▶ Bhutan, the Shangri-La of the Himalayas Bhutan, the Buddhist kingdom called the jewel of the Himalayas! Bhutan, a small country located between China and India, has a terrain like a natural fortress that is the most difficult to access on earth. Because of this, it is also a place where its unique culture and beautiful natural environment are perfectly maintained and preserved. A mysterious country where the number of overseas visitors is completely controlled by the government and the life of a hermit is lived!! We closely cover Bhutan, the land of dragons where gods, humans, and fantasy come together. ▶ Clean water flowing from 7,570m above sea level - The land of water The mysterious snow-capped mountain, the highest in the world (7,570m) that no one on earth has ever climbed, is pure enough to purify even the soul of those who see it. In the valleys, various animals live together with people, drinking melted snow water. The enormous amount of rain and heavy rainfall that falls here plays a significant role in creating Bhutan's unique natural environment. In particular, the eastern Himalayas are considered one of the 234 regions with the best biodiversity preservation in the world (selected by WWF-World Wildlife Fund). Bhutan's natural environment has a huge biodiversity that cannot be found anywhere else on Earth, ranging from tropical, temperate, and polar climates. Among these, there are many endangered species, such as the black-necked crane, hornbill, takin, Himalayan antelope, golden langur monkey, and the white-bellied heron, of which there are only about 20 left in the world. The mysterious flora and fauna of Bhutan, a paradise for endangered wild animals, were captured on HD cameras. ▶ Purity that becomes one with nature - The Land of the Winds Every October, the black-necked crane, a rare bird in the world, comes here to spend the winter. Using the direction of the wind, the cranes fly over the 7,000m high Himalayas (28 times the height of the 63 Building). When the cranes leave, people sing folk songs to express their sorrow at their departure. Deer, who are startled by their own shadows, wander around the temples of Bhutan. Knowing that humans do not attack them, these animals already know how to become one with humans. The Bhutanese government has declared more than 60% of the country as protected areas, and already 1/4 of the country is a national park. They have also introduced environmental conservation as the most important element of their development policy. They do not catch trouts jumping out of the stream in front of their houses. We reveal a cross-section of the lives of Bhutanese people with simple smiles and clear eyes that cannot be deceived, who are at one with nature. ▶ The poorest, but happiest place - The land of heaven For Bhutanese people, blessings are not just economic wealth. Bhutan, the last remaining bastion of Mahayana Buddhism in the world, places the greatest value on happiness. The goal of national development policy is also the happiness of the people. The concept of "Gross National Happiness (GNH)" introduced by King Wangchuck over 30 years ago, aims to preserve the environment and traditional culture as its first goal. Although Bhutanese people are rich in natural resources, they refrain from developing them. They are a country that loves the joy of coexisting with nature more than the profits from destroying nature. We cover the paradoxical way of life of Bhutan, which is ranked first in the world in terms of happiness index, despite being one of the poorest countries in the world with a GDP per capita of $1,400 in 2006. ※ This video is [Environmental Special - New Year Special: Bhutan, the Land of Water, Wind, and Sky (broadcast on January 10, 2007)].
