, Gedor and his family live a better life as their teahouse has been a popular spot with satisfactory income, and with the allowance from local authorities. (Xinhua/Zhan Yan)
