In AD 641, Princess Wencheng traveled west to what is now called Xizang, bringing peace, culture and seeds. Those seeds are still blooming today.

Technology empowers local farmers and increases their income. Sometimes seeds don’t just grow crops – they grow connections. Follow CGTN's Zang Shijie to pick fruit and hear the echoes of history.
